Ortgin OF the Word Cop"

The word "cop" originated in Lon
don, being derived from the three
initials of constable of police" This
Interesting bit of information comes
from Police Commissioner Enright of
New York city.
chief Enrights theory of how the
word cop came into being has eXpe-
rience, precedent and probability To
back it. 1t has experience, because
Commissioner Enright is conversant
with police affairs. 1t has precedent
because when the words of phrase
happen to have initials which, taken
together can he pronounced in one
syllable, there is Il tendency to lump
then in one, and so form new word
lr has probability because the ETY.
moIogy suggested is simple and nat
ural. Cop is an abbreviation which
any English-speaking public would like
to make Of constable of police"
Nobody knows all about a word until
he has looked up its origin. To do
that is one of the best of helps toward
fixing the meaning of words much
longer and far less familiar than ''cop"
lasIingIy in the mind.-Buffalo Times.

SPIRIT OF XMAS GIVING

WHILE reports are coming 10 tell
w ing of the greatest an hest
Xmas of all time, we still hear ta- pro
tests of the materiaists and e5ue.
who would do away with this j,e5.
and thoughtless giving. On ue one
hand, we have those who wcd CON
tinue to give useful gifts to relatives
and friends and the poor and needy,
thus keeping alive that Spirit of Xmas
that has been an institution Of joy to
countless millions of people annually
for nearly 1000 years. On the other
hand, we have those cold rhHterialiats
who in their scramble for gold and its
power would sacrifice the oest holiday
of the year, that hey miglt save i lew
paltry dollars.
Each year various orr anizatons, es-
pecially the churches and ,her ligi iu-
institutions, make haD OF dstribu-
ting gifts of food and clothing to the
extremely poor Of their r. spective com
munities. This years donations to the
poor far exceeded all others, and surely
= these donations were appreciated ever
more than usual because f the scarcity
of work and coal
1t would indeed be sad state of af
fairs were we to do away with Xmas
and its spirit. Sure. y those who advo
cate an abolition OF Araas giving have
not taken into cons Iteration the conse
quences of such step. The Transcript
heartily supports thls spirit of giving
each Xmas even as the Shepherds gave
presents to the Christ Child before us

Go Back to Fifteenth Century.

If anything should astonish us ABOUT
fces it is their longevity. The life of
nimalS is ephermeral compared to
dat of our trees. The pine and great
heStput can assuredly extend their
,yiStence to term of 400 or 300
Years. In the Island of Teneriffe are
ound many venerable pines and enor-
nous chestnut trees which in all pfob-
ability were planted there by the CON
.nlistadores at the commencement of
lie Fifteenth century, the epoch of
thp invasion Of the island.
The former are distinguished from
the others, owing to the conquerors
having in their piety decorated them
learly al with little madonnas, which
are still seen suspended to their
coughs.
