ABBREVIATED NAMES.
Pernicious American Custom That
Greatly Deceives Foreigners.

a Pernicious American Custom That
Greatly Deceives Foreigners.
One thing that always surprises for
eigners is that with our beautiful and
original geographical names. we have
so little taste as to disguise them in
authorizations. I heard q foreigner
once say that he had brother .liv ing
in ST. Paul, '.Minn.," and he said
s'Minn.," and not Minnesota, with
evidently no idea whatever that
"Minn." was cheap and vulgar alb
breviation of musical and romantic
word. That we Americans write to our
European friends, or even our Amer
lean ones, as from Me, Miss. o., NJ,
Mon. and Min, is no credit whatever
to our aesthetic sense. and that we
disguise in our public journals
our lovely Colorado, Califor-
MIA, Connecticut. Montana, Iowa,
Idaho and Wyoming as Col, Cal.
Conn, Ia, 10. and Wy. shows that we
have no national sense of poetry and
music. English people shortened their
county names. but their county names
are tame prose compared with the
breezy picturesqueness of our State
and Territory names. Besides the En-
glish abbreviation is usually in the
mere suppression of the word shire"
common to all their counties. The
French are never too much in haste to
treat their geographical names with
respect, although the majority of these
names are much longer than ours
The average American would consider
it sheer waste of time and ink to
write Meurtheet-M oselle or Seine
Inferieure or Pyrenees- Orientales. but
what Frenchman would date his letter
from M. -et-M S., Inf. or P-O? 1t
would take much of the tinkle and
trill, the sweet lutte notes, and
echoes of pipe and tabor, from out
our memories of Europe if it was thus
Americanized. An anonymous letter
in Europe was once traced to an Amer
lean because the word Vermont was
written VT, as no one but one to the
commonplace manner born would
have written it. On the other hand,
letter was once returned to its
writer. who had just returned from
a long residence abroad, by the post
master of a remote Western hamlet,
because he could not make out its
destination. 1t was directed in full:

By mounting any one of dozen

ancient Judea. 1t is in the synagogues
that this change confronts us. They are
