ENRlCHlNC' LANGUAGE.
Tho Argot Invasion In France, and tho
Americanisms at Rome.

Some French writer's are now and
then calling attention to what they
term the argot invasion Of their Ian
gusge. 1t appears that new words and
phrases Of very questionable origin
are gradually creeping into current
French literature. They are tolerated
on account OF their force and clearness.
The tendency of French writers and
orators just now is to use the words
that are most expressive, regardless of
their source. In many cases the ante
cedents of the newcomers are decidedly
bad, but this does not prevent them
from getting into good company.
Partisan argot, as cyerybud knows
is the slang of the Sums In former
times it was the exclusive property of
the convict trusts, but it is gradually
working its way to the front, and a
slight spriukling Of it may now be
found in the most aristocratic portions
of the French capital. Take, for in
stance, the word mi0che. Its original
meaning was "sOn Of the thief or
the "child of convict but just now It
is employed in the best families as a
term Of endearment addressed to chill
dren There are many other kindred
words getting into common use which
can be traced to the prisons OF France.
1t is sometimes said, and perhaps
with share of truth, that this So
called argot invasion is the result of
the poverty of the French language,
but, be this as it may, it is certainly
rendering that tongue more difficult for
4 81 = Il
language without its slang and,
generally speaking the parents OF
slang are yulgarity and crime. In
London slang is the thieves own.
There the pickpockets and their asso-
ciates have a sort of language peculiar
to themselves, and from time to time
some OF its words break through the
lines of propriety and become merged
in modern vocabularies of the swells
and bellies. Then the thieves abandon
them and invent new expressions to
take their places.
In this country, says a writer in the
New York Sun, we have no argot and
comparatively little slang; but we have
expressive words and phrases which
are now generally known as American
isms, and by which, after all, the En-
glsh language may become still further
enriched. The blizzard, for instance,
has come TO stay, and a more express
i've word it would be difficult to inn
agine. The word bulldoze is IA singu-
larly strong term but it is too clumsy
to rise very high or stay very long.

but he was raised to the dignity Of a

Sir one might infer from the letter TO The Tribune
OF January 20 in regard 10 the meeting of milk pro-
ducers at ST. Elmo Hotel, Goshen that producers

are strongly in favor of the stock company. IL
would not be necessary to buy ont the present milk
men. only wagons, horses, etc. If they have any we
want. The milk is own and we have a right
TO sell 10 whom choose. and the dealer has the
same right Because have let them have our
milk in the past is not to say must continue to
do So II they get milk Of other producers, 1t Is
well; if not they cannot sell it. We should not
deprive them of any rights by selling our own products
direct TO the consumer The result OF any other plan
than stock companies would create necessity for
a new contract every month or six months. And for
every 2 cent the farmer received from the con
traitor the consumer would have to pay an advance
of one or two cents per quart TAT least such has been
the in the past ana get the same ciass Oh MIX
