CURIOSITY OF MODERN SLANG
Rngllsh Journal Comments With Some
Sharpness, and Admiration, OF
American Slang.

Time was-and not so very long
ago, either-when the only distinc-
lively American expression known In
this country was II guess" To say
II guess" and endeavor-not always
with success--to speak 1t through
your nose, was the recognized way OF
impersonating an American 1t was
always sure Of an appreciative and un-
derstanding laugh-the laugh that in
dicates, yes, yes; I'm just as intelli-
gent as you, and know exactly what
you intend" Nowadays, we don't
know why, our common speech is well
favored with transatlantic idioms. Not
always slang, we mean. American
slang has its uses, though the only one
we can think Of at the moment is that
1t saves trouble. When one has clas-
sified ones friends and acquaintances
as "the limit" and "the goods" one
has been spared much labor Of char
acterization. Otherwise the argot of
the Bowery is more curious than beau
tiful. But We 80 further. I'VE FIX
things up" Instead Of finishing q task

begin. but start in" This habit Is
spreading like canker through all
classes Of the community--even to
those conservative gentlemen, the
dramatists, who name their new pro-
ductions THE Glad Eye" or Looking
for Trouble" No doubt we shall be
told by apologists for the habit that all
the expressions we hove noted are to
be found in Shakespeare or Milton.
That may be, but we doubt II Miss Co.

Avon ever caused one of his heroines
to be called ''lal1apalooza. London

WOrmy Apples.

There is no longer any excuse
for wormy apples; the cause is
known and the remedy is known.
When apple trees are in bloom,
a little insect called coddling moth
lays an egg in the embryo apple,
and as the apple develops, the lit
worm Matched from these eggs,
eats its way to the outer part of
the apple, and seeing the worm
hole, we are led to believe that
the worm began its work on the
outside of the apple which is
not the case.
The remedy is to spray with q
preparation that kills the life in
the egg, and the time to do it is
just as the blossoms have nearly
all fallen from the tree. The
time to prepare is during the win.
ter months so as to have every
thing ready to spray on the day
the blossoms fall from this OF
that variety of apples-some bios
soming later than others.

At the Fat Stock show in Chi
cagothe following has been shown
that in dressed beef: Herfords
hind quarter lighter than the
front by 81 lbs. Shorthorns hind
quarter lighter than the front by
II lbs., Angus hind quarter light
er than the front by 70 lbs,, Hol-
stein hind quarter heavier than
the front by 9 lbs.
For milk in every way, the Hol-
stein COW today holds all worlds
records, for butter all but one,
and from the foregoing tables
all for beef. Will not this make
this the dual-purpose breed and
the one and only breed for the
farmer?
Prof. |. P. Roberts and others
who have tested the qualities of
the meats say Holstein beef has
a superior flavor. Will not this
prove that beef and milk can be
profitable combined in the same
breed?
