and general prosperity. An East Indian
fisherman Will. If necessary, play some
rude practical Joke upon his neighbors so
as to bring down a shower of bad LAM
guage. Then he will launch his boat, con-
fident of big catch. To the credit of
Scottish piety, the Scotch fishermen on
the other hand, have great horror of
profanity when they are ON the water.
If some stranger swears, every fisherman
who hears him will grasp the nearest
piece of iron and yell "Cauld airn!" hop
Ing thus to avoid the omen.
At marriages among some East Indian
tribes, you cannot make the proud parents
prouder or the happy couple happier than
by discharging all the bad language you
can think of. The wealth of curses is be-
ieved to bring a wealth of blessings
Sometimes when the crops are looking
bad, the villagers will throw filth at the
most serpent-to6thed old shrew in the
place. and then listen, entranced and full
of good hope, while she emits cataracts
Of abuse Among these simple folks,
swearing is distinct business operation
They don't swear for the pleasure of it.
but for the profit which they expect from
It, They swear for dividends. The mob of
imperfectly civilized persons who swear
with ease defile the ear without any hope
of remuneration. Swearing should be re-
jected as surplusage If for no other rea-
son.
The modern stage is rich in ''damns."
Perhaps these should be regarded as con-
ventional and harmless. Perhaps play
wrights regard a play without a damn"
as a play lost, and that expetive as a
sort of talisman. Miss Julia Marlowe is
said to have extruded the word from a
play that was written or scissored for
her. She must have broken the author
heart. for the present generation of writ
ers for the stage seems to be as pro-
foundly convinced of the saving grace of
damn" as some of the earlier writer's
were of the indispensability of the unities,
For our part we must say that we don
pine for swearing, on the stage or OF.
For one thing, it is too easy.
Still, IL a man must swear, let him
swear and be done with il. The suhsti-
tutes wherewith a. timorous conscience
salves itself. smack of cowardice. Gosh

whole brood of sneaks-away with them!
If your communications canot be yea, yea
and nay, nay, If you must swear do 1t
as though you meant 1t.
There are innocent swearers such as
children and Foreigners, who naturally
pick up the common words first. Then
there were, a couple of generations ago,
certain of the New England Transcend
entalists and reformers, who held that
swearing was matter of indifference
morally and the Commandment against
taking the name of the Lord in vain a
mere obiter dictum. 1t is said that some
of these philosophers, men habltuaiy clean
of speech, felt called upon to swear IN
public for the purpose of rebuktng the
error which held that swearing was
wrong; and that they used to sit In front
of their house of a Sunday morning and
TRANQUILITY belch forth appalling oaths to
the amazement and horror OF their Or
thodox townsmen. But perhaps this Is
fable of superstition.

From the London Telegraph

from the LONDON lele5Tdpu,
According to a Gooie correspondent, a
discovery of great interest has been made
i'm the village of Luddington, which Mes
near the bank of the Trent, fourteen
mics from that town. An old cottage,
dating from the beginning of the eight
eenth century, which was for many years
used as a roadside inn, but had latterly
been occupied by a laborer, was some
months ago pulled down by the owner,
Mr.. r. BeFton OF Amcotts. While the
workmen were removing an old cup
board four spade guineas were found.
and further investigation revealed am
other four, also In a good state of pres
ervation. Nothing more was found, and
the incident was almost forgotten.
On Friday afternoon little girl, May
Stowe, was playing ball with a com
panion, and threw II backward. with the
exclamation, ITS lucky to throw over
your head" The ball ailghted in the
garden which formed the side OF the
old cottage. Getting over the fence to
fetch 1t, the child spied a guinea lying
on the ground The number was in
creased TO eight, and then, the news
spreading. several men were soon on the
scene turning up the ground. Eventually
between forty and fifty of the coins wer@
found, all In excellent state. Most OF
them belong to the reign OF George III,
bearing the dates 177i and 1775, and
few belong TO the previous reign.
Local collectors made q good haul, but
their triumph was shortlived, for police
superintendent arrived early on Satur-
day with the owner, Mr.. Bolton, claiming
possession of the coins for the Crown
as treasure-trove.

PSYCHOLOGY OF SWEARING,
The Causes of Profanity In Various
PeOpIe.
From the New York Sun.


From the New York Sun.
The Psychological Review has been
studying the psychology of profanity
Why do people swear? The psychologist
AYERS that "as regards the subjective
effects of profanity, the most striking
from painful Stress But the persons
who swear with the volume and hearth
ness OF Squire Western or the army in
Flanders, swear habitually. They don't
swear to relieve pain and obtain plea
sure, but from sheer habit. There are
men, and altogether too many of them,
whose oaths the Recording Angel Will
not drop a tear on. They swear in public
places loudly, volubly and almost con-
stantly. We must believe that their vo-
cabulary is limited. There may be mo-
ments of strong excitement when pro-
family may be regarded as excisabIe and
almost necessary. But to swear as George
Washington swore is one thing; to swear
as Whitechapel does Is altogether another.
There are rude frontier geniuses In whose
fervent and reverberant paths some orig
inality and even poetry may be detected.
The common, tedious, vulgar and vul-
garizing profanity Of the city streets has
nothing in 1t but disgust. The common
objurator Is not merely a nuisance he
Is a bore.
The world Is growing ceaner-mouthed
as literature shows. There Is much too
much of nauseating profanity still, but
decent people don't rip out strange oaths
as their ancestors used to. Habitlal pro-
family fixes a mans status. The onus
lies on him to prove that aside from this
vice he Is OF sound instincts. Some boys
swear under the impression that they are
showing a robust and manly spirit, but
habitual swearing Is really a mark OF
weakness. True some steady fellows have
been notable cursers. We should hardly
care for pirate, for example. II he didn't
wear earrings and have a full set OF the
most horrendous oaths. IL Is his business
TO make our blood run cold, and we have
the right TO insist that he give US our
moneys worth Of curdling. But tame
citizens in ordinary civil coat and trous-
ers are not called upon to riot In exple-
tives, and the English Navy Sun -four
lshes although II is we believe. no longer

everybody elses eyes. If a man ate red
peppers habitually. they would soon taste
fiat to him. So the common swearer can
have no satisfaction, no feeling of re-
lief from a painful stress" lie gets no
enjoyment out Of his oaths and they Of
fend persons OF delicate mind.
The world has heard swearing which
was vain indeed. but Of distinct al-
though mistaken economic purpose. As
the Greek sower scattered his cummin.

ness Of which was supposed 70 insure
