Of Contagious Blood Poison never exis- ted. It is always bad, though sometimes no external sylnpto1ys of the disease ap- pear for long time.

MIsUsED WORDS
Very Common in the Speech of Every
 day Life.

q was just thinking of the words that are often misused in common
 speech. the speech of every-day life, :" said an observant man, and 1t all
 goes to show how thoughtless men and women are in a great many respects
 The need of giving words bearing a isynonymic relation just shade of difference in some of the uses to which they are put is, of course, apparent to any person who will think of this sub ject for a moment. Take, for instance,
 the words speak and talk. We can
 see at a glance that while speak and
 talk, under certain circumstances.
 and in some uses to which they may be put, have exactly the same meaning, under certain ther circumstances 1t
 would be shocllingly inappropriate to
 substitute the one for the other. We often say speak when we say that
 some man has written thus and so, as Shakespeare, or Bacon, or Chaucer. or the Bible. or the Koran, speak of so and so. We say very properly that an
 orator preacher, and so on. will | speak tonight on q certain subject, by which we mean that he will talk. But we have come to mark difference
 between speaking and talking
 Talking is ordinary. IL is plain con- versation. Speaking is something more dignified, something more ornate.
 So speak, speaking speech speak
 er,' all take on meanings, at times. (which differentiate them from talk
 talking talkar. Yet speak is to talk. So in the law the word oral
 takes on a meaning somewhat different from it's genuine etymological meaning. But I am thinking more particularly of the very common confusion of the words representing the senses of hear l ing and sight. Should we say that we
 have heard, or that we have seen this play or this opera? I went to see the opera Carmen T went to hear Hamlet" Now which is correct? Either one, you will probably say. Of course, we hear and see as q matter Of fact. But We may say we hear an opera and see a play. l believe this conclusion is wrong. My own judg- ment is that we hear in both places.
 We go to hear Hamlet, just as we go to hear an opera. Seeing is an incl dent to the hearing. Hearing is the main thing. To illustrate the differ ence between hearing and seeing an opera or a play let us assume a case oi two men who attend a performance of Hamlet the play, and Carmen,
 the opera. One of them is blind, and the other is deaf Which man do you
 suppose would get the greater amount of pleasure out of the performances,
 the man who heard the words of the opera. or the man who viewed both with pantomimic productions. Mani festly the man who could hear would derive the greatest pleasure. This seems to me to present the case in it's strongest possible light, and it would
 seem to give the preference to the word
 hear Still men may quibble over matters of this sort, and after all each man may judge for himself. Common
 use has no doubt made the use oi either hear or see adnissible.-New Orleans Times Democrat.
