kind to mar or hinder the quest for

Charles Dickens on his visit to this

doubtful il Dickens ever would have
written his charming descriptive let

country at sixty or more miles an

all present travellers are, a victim of
high speed. Not long ago the man
ayers CT the Great Cunard and White
Star lines discovered that numbers of
passengers were booking for the east
ward and westward runs across the
Atlantic on leisurely freight steamers.
The people simply wanted, as they
went for a trip. to see something, and
their action was a mild protest from
the much hauled about passengers
themselves. Almost unconsciously
rapid transit curtails personal comfort
as the ratio of speed attained rises, and
nowhere is it more apparent and con-

The Mix Was Too Rich

From the Minneapolis Times.
On one of the great stock farms rear
Galesburg. Mich, a pretty little Jerssey
calf has come to an untimely end in a
most unusual way. The beautiful lit~
.ue creature had been kept up for some'
time and it was thought advisable to let
it run about and amuse itself for an
hour or two. After it had enjoyed an
unusually hearty breakfast of rich
Jersey milk. it was turned loose. There
was great kicking and running for a
few minutes. and then suddenly the
calf keeled over and died When a
veterinarian sought to ascertain the
cause Of the valuable little animals
death he discovered that the violence
of its >gamboling had converted the
milk into butter and death from indi.
gestion had quickly ensued. 1t is also
evident-and no autopsy is needed tc
develop that fact-that they have som,

SEA TRAVEL OF ANCIENT TINES
COMPARED WITH THAT OF THESE DAYS

From the personal comfort points of
view. the ships of the long ago were
far superior for them that go down to
the sea than are the much lauded mar
yels Of the present day, wonderful as
they are for speed and large tonnage.
Archimedes. could not find a fulcrum
for his lever 10 move the world, but
he did construct a ship that IN its ap-
pointments, astonished the world that
moves then just as it does now. In
this ship the modern bay window under
the name of sponsor, numbers of them
being placed on each side above the
water line gave a delightful equable
temperature throughout the entire in
terror OF the ship. Call to mind a
modern floating palace that maintains
throughout the interior a delightful
equable temperature. Then on Archi-
medes' ship. quarter galleries in elab-
crately carved windows. made the after
cabins more comfortable than what
now are called observation houses on
the main deck of an up-to-date yacht.
Flower gardens that sent Vines curling
along stanchions and creeping along
the banlsters and around newell posts
to perfume the air tumbling in from
the sea gave the added charm Of re-
finement that is SO closely associated
with flowers.
Then rookeries were installed for
birds of every species DO you not
know that sailors take kindly to birds
lowering about the ship? They speak
of the old home in memory hallowed
by years Of wandering absence in dis
tant climes. There were hydraulic
pumps. and lifts for elevators and the
cataput for hurting stones at an
enemy. and last and least of all, lines
of row locks for slaves to toll at in
rowing when the wind failed. Thus IL
will be seen that the aim In olden
times was for personal comfort
Throughout.
To decide how much Archimeres'
ship was an improvement upon Noah's
Ark is only necessary to recall the i'm
lprovement. say Of the Lucania, over
that wonder of the time. the Great
Eastern. Tt takes a long time in archi-
lecture to break away from the habits
Of following old ideas. Preconceived
notions as to form and adaptability are
more nearly a matter of gain in the
present than in the past, and always
when gain rules. the artistic steps down

with them a corresponding amount of

ON outlawing all mongrel words and
phrases.
Occasionally a new word is added:
America has contributed in n larger
measure than England, yet it is a fact
that should be a warning to all inno-
vators. that many OF these words
which have crept into our dictionaries
and which have been deemed necessary,
have soon become obsolete. and have
been discarded. The use Of slang may
make for a certain sort of nuency. but
IL is a fuency that does not arise from
a wealth or profundity of ideas. The
most profound man is frequently the
least fluent. because he selects exact
words to represent exact ideas, and
therefore. the habit Of using exact and
recognized words cultivates correct
mental habits. The man who simply
talks. using whatever words and
phrases that come to his lips, invar-
iably has a loose habit of thought and
is erratic and unreliable.
Every little while reformers whose
weapon is an axe, begin to smash tra-
ditions. They tell us to "burn our
grammars' and "burn our spelling
books" the thought being to cultivate
lndividualities OF speech. Yet TO be
inteligible we must conform to rule,
since we can make ourselves under
stood only in the language OF our hear
ers. There are individualities in
speech and individualitles in spelling,
and slang comes as an adjunct OF these,
but If these vagaries of speech were
continued we should soon have a fam
lily Of dialects that would be annoying
and puzzling.
Slang may be amusing at times, but
the cheap display Of wit which is back
of it results in other crude manifes-
tations. 1t is shown in loud, and strik-
ing costumes. imitation jewelry and a
swagger that is only a pretense. Chaste
English, like decent wearing apparel,
should be insisted upon till correct
habit is formed. We should be. horri-
fed to hear our teachers using slang
in their class rooms, and yet If it is
correct for pupils, why isn't it for
their instructors?

AMOUR wIIMINGToN's wATrR

There seems to be question Just
now as to the wholesomeness Of VIII
mingtons water supply The labora-
tory Of the State Board of Health has
issued a bulletin in which our filtration
system is attacked. and the assertion
is made that the drinking water is of
a very poor quality, and that at times itI
is so turbid that it is difficult to see
through a glass filled with II. This
statement coming from such source
is likely to cause our citizens some
concern. and II further definite lmowl-
edge of the matter can be obtained it
should be done at once
The officials OF the Water Commits
sion. on the other hand. assert that the
filtration system was the very best
that was known when it was installed
a few years ago. and that there is no
reason why it should not perform eff
hcient service even yet The mortality
statistics show that typhoid fever is
no more prevalent than is usual at this
season. and there is no other epidemic
traceable to contamination. unless it be
a rather general complaint OF an in
testinal nature. Observation does not
bear out the statement that the water
is muddy. Except in rare instances it
is remarkably clear and no serious
fault can be found with it in this re-
spect. There should be no guesswork
about the matter; it is possible to
make a series Of tests which shall de-
termine absolutely the quality of the
water. Our citizens should be informed
OF its exact nature. and If It is danger
Gus. they should be warned. To an
ordinary observer there is no especial
danger. yet we cannot brush aside the
opinions of experts. Perhaps further
tests may reveal the innocuous char
acter OF the water. But in the mean
time. persons may avoid danger by
boiling it, thus destroying deadly bac-
terra.

NEWSPAPER OPINION
Bachelors IN Texas

DdCnelorS IN eSaS
From the Galveston Daily News.
While the men outnumber the women
the nation over. the figures relating
especially to Texas are even more re-
markable. There are in this State 210,-
2l2 bachelors and only 94,3l7 spinsters.
IL was Horace Greeley who said: 60
West, young man." IL is now in order
for some generous soul who is disposed
to encourage Cupid to take as text
for the old States: go West. young
woman Some of the hearts that have
been wrung because of the advice given
iby Mr.. Greeley may by the latter line
OF advice be restored to their normal
condition. and many beautiful ro-
mances thus end in hopeful family es-
tablishment.
There are too many bachelors in this
country. There is no doubt about that.
The cause that leads to this danger
should be sought out and disposed of
Isummarily. Public policy demands
that the bachelor should go--to the al
tar. If he cannot find any Texas cir
to marry him, let him go back to tn,
old State and plead with his first lov,
to forgive him, come West and max,
him happy.

THE USE OF SLANG

Professor Hall. president Of Clark
University, in a recent lecture to stu
dents Of the University Of Chicago,
vigorously defended the use Of slang,
holding that it aids the young people
in fluency and that it adds to the power
of the language to express ideas. There
is a tendency on the part Of educators
at times TO break away from the re-
straints Of custom and tradition, and
to utter startling sentiments which
perhaps contain a grain Of truth amid
the chaff of error. There is always q
chafng at the restraint imposed by con
ventionality. yet it is this uniformity
within certain limits which makes lif,
tolerable and avoids constant friction
That which makes the language a me
dium for the accurate conveyance o
our ideas is a complete understanding
of the meaning of certain words. II Il
for this reason that intercommunica
ton is possible and pleasurable. Thl
English language has been zealousl,
safeguarded, and has been kept reason
ably pure by those who have insiste,

WILL ENLARGE RHARVES
MaIlsabIe Iron COMPANY Preparing for
Thai Work

The old stable on the property ad-
joining the Malleable Iron Company's s
wharf on the Brandywine is
being torn down. IL was ru-
mored yesterday that the iron COM
pany had purchased the property and
that il intended to build an addition to
its wharf there. This would discredit
the report that the company intended
to close its plant, and move to some
other city.
When the manager was called ON this
morning he could not be seen to verify
the report.
