nate official by the operations Of the
mint, akin to the old clipping and de-
basing tricks of the Stuart kings. At
Nanking, which is the city Of another
viceregal administration, there was
delightful arrangement. Until recent
ly the Marking mint was entirely in
the hands of natives, and in order to
increase and equalize the squeeze as
much as possible the master refused
TO order any improved machines, and
by adhering to the old principle Of
hand labor the amount allowed for
wages out of the provincial exchequer
was kept at it's original figure, For
stamping the copper cash" which is
the current small coin of China, none
but the simplest appliances were used.
The metal was put under n punch
worked by a strap, and to every strap
there was a workman.
Unfortunately, i'm order to make up
the official salary, it was fond impos.
slble to engage more than quarter
of the m i returned as employed in
milling, so that when the annual in.
spection by a hlgh-placed mandarin
took place it was necessary to search
out some of the coolies of tie district
in order to make a decent show. At
the exact moment when the mandarin
entered every coolie pulled his strap,
and all the copper was instantaneously
stamped. TO look at the output would
have been beneath the dignity of the
inspector. so he went away happy, the
pay was drawn, and it was only the
coin that suffered from being punched
in so many unaccustomed spots There
is now an English assayer as "boss,"
and this gentleman has to be on his
guard against the perverted ingenuity
with which the coins are llghtened
and adulterated. AS with Marking,
so with other provincial eXchequers.
The coinage of China is a magnificent
perquisite Of the mandarins, against
the loss of which they would struggle
with far greater obstinacy than
against the loss of the dynasty.

GROWTH OF LANGUAGE.
Words Once TabOOed Are Likely to

Words Once TabOOed Are Likely to
BECOME Suddenly Popular.
From the New York Commercial Advertiser.
Language is being made SO fast In these
days that it is unsafe for purists to for
mulate lists of words that are unfit for
polite use A writer in the London Acad-
envy contends that many words rejected
of the purists really rough-hewn stones
that are necessary to fill crevices in the
language. and that the critic who would
exclude them is ignorant OF his calling.
William Cullen Bryant's long list, publish
ed many years ago and widely consulted
ever since. the Academy critic objects to as
bag filled with bones of contention and
liable to rattle whenever 1t is touched
The difficulty seems to be that while
any reputable list of this kind is pretty
sure to be authoritative in part, evidence
OF use OF forbidden words by some great
author or some author of growing fame
Is likely to crop up at any time and put
the seal Of responsibility upon any mongrel
word that one has been accustomed to
point the finger of scorn at. If you find
Swift. Gray Or some other master employ
ing word that some pfcayune carper for
verbal precision is trying to ostracise, YOU
feel like associating with that word. Be
sides, some of these rude but healthy
onshoots of the language are doing special
duty. and after proving their fitness for it
will be just fit for good verbal society
as the rest.
What Is the difference between an officer
and an official? Official Is nothing better
than a lame cur of word in the estima-
ton of some people but we are told now
that 1t Is perfectly proper; that it has its
place. is. in fact the square peg for the
square hole. An officer is a man of rec
ognized badges and known duties; an off
ciai' Is a man of more disguised and in
definite power. The work Of society, the
subdivision of labor. has been making this
distinction while you. in your ignorance,
didn't know what was going on. An of
f1cer appears on parade ground or on
deck In uniform; an Official comes forth
from quiet office. wearing a frock coat
and top hat. and he can make you feel he
is an official If you run up against that
reserve power of which you see no outward
manifestation in spurs or gold lace Gen.
Miles Is an Officer" John r. Rockefeller
Is an official" Verbal purists should keep
in mind the constant manufacture of dis
tinctions that Is going on.
