CANT Phrases.

There are some things We don't IKE s te Sea-"
While the temptation to use slang
phrases is at times irresistible, and
may possibly be sometimes justified
by circumstances, there can be no
toubt but they detract from the
reputation for good taste of the person
using them. The English vernacular,
made up as it is of so much of tie
best in ancient and modern languages,
is one OF the most expressive tongues
spoken on earth, and there seems to
be no reason why, with ordinary COM
mand OF vocabulary, the proper word
nigh. not be selected to express the
true shade of meaning, without much
difficulty. The fact is, we fall into
slip-shod manner of speech, just as we
tlo into lubberly style of walking,
and often a resort is had to slang
merely to avoid . moments thought
10 select the proper word.
A prominent educator, the other
day used the word kids, as applied to
children, and fell hundred per cent.
in the estimation of the writer, as one
qualified for life-mission that should
possess for its chief characteristic, a
regard for good taste. Upon inquiry, it
was ascertained that the word was in
constant use by the pupils of our pub
lie schools, and although Webster au-
thorizes its use, in secondary sense
to apply to childhood, it is never so
used by the best educated people, and
does not appear in literary compost
tion except when used in the vernacu-
lar OF the lower classes of society.
Another habit that has grown up in
late years is the use by the smaller
boys, of the surname of their compan-
ions. Instead of the old-time greeting
of Hello Jamesw or "How are you,
John?" it is Hello Brownp and
How dye do, Jones?" This aping
OF the custom Of grown people is an
abnormal growth, and not in good
taste. Children should use the given
rame in addressing their companions,
Invariably, and if there is need of more
definiteness the full name may be used.
ii there are severalin the same family,
there is an imperative necessity of u.s.
