PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH.
Th Dialort Rapidly Oolnc Oat of Im and
Kfifllab Taking It flare.
In twenty-five or thirty years, If not
before, the Pennsylvania DuUh dialwt
will be to all intenta and purposes a
dead lanuape. There have boen very
great changes during the last ten or fif
teen year and the rapidity with which j
they are taking place is being acceler
ated every year. This is noticeable in
the churches, in the newspapers, in the
language of business, in intercourse with
the people, and in the increased facility
with which one who does not under
stand the dialect can make himself un
deraUiod wherever he goes. When the
Presbyterian Church was founded in
Readinp, Pa., about half a century ago,
it was done chiefly because there were a
few people who wanted to have Enjrlisb
preachinjr, and the only way to have it
was to found a new church. Now there
are only three or four out of forty
churches where the services are con
dubted in the German language.
A score of years ago there was a split
In the Trinity Lutheran church, the
largest in Ueading, because tome of the
members wanted one service each week
In English. Now for a lonjr time past
fell the services of tbatcburcb have been
in English. In the country all the young
ieopl who come up for "oonflrmation"
have been taught the catechism in En
glish, and where they have not already
been granted it they are clamoring for
English services in the churches, and
all the old-style preachers who have
been accustomed to delivering German
sermons all of their lives find that they
must begin to yield a little to the new
demands or sacrifice their usefulness
and popularity. Every parent who is
ambitious for his children desires that
they shall learn to speak English, every
young man and woman feels that to do
so is a much desired accomplishment,
and there are few of the younger gener
ation w ho are not able to understand
and carry on conversation in the lan
guage of the country, though in theji
hemes and in their ordinary business
they may use the Pennsylvania Dutch.
Nearly all of the last generation were
taught to read, and many of them U
Write, German in the schools which were
attached to the churches. Since the es
tablishment of the common-school sys
tem these have gradually died out, and
there is probably not one of them left.
Tho early newspapers of the countrj
wero. all German, and there are still
quite a number of them published, bul
they seem destined to die out in a com
paratively short time for want of sub
scribers who will be able to read them.
The proprietors of tho Adler. one of the
pioneer newspapers of Pennsylvania,
which was founded over a century ago,
have recognized the direction in which
things are tending by issuing an English
paper to take the place of the .German
edition. The same precaution has beer,
taken by tho owner of tho Kut.town
Journal, au old and influential German
paoer.
Tho time of the war, and for s few
years thereafter, the Adler was still s
great power in politics, and what it said
was widely quoted and commented upon,
but for the last fifteen years it ha
scarcely been beard of, even in the mosl
exciting political campaigns, and no one
who wishes to address the public on an)
political subject thinks of doing sc.
through the journal that for nearly i
century was one of the great Democratic
orgaus of Pennsylvania, and was known
far and wide as the Derks County Uible.
This is not because the Adler is nc
longer a good newspaper, but because il

THE GRIMALDI FAMILY.
One of the Olilent and Klrheat of Euron.'i
1'rinceijr Iloa.ra.
The Grimaldi family, from which the
rulers over Monaco have sprung, is an
cient and distinguished- Several foolist
statements are current about the origin
of the Grimaldis. The authority for these
fables is Charles de Venasque, secretary
to llonore II., the first ruler who as
sumed the title of Prince of Monaco
after it had been ascribed to him, proba
bly through error, in the official report
of the French General who, in 164U, re
captured tho Lerins Islands. Charles
de Venasque drew up a pedigree of tho
family to which his master belonged,
and lie may have thought that Honored, th(J bureau also BhowSi by corapari.
II. would lie gratified by being assured
that he had a distinguished ancestor liv
ing in 712, and another who was Lord ol
Monaco in the tenth century. These
particulars have been printed, and have
been reproduced as authentic. Indeed,
a gonealoglcal fiction has a tenacious
life. A long and illustrious pedigree is
a possession which once acquired is not
easily renounced, every member of the
family to which it relates having a per
sonal interest and natural prido in cher
ishing it. Thus, when M. Henri Meti
vier who w-as tutor, wo believe, to the
late Prince of Monaco wrote the large
and able work on "Monaco and its
Princes," which appeared in 1805, he in
corporated into It the family fables
which Charles do Venasque fabricated
or copied in 1647. Tho facts relating to
tho origin of the Grimaldis and to their
careers as sovereign Princes of Monaco
do not require any coloring or varnish
either to attract the student of history
or to fascinate tho reader who likes to
be diverted or tbrillod. There is nu
lack of amusing particulars in the his
tory of Monaco; soni! of tho incidents in
it are as tragic as any with which Shakes
peare has dealt. Quarterly Hevie-v. ,
The Lord Mayor of Loudon.
The Lord Mayor receives from the city
of London for Ids year of oflico $'0,000,
and on an average spends $40,000 to $!0,
000 in excels of allowance. He has no
other provision except the use of the
Mansion House and its furniture. Wino
stands as one of the chief items of ex
penditure. In the basement of th
Mansion House there are quite as many
cellars as there are aldermen who have
not passed the chair, and it has been tho
practice of aldermen to lay in a stock of
wine long before their mayorality. This
was done to a much greater extent some
years ago, when it was more the fashion
to drink port wine. Then an alderman
would place in the cellar allotted to
himself pipes of port sometimes years
before it would be put on the tables of
tho Egyptian hall. The wine not con
sumed is usually sold or removed by the
outgoing Lord Mayor. There is no rea
son to doubt that Mr. Whitehead's may
orality has cost 8100,000.-

A Young l.aily (irt I'alr by Walking; ta

She was as gentle of eye as a soft
gazelle, that is, she was, for this didn't
happen this week. It was in a shoe
store in Lewiston, and the gentle
midden was an acquaintance of the
proprietor and always bought her No.
2's there when she encased her dainty
foot In any thing brand new. "Here'
something that would fit you," said the
jocular proprietor, passing out a pair of
wool boots fitted with a pair of lumber
man's rubbers, "I'll make you a present
of them it you will wear them down to
the post-office and back."
"Wait a minute," said she, and in a
"minute" she was arrayed in woolen
boots and lumberman's rubbers. "Watch
me to the post-office," and she was gone.
.'Her feet beneath her petticoat, like
little mice, stole in and out as if they
feared the light," wrote the poet two
hundred years ago, but he didn't refer to
the Lewiston young lady who did this
feat on foot, or he never would have
said it She was back in less than ten
minutes, red-cheeked and laughing.
"There," said she, as she passed up
the boots. "Do them up. I'll send
them to my father down in Penobscot
County. 1 never lose a chance to help
the folks at home," and the shoe-dealer
was as good as his word, and "dad" mar-
veled at the pair of nice wool boots from
his thoughtful daughter in Lewiston.

taoit oi tne salamander.
Considerable ignorance exists, even
among persons of education, as to the
habits of the salamander. The mere
mention of this harmless little betrach
ian recalls to the minds of most people
mystic ideas with respect to fire-eating
and fire-inhabiting creatures, which
have probably caused many of the poor
little brutes to be burnt by experiment
al philosophers who should have been
far above a belief in such absurdities.
The spotted salamander is the color of
lamp-black, with numerous large yellow
spots and stripes, and is very common
all over Southern Europe, as well as in
Northern Africa. It haunts all manner
of dark and cool places, such as cavities
under logs of wood, and holes In old
walls, where they can find a supply of
I insects, worms or slugs. All the sala
mander's movements are performed
with such absurd solemnity that the
most hardened reptile-hater could not
bo uninterested. Sometimes the opera
tion of swallowing a worm will last
twenty minutes. Science.
Longevity In Norway.
The Norwegians, it seems, are the
longest-lived people under the sun. So
we learn from an elaborate "Livs og
Dodstabeller for def Norske Folk," just
published by the Norwegian Official
Statistical Bureau, or tables of life and
death among the Norwegian people.
The average duration of life in Norway
is 48.83 for the men, 61.30 for the women
inl AQ T7 tnr hnth soxPfL The director
boji with earlier decades, that the aver
age longevity of the Norwegian folk has
considerably increased. "If the mor
tality in Norway," he writes, "is seven
teen per cent, more favorable than in
Central and Western Europe.it is greatly
duo to the comparatively slight mor
tality among our younger children." To
what particular causes this compara
tively slight mortality among children
is due we are not told, but probably
anxious parents in warmer climates may
take a hint from it and make inquiries.

WISDOM'S EMBLEM.
The Struggle for Supremacy lletween the
l'liiloHopher and the Owl.
Once upon a time the directors of a
large public building devoted to learn
ing met to decide upon a proper emblem
for wisdom, whoso statue they dosired
should be upon the topmost spire of tho
structure, All mannor of created boings
contended for tho honor of typifying
wisdom and the strife waxed vehement,
insomuch that the directors were sore
perplexed. At last tho contention was
narrowed down to two, the Philosphor
and the Owl.
"I am in the human form divine,"
said tho Philosopher, ''I embody the
knowledge of tho ancients and the dis
coveries of the moderns. I can commu
nicate my knowledge by spoken words
and by written signs. Moreover, I am
a representative of tho only race of
mammals that is endowed with a wisdom
tooth. 1 claim to be the best type of
wisdom.",
"1 do not. profess to embody all knowl
edge," hooted the Owl, "but have that
which Is better. I possess the art of
concealing my ignorance."
Whereupon tho directors unanimously
choso tho owl as tho better emblem ot
wisdom, and they placed its statue upon
the pinnacle of their templeof learning,
where it may bo soon to this day. Chi
