Queer Pet Names.

The terHs employed by the people
Of one nation as the choicest phrases
in their vocabulary of endearment are
often employed for quite the opposite
purpose by other peoples. One of the
most famailiar and most coveted
phrases of endearment among the
French, for instance, is my little
pig" and "my little puppy dog" is
also much appreciated.
When a French husband calls his
wife "a cat" she does not fly into a
passion of resentment, as an English
speaking wife might do in the same
circumstances, but takes it as a gen.
tie compliment:
On the other hand, if he were to
call her duck" she would be very
much offended.
Not long ago, in Germany, letters
written by the late Count Won Moltke
to his betrothed were published. In
these the great soldier frequently
called the lady s.my little kernel Of
coffee"
This strikes one as very queer pet
name. and has suggested to q cynical
authority that in view of the writer's
character and profession, my little
grain of powder" or "my little lump
Of lead" would have been more ap-
propriate.
