TheIr xmportanee-The Labor Our Lam
Ruage Has Cost.
In view of the prodigious impor-
lance of words and the wealth Of self
explanation which they carry along
with them, bygone scholars, and even
some now among us, have not thought
1t a waste OF time TO give whole ex-
istence to the profound study Of them,
as to accent, sound and inner mean
ing. Some of the old commentators
will bestow twenty pages of closely
written Latin or Greek upon a single
particle. Nay, those earnest book
worms and transcribers who have
given us our written speech
In such perfection carried their
deep reverence for absolute cor.
rectness in language beyond long
words and short words into the letters
themselves and their formation. Not
without profound lessons for careless
speakers, writer's and students is that
legend OF the Talmudical times, re-
lating how the small letter "yod" being
one day badly put upon the parchment
raised itself up and "cried aloud to
God"
A word is really one OF the most
wonderful things of mans creation,
and deserves to be respected, properly
understood and carefully employed
and pronounced. 1t may often hide
within It's noble moving histories,
though lightly used, just as the
clod which the plowman turns
may conceal treasure. Take,
for instance, the term "colophon,"
which printers apply to the close of a
printed volume. Which of them asks
why it should mean "the end" or re-
calls the fact that Colophon was that
one of the twelve Ionian confederate
cities which furnished cavalry to the
league, and these horsemen were SC
good and valiant that they always fin
ished off battle VIGOROUSLY, so that
ito come to Colophon" was to put the
last touch to business? II is greatly
to be desired that in the course Of their
teaching public and private instructors
everywhere would give themselves more
pains to explain and elicit for theiI
students the inner history and force Of
words. Few, indeed, there are in any
language which will not yield up to pa
tient and enlightened analysis some
Illuminating record of how they came
upon the tongues of men. Some are
as ancient as the first sound that was
babbled by child to its mother; some
have whole histories in them; some are
new, ugly and incorrect, and, like
scientist" authoritarian" and "elec
trocution," vex the scholarly ear will
their base construction. Possibly the
new school of English literature a
Oxford may effect something to revive
and encourage the declining study o
words. 1t is only the ignorant ant
the foolish who think that it natter
little how we deal in speech and scrip
with these coins Of the mind.-Londol

HEREDITARY TENDENCIES.
One Phase In tho Development OF Human
Ghapartar


One Phase In tho Development OF Human
Character.
Some insane instincts, as a matter Of
fact do exist among us, revealing
their destructive fcrocity in q thou.
sand forms of suffering, sin, shame
and temptation. Not q living soul has
entirely escaped some injury, heredi-
tary or immediate, direct or indirect,
from their lordships Yet we are in
structed to retard them as scarcely
modifiable factors of existence. They
recall to memory the fabulous mon
sters of ancient story, who used to raw
age and destroy whatever crossed their
path, carrying terror to the hearts of
men, until at length no hero went
forth to slay them.
The monsters Of to-day, unhappily,
do not permit themselves to be slain
too easily. They spit fire, as of yore;
they rend and pierce and tear, but
they are no longer to be overcome in
one sharp struggle, after the fashion
of their more worthy ancestors. 1t is

itary that the evil gathers such un-
holy strength. 1t seems as II nature
had some mystic storehouse wherein
she garnered secretly, moment by mo-
ment, the thousand influences of daily
life; the lurings and compulsions Of
circumstances; and that these, accumu-
lating silently and inexorably, became
transmitted into living passions, i'm
perious needs, which we are won't to
call natural impulses" and to accept
in the same resigned spirit as that in
which the Germans welcome typhoid
fever as part of the divine scheme.
There is something appalling in the
knowledge that because mans grand
father allowed evil habits togrow upon
him, that man is to be cursed all his
life with some awful punishment; tor
mented, perhaps, with a strength of
mere crude instinct entirely out of har-
mony with his whole character, caus-
ing him infinite struggles, unless the
worse thing happen-again through
the existence OF some hereditary weak
ness--and he surrenders the human
side of him to the encroachments OF
the nimal.-Westminster Review.

Gifts to infants on their baptism are
of ancient origin. Formerly the spon.

the child. These spoons were called
apostle spoons, because the twelve
apostles were carved at the top of the
handles. Rich sponsors gave the com.
plete set Of twelve, while for those
who were not so opulent four was con.
sidered the proper number, and poor
sponsors would content themselves
with offering one;in the latter case the
