FATE OF FOREIGN WORDS.
They Are Often overworked by the New Workers.

From the New York World.
 It's odd" remarked the Wall Street man, how seldom foreign phrase hits New York and how pitilessly 1t is over worked when 1t does land, and how ruthlessly 1t is hurled aisde and forgot ten even before it's successor arrives. It takes a war, as rule, to bring some for eign word to popular notice here.
 "Take the expression 'Banzai!' for in- stance. Not one New Yorker in ten thousand had ever heard that word till the Jap-Russ war started. Yet nowadays, from vaudeville stage to department store you heard Gothamtes mouthing 1t as though it were a choice bit of slang.
 "A very few years ago a certain Ger an-American episode in connection with the Spanish war gave us the 'Hoch' habit. School boys yelled 'hoch at each other. Youts pledged each other with 'hochl' over foaming steins and 'hoch!' was in- corporated into popular songs. You sell dom hear 1t now.
 "Then, during the first days of our war with Spain, the expression 'Manana' was imported. Scornfully, amusedly jocosely, it was uttered everywhere. Newspapers took it up, and employers slipped 1t into lectures to their clerks on lazziness. Yet who says manana' in this century?
 Up to the manana' period the French phrase fin re siecle was all the rage. Clothes were named for it, and people wrote to the papers asking how to pro- nounce it. Never before or since has a foreign expression had such a vogue. Yet today it is as dead as the late lamented J. Caesar.
 What will be next? And what pre- ceded fin de siecle? Who knows? don't, for one"
