II is'a question OF taste and fancy
whether one should make two bites OF
a cherry, but we NIL really make two
bites OF the word cherry" when wa
use II iu the singular, The original
English version OF 'cerise" was Cher
Is" or "chlrls." which was mistaken
for a plural, 10 that Nchcri' or "chlrl''
was soon manufactured as a singular.
Exactly so has ''pea" come into being
as a false singular obtained from the
supposed plural and true singular
''pcase." SHERRY" for "sherris" Is an.
other case, and SHAY" from 'chalsc,"
"Chlnee" from Chinese" and corp
from corpse nre others In vulgar
speech. Similarly riches Is really o

necessary TO sort them under the classifi-

delicate business is done with unerring pre-

little machines.
Into these machines are inserted single
