THE great critics seem to
i be agreed that the shorter


the word used to express
thought, the better it is expressed Lincolns
Gettysburg speech contains only two words
of as many as four syllables, -" proposition
Shakespeare when in his most lofty flights,
employs short words. Nevertheless. he coined
fcabilitudinitatibus and put it into
Costards mouth in the last act of Loves
Labour's Lost But Costard was not
serious minded person
The tendency of the English language is to
short words, and it is to the learned that one
must look for the real jawbreakers that some
times vie with German combinations and tax
the ingenuity of dictionary makers to define.
Philosophers and scientists run to polysylla-
bles, and have probably exhausted the capa-
bilities of Anglo-Saxon with the aid OF Latin
in the following.
"Subconstitutionalist," "incomprehensibil-
stantiationalst.' Observation-Disclosures
ness" Observation-Disclosures" "unexception-
ableness,' disproportionableness "veloci-
pedestrianistical" and OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
tiationistical."
This last word contains thirty-two letters,
and is doubtless the longest word in the
language. 1t has six rs in it. while Costards
mongrel Latin invention has seven Is It's
parts give the ideas of partizanshlp, OPPOSE
ton, change and substance. 1t is term
used in theology, and means mild opposition
to the doctrine of transubstantiatlon the form
given being the adjective.
The making of outlandish words for the
sake of their comic effect was a frequent trick
of the old writers, and Rabelais quite out
does Shakespeare with connection OF letters
after this fashion: Antipericatametaanapa
mphicribrationes. 1t means nothing,
being a mere combination of Greek PROPOSE
tons. but it contains forty-five letters, as
against twenty-seven in Shakespeare's con-
glomeration
The regular habit of Germans to write
superior court judge as one word, and call
the obergeriehtsrah" is too familiar
and too extensive practice to call for COM
nlent.
1t is not so we'll known that Italian is
language capable of about as much elonga-
ton witness this sample.

Being interpreted it means: If the Arch
bishop of Constantnople should wish to give up
his archbishopric. would you do the same in
order that he may not give up his arch
bishopric?"
But the longest of them all was the result
of joke some two thousand three hundred
years ago. Aristophanes, the Greek writer of
comedies, wrote comedy called 1.-The Women
