PROFANITY.

Il
! The report that individuals have
been punished for using prorane Ian
guage is Of the utmost Importance to
that small minority of persons who
hold that a proper familiarity with
the English language is worth while.
I There is. IL must be conceded, a
shocking degree of ignorance of the
English language by the people who
should speak 1t more or less correct
ly. The average high school graduate
has only the haziest knowledge Of it,
"A great many college graduates houn-
der in its simplest whirlpools with pa

per cent Of the entire population.

man about town has to rely upon a

with anyone who knows the English
language. One is constantly remind
ed OF DIR. Johnson's hshwoman, who
believed herself to be mortally injured
when he referred to her as a polyhe-
1ron.
The man who uses profane language
is, OF course, man who cannot ex-
press himself forcibiy in any other
terms. Profanity and morality haven't
anything like the relationship which
old fashioned people held to be the
case. All have heard Of a retired
ship captain who would swear copi-
ously when he was prevented from at
tending religious services on time
and even profane parsons and swear
ing deacons have been iauded by poets
and singers.
The man who has not experienced
The satisfaction Of finding the right
adjective for nice occasion has
missed one Of the most exquisite
pleasures known TO the race. The
man who uses profane language may

CHRISTMAS DAY OF "DEvIL"
Printers Lad, Waiting for Copy From
Mason, Spent Holiday In the
Authors House.

1t happened that sad Christmas
tide of 1868, when Thackeray lay
dead and all the London papers we're
busy with his name. my father re-
ceived hurried little note from Ed
ward Levy-after Levy Lawson. the
present Lord Burnham-asking him
TO write the article for the Daily Tele-
graph on Thackeray's death. / found
the note not long ago among some
papers. Il was dated December 26.
1885," and asked my father to do
for us today a leader on the present
condition of English literature apro-
pos of the death of Thackeray" And
there was a postscript; "The bearer
will walk about the country till you
tell him to return for copy"
The story OF that little printers
devil and how he spent his Christmas
day In our house in Finchley road
has been handed down in the family
annals. He may, in obedience to his
employer, have taken little walk
about the wintry Hampstead or Kill
burn fields. but he most certainly and
sensibly came back to eat his Christ.

all day It must have been quite late
at night when the parlor maid, so the
story foes, looked into the study with
q rather scared face and whispered
to my mother: Please. ma'am. the
devil has been sitting by the kitchen
fire the whole evening and cook says
hadn't she better give him a hot sup

ABRAHAM JAcoBl.

Few men in the medical profession
have attained as great fame as DR.
Abraham Jacobi. who. at 81. was re-
Gently elected president Of the Ameri-
can Medical association at the Los
Angeles meeting. Dr. Jacob has Ions
been a leader in the medical world
and years have increased. rather
than diminished, his usefulness.
DR.. Jacobi--like Carl Schurz. Siegel
and many others. came to this coun-
try to escape political persecution in
Germany--and his adopted country
regards his achievements with pride.
He was imprisoned at Berlin for his
revolutionary tendencies. and when
liberated, sailed for New York. He
has practiced medicine without in
terruption for fifty eight years
A penniless exile. without friends,
he in few years became such an
authority on children's diseases that
he was given chair in the College
OF Physicians and Surgeons. In 1895
the chair Of pediatrics in the Uni
versity OF Berlin was offered DIR.
jacob, but his long residence in
America had coverted him into such
a thoroughgoing American that he de-
clined the honor-saying he could not
bear the thought Of leaving the coun-
try which had been so kind to him in
his hour Of need.
DR.. Jacobs greatest service to the
medical profession and TO humanity
has been the firm establishment Of
infant feeding upon a scientific basis.
He declares the proper feeding Of in
fants is the greatest and most mo-
mentous problem of all times. So
insistent has he been that all the
medical world has been converted to
his belief.
Railers against European imnigta-
ton should stop and consider the
service rendered this nation by such
men as schurz and Jacob. This ma
ton has little to fear from Europeans
who come here to make this their
permanent home.
