zee PArR on WORDS.
Styles Change in Language as in Dress
Though More Slowly.


The history Of the race is writ
ten in the words it uses. AS We
grow and change, so our language
grows and changes. Mr. Leon
Mead in his book, 'Word- Coin
age" points out that some words
go out Of fashion and come back,
like tan shoes and Undermined
hats, although the change in
words is much slower than the
change in dress.
In Sponsors day "forestall,'
"fain," "scathe," "askance," "em-
bellish" and 'dapper" were not
considered good, but they have
since gained responsibility and
won their place in the language.
The seventeenth century regard
ed as obsolete a number of Chau-
GERS words: "transccnd, 7"
"bland," sphere" "blithe,"
franchise" carve" anthem"
One by one these words came to
life again and walk the pages of
our literature in full vitality.
Other words now indispensable,
which the seventeenth century re
jected, are "pIumage," tapes
try" tissue" ledge" trench
ant" resource" "villainy,"
''thrill," "yelp," "dOvetaiI."
Bacon did not have the good
word encyclopedia but used
the heavy equivalent, "circle
earning"
Fulke, the sixteenth century
author who wrote "a Defense Of
he Sincere and Trne Transla-
ions Of the Hole Scriptures into
ne English Tong" did not admit
'neOphyte," ''hOmicide," "scan.
lal,' obstruction, "tunic, "des-
'icable," rational" Another |
'oOk published in 1868 puts the
lamp of censure on "obliquc,"
radiant" adoption" "caress,'
amphibious," "hOrizontal." con
ede," "articulate, "destina-
ion," compensate" "complicat-
d" and "adventitiOus."
It's hard to trace the history Of
fashion in words. Seldom do we
ave the precise record that Ches.
criield furnishes ina letter in
which he says that he was present
It the birth of the word "hirta-
ion" on the lips Of beautiful
woman. Even with that record

maiden, who lived go years before
the common era, and during the
reign of Psammeticus, one of the
twelve kings of Egypt, says the
"Jewish Messenger One day she
entured TO go in bathing in clear
stream near her home, which must
have been unusually small. Lying
on the bank, an eagle, passing
above, CHANGED to catch sight Of the
little sandals, and, installing them
for a toothsome tidbit, pounced
down and carried off one in his beak,
The bird then unwIttingly played
the part of fairy godmother, for,
flying directly over Memphis, where
King Psammeticus was dispensing
Justice, it let the shoe fall right into
The kings lap. It's size, beauty and
/ daintiness Immediately attracted
the royal eye, and the king, deter.
mined upon knowing the wearer Of
os cunning shoe, sent throughout
all his kingdom in search of the foot
that it would fit.
AS in the story of Cinderella, the
messengers finally discovered Rho
dope, lifted on the shoe. and carried
her in triumph to Memphis, where
she became the queen of King Psam
metlcus, and the foundation of thc
fairy tale that was to delight boys
and girls 2,400 years later.

men on trains which are not provided
with mail clerks to take charge of and
deliver open newspaper mail This de-
cision has been reached after much
consideration, and in response TO pc
tition filed by many % the leading
newspaper publishers of the country,
who asked the postotfice department to
provide facilities for distributing open
bundles Of papers along the lines from
trains which carry only closed pouches
There are 4 large number of such
trains, and as the department is not
represented 10y an emplOye on them the
postmaster general declined TO assume
responsibility for papers not enclosed
in the pouches. Second Assistant Post
master General Shallenherger then Sug-
gested the eXpedient of employing the
baggagemen to take charge of the mail
in such cases, and the suggestion was
adopted.

BALFoUR Is MUCH CONCERNED
Makes Statement In the House or Com
mons to His Policy.

mons as to His Policy.
London. Aug. 11.-The state of af-
fairs in Macedonia was brought up in
the house of commons. but Premier
Balfour declared he was unable to give
satisfactory assurances regarding the
situation. The latest news reaching
the government. he said. was far from
reassuring. Balfour acknowledged the
i'll success of the efforts of Europe in
the Macedonian question since the
signing of the treaty of Berlin. but
said he thought the critics of European
diplomacy should not, forget the extra
ordinarily complicated difficulties Of
the task. There We're grave grievances
arising from a deep-set disease. He de
plored the failure of efforts to deal
with the situation. but was still hope
full that the plan recently designed by
Russia and Austria would prove the
best in dealing with the problem.
1T must be admitted Sorrowfully,"
continued the premier that the reVo-
lutionary bands themselves are one of
the chief obstacles to the success of
Europe's efforts. The lurid picture
was not painted in colors any too dark.
Between the qutrageS deliberately
planned by the fevOlutionists and the
license of Turkish troops. the historical
truth requires me to say that the bal
ance of criminality lies rather with the
revolutionists than with the Turks"
Balfour said everything possible
would be done to impress the porte
with the necessity of keeping its troops
we'll in hand, and every assistance
would be given it in carrying out that
object. He believed the porte realized
the political necessity of stopping eX-
cesses by Turkish troops in the face
of deliberate attempts to provoke eX-
cesses and thus compel the interven-
tion of Europe. Unfortunately Europe
had not the same opportunity of bring
ing pressure to bear on the rebel
| bands.
The latter's deliberate and avowed
| object was to make the condition OF
Macedonia so impossible that at what
ever cost to the peace of the world
there must be Intervention on the part
of Russia or Austria. or both. The
British government, concluded Balfour,
did not desire to see such policy sue
