tress they are so constantly trotted out by admiring reviewers of indecent nov els. You cannot call them manly so they are called virile Lately, in literary journal, I read that something "arrided" somebody. The context showed that the writer Ga lady, no doubt) thought that to 'arride' meant. to irritate, eXasperate, or Gas the ialf reviewer would probably put it to az eravate" And this was in journal de- voted to belles letters! Perhaps laaS was not the sinner; it was a male au- thor who wrote about furnishing It, tie data"
 Of course. the diffusion of educatloh' is the cause of these horrors EVefy- body can write, and many have never read anything written in good Engllsh' The study of few of the works or DeaI Swift and abstention from epheIlerai rubbish might check the rapid corrup- ton of English. If that large lncreas- | ing and respectable majority WhlcM does not know Latin would wholly ao- stain from the use of Latin Words anu of unfamiliar words of Latin origin like ''arride," something would be gain | ed. The phrase This bona ftdes are un- inopeachable" would not paralyze the reader "A glance at" the French dlc' tionary would banish bete notr, chap erone and a l'outrance.
 But the worst of these is happen ings," Can we not say events" ''oc- currences," ''experiences" or anything except happening" On the nack ol new novel Is blazoned The Happeh- ings of Elizabeth" or of some other heroine; about her name l am uncer- tain. Happenings" is as bad as be long with" belong there, belong on the upper shelf" all the wrong be longs" It is wonderful to see how really odious needless vulgarism at tracts many writers. There is per fectly good English phrase for what they intend to say, but they prefer the now bad phrases beheld by them Tn 'Snappy Snippings" The eternal use of the word 'big" in place of great IS very annoying. Were MT Gladstone still alive he would probably be called ''The Big Old Man" Dr. Johnson, l think, opposed "big" from the first, but the Big Doctor failed. Of course, some words get kind of brevet rank, MT. Lyttelton writes about a first rate scholar" First rate" was thought as much a piece of slang as stunning, stunning scholar" not so very long ago But now it is first rate expression, To rush" things has come in; a novel by a very much esteemed female-to re- lapse into an older manner-is full or rushing this or that about rushing bills through, and so on. I do not mind this The earliest use of rush" In this sense known to me is of 1900: "We rushed a ladder at a door," and the speaker was a duke. That is a respectable lineage for the word in this active sense
 Our English is corrupted, of course not only by the indolent use of stale phrases, but by the almost ferocious eff fort to avoid them, by saying every thing as no mortal would naturally say it. This laborious exercise, if persever- ingly practised, constitutes what is now called style. We have many authors with great deal of style" and all of it bad.-Andrew Lang. in The London Morning Post.

ABANDONED HER INFANT CHILD
A Young Mother Arrested by Police
 Last Night.

A Young Mother Arrested by Police
 Last Night.
 Rose De Angelis, young married woman nineteen years of age, was ar rested last evening and locked up at police headquarters on the charge or abandoning her infant child fifteen months of age.
 The young woman. whose name was formerly Clancy, married an Italian named De Angelis, who left her a short time ago and is now said to be living in New Britain. Last evening Mrs. De Angelis took the child to her father. a MT. Clancy, on Wallace street, and wanted him to take care of the 1nfant. MT. Clancy refused to do so and the young, mother then took the baby to the home of her husbands father on East street The elder De Angelis also refused to take the baby and the mot her then went out on the street with the youngster. Meeting a little girl on the street she gave her the baby and told her to take it to the De An gelis house. The girl did so and when she arrived at the house the elder De Angelis grew very angry and threat ened to kick her and the baby into the street.
 The girl then left the house and not being able to find the baby's mother on the street, she having disappeareu' took the child to the Grand avenue station house.
 Sergeant Mcbride had the infant ta- ken to the Organized Charities and sent out policemen to look for the mot who was finally found and arrested.

But the actual accidents, great or small, that have come within ones own obser- vation or knowledge are. l think, extra ordinarily and providentially few.
 And yet we have, on the one hand, our dangerous and our careless shots among us: and on the other, we have the lettering beater and the ignorant "stop," who so often manage to occur in the unexpected spot.

loyalty which is conveyed by the differ ence of the degree in which it is made
 to press upon the Dutch and the Brit ish portions of the population. They
 are we'll aware of the grounds of the suspicion of which they are, not unnat-
 urally, the object These grounds are that they openly condemn the policy of the war that they openly express sym
 pathy with their friends and relations
 who, as Transvaalers or Free Staters
 are fighting against us, and that they
 refuse generally to join the colonial de-
 fence force. These are, to the ordinary
 English mind, strong arguments for re- earding them as disloyal. In friendly
 discussion under the peach trees they admit the grounds of argument without any attempt at evasion. "We do all those things" they say, but we are
 absolutely loyal. We do not want the Transvaaers here. We knew from the beginning that the war could have only
 one issue; but, if conceivably it could have had any other issue, if England i had been beaten and obliged to retire to
 the coast, there would have been civil war here within tbrie months. England has always treated us we'll We had no grievance. Before the war we were
 quite contented with her rule, We wish to remain British subjects, but we claim ! that we have a right, as perfectly con- 1 stituonal and legitimate opposition, to

 ment. We think the war was mistake and we claim right to say so openly

PETTICOAT RULE, IN AMERICA

PETTICOAT RULE IN AMERICA. The Question of a Husbands Suprema-
 ey is Raised by Her Lord and Mas
 fer"
 The chief claim of Her Lord and Master to a public hearing lies in the fact that raises the question whether woman should obey her husbands com mands. Miss Martha Morton appa- rently wishes to convince her audiences at the Manhattan that she should Her critics of the daily press seem 10th to be persuaded, but if, as Miss Morton ap- pears to think, all American men are petticoat subjects, the fact will account for their seeming dissent Like the American husband in the play, they have given in" to hag rule. Meantime the American woman is by the nature of the case against Miss Morton, and with the American husband subject to the women the success of her conten- tion seems in jeopardy,
 Perhaps the play is unfortunate in one or two other respects. The ques- tion of the emancipation of man-a promising propaganda for the twen- tieth century-is entangled With the question of the relative merits of Eng fish and American men; and here also, the authors rather anti-AmeHcan atti- tude Is not unlikely to find much sym pathy with her audiences. It might also be better for the fortunes of the play if the point at issue between hus- band and wife were of less triviality. Even in England it would not be con- sidered the height of error for woman and her husband to dine in a hotel of a Sunday evening especially as the pur- pose of the dinner Is to be with the wifes family; and in America the point seems impossibly small to serve as the | fulcrum for so great an upheaval as Miss Morton contemplates. No doubt American wives are often selfish and self willed; no doubt American hus- | bands are often careless and over-in- dulgent; and no doubt the fact affords the idea for keen and moving comedy of manners. But there Is also no doubt | that Miss Morton has not yet written { that comedy.-New York Times.

 "Do you see that giantess?" said fa- nous medical man yesterday, as he called attention to an unusually tall wo man in Sloane street.
 She was walking across the street with the stride of life guardsman, Her head was erect, her checks giowed with the evidence of pure. fresh, buoy ant health, and her height was six feet at least.

 There were, indeed few short, under sized women. There was, however, a strange predominance of tall, straight stepping. broad-shouldered ladies, and the great authority who had first called attention to them made startling prophecy regarding future femininity. "F1fty years from now" he stated, "the women of the leisured classes-that is, those women whose occupations do not keep them constantly within doors will be six -footers You see the evi- dence before you. Year after year wo- men have been growing taller and stronger save those who work in offices and factories They are exempt from my phophecy."
