A coINER OF WORDS.
Mirabeau's Busy Brain Enlarged the
Worlds Vocabulary.

The authorities seem to assign the
origin of the word aristocrat to the
French Revolution. which coined its
opposite, democrat Oddly enough. the
word seems to have been first applied
to our harmless military order. the
Cincinnati.
When the Cincinnati was organized
in 1888 a storm of objection was rails
ed. One of the pamphlets that de
nounced the military order. of which
Washington was the head, fell into the
hands of Mirabea who Immediately
made it the subject of a slashing tract
in which be called the society unre
publican. un-American and much else
that was not complimentary.
To cap the climax. he wrote. 'Ies
Cincinnati sont done des mobiles, des
aristocrates. de vrais patriciensr' tThe
Cincinnati. then. are mobiles, aristo-
Gratis, veritable patriciansb The word
was born. Mirabeau, perhaps the ablest
Frenchman of the time. liked the new
word so well that he repeated it sev
eraI times.
His pamphlet was written In 1885.
and since no Paris publisher was will
ing to take risks with an essay SO
strongly republican it was printed in
London in 17SS. The word was accept
ed in many languages and led to the
formation of many similar words, like
democrat autocrat, theocrat. plutocrat,
bureaucrat and others In 1885. when
Mirabeau wrote. there was no prece
dent for such words unless it were tht
French form of certain Greek names.
like Socrate. Isocrate, Hippocrate.
Mirabeau's busy brain and fac1le
tongue added several other useful words
to the worlds vocabulary Capitalist.
bonhomie, parvenu, Anglo-American
primary meeting, veto (as noun and
universal suffrage are all words of
phrases first used by him. Youths

rival to Mrs. Langtry. 1t was a

stairs most of the men were hidden by
their hostess to follow as soon as their
first cigarette had been smoked. Whis-
tier was not told On the contrary, a
man was asked to hold him in talk for
ten minutes.
Once in the drawing room the host
ess produced number of white feath

each mans hair in front where Whis
tier wore his Then she marshaled her
men In line. facing the door. and sent
word to Whistler in the dining room
that he was staying long time and
she would like him to come up.
He obeyed, and when he opened the
door of the drawing room and found
himself confronted with line of black
haired men, each decorated with a
white plume in imitation of his own
his face turned red and then pale He
walked slowly past the line to the end
