THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
WELSH RABBIT"

THE name of the dish COM
= posed Of melted cheese with
the addition Of sundry sauces
and piquant fiavorings is usually
spelled t'rarebit"-an error due
to the fact that persons who
could see no resemblance be-
tween their favorite midnight
rcpast and a hare which came
from Wales concluded that it
must be a rare Bit" Even
Worcester and Webster were
formerly guilty of this mistake,
until an examination Of Con-
tinental colloQuialisms showed
them where they erred.
Welsh rabbit" is dyed-in-
the-wool slang term, belonging
to the same class as consider
able number OF other, but less
well-known names applied to
the favorite dishes of various
communities. In England, for
example, they refer to sleeps
head stewed with onions as
German duck" while a bag
pudding Is a Leiscestershire
plover' and Norfolk capon" is
eatinghouse slang for herring.
Following the same school Of
rough wit, the French call a
herring 'poulet de careme" or
"Lenten chicken" and the
Italians reverse this process, re-
ferring to chicken as a fish
out Of the COOP" Nor is the
custom by any means confined
to European countries. The New
England habit Of speaking Of
Goldfish as "Cape Cod turkeys"
and the current slang Of Irish
confetti" for bricks are two
other examples from the same
school.
So Welsh rabbit" 1t should
remain-on account Of the fond
ness Of the Welsh for toasted
cheese and not because it Il a
rare bit, or delicac5.

"USED" THOUGHTS

T. MERSON, wisest of all American
- essayists, says somewhere that
every man must sooner or later make
up his mind that he and no one else
must determine his future.
We can learn from others knowledge,
methods, even wisdom.
Other men can teach us how to
think, as they can teach us how to
swim or play golf.
We all employ a great deal of
thought that is not our own. That
must be, for we should be foolish not
to profit by the accumulated wisdom
OF those who have gone before.
But these used thoughts, while we
must at times employ them, serve not
at all to develop our minds
And while we might get along fairly
well through life without original
thought, we should die little wiser than
when we began, and contribute moth
ing whatever to the progress Of the
world.
All that is Of value in education Is
learning how to think.
From biography we derive great
deal, but most of it consists In know
ing how other men thought, and how
their thought made their careers.
II we carry all our problems to 9th
ers to solve for us, we shall some day
be confronted with great problem
and lack the understanding Of how to
grapple with it.
And in that time there will be no
one to help us, and we shall meet with
q failure that may change for the
worse the course Of our lives
Most OF us will do anything rather
than think, for thinking is labor Of the
hardest kind.

TURNING CORNERS

THE very ease and speed with
= which you rush ahead, so agree
able while the road is smooth and
clear, make it difficult sometimes to
slow down and turn the corners In
safety.
A straight course is easy to follow,
but devious way is hard and calls
for all your strength and finer judg-
ment in spite Of your Wanted skill.
A few trifing words, slip of the
foot. shifting of the eye or broken
troth and you are destitute of cour-
age, In perilous position from which
1t may take years to extricate your
SELF
Friendships are irrevocably lost at
the corners where you must turn to
determine your future; where you
find that you must curtail expenses
and live simpler life with less pleas
ure and more work.
+ Turning corners dan.pens the spirits
: of high-strung men and women and
often narrows their views to so great
an extent that they become mere cor
ner loungers, of no use to themselves
or to the community In which they
exist.
The sunlight vistas of life have
been darkened by the gathering
clouds of adversely in which they un-
expectedly plunged as they turned a
sharp corner in an unfamiliar terri
tory.
Like you, these victims of misfor-
tune were comfortable and happy in
the heyday of prosperity.
And like thousands of others. they
. miscalculated their strength and
were hastily swept off their feet,
bruised and MANNED as they found
themselves bereft Of power and hum
bled in pride.
In an atmosphere that STILES their
ambition and fills their souls with re-
morse, they are like frightened chill
dren lost in the dark, afraid of the
shadows and unable to move.
Yesterday they would have laughed
at the plight of. a friend who made
/. an unfortunate turn at the corner; to-
day, laughter and they are not on
speaking terms.
