It has also been proven beyond a doubt that the idea of a lack of stability, and what the Duke of Wellington called “sticking courage in the French soldiery was as far from i the truth as was the preconceived be lief in German invincibility. On the contrary, the French, under tests well calculated to try the constancy of the hardiest veterans that ever plucked the flower Safety from the * nettle Danger, have exhibited the finest qualities of endurance, have met re verses with unbroken spirit, have shown steadiness in retreat «s well as valor in attack; and, after weeks of will be operated.

YON KiPPUR NEXT Another Jewish Holiday The Jewish people are nearing an other very solemn season, known as Yon Kippur. which begins on the even ing of September 29 at sundown and lasts until the corresponding hour the following day. It is known also as the day of atonement. It is a time of fasting and prayer tor the foigiveness of sins. Services are held and all Jews observe holiday, giving their time entirely to devotions. The New York season has just end ed. Yom Kippur occurs on the tenth day of the New Year, in the month of Tischri. The ordinary Jewish year has twelve months in it. Leap year, however, has thirteen months. The reason for this is that the Jewish month is only twenty-eight days, run ning with the moon. The Christian year has twelve months and there is just one additional day in leap year. Newspapers from Distant Lanas--Oddities ot the . Foreign Press.

Some of the papers bear names ot places, which require one to recall forgotten geography or refer to the atlas to locate Some of them are particularly [curious as they a.ie published in the vernacular or native languages which might be likeneM to the carefully written notes of a shorthand writer. Here are the well known Chinese characters arranged in vertical lines reading from top to bottom, the lines arranged from right to left. Tne Burmese language, as printed is composed principally of a combination of circles. Some one wittily sugested that for this reason circulars would be projierly printed in this language. Cingalese, the language of Ceylon, ia also curvilinear. Javanese and Siamese arc composed largely of vertical lines connected by loops at either top or bot tom butj'rarelyatboth. These languages bear some resemblance to the vertical writing now practiced in our public schools. The four hundred million people of India have nearly fifty different dialects or vernaculars. The Chamberlain Med icine Company advertises in ten of the principal ones as follows: Bengali, Gujurathi, Hindi, Kanarese, Malayalam Marathi, Sindhi, Tamil. Telegu and Uidu. The Sindhi and Urdu are writ ten from right to left in the Hebrew fashion The Urdu is a sort of script and is so chaotic in shape that it is im possible to reduce it to the movable type form. Papers printed in the Urdu language are therefore first written out by hand and a plate made by the lithograph process. The“Oudh Akhbar” a sixteen page daily published at Luck now in this language claims a circula tion of about 5,000. It is said that in order to handle this circulation it re quires an office force of about 200,- Fortunately for the managers, the wages paid to natives are only a few cents a day. The Chamberlain Medicine Comprny, advertises in newspapers printed in thirty-two languages. Besides the ver naculars and the well known European laneruages, French, Spanish, Portuguese Dutch, German, etc., the list embraces a numbef o^ languages which until com- parativelv recent times possessed n3 al phabet but for which the Roman alpha bet has been adopted. Among the»e are the native Hawaiian, Samoan, (Philippine Islands,) Kaffir, Zulu and Basuto, of South Africa.

This Illustrates a difficulty from which the young Englishman li| free, but which 'ts sometimes very amazing to the young Turk. He ought not to see his bride’s face until he has actually married her, or at the very least until he is betrothed. The young lady, as Duckett Ferriman pointB out, can take a drive and get a glimpse ot her suitor’s face out of doors. But her face should remain veiled from him, and, although he generally contrlveB to get an Idea of her appearance, it cannot always be done. Mr. Ferriman mentions a high official’g son who was mortified at his wedding to find bia bride a brunette, whea he wanted § blonde.
