NEW WORDS NEEDED.
English Demand For Such Combinations
as "Killmentn and sIovist.s

English Demand For Such Combinationa
rs ':Killment" and 'Lovist."
There is one thing that has not yet
been treated by the universal i'm
prover-that pest who tries to set every
thing right-and that is our English
language. None but foreigners have as
yet had cause to complain of it, every
Britisher seems to DO satisfied with it
except me.
Now, why aren't there more words!
We have something like $50, 200, but
that is not enough, and we often expe.
rience difficulties on this account.
For instance. when a bus topples
over in the street the newspapers boom
out with long winded headings about
"the falling over of bus" collapse
of a bus,' or "the oyerturning of a
bus" etc. But these are more or less
clumsy. Clearly it's the word cover
turnsion" that is wanted "The over
turnsion of bus" hits the situation
perfectly.
Then, again, if you want to say that
a hundred Gordon highlanders were an
initiated by an Arab tribe you could
considerably shorten your sentence by
the concise expression, ''Arab killment
of 100 Gordon highlanders.
Thousands of colloquialisms could be
modified i'll similar way. The awk-
ward word photograph could be changed
to "fotofy,'' puncture to punk" Gig
arctic to ''cigette." situation to "si-
ton" Or Fsitment," and so on.
In more sentimental matters new
words would be decided boon. A man
somehow can't help blushing when he
calls the woman Of his heart "sweet-
heart clover" or intended" They
are ugly words. 'My girl,'' of course,
is low, and ''fancee'' is avoided because
1t cannot be pronounced properly.
"Lovist, " "spilcer" or thatcher" are
infinitely more tasteful and convey the
proper neutrality-suspicious. Answers.

Theodore F. Seward, the organizer

story of little boy who had reached
the multiplication table in the course of
his education. One night he was sitting
anxiously over paper of figures, when
his mother came along and said, "John-

Human Freedom.

For the whole of the enormous adj
vance in the condition of the laboring
man the basis was laid, once for all, by
the gospel. This was, in its original
form and in its continuing purpose, the
charter OF human freedom, and the two
modes by which it most conspicuously
asserted itself in the arduous process of
social regeneration We're first the grad
ual elevation of woman and next the
mitigation and eventual abolition of
slavery.

LOVED LIFE TOO WELL.
Ancient Natehez Indian Who Rebelled
Against Being Sacrificed.

]ASaAAoo oCAAS s5sfCEiuCcus
One Of the repulsive features of the
laws under which the Natchez Indians
were governed was that when MEM
Der Of the royal family of the nation
died it was necessary that several others
of the people should accompany him to
the tomb by suffering death at the
hands Of executioners. When the
"great sum- the hereditary chief Of
the whole nation, died, all his wives,
in case he were provided with more
than one, and also several of his sub
jects, were obliged to follow him into
the vale of shadows. The "little suns, I"
secondary chiefs, and also members of
the royal family, likewise claimed,
when dying, their tribute of death from
the living. In addition to this the in
eAorable law also condemned to death
any man. Of the Natchez race who had
married girl of the royal line Of the
'suns." On the occasion of her death
he was called upon to accompany her.
81 will narrate to you upon this sub
ject," writes an old French chronicler
of Louisiana, "the story of an Indian
who was not in a humor to submit to
this law. His name was Etteacteal. He
had contracted an alliance with the
suns The honor came near having a
fatal result for him. His wife fell sick,
and as soon as he perceived that she
was approaching her end he took to
flight, embarking in a pirogue on the
Mississippi, and sought refuge in New
Orleans. He placed himself under the
protection Of the governor, who was at
that time M. de Bienville, offering him
self to be the governors hunter. The
governor accepted his services, and in
terested himself in his behalf with the
Natchez, who declared, in answer, that
he had nothing to fear, inasmuch as the
ceremony was over, and as he had not
been present when it took place he was
no longer available as candidate for
execution. New Orleans Picayune

Fame Kept Alive by Flowers.

In St. Nicholas there Is an article on
'Flower Names" written by Ella F.
Mosby. The author says:
Some Of the roses have French his
toric names, as the Souvenir de Malmai-
son, and the splendid Jacqueminot, the
soldier
Who shared in Napoleon's glory,
And dreamed that his sword had won his
fame!
All, the fate of man is past discerningl
Little did Jacqueminot suppose
At Austerlitz or at Moscow's burning
That his fame would rest in the heart Of q
rose!
What could be lovelier indeed than
to have ones memory kept alive by a
flower, as has been the fortune of the
botanists Fuchs, Kahn, L'Obel, Dahl
and Magnol, who would have been for
gotten long ago but for the fuchsia and
kalnlia, the lobelia, dahlia and magno-
liza Of our gardens and forests.
