What Constitutes Slang.

Probably all right-minded persons,
says a correspondent, dislike slang ex-
pressions, but few, if any, would think
of calling proverbial phrases slang. The
writer quotes two specimens of Amer
lean slang, namely: "He dies in his
boots" and "He bets his bottom dollar
on it." Now these are both old proven
bal sayings. In essence they are not
American, neither are they slang, ac-
cording.to the usual acceptance Of the
term. Slang words are words misappli-
ed so as to have no real meaning, or an
incorrect one. They are cant words
which convey no sense, or else an incor-
rect one, to the uninitiated nearer.
Thus, flare up was a favorite express
sion forty years ago, and it is slangnow
to speak of an "awfullyn jolly song, a
stunning" rosebud, OF a gorgeous"
piece Of brown paper. 1
All such misapplied words are slang;
and though in a few rar instances, es-
pecially among the American ones,
slang words are expressive and original
so that they may be fairly adopted and
recognized, yet, as rule, they r no
real addition to our language. Ex-
pressions such as ''tall" talksSfor which
no better or telling word can be found,
are perhaps fairly ~tolerable; but to say
l shall .stool'' into town, in place of
drive, Is simply slang without excuse
1t is not the words but the misappli-
cation which constitutes slang; the
use of proverbial expressions, quaint
old terms, and hackneyed phrases, Is
not slang, though often bad taste. Do
not let us object to any old fashioned,

N~EBRASKA'S SHAME.

The more thought one gives the muir
ders and outrages committed in Ne
braska by its citizens, the stonger
becomes the conviction that society is
faulty in that state, especially in the
central portion. 1t is pushing things
to the utmost limit of forbearance
when an organized gang coolly murders
a man, but to allow the offence to 60
unpublished while the officers of the law
supinely aquiesce to the stress of cir
cumstances, is beyond all thought Of
patience. Society cannot prevent the
direct commission Of a crime, but it
a punish the offender, thereby giving
him IN example as well as all others who
hear Of 1t. Hence the salutary influ-
ence Of punishment. But If the crimi-
nal be not visited with his just deserts,
the fact will give encouragement to
others who contemplate crime, and
then society is at the mercy Of evil
doers. The certainly Of punishment,
once observed learned jurist, is more
sanitary in its influence than the pun
ishment itself. So that ifa man con-
ceives q dark deed, he is likely to
weigh this matter well, and II he con-

cludes from observation that he is GER
tain Of chastIsement, he win very likely
refrain. The mode of infliction offers
no obstacle. Tie death penalty does
not of itself, prevent murders, because
every murderer well know what follows
conviction for such a crime. He SIM
ply puts a blind faith in chance that he
will either escape detection, or that
some circumstance win arise on his
trial which will save his neck. There
fore, the sheet anchor of society is a
speedy and just enforcement of its
punitive laws. Remove that, and So
ciety will drift along helplessly at the
mercy Of storms and still more terrible
social pirates and cut Threats.
This seems to be much like the con-
dition of Nebraska to-day. 1t harbors
within its borders men who have COM
mitted heinons crimes that were inven-
ted by demonacal savages, and which
never disgraced the Caucasian race
until those iends in Custer county tor
tured their victims. The offence calls
for speedy trial and the severest penalty
of the law. But the offenders are al
lowed to remain in the neighborhood of
their crime, while outraged justice sits
weeping by the temple of liberty. Ne
braska has a bad record before the
world, not so much on account of the
crimes themselves, but because the
guilty wretches are allowed to remain
unwhipt of justice.

Poisons and Ant,dotes.

The following list gives some OF the
more common poisons and the remedies
most likely to be at hand in the case of
need. The directions may be old, but
in case you get a good strong dose of
poison down you, you will not object
to a cure on account of its age:
Acids-These cause great heat and
sensation of burning pain In the stom-
ach. Remedies, magnesia, soda, pearl
ash or soap dissolved in water, then use
the stomach pump or some kind of an
emetic.

gar.

vinegar.

ache by an emetic, then dash cold
water on the head and give ammonia

arations Of iron, particularly ny

tally.
