TIME FOR
One of the Most Imperative Duties of the
American Press.

One OF the. Most Imperative Duties OF The
American Press.
There was a time. a few generations
ago., when both the formative and the
conservative influence Of the English
tongue were exerted almost exclusively
by the few literary leaders of the time.
If Addison admitted to his exquisite
manuscript any word, that word was at
once %ennobled; and so in the coffee
houses of old London, the process OF
language making went on, both through
the medium of conversation and that of
formal literary work. The reading
class was at that time a limited one 1t
was so rare as to be almost sensational
to find a homely worker in his shop fol-
lowing the thoughts and expressions of
the intellectual leaders Of the day; and
the little guild Of literary workers who
were so sadly patronized by the rich and
noble, really determined the English
which their patrons spoke. 1t was
possible for Pope to l~egitimatize q
bastard word or for Johnson to render
current an outer expression; but 1t was
scarcely possible for the slang of the
many to p~ercolate through inc social
strata far enough to corrupt the Ian
guage OF the few.
Nowadays this is all changed. The
functions once held by these great lit
erary leaders has passed to the news
papers. 1t has the greatest power for
evil and the greatest power for good in
this as in other respects. Let some man
use a striking word of his own coinage,
it needs only the influence of the press
to add that word to the popular currency
of the tongue, and ten years hence we
shall find it in the dictionaries. Of
course, q language must be enriched or
II will die, and, OF course, new con-
ditions demand new words, but 1t is
none the less true that this process Of
accretion goes on too fast, and that
there IL too little regard for the tradi-
tions and the dignity of the grand old
tongue which We all speak and which Is
now becoming dominant
Is it not time that the press of the
United States set its face in favor of
the reform of newspaper English? This
should not be done with any pedantry or
with any assumption Of infallibility.
but rather with a desire to weed out the
fimsy pretensions Of fiimsy writer's, WHO
are themselves inspired by the argot Of
the lower populace. Why, for example,
may we not call a barber q barber rather
than a tonsorial artist? Why isnot a corn
doctor a corn doctor or a horse doctor q
horse doctor, just as much when one Is
called q ~chiropodist and the other a
veterinary surgeonP Why, too, is It
permitted to every mountebank who
rides a bicycle, ascends in a balloon or
gives sparring lessons to call himself a
professor The bad application Of a
good word destroys its original useful
ness and gives 1t a brand of meretric-
i~ousness which can never be etfaced.-

PICTURESQUE COSTUMES.
Strange Gowns Worn by the Pretty Women
of HeligolRnd.

of Heligoland.
The national costume is not yet dis
carded in this Arcadian Isle, but 1T IL
generally reserved for holidays and Sun
day. Women look demure In red petit
coats fringed with yellow, dark jackets,
aprons OF snowy white, and black poke
bonnets. AS a fact, however, the bonnet
is seldom seen except on dowagers, the
head-gear of young women being a
~light-colored shawl, worn Spanish fash
ion. The men wear top boots, blue
trousers, white linen Jumpers" and
sou'western hats. But even they are
seen more often in a quiet o Intentional
dress of some serviceable stuff. A
BRIDES toilet is surprisingly strange,
the chief feature being q tall hat or
crown, deliberately ornamented with
pins, and from which falls a fringed
mantle. Even her personal fnery, how
ever, is secondary to the trappings of
the bed, which Is decked by herself and
her friends in the b~ridegroom's house.
The whitest Of linen, plenty of lace,
and doubtless n mountain OF feathers,
20 to make it sumptuOus. Guests are
bidden by the lovers together, in per-
son. After the marriage ceremony in
the church the party repair to the new
home and partako OF u national cake,
eaten with a sauce of syrup and melted
butter. When the merry-making is
over, the whole party go In procession
over every street On the island. More
eating and drinking and dancing, and at
last home,-Emma Cheney, In Scribner's
Magazine.

even Jesus that appeared unto thee in
the way as thou earnest, has sent mo
that thou mayst receive thy sight and
be filled with the Holy Ghost"
Instantly something like scales fell
from the blind mans eyes, and he arose
from that seat the mightiest evangel of
all ages.
There are many people in this house
to-day as blind as Pau was before
Ananias touched his eyes. And there
are many here from whose eyes the
scales have already fallen. You see all
subjects and all things differently-God,
and Christ, and eternity, and your W
immortal spirit.
Sometimes the scales do not all fall
at once. When l was a boy, at Mount
Pleasant, one Sunday afternoon read
ing Doddridge's Rise and Progress of
Religion in the Soul. that afternoon
some Of the scales fell from my eyes
and l saw a lit g. After had been in
the ministry about u year, one Sunday
afternoon in the village parsonage read
ing the Bible story of the Syro-Pheni-
clans faith other scales fell from my
eyes and | saw better. Two Sunday
evenings ago, while preparing for the
evening service in New York, / picked
up a book that l did not remember to
have seen before, and after | had read a
page about reconsecration to God l
think the remaining scales fell from my
eyes. Shall not our visit to Damascus
to-day result, like Paul's visit, in vision
to the blind and increased vision for
those who saw somewhat before.
! was reading of a painters child who
became blind in infancy. But after
the child was nearly grown n surgeon
removed the blindness. When told that
this could be done, the child's chief
thought, her mother being dead, was
she would be able to see her father,
tenderness. When sight came she was
in raptures, and ran her hands over her
fathers face, and hut her eyes as il to
assure herself that this was really the
father whom she had only known by
touch, and now looking upon him, no.
BILE man as he was, in appearance as
we'll as in reality she cried out: just
to think that l had this father so many
years and never knew him!" AS great
and greater is the SOULS joyful surprise
when the scales fall from the eyes and
the long spiritual darkness is ended.
and We look up into our Fathers face,
always radiant and loving, but now for
the first revealed and our blindness for
ever gone, we cry, abba. Father"
To each one of this vast multitude of
auditors | say, as Ananias did to Saul
OF Tarsus when sympathic fingers
touched the closed eyelids: Brother
Saull Brother SAUL the Lord, even
Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the
way that thou earnest, hath sent me
that thou highest receive thy sight
and be filled with the Holy Ghost"
