LINGUISTIC LAZINESS.
Shown by People Who Will Not Stop
to Think of the Exact Word
Needed.

The laziness of all laziness is the prac-
tice of coming unnecessary new words.
1t might have bsen supposed that, when
there is already in existence word
| which exactly denotes the idea to be
expressed, it would be easier to fall
back upon this word than to invent an
other, says H. w. Horwill, in the Critic.
In fact, however, it often requires less
effort to construct a linguistic mon
strosity than to find the term that has
been consecrated by good usage. Take,
ment," "revealment," "withdrawment,"
development" "denotement' and
"start!emert" 1t is not difficult to trace
| the mental process. The word "extin-
guish" was in the speakers mind. He
wanted noun, and to stick "ment" on
to the verb was an expedient nearer to
hand than the search for extinction"
Occasionally the quick change is from
the noun to the verb. When man says
Ito administrate," we may be sure that
he first thought of administration"
and that he was then in too great hurry
to notice that the analogy with such
pairs as "celebrate' and celebration"
would mislead him. If one were making
a collection of linguistic curios one
might add to it such exhibits as "propel-
lation," ,'affirmance," 'clientage,"
"reminiscential," "movelsss," ''tradi-
tionary," "leisuristic," ''unsympathy"
and "bishoply" In the mind of the Of
fender there seems almost to be Turk
ing a kind of predatory false analogy
which grabs at his expressions and dis
torts them before he can help himself.
Is it too late to purify our speech
from these mischieyous tendencies, or
must we be content to see a great Ian
guage turned into shoddy? Certainly
the effectiveness of English as an organ
of thought is weakened by the careless
use of its vocabulary. The creation of
redundant words really adds nothing to
the resources of tongue, and the over
working Of some words, combined with
The Woodworking of others, means
actual poverishment. Only a pedant
would object to the gradual expansion
Of the dictionary by means of the aGop-
ton of new idioms and terms. When
our ancient metaphors have lost their
edge, we may be pardoned if we turn
even to colloquialisms for pointed ex-
pressions to take their place. But there
is no progress through confusion.

RAILWAY DISCIPLINE. 81.
Method of Enforcing Regulations
which Il BEING Generally 4
Adopted. =

Sixty railroad lines in the United
States, embracing one-third of the total
mileage, have adopted single system of
disciplinary rules for employees. The
rules are: Of course, modified to meet
local conditions, but the general plan is
one invented and first used by General
Superintendent George r. Brown, of the
Fall Brook railroad of New. York, to
check unjust discharge of employees and
to improve the, relations between en-
ployers and workman, says the Worlds
Work. = ..-..-s 'c-.--s.@ --s.t
The Brown system" has for it's foun-
dation record book" in which is kept
a personal record of every employee Of
the road. In it is written brief state
ment of every irregularity for which
each workman is responsible. When a
man begins to make record in the book
he is called to headquarters and talked
to. He is not suspended; he is merely
warned. But when the page is filled with
irregularities" the account is usually
closed with the words: discharged, in
competent"
For every item entered against the en-
ploye bulletin is posted in a conspicu-
Gus place, telling what the fault is, how
it could have been avoided, and how it
affects the company's interests. These
bulletins are dreaded as much as the
'1ay-off'' for which they are substituted
in the Brown system"
The objects sought have been summar-
lied in renOrtS-fho m 0st i'm mort Mt ore.
Avoiding loss of time and wages of
employees, resulting in possible suffering
to those dependent on their earnings, as
we'll as decentralization of employees by
enforced idieness.
"Avoiding unnecessary severity in
ing him to serve an actual suspension
for a single offense that does not inju-
riously reflect upon it's reputation, con-
duct; capacity or future usefulness in the
service.
advancing the education of employees
through the medium of bulletin notes,
enabling them to avoid the mistakes
made by Others"
The causes for instant dismissal have
been greatly reduced by the adoption of
the general rule of the Brown system"
The rules, however, are not intended to
operate in cases of disloyalty, dishon-
esty, desertion, habitual intemperance:

Then I saw it all, and didn't blame
him. The talked-to-death colonel had
