The World -Wide Use of English.,_ At the beginning of the century there were not more than 20 millions of people in the whole world who spoke English. In 1801, . 160 million people spoke seven European languages—English, F: ench, German, I us - elan, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian. The population using these seven languages has now grown to 400 millions, and of these 135 millions speak English. At the begin- ning of the century English speakers were less than 13 per cent. of the total. They are now over 30 per 'cent., and outnumber those apeaking any other . European lan- guage. By the end of the century it is probable the English speakers of the world —that is to say, the persons who habitually use English as the vehicle for expressing their thoughts and ideas—will be • 150 mil- lions, or more than seven times as many as used that instrument of conversation 100 years before. This immense preponderance of English epeakers tends naturally to in- crease enormously the diffusion of a lan- guage. Dairy Markets.

Jack Bowie was a notorious poacher who flourished up till recently in a -certain dis- trict of Scotland. A bit of a wag, as well as a bit of ne'er do weel, Jock kept Sunday and Saturday alike, despite the remon- strance's of his neighbors. An old farmer, an elder of the kirk and a strict Sabbatarian, was especially severe upon Jack' for his shortcomings, and that worthy, who had his doubts as to the elder's godliness,- de- termined to get even with him upon the first opportunity. Jock was as skilful an angler as he was a poacher, and upon one occasion, having captured an extra large basket of trout, he resolved to present a portion of the catch to the elder. The gift having been duly accepted, the wily Jock remarked casually—" But, elder, I clean forgotto tell ye—the fish were catched ye-aterday (Sun- dae .) `` Weel, John," returned the elder, gazing steadily at the contents of the basket, I dinna see -that that was the fau't o' the trent." Jock took his departure sadder and wiser. • Live Stock Markets.
