The Word Origins.

II there is any word in the English
language which is more a favorite and
more familiar than any other it would
seem to be the word "baby." 1t must,
one would think, be as old as the
language itself, and yet the word baby
is not genuine English word after
all. Our learned men derive it from
the Irish bab, baban. or the Welsh
baban, ma ban. The French, however,
who have the same word. but who spell
it bebe, insist tina. it is of French origin
and tell this curious story of its be-
ginning:
In the French tongue final r, fol-
lowing the vowel e, is not sounded.
Formerly this was also the case with
the final |. Bel-bel, meaning "pretty
one"-a term often applied to children
was thus shortened to bebe and grad
ually passed from the French into
other languages.
1t is much more likely, however,
that the word is due to tho process
which learned men call onomatopeia.
This is long and very hard word, not
to be pronounced readily even by
school-masters. 1t means the forming
of word by imitation of the sound
made by the thing itself.
Two such words are buzz, which
signifies the noise made by insects, and
crackle, the noise of the burning or
breaking of twigs.
Thus the words baby. bebe, and the
like may well have been borrowed
from the first babbling attempts of the
babies themselves. The child is called
baby because he says ba-ba or some
thing like it before he says anything
else. Perhaps it is a mere accident
that infants are not called ah-goos in
stead of babies.
Another word which would seem to
be entitled to an English origin is
''curfew." which is the name of an old
institution in gland-the ringing Of
a church-bell at bedtime.
But the word, as well as the institu-
ton, is derived from the French. Its
original form is couvre-feu, which
means cover fire. 1t was the old sig
nal from the church to the people to
cover their fires and 60 to bed. Where
wood fires are used it is possible to
keep the Goals alive over night by
covering them with ashes.
The custom of ringing the curfew,
though it has disappeared, for the most
part, in Europe and in American
cities, still prevails in many villages in
various parts of the United States. The
bells are regularly rung at 9 o'clock in
the evening, though the ringing is
oftenest called by the people "the 9
o'clock bell," with no thought of its
original significance.
1t is only one of the many old-time
customs which have survived long
after the use to which they were once
put has been forgotten Youths Com
paniOn.

Protection From Clothes Moths.

During the latter part of May or
early in June n vigorous campaign
should be entered upon. All carpets,
clothes, cloth-covered furniture. furs,
and rugs should be thoroughly shaken
and aired, and, if possible, exposed to
the sunlight as long as practicable. Ii
the house is badly infested or if any
particular article is supposed to be
badly infested, free use of benzine,
in the manner mentioned in my last
article, will be advisable. All floor
cracks and dark closets should be
SPRAYED with this substance. Too
much pains cannot be taken to destroy
every moth and every egg and every
newly Matched larva, for immunity for
the rest of the year depends largely
almost entirely-upOn the thorough
ness with which the work of extermin-
alton is carried on at this time. The
benzine spray will kill the insect in
every stage, and it is one of the few
substances which will destroy the egg.
| would, however, repeat the caution
as to its inflammability. No light
should be brought into a room in
which it has been used until after a
thorough airing and until the odor is
almost dissipated.
The proper packing away of furs
and winter clothing through the sum-
mer is serious matter. A great deal
of unnecessary expenditure in the way
of cedar chests and cedar wardrobes
and various compounds in the way OF
powders has been urged by writer's on
these pests. But experience fully
proves that after thorough treatment
in May or June, garments may be
safely put away for the rest of the sea-
son with no other protection than
wrapping them closely in stiff paper.
An excellent plan is to buy for a small
sum from tailor a number of paste
board boxes in which they deliver
suits. and carefully fold and pack
away all clothes, cumming strip OF
wrapping paper around the edge OF
the cover so as to leave no crack.
These boxes will last for a lifetime
with careful use. Others use for the
same purpose ordinary paper flour
sacks or linen pillow-cases, which
answer we'll. The success of these
means depends entirely on the thor
oughness of the preliminary work.
Camphor, tobacco, naphthaline and
other strong odorants are only partial
repellants and without the precautions
urged are of little avail.-Good House
keeping.
