Custom Influences Language.

PomOlogists, like botanlsts, find it
impossible to enforce the rules Of
priority in names Of fruits and dow.
ers. In fruits the names Of Bartlett
for a pear and Telegraph for a grape
have not been changed in spite of the
efforts of leading pomologists and po-
mologlcal societies to support prior
names. Those who lead in these good
efforts forget that the only law for
language is the law of custom. In a
famous grammar we are told "the
English language requires the pro.
noun 1T for all inanimate objects, but
custom had SO firmly made the sun a

accept It," Thus 1t will ever be. 70

lortirr Tho car CcmpnnY.

It is an axiom with street railroad
men that people are willing to go to
surprising amount OF trouble to
beat the company out of the elusive
nickel. A little old woman board
ed northbound Columbus avenue car
at Beaver street, the other day. She
looked like a woman in comfortable
circumstances, and, naturally enough,
the few passengers on the car were
very much surprised when she began
to argue with the conductor about pay
ing her fare.
"I haven't got a cent, and must get
to 10Sth street somehow" said the lit
tie old lady.
PAY or get off," replied the conduc-
tor.
But" demonstrated the woman,
you wouldn't put an old person like
me off the car, would you? If | had
the money I'd give it to you, but
haven't a cent, and want to go to see
my sick sister"
Come, now" the conductor inter
rupted Its either pay or get off"
BY this time the car had gone three
blocks, and the passengers were begin
ming to grow interested. Still the little
old lady temporized, and still the car
sped along. Finally the conductors
patience gave out, and, ringing the bell
savagely he stopped the car and made
the woman get out. Then it was that
she revealed her little scheme.
"Goodby, Mr.. Conductor" she said,
pleasantly, "and I'm very much obliged
to you for the ride. I'm going to keep
getting ON and off cars till get to Har-
lem. Cheap, amt it?'
Looking back the passengers saw the
old lady hail the next car and climb
aboard. The conductor frowned, and
then he smiled.
What do you think of that" he
said.
