THERE are a great many amoi-
tious young men IN our city who
think they would like to become
politicians. Our advice to them is
for them to let politics alone and
they will be happier and have more
peace OF mind. They should be
sure to vote aud lend what influence
they have for the party of their
choice, but not be known as politl-
clans. From the crop of politicians
down our State, our advice will no
doubt not be very favorably receive
ed. as not to talk politics and run
for Office would leave them nothing
to do Since Mr.. Addicks' advent
into Delawa are politics, the crop has
been larger than at any other time
in its history. In fact some men
down our State devote the greater
part Of their time 10 looking over
the ground and see where the most
good can be done that will bring
them the greatest reward. Its an
old saying that "while the lamp
holds out to burn, the vilest sinner
may return.

will be innumerabld bills offered

SECRET LANGUAGE,
The Jarson That Children Make Up
to Convey Their Momentous se-
crets Among Themselves,

4M
The secret language period is a thing
OF child nature. There are three dis
tinct periods in language learning by
the child. The first is the acquiring o.
the mother tongue. The second period
comes shortly after the time of begin.
ming to learn the mother tongue, and is
g language made up by children who,
perhaps, find themselves unable to mas.
ter the mother tongue. Very few chill
dren have a complete language of this
kind, but oil children have a few words
of such. Then comes the secret Ian
guage period. Although in a very few
cases the learning of secret languages
began about the sixth year, and in some
instances the period ran till after the
eighteenth year, yet the vast majority
Of cases are covered by the period be-
tween the eighth and the fifteenth year,
while the greatest use is between the
tenth and the thirteenth year.
There are many reasons why children
learn and use these languages. One
lady confesses that she originated Ian
guage, and introduced it into a mys-
FERROUS set of ten, in order to write
notes in school; and she truly adds that
had their teachers discovered the KEY,
they would have learned many truths.
1t can never be known whether these
languages originated in the very first
cases with children. The m would
l n many instances imply that children
had to do with them, as they show
things familiar to the child and loved
by him. So in the secret languages, we
ind animals playing an important part
In the naming. The hog, dog, goose,
pigeon, pig, fly, cat and other animals
are attached to these languages. The
child in the old-fashioned school, where
all sat together, hearing the Ito him)
senseless and unknown Latin, would
naturally attach the name to his lam
guage, and thus give birth to Hog Latin,
Goose Latin, etc. Seeing or hearing a
language, Il letter may strike the
chald's fancy, as in one the letter b is
hash" and SO Hash language is the
result. In another dub" (b) finds the
funny spot in child nature, and SO Bub
talk comes forth. The child in former
days, SO frequently hearing of the alb
c's, would, upon the construction of an
alphabet language, at once recur to
such, and so name this the A-Bub-Cin-
bud language.-oscar Chrisman, In
