A Defense of Slang

So fur from being an evidence of q
national levity and lack of seriousness
slang is the language of sincerity. 1t
is the result Of an instructive effort to
get as far away as possible from every
thing like pretentiousness. 1t is the
antipodes of bathos. 1t Is the Ian
guage of the whole people, because it
is expressive of the national sense Of
humor that is never so keen as when
1t contemplates with JOY likewise
unutterable the spectacle presented by
fake exposed. 1t is blunt, 1t is crude,
it is brutal sometimes, but it is always
sincere. 1t directs against the citadels
of evil the mighty englnery of laugh
ter. 1t does for our nascent abuses
what the mordant satire of Martial and
Juvenal failed to do for decadent
Rome.-Professor Herman Spencer in
Booklovers' Magazine.

whistlins For Wind.

No sooner had we rounded the cape
than the wind dropped and we nearly
came to a standstitl. Our "kamudi''-
t. e., captain and steersman--did the
best he could do for us. but in vain.
We We're doomed to drift about some
hours without much progress. He
would whistle softly and enticingly or
would change his tone and with pOuted
lips whistle angrily and viciously for
the wind that would not come to help
us on. l have often wondered what
can have been the origin Of whistling
for the wind. That the custom is Of
undoubted practical utility is the firm
belief Of many races Of seafarers, from
the English sea captain to the humble
Malay kamudi. l was on one occasion
very roughly spoken to by captain in
the Irish channel for casually whistling
in gale Of wind. He thought it
which might lead to serious conse-'
quences. Here in Celebes, too, l was
warned to be careful not to laugh when
the kamudi screwed his face up into
an intensely ludicrous expression Of
feigned passion and whistled angrily
for the wind to come. for the Malay
seaman's belief in the efficacy of this
mode Of raising the wind is a serious
one and will not brook being made an
object of derision. Soon after midnight
a favorable breeze sprang up. and by
sunrise we were passing the little is
lands of Ganga and Tindela.-Sidney
