John Thos. ~ Norman Philip . Edward Stanley complete the UCH common words as “recon-l noiter,” “pontoon.” and ‘_‘ma'â€", rauding” give living testi-‘ upon our language. There was a time when these were regarded as dubiousEnglish, But they .were ac- quired by campaigns of British troops abroad, and they stuck tast,‘ despite the fact that there werei purists in those days, as there are i now, to oppose their admission to l the lists of the verbally elect. ‘l It will not do for us to go back to f the origin of every word we use and I insist on employing it only in its‘ classic sense. If we did, we should be in trouble half the time. It would make us weep, for example, to read of a “dilapidated” wooden building, and we should have no humor in our language at all, for the ‘ very word “humor” has been so twisted in its travels as to be no! longer recognizable. Originally, it' was full brother of “humid,” and as such would be descriptive of only a; small part of our humor of to-day. : The perplexities of a prominent Belgian 'over the expressed intention of the Americans to “can the kaiser” , are recent history. The London Post has been, having as much amusement out of its conception of the phrase as a description of an intention to “seal the German Emperor hermeti- cally in a tin receptacle” as it it had hit nearer the mark, and “Reedy’s Mirror has been led to recall a sim- ilarly mistaken deduction of Andrew Lang’s that a “Jag" is an American appurtenance or convenience of daily “y u. uvâ€"wâ€"v- , -_ , life. He had been reading about a man who “came home carrying his jar: with him.” How many such errors have been perpetuated by the philologists in the past it is impos- sible for us to determine, but the number probably is_ very large. ,,L __A‘j “um ”‘41 I! vvvvvv d â€"... Some of our words of present good a repute we are reasonably certain? about, however. One of these is“ liaison, which we have accepted in' three senses, culinary, phonetic, and! amatory, and to which still another meaning has been given by the op- erations of this war. An ofl’ioer de liaison is one charged with the duty of linking the various units of a mili- tary expedition. The new use clings as closely to the root meaning as we have done in applying the word to a thickening for use in soups, or to th= juncture of two words or to a parti- cularly intimate association of man and woman. Flight Lieutenant Rosher, of the ‘ British air service, wrote a book shortly before he was killed in which he listed the new words coined by the men in the aviation corps. One of these was “spikebozzle,” to under- stand which one needs only to have a 1 bit of the connecting text. The zep- pelins raided London and the airâ€" planes went up to spikeboozle them. It is all as clear as can be. The word does not need to look for an- cestor, and probably would look in vain. - But it is not so with “hick- boo,” which in the aviation corps means an impending visitation by enemy dirigibles. It has been tracâ€" ed to an Indian word for eagle, and perhaps the Indians got it from some mispronunciation of the white man’s language. Not many true Indian words have survived to become parts of our speech. _ â€" ‘ ~â€"â€" k---:“fl trouble with “attaboy.” Having heard it used as a greeting by Cana- dian soldiers, they have had it ex- plained to them that it is a short form of “at her, boy!” and have given, their own “au travail, garcon,” as an approximate equivalent. This is chiefly interesting as evidence that the French are trying sincerely, and with their accustomed politeness, to enter into the spirit of our slang. It is one of the little things that help to ; draw the bonds tighter. We would be likely to have more trouble com- prehending theirs, for it commonly is long over “poilu,” the French term of aflection fOr the common soldier. “Hairy one,” in the sense that one has neglected to shave or cut one’s hair, does not define it fully. There is a certain association of luxuriant hirsute adornment, especially among virile peoples, with great physical strength, which is the compliment 7*-â€"- mt..." “.‘Uubbu, vv may the French seek to bestow. They are not poking fun at the soldier for his carelessness as to appearance, but are paying tribute to his prowess, though by indirection, when they call him a "‘poilu.” ,_ J -A-,, Having taken over “commandeer” from the South African War, first as a bit of English slang and then as a word so reputable that the Govern- ment may employ it; having adopted “hike,” and being willing to con- cede that every housewife is “doing her bit” when she saves food or knits socks for the soldier, we are prepar- ed to go so far as need be in the great democratization of language. It will not be done in a day, or by a rule, and no one can forecast lwhich words will be retained and l which rejected. This is a matter of I time and of not particularly discrim- i inating taste. Some words have a '; way of sticking, and that is all that 1113121115 Luaw. ~-_- ---__~ way of sticking, and that is all that Ironing Velvet. I can be said about them.

What the Brain Does When the Sleepy Member Stays Abed. Early to bed and early to rise Will make a man healthy, wealthy and wise. The proper time to riseâ€"it we could only make up our minds to itâ€"is when sleep properly ends. Dozing is not ad- missible from any reasonable or health point of view. The brain falls into the state we call sleep. and the other organs of the body follow it. True sleep is the aggregate of sleeps. In other words. sleep. which must be a natural function, is a state which consists in the sleeping or restl of all the several parts of the organ-ll ism. Sometimes one and at other times ‘ another part of the body may be fa- tigued. and so the last to awake, or the .most exhausted and therefore the most difficult to arouse. The secret of good sleep is the' physi- ological conditions of rest being estab- lished so to work and weary the sev- eral parts of the organism as to give them a preportionatelyequal need of rest at the same moment. The cere- brum. or mind organ. the sense organs. the muscular system and the internal organs-all should be ready to sleep to- gether. and they should be equally tired. I HERE’S A MOTORCOAT. To awake early and feel ready to rise is a point gained. and the wise self manager should not allow a drowsy feeling of the consciousness. or weary senses. or an exhausted muscular sys- tem to tempt him into the folly of go- ing asleep again when one’s consciousv ness has been aroused.
