reckoned with the antique world, but belonged
TO that which was to come. What Professor
Jebb saws of the Greeks who followed Euripides
is profoundly interesting because 1t puts such
emphasis this estimate Of the last great
Greek tragic writer.
Sanguine and hopeful as the Homeric poesy
is II must be viewed as standing also between
a world that and that was TO be-
Otherwise how can one harmon2e its almost
childish simplicity with its perfection OF art? 1t
may ''belong to age that in respect or
conscious thought, IL related to our own as
childhood to maturity; but it bears no traces
Of the primitive stage in literature" Professor
Jebb contrasts the Hellenic spirit with that
of priest-ridden Egypt and the robber Kingdom
Of Assyria. as we'll as with Sanscrit genius.
But all this fails to cleaI up the mystery OF
Greek life with its sudden emergence into the
full light of its culture. If we could but
find the last chapters of this miraculous history.
The unity Of Hellenic literature it grew up
between the ages Of Homer and Euripides Is
another thing which points backward with pro-
voking stubbornness to the times Of which we
can obtain only glimmering knowledge. 1T
has been said' remarks Professor Jebb, that
the man Of genius sometimes is such In virtue
of combining the temperament distinctive OF ms
nation with some gift Of his own which Is foreign
to that temperament as in Shakespeare the
basis is English. and the individual gift fleXi-
bility Of spirit which is not normally English
But we cannot apply this remark to the greatest
Of ancient Greek writer's. They present GER
tainly wide range of individual differences
Yet distinctive and so potent Is the Hellenic
nature that If any two Of such writer's be com
pared however wide the individual differences
may be-as between Aristophanes and Plato, or
Pindar and Demosthenes-such individual dlt-
fercnces less significant than those common
characteristics Of the Hellenic mind which sep
arate both the men compared from all VINO
are not II"llcnes" As he studies the problem
he can think only of the geography oi Greece
as accounting for the Greek excellence" ana we
all know how inadequate geography Is in such
case. There is no clew to these secrets Of

Good Slang and Bad.

writer in the Contributors Club in the March
Atlantic draws a sensible distinction between
good slang and bad
The distinctive test of good slang from bad is
that it has real meaning. Bad slang has no
meaning; it is simply succession of sounds
which, because they come trippingly from the
tongue. impose on the ignorant imagination of
the nearer When the mathematical professor
silenced the fish-wife by calling her "scalene
triangle" a "paraelOpiped. and "hypothen-
llse" he used this weapon
As a rule the slang of the very low classes. the
thieves Latin. the argOt, the " flash language"
is not inexpensive. Not only is its meaning clear
enough to the initiated, but there is apt to be a
vigorous and picturesque felicity in its terms
when once their history is disclosed. For instance
tile word sOcdollager." once quite current, was
manifestly an uneducated mans tranSpOSitiOn of
.'dOXOlOger." which was the familiar New Eng
land rendering of "dOXOlOgy." This was the
Puritan term for the verse of ascriptiOn used at
the conclusion of every hymn, like the gloria" at
the end of chanted psalm. Everybody knew
the words of this by heart, and on dOctrinal
grounds it was proper for the whole congregation
to join in the singing, so that it became tri-
Umphant winding up of the whole act of worship.
Now 'sOcdOllager' was the term for anything
which left nothing else to follow, a knOck-dOwn
blow, a decisive, overwhelming finish, to which
no reply was possible
There is slang of great cities which owes its
whole life to senselesS repetition. It's phrases
are like the unSavory missiles caught up from the
gutter dead rats, old shoes. battered tins, which
street Arabs throw at one another. To this
order belong most party and national nicknames,
class appellatiOns and such slang may be deScrib-
ed as the quintessence of vulgarity. They have
their brief run in city. get place in the leaders
of a daily journal or two where they appear in
quotation marks. as pickpOcket in irons before
the court of police. and then disappear forever.
Snch terms as ''in the soup "boodle," the
bar'l,' fat-frying, etc, belong to the re-
cent unsavory imbecilities of politics.
Good slang is automatically expressive, and has
a narrow escape sometimes from being poetical.
An English traveller had a quarrel with the mate
of a Mississippi steamboat, and the case came
into court. The counsel for the plaintiff in his
opening address to the jury, thus stated his
cause of action: The first officer of the Bella
Richards addressed my client in most violent
and peremptOry terms, and threatened him that
if he did not Immediately remove his personal
effects from the entrance way of the steamer he
would precipitate him into the raging flood be-
low The evidence of the bystanders as to the
mates words was as follows: Look here stran-
ger if you don't tote your plumber off that gang

how long ago were they built, and who built
them, and how: Where did they get the stone.
how transport it, how put it in place: What
race of men carried out this work? Indeed we
may justly say with the poet: There are more
things in heaven and earth. HOratiO than are
dreamt of in YOIr philosophy"

The New York Sun explains the reason why
most of those engaged in the electric business
are young men, in the fact that the development
of electricity as factor in practical life came so
suddenly that electricians have not had time to
grow old. and many of the responsible men in
the telephone and electric lighting business are
yet below 40. Every problem presented by the
application of electricity to everyday life is now
the subject of study by a score of young men
trained in practical school, yet acquainted with
the latest discoveries in the theoretical science.

Words and Their Meaning.

A woman who has time to consider things OBJ
jects to the misapplication of quotations in COM
mon use. Familiar quotations, with whose pedi-
gree every one ought to be familiar, are wrenched
from their context and made to serve purposes
that their authors could never have sanctioned
For example. the glib assertion that THE pen
is mghtier than the sword " irrtates her beyond
measure. Bulwer never said it, never meant it.
What he did say was that in the hands of men
that were truly great the pen was mghtier than
the sword which is manifestly different state
ment.
Another quotation more frequently misllsed is
THE poor We always have with you.'' When
Jesus said this He was in fact sustaining what
His disciples regarded as reckless extravaganza.
When the woman broke the alabaster box of ONT
ment she was rebuked by the disciples, who con-
tended that it should have been sold and the mon
ey given to the poor. 1.-The poor We have always
with yOu.' said Jesus, meaning only that His
own stay was brief and the woman's extrava-
gance consequently warranted
An even more remarkabl example is the senti-
mental perversiOn of a sign set up between two
men to guard against each cheating the other
When Jacob and Laban came to divide their
goods in their natural distrust they set up pillar
calling God to witness if one should ever take
advantage of the other. Now lovers inscribe
tenderly in rings and friends on keepsakes,
.Nfizpah. The Lord watch between me and
thee while we are absent one from another" a
legend which really implies their mutual distrust

The Old Nine O'clock Bell.

In some of the New England towns and vii
lagos it is still customary to ring church or fac
tory bell at nine O'Clock at night, and no further
back than war times it was general practice in
cities of over 10000 people.
This custom perpetuates the courre fen, (cover

church bells were rung to notify the people that
it was time to bank the fires and put out the
lights.
There is strong New England element in
