American Slang.

From the Cornhiu Magazine.
To be strictly just We must remember that
large part OF American slang-the raw material
OF the American language-is ultimately due to
the universal prevalence of the faculty OF humor
In all parts OF America. The English In the lump
are not humorous people. Our Phinstine classes
90 not see Joke and II they see it they rather re-
sent IL, as they would slap on the back, or other

sons Inc small grocer In England, or the sur
Veyor OF taxes, would be incapable of originating

N orlglnated Dy his assistant or his shop boy. But
uteo through the whole population. Philistinism,
10 DC sure, is just as rampant as with US; nay,
even more 80; New York and Chicago are true
modern Gaths and Askelons; but the American
PnlllStine differs fundamentally from our own va

considerable fund OF native geniality. He taxes o
JOKE, or, as ne himself says, "twigs the racket"
Win responsive twinkle in the motiOnlesS corner

MI. Weller senior took his laughter, swallows and
dgests it, and chews the cud OF his appreciation at
leisure. Among such people, half-educated,

From the Pail Mall Gazette
A correspondent writes: "The question OF the
right OF women to lids In smoking Carriages is
assuming somewhat serious phase. A short time
ago q friend OF mine. returning from his honey
moon at Portsmouth, got into a smoking carriage
with his wife. railway Official at once requested
that she would md q seat In another carriage
and, on being asked why, he answered that ladies
had no rght In smoking carriages 1t is not din
cult TO see that smokers are coming to look upon
ladies' rights In regard TO railway carriages as
mems wrongs, and have prompted Ofiiclals on the
line to prevent ladies from getting into smoking

move or TO allow his wife to move and the oficial
seeing that he was seriously annoyed, took him.

Where the Day Begins.

from CnamOer'6 journal.
According to the way in which this arrange
ment is now carried out, the first land that the
new day dawns upon is Easter Island, about 23O
miles west Of the coast of Chilli South America.
That Is to say the I'd Of July breaks here within
few hours OF the LIST, having broken on the Ameri-
can coast to the east, and the two days run on
alongside-the I'd In Easter Island and places west
the LIST In all places on the American continent.
We may, therefore, realize this idea-Jhat at 20
O'Clock any morning OF our lives in Great Britain
the next day is commencing in the world, and is
TO be found at this little island in the Pacific Ocean
whence, in due course, 1t will travel round to u.s.
But to have thus the start OF the world is not an
mit1gated advantage 10 these islanders. Suppose
one OF them sails east to America what is the re-
suit? He will find that they keep the day there
under different date, and he will have to reckon
one day in his calendar twice over to put himself
right with their notions On the other hand, IL
an American crosses from east to west this wOn-
derful magic line where the day begins he will
find the dates In this fresh part OF the world are
one in advance OF him, ana he must needs strike
day out OF his calendar to keep up with the
times This fact was curtOusly illustrated in the
case OF Magellan, the Portuguese captain, who
sailed around the world from east to west in 1922
and having crossed the magic line OF 'day s
birth" In his wander1ngs, his calendar became, OF
course, day In arrear. The sailors were COM
pletely ignorant OF this, and finding, landing at
home, that their Sabbath was falling ON a Mon
day, they accused one another OF tampering with
the reckoning 1t was not Tor some time that the
true and simple explanation OF the wonderful loss
OF time was discovered.

AstrOnOny's Future.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
1t Is announced that the astronomers in charge
Of the Lick observatory in California have made
some discoveries in regard to matters and things
on the moons surface Of such startling and in
credible nature that they do not dare to make
them public. The promise OF q full disclosure OF
these remarkable discoveries at some future time
Is tantalizingly neld out, but at present nothing
definite can be learned from the astronomers.
These able scientists answer all anxious INQUIRIES
with pOrtentiouS shake OF their wise heads and
the little they have TO say on the subject Is SO
vague and mysterious that 1t merely seems to give
a keener edge TO the curiosity OF the millions who
have not had an opportunity OF looking through
world It is to be hoped that the promised revea e
tons win not be long delayed. Anything
viii be better than this suspense. As
is in order. The wonderful stories '% tod
In Locke's "Moon Hoax" and In the similar tales
OF Poe and Verne, may turn out TO be tame and
soon TO De made public. Perhaps the investiEa-
ton OF the Lick astronomers will show that the
moon is inhabited and that its dwellers have a
to hear that the moon people have reached an adj.
vanced age In the industrial arts. All this in
tors, but we have never had any light thrown
upon the details The stature of the moon peO-
pie, their mode Of life and their occupations. the
Size OF their Cities the architecture OF their build
tngs, the scale OF their engineering works, their
modern cOnvenienceS-au these matters have
heretofore been beyond our knowledge. VIII the
these things before us7 1t may be suggested
that, according 70 the generally accepted
theory, the moon Is uninhabited and with.
out vegetable hIe or even an atmosphere
The statement, however, that the discoveries
made through the big telescope are too startling
TO be told To the common herd until after consul
tatiOn with the most eminent astronomers OF the
world as 70 the most Judicious way OF presenting
the facts OF the case VIII lead most people TO the
conclusion that old theories have very little to DO
with the matter In hand. The only thing that the
public can do under the circumstances Is TO brace
up and get ready for the shock that will come with
the expected deuge OF Information. What the
moon is able TO endure we ought at least be able
TO hear without losing our equilibrium.

Defense Of German Cookery.

10 the Edltor OF 1HE EVENING STAR:
Seeing small paragraph in last Saturdays
STAR, something about German cooking, or rather
as described there In other words, "Grease In
Germany" beg to state such person does not
understand good cooking, or never was accus-
TONED to good meal In his life. As q general
rule the German diet Is considered the best pre-
pared and also the healthiest food that can be
obtained. AS for cooking soups, does this person
really know how to prepare plate Of soup? Are
not the best soups prepared by extracting the Juice
or flavor OF certain kinds OF meats, and are there
any meats that do not contain some little fat or
OH? The Americans, as l have perceived very
often, are great mimicS III may speak SOY, and
Try 10 Initiate the French as well as the German
cooking, hence they cannot conceive correct idea
OF cooking, good cooking, should say. True, that
you VIII not always ind well prepared German
dinner set before you, but cannot comprehend
that one 1l-gotten dinner should give such person
an absurd idea, that the German cooking in general
would be d1stasteful and unwholeSome On the
whole the Americans can never appreciate the
German Dill OF fare, as the majority or Americans
are TOO ignorant TO understand good cooking and
are not accustomed TO any other but their own

he was motioned to take seat, and the work Of

and enthusiasm, and frequent "points OF order"
and constitutional references were suggested.
Inc reporter saw that an election of some sort
was taking place. and In due time the ballots were
cast tellers appointed and the votes counted

While was In San Salvador saw Q strange
sight In the street one feast day. A man was un-
dergoing penance BY crawling from one church to
another. Both churches were in the same street,
and the distance between them was about half q
mile. The man had on white suit OF undercl0th-
Ing, and white cap was drawn down over his
face. He crswled-not on his hands and knees
no; those who imposed the penance knew trick
worth Two OF that-he crawled ON his elbows and
knees, and In the middle OF the street. over the
trregulariy laid, jagged stones. One or two women
staid with the man and spread pieces OF cloth "a
soften somewhat the hardness Of the road. What
was his sin did not learn.
