ODD TRADE WORDS.
Each Business Has Some to Which It
 Lays Exclusive Claim.

The belief exists in certain pedaptic circles that the English language was not made for man but man for the English language. There is no doubt about the value and beauty of the mother tongue and the care whicl. should be given to it. but. after all, q language belongs to the people. and they should be allowed. within discreet limits. to make use of their own as they please. Bad grammar is outside the question; the point is how far good English words of pure lineage shall be turned out of the straight and narrow path of their ancestors to do special duty for the modern world. In this case what are discreet limits? The spirit of America, whatever It's noble qualities. has not developed reverence to an undue extent and has no inten- ton of using a word in a certain sense merely because that is the way in which it has been used for 400 years. The result is some curious specimens of alleged English. many of them dis tinctly beyond charity.
 The determination Of commercial men to adapt an ancient tongue to modern uses Is consistently evident, and there is much to be said for the emnently expressive dictinn of cont mcrcial papers, Some or the words eni- ployed may he surprised to find them selves descended to such base uses but they prove their adaptability by giv- ing a certain racy appositeness to the sentence. One reads in the market rcws of large orders for "spots" and futures with a little bewilderment
 untiF further on reference is made tn spot tomatoes and future peaches.;' whereupon the former phrase becomes clear and even picturesque.
 "Oriental spirited" reads a line in another paper which Is not giving in- formation in regard to uprisings in In- dia. but is endeavoring toz convey the fact that oriental rugs are in demand. Sole leather is referred to as becoming mellow an adjective not without at- tractiveness in that connection. < mellow" shoe is a pleasing concep- ton. In yet another journal is the startling line, Considerable Excite ment in Baked Beans." which reminds one of the advertisement of an enter prising dealer in household furnish- tugs: "A flutter in brass hcdsteadsi. !. A. new item which appeared strongly to lively ina agination reads: Last week thsre was a slump in watermei- ons which greatly alarmed dealers. They got out itl time" Who would not retire from the neighborhood of 'slumping" watermclons with the greatest expedition? In buying peaches you may have. if you wish. "No. {, peeled pie" or "unpeeled pie" .'
 Sometimes the language of these re- rorts seem1 arbitrarily complicated. as when it is stated that Sugar Is steady for raw" Tea may be 'pura high grown. bright outurn." or "heavy bodied,'' or the kind which produces "a liquor robust and rosy, sirupy ani juicy" There is something singularly unpleasant about tho Idea of rosy tea tc the average mind. but the ad- lective hes apparently -one weight with the initiated.

 The committee on canons has taken in this proposition what is regarded as middle ground in the movement against a lax conception of the sanctity of the marriage relation Among Roman Catholics it is regarded as a step toward the position of their church that marriage Is indlssoluble. A middle view is that expressed by the Outlook" that the church has right to say that if the marriage has turned out so unfortunately as to be unbear- able, the experiment shall not be tried again. certainly with its sanction. The opponents of the canon declare that they punish the innocent and add no terror to the guilty" The rank outside view Is that of a free thought journal which intimates that men and women will go on marrying by civil ceremony, whether the church smiles or frowns. or. as it puts it, ''The eternal feminine will not be baked by so small a thing as a. general confer ence composed of mere men,"

 There is such a determined opposition by eastern farmers and their represen- tatives to any scheme looking to the irrigation of the public lands by the government that in overcoming it one must have the persistency of Sisyphus and the strength of Hercules. I shall be fully prepared to meet all corners. as far as the argument Is concerned, but the best argument and fullest dis pay of virtuous facts don't always get the votes in that multitudinous body. However, we will hope and work. Mir.

My great interest may cause the fear I feel; ] hope that is the case Any way. you know I will make it the para mount question with me, and if l fail. I shall have no cause to blame myself

MT. Borden has put the Fall River manufacturers stili deeper into the hole they dug for themselves when they based their refusal to raise wages upon the alleged weakness of the market He has offered to buy all the print cloths in sight at an advance over his offer of last week, and thereby fixed the market price at three cents a yard The manufacturers who were conspir- ing two weeks ago to force a strike do not want one now, but it goes against their grain to give up any part of their profit to the operatives. and their con tinued refusal to advance wages is likely to cost them more than Mir. Bor- den has offered them for their alleged oyerproduction of goods.

LITERARY NOTES

"The Outcasts' by W. A. Fraser Published by Charles schibner's Sons. New York. Price SIPS.
 If based on the supply. the demand for stories of animal life must certain ly be increasing. and the taste Is d decidedly healthy one. Mir. w. A. Fraser is already favorab.y known as a writer of this class of fiction. his 'Mooswa" having bsen very favorably received. His new book ''The Out casts is a very delightful little work. It describes the wanderings of "Shag, ' an old bull buffalo. and "A. Tim" a dog-wof. The author has been re- markedly successful in bringing forth the chief characteristics of each ani- mal and has clothed each with an all most human Individuality. The book is-of course-excellently printed and contains many charming illustrations.
 Blue Grass and Rhododendron" by John Fox. Jr. Published by Charles Scribner's Sons. New York. Price sI.75.
 Stories and sketches of southern life are by no means so good as they are plentiful. Some. of course. are of the best possible kind. but the majority are. noted merely for their refine ment." a refinement so excessive that the plot is often so ghostlike as to be almost indis;inguishab ble. In his latest book Mfr Fox has successfully avoided the distinction of belonging to eithzr of the above classes. His sketches are fresh, strongly local in flavor and pro- fusely illustrated. but their "raison d'etre" is not very apparent in these days of excellent books. And if one canno. write really good book it is hot far- fZ in the least necessary.

EXPECTING TOO MUCH.

Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed" These words, which constitute what Pope calls the eighth beautitude. have a special significance just now when the American republic is expecting so much of it's new president IL is Ten nyson who speaks of that fierce light which beats upon a throne" There is 2 fierce light beating upon the presi- dential chair just now. Every wor1 and act of President Roosevelt is being studied. as it were. under an Y ray searchlight. by people eager to an ticipate his moral and mental attitud toward every nation. Everything ne does will b. regarded as prophetic of what is to come during his administrs- ton. A simple word of his is likely to be amplifed into full fiedged policy; if he takes but a step in any direction the eager public will attempt to carry him to great length along the same line. There is the most urgent nes1 that President Roosevelt should act as his own severest censor just at this time. It might prove to be an act of the deepest kindness if some of his cin- cere friends were to quote to him the words of that nursery jingle:
 ''If you your lips would keep from slips Five things observe with care;
 Of whom you speak. to whom yoa
 speak,
 And how and when and where"
 In his speech and manner and hab- it's. and in his style of dress. the presi- dent may well be unusually circum- spect for q while until the public is quite reassursd that the new head oi the nation isn't going to do anything that is not perfectly normal and cou- ventional. In the meantime the wise man will not expect too much Of tn. president. who is but a plain huma being, after all, possessing an individl- ality more strongly marked by per sonal traits than Is that Of the average moTtal-Boston Herald.

The largely attended and enthusiastic

tne dlleiiOtl anu convention of the Protestant Episcopal
 church which is now in THE session in San Francis GREAT co, and the great inter CHURCH est of the public in the CON proceedings, furnish one VENTON. of the many proofs at
 hand that religious sen timent is by no means losing strength. however much beliefs may become modified by disappearance of some of the former tenets of orthodoxy. This congress on the Pacific coast is also a reminder to our western people that great denomination which heretofore has found its principal strength in the east is in a fiourishing condition throughout the country.
 Among bodies of Christians in this country the Protestant Episcopalians stand ninth, their total reported mem bership by the church census of 1900 being 710,356, or an indicated healthy growth for the decade of 17s.3Oe. Their general convention will, however, rank with the Presbyterian general assem- bly which met in Philadelphia in June. as one of the two most important church gatherings of the year. In the country throughout its history it has been able to enlist the interest and se- cure the attendance at it's general con- ventiors of some of the greatest of laymen; the rosters of these triennial gatherings are rich in names that have enriched the secular life of their gener- ation. For the very reason that this denomination assemblies its hosts but once in three years, its deliberations have an importance they might lack if annually held.
 One of the propositions receiving much attention at San Francisco touches the fundamental question of marriage and divorce. There has been a lively agitation for a more stringent attitude toward, divorce within this church for about the same period that there has been a formal agitation among the followers of Calvin for re- definition of the Westminster confes- sion- It is promised that the Episco- palians will go as fa- in this congress toward taking new ground on mar rage anu as l4le I-Te5Dy did on predestination and infant dam nation. Their committee created at the last convention has made a report that is as conservative and yet as progressive as the report on creed re- vision in the sister communion: it is just likely to receive acceptance from the convention. In a word the proposed new canons on marriage and divorce, which are to be passed upon at San Francisco, will withdraw the privi- lege of church solemnization from the innocent party to a divorce suit who seeks to marry again. The church will recognize the validity of such a mar riage, and will not make the person who contracts it subject to discipline or discrimina ton; it simply declines to enter the ceremony at all.

On December 10. the Swedish ex- plorer. Harry de Windt. will again start to travel overland from Asia to America by way of Behrins strait. this being his third attempt. On the first occasion. starting from New York, he managed to reach the As!atic coast of the strait. but owing to his capture and subsequent i'll treatment by Koari, the Tchuktchi chief, he narrowly escaped with his life and had to return. Last year he again attempted the journey in the reverse direction. but owing to the political situation in China and on the Amur, Count Lamsdcrff refused to allow him to cross Siberia, and again Mir. De Windt had to relinquish the idea. Now, however, MT.
