NEW SLANG WHICH is OLD.

speare Wrote "Good Night.D

speare Wrote Good Night"
A new slang phrase is sprung and
sweeps the country. If 1t is apt and
pat you will hear it on the street, from
the pulpit and in the schoolroom. Then,
apparently without reason, it's vogue
vanishes, and it is added to the worlds
collection of antiquities.
Perhaps one reason why a new slang
expression is short lived is because
some investigator finds that it really is
not new, but merely a revival of a
phrase which in it's day was not slang
at oil. 1t has remained for Professor
II. p. Utter in Harper's Magazine to
throw light on the expression "Good
night" meaning tinality. The vaude-
vile entertainers who first used it,
thinking they we're originators, should
be a trifle crestfallen to find that it
belongs to one William Shakespeare.
Get out Part I. of Henry ~" You
will read there:
II he fall in. good night. Or sink or
swim.
But that isn't all. Come off, and

both striking American slang phrases,

NEW YoRK's SKY LINE.
A Riot Of Architecture In Its Jagged
Forest of Towers.

a Hiot OF Architecture In Its Jagged
Forest Of Towers.
The best OF New York is against the
Sky. We have not an equally arrayed
town like Paris or London, with a
tolerably even roof line and only a few
monuments here and there rearing
heads above the .ruck. Everything in
New York tries to be higher than ev-
erything else. The profile of. the city
is as j~agged~as Il second growth forest.
A city OF towers is the name that has
been used to describe Manhattan. But
1T is far too polite. We are much more
like a colossal factory town with an
unending variety of workshops topped
by the tallest of marble chimneys.
Restlessness and activity are it's
Watchwords. Even our private houses
are stood on end. a few m%illionaires
can afford to buy a block and spread
ont their homes so as actually to look
rooted to the ground. The rest of the
world must live on end in a tree house,
connected by many ladders, that might
walk off down the street at any mo-
ment. Our few monumental structures,
like the custom house and the library
and the Metropolitan museum, are sim
ply noteworthy exceptions whose pIa-
cidity makes the surrounding upheavals
all the more turbulent.
Mere change in the name of the
bandar log is not the real spirit of New
1ork's sky line, however. 1t is tur-
bulence with a method. Contest, rivalry,
the will to beat out ones ncighbor,
stick Il in every jutting %cornice, in
yer soaring tower. The brick facades
of the dwelling houses quarrel
with each other in exactly the same
fashion. Restraint, modesty, Il desire
to melt into the general scheme of
things, almost never occurs to owner. or
architect. One of the houses IN
Fifth avenue ONE to mind, a perfect
word in dignity and restraint. 1t is al
most indecently conspicuous by reason
of its contrast with it's shouting, tenn
pestuous neighbors.-New York Trib-
