TITLE MUCH MISUSED
TERM "REvERENDr SUBJECT TO
SOME ABUSE.
Fact 10 Be Remembered is That II Is
Never a Family Name But Is Al
ways Applied to the
Individual.

At some time in the middle ages the
custom grew up of applying to clergy
men the term "reverendus." This
word was a part of a speech known in
Latin as q gerund, and meant "one
who ought to be revered.'
Gerurds could be compared like ad
! jectives, and It seemed natural to the
/ people of those days that, If all clergy
/ men were reverend, q bishop should
be designated by the comparative de
/ gree. "reverendior" more reverend, or
right reverend, while the superlative
degree, reverendissimus, most rev.
orend, was reserved for archbishops.
AS these terms referred to indi-
viduals, they were never used in con-
nection with the family name alone,
but with the Christian name, which
indicated the Individual.
A great many people in our day are
committing the unfortunate blunder of
using the term reverend" in connec-
ton with a family name. Mr.. Smith
is a clergyman He is frequently
spoken to as Reverend Smith" This
is wrong. Smith is a family name. and
does not refer to an individual The
only proper way of speaking of him is
as Rev. Mr.. Smith, or Rev. John
Smith, or plain Mr.. Smith, but never
Rev. Smith.
Never Rev. and Mrs. Smith, but
Rev. and Mrs. John Smith Strictly
speaking. the only possible way of
speaking to him is "Mr. Smith" for
the old English your Reverence" has
died out.
One does not speak of or to Judge
rs Honorable Jones, but one speaks or
writes of him as the Hon. Henry T..
Jones, and addresses him as "Your
Honor"
AS concerns the use of the word
reverend" no one applies IL to him
self or signs his name with it pre-
fixed.
Scholars urge us to try to preserve
the use of the English language, and
not be attacked by the modern disease
which impels so many people to use
nearly all the nouns and many of the
adjectives as IL they were titles.
You may find in the papers any day
such expressions as Motorman Brown,
Witness Green, Suspect Robinson, OPP
tician White, Pitcher Jones.
1t ought to be stopped; but who will
stop it? Scholars tell us that this is
one of the signs that the English Ian
guage is degenerating very rapidly.

The Pineapple In England.

Pineapples, which Londoners can
now buy at the cheapest rate within
living memory, first reached England
In the latter part Of the seventeenth
century. The fruit was thus novelty
to Sir Christopher Wren's generation;
but he soon recognized its value as an
architectural ornament, and copper
pineapples about five feet high figure
prominently on the towers OF st.
Pauls SO highly did Wren esteem
the fine proportions and enriched sur
face of this fruit that his original de.
sign for st. Pauls shows an enormous
pineapple in the place of the dome.
Happily his maturer thoughts saved
US from that appalling spectacle Since
Wren the pineapple has been as much
at home in our architecture as on our
dinner tables. II has descended even
to cast iron, and is frequently found In
old-fashioned streets. Queen Victoria
treasured a seal given by her husband
on which pineapple was engraved.

The Centipede.

The centipede was formerly a res
ident Of the southern part of this
country, but 1t has gradually worked
its way to the North, so that now they
are quite common in nearly every por.
ton of the country. 1t thrlves best In
damp and warm places and has its
redeeming feature in that 1t catches
and destroys many Of the domestic
pests we are we'll rid Of. Its method
OF catching an insect seems to be to
spring over 1t, inclosing and caging II
with its many legs. The belief occa.
sionally met with that the centipede
feeds on household goods and woolens
or other clothing Is without founda-
ton. On the other hand, the bite of
this creature is undoubtedly more or
less poisonous, the effect depending
on the susceptibility OF the patient.

The previous high water mark in
Overland production was in the month

shipped. The record shipment for June
exceeds these figures by about so per
cent. This jump in production is in

mand for the Overland product

there has been an unprecedented de-
mand for cars. More Overlands have

this year than during the whole of
1914.
Export shipments, not including
Canada show the same remarkable
increase over last years figures. AL
though the year is but half over it
was found at the close of June that
fcreisn shipments had amounted to
fully 20 per cent. of the entire export
shipments of 1914.
In spite of the fact that more cars
are being shipped daily from the Over
land factory than ever before, orders
are showing a steady gain on ship
ments. When the books were closed
at the end of June II was found that
two remarkable records had been es-
Ia blished. Not only had the Overland
surpassed all previous months in ship
ments of cars, but the number of un-
filled orders on hand were greater than
at any time in the history of the busi-
ness. These untitled orders totaled
10000. John n. Willys, president of
the company, is straining every effort
to cope with this unusual commercial
problem. The manufacturing faciu-
ties OF the factory have been steadily
increased. The daily output has grown
| larger and larger. In a comparatively
short space of time the production has
| jumped from 200 cars a day to the
present average of 400 cars a day. An

The recent addition of IL acres Of

devoted exclusively to the manufac-
ture of automobiles in the world. To-
day the plant consists of 67 buildings
containing more than 70 acres of
ttcor space. Eight years ago the Over
land production amounted to 400 cars
a year. To-day the Toledo factory
