It is said that the nations of the earth
speak about ninety different dialects,
But, these dialects can be traced to a
much smaller number of languages. All
these languages are divided into three
classes, namely, the Indo-Germanic,
which embraces the ancient classical
languages and those of modern Europe;
the Sanscrit, which embraces all the
various languages of India, and the; Se¬
mitic, which embraces the Hebrew,
(,’haldaic, Syriac, Arabic, etc.
Tire gold and scarlet of the sun is ri¬

are five of the cupolas, and no less than
nine hundred pounds of gold were used
in overlaying them. The doors of the

One curious revelation made by recent
censuses is found in the growth of the

A statistician has been studying the
effect of comfort on longevity, His
tables show that the richest people have
an average life of fifty.two years, the
middling forty-six. and the poor only
forty-one and a half. A well-to-do man
is* ns liablo to infections disease as a
pauper, while diphtheria, croup, whoop
ing cough, and scarlet fever are more
prevalent among the rich. Consumption
and pneumonia claim the poor, who are
comparatively free from brain fever.
There is apparently some advantage in
being rich.

A < ■ertnun writer estimates the
of blind persons in the world at about
1 000.000. This is not a mere guess.
but is based on accurate statistics, which
show that, on the average, there is one
blind person among every 1,400; hence,
as this planet has about 1.400,000,000
inhabitant8> thig would make 1,000,000

Then follow with a still larger percentage
Russia, Norway and Finn land. The
largest number of blind persons is to be
found in Egypt. At Cairo one person
among twenty is blind, and Dr. Franke,
of Vienna,once encountered in one morn
in’g ramble almost 1,000 blind men and
women. Many are also found in China
and Japan. Germany has the largest

A commission appointed by the Ger¬
man government last fall on the subject
of vaccination and its effects as a pre¬
ventive of smallpox reports that since
1874, when revaccination began to be
s'rictlyand generally enforced, not one
death from smallpox lias occurred in the
German army, while in those of Austria
and France, where revaccination is neg¬
lected and where the soldiers mix with
an imperfectly protected population, the
moitaiity has been high, ranging from
ten to twenty-five per 100,090 in the
Austrian army and from seventeen to
twenly-nine in the French. Comparison
of the ravages of the disease in the large
cities of Europe is also made, in all
. being largely , favoi .
cases the results in
Germany. 1 hese facts are held to
show that revaccination confers almost
complete immunity from smallpox, and
justify the enforcement of the ordinance
by tbe German health authorities. This
testimony accords with the third pro¬
position of the Illinois State board of
health in its exhaustive report on thi
subject, to wit: “That not only may
epidemic outbreaks be prevented with

Persian Fire-Worshipers.
Ex-United States Minister Benjamin
. a ,. s [ n the Independent: When the
Arabs, burning with religious zeal, car
ricd the doctrines of Mohammed into
Persia, and forced the acceptance of the
Koran at the point of the sword, that
country abandoned the worship of tire
and the principles taught by Zerdusht
or Zoroaster. The fire-worshipers who
remained were mostly driven out of the
country by persecution, and became the
parsees of India; a few remained in
Persia, whose descendants are found
there to this day. But they do not
number over 23,000. They are most
numerous at Yezd, where they weave
gome of the finest of the silk stuffs for
which Persia is famous. Elsewhere they
are agriculturists. They wear a peculiar
garb, of which a distinguishing color is
yellow, and are probably the most up¬
right people in a country where correct
principles and practice are scarce. Of
course they retain the worship and creed
of ancient Persia, including the mystical
veneration for firelight. It is worthy of
note that the more intelligent of the
Guebres deny that they worship either
the sun or fire, but rather the deity, or
principle symbolized by those objects.
This may be true of educated Guebres;
but the lower and ignorant classes un¬
doubtedly have not sufficient refinement
to make so subtle a distinction. Those
who are opposed to smoking, pleased on the
ground of morals, will be to
learn that no Guebre ever uses tobacco,
while to smoke in his presence is an af¬
front, because of the sacred ness of fire.

spectable and intelligent old gentleman,
