Freaks of Ianuuaue.

A peculiar kind of laundering known
as folk etymology" Is responsible for
some of the queerest freaks of Ian
guage. An easy example will make
this clear. Our American word car
ryall" for a kind Of vehicle Is not a
compound Of carry" and all" but a
slight distortion of the French "carri-
OLE" diminutive car. The change
was made in obedience to the uni
versal tendency to asslmilate the un'
known to the known. to make words
mean something by associating then
with others which they resemble II
sound. Often there Is no chronological
relation between the words associated
as when sparrowgrass Is made out o.
asparagus. This particular corruption
was once in such good colloquial ust
that Walker. the photographer, wrote
"Sparrowgrass is SO general that as
paragus has an air OF stiffness and
pedantry"

good many of the theories of arith-

At the end of the fast he was given a

broke 1t up into pieces to count with,

He read everything with avidity.
His mind did not run in one channel,
and he welcomed every volume that

twelve years old he went to n library
TO ask for the works Of certain au-

The boy went home chagrined. for he
did not know Latin, being a slckly

NEW JERSEY NOW READY FOR SIEGE
OF FOREST FIRE.

Alfred n Gaskil, state forester, in
speaking of the efforts of the state of
New Jersey to stamp out forest fires,
declared Saturday that in the past
some 1000, 600 acres of valuable for
est land had burned over, and that the
state is now ready for fires should they
occur, the fire warden system and the
cleared fire lines along railroads being
efficient TO stop any eonhagration. He
said
'.ln the midst of storm and with the
ground saturated, the danger of forest
fires seems remote, yet the state forest
commission is preparing for what may
come within few weeks, and this year
hopes to be able to report fewer forest
fires in New Jersey than ever before.
"lhe forest fire service is now organ
lied in ninety.nine townships, boroughs
and cities, and the wardens are prepar-
ed promptly to look after every fire
that may be started. More than this,
approximately $50 miles of fire lines
10 feet wide have been built by the
railroads across woodland property.
These should materially reduce the
number Of fires caused by coal-burning
locomotives. Any one who now trav-
els to the seashore will notice these
cleared lines at the most exposed
places along the railroad, and few will
deny their value.
"Ie these definite plans and pro-
visions, the forest commission adds an
appeal to the people of the state each
to do everything possible to prevent
the starting of forest fire. The wood
lands Of New Jersey, now largely vast
ed through fires and other abuse, ag-
gregate upwards OF 100000 acres
This great area should be source of
steady revenue to its owners, and to
the state, instead of yielding, as it actu-
ally does, only fraction of what it is
capable Of producing.
Forest fires nowadays, even in dry
seasons like the last two, cause much
less loss than they did decade or more
ago, yet there must be no let-up in the
effort to stop them. We need wood
and ought to have the forests that pro-
duce it. We can have both by STOP
ping the fires and thereby encouraging
the property owners to practice forest
ry"

Americas Grand Old Won IAN.

ST. Paul Pioneer Press: Ninety-one
years of beauty and power-that was
the life of Julia Ward Howe. She
was a successful idealist. Not an en-
tirely practical one. perhaps, but ex-
traordinarily successful in compelling
the hating feet of the world to fall
into step with her. She lived the
Battle Hymn of the Republic. 1t
sounded the measure of her splendid
leadership in life and literature-a
leadership so wide that it was never
too high for the world of men and
women to follow. "'rhe deeper I drink
of the cup of life she said on her
ninetieth birthday, more than year
ago, 1.-The sweeter it grows" Mrs.
Howe's life was of that kind.
Her life was not only long in terms
of years, but 1t was long in experience
In her youth she was reigning belle
and beauty in New York She married

desire fulfilled. That was the great
charm "a her-tAat she loved service
she was a suffragtst--but what suf-

ruffled vote seekers would hardly
recognize the lofty ideal for which
Julia Ward Howe stroye in the days

her own sex was so great that she be-
lieved they could bring to the trying

swelling Up our hearts and study to be
something more than wise in looks.
We need to put our souls into our
work. We need to use our hearts and
brains. Even the most mental task
may be done with a certain deftness
and brightness If we would only try
to be big enough to see that 1t is part
of the great whole OF life
Reclaim yourself now and your farm
next. You have to be big in more senses
than one or you will make dismal
failure wherever you are. You must
study your work-the work you are
doing, or are pretending to do, now.
If you have not the brains and intelli-
gence to do the work that is around
you now how do YOU hope to have
enough to hold down the farm?
You expect to take some ones else
experience and word for all you do?
Many a good man has been wrecked
on that reef. Don't you know that to
each is given individual problems?
Don't you know that unless you study
the matter intelligently so that you
understand what course to pursue even
when there is no precedent that you
are going to fail?
Be big in your present corner of the
world. Study and think. Learn all you
can about what you are doing now.
When you begin to take a deep in
terest in every detail of your present
business, you can hope for success on
the little farm-but probably you will
be so successful where you are that the
call of the soil" will not be for you.
Here is to you-man of courage and
