Tho Silly Slang with Which Too Many
People Interlard Their Talk.

10oPl0 1ntefl1rd Their Talk.
There is nothing in the world which
produces the sense Of mental nausea
more completely or is more certain to
turn the intellectual stomach than the
use OF certain jocularities Of speech
with which many people think at to
adorn their conversation, says the Lon
Ion Spectator. The people who seem
TO find it impossible to speak of an I'M
married man except as "a gay bach
elor," with whom the sea is always 'sthe
briny" or the herring pond" and
horse "a fiery steed," who eternally talk
about ''Sunday-go-to-meeting" clothes,
Ind who have such phrases as mo ex-
ira CHARGE" "agitate the tintinnabula-
tor" ''the noxious weed" "the pipe Of
peace, forty winks" and Drawing the
elements forever on their lips, are ca
pable of producing a sense Of disgust in
those who care to see language kept

tolerable. It is difficult to say whether
these cant phrases that is perfectly
proper description of them are
more odious when used consciously
DR. unconsciously-that is, by people
who believe them to be funny and in
tend that their hearers should consider
them funny, or by those who have
merely caught them up and repeat
them like parrots, and without any in
tention, good or bad. In our own opin-
lon the use Of ''common-form" ocular
tiles is most offensive in those who
think of them as wit, though most pain
full in persons who use them uncon-
sciously and as mere methods of ex-
pressing their meaning. We feel that
those who try to force laugh out of
such expressions as ''my downy couch"
or committing matrimony," who
squirm into a smile as they ask if
"there isn't room for little one," or
who speak of 'jappanning their trotter-
cases." might fairly be shot at sight.

the title of Father of Centennials. 1t
is said that the suffering public owes to
him the original suggestion of all the

the worlds fair now impending over
Chicago. And now this insatiate
wretch is connecting an international
celebration of the birth of Christ to be
