THE WORD “MOB.” How It Worked It* Way Into the English Ln it iruiikv. The word "mob” is an abbreviation. It is nothing but a fragment of the full Latlu original "mobile vulgus” — "the tickle common people.” First the noun “vulgus” was dropped. "Mobile,” coming into common use, was iu a few years cut down to “mob.” By Swift it was abominated to his dying day as a peculiarly odious kind of slang. Addison sympathized with this feeling. In No. 135 of tlie Spectator "mob” is put down by him as one of the ridiculous words which he fears will in time be looked upon as part of the speech. There must have been then a host of minor defenders of the purity of our tongue who bewailed its increasing use and pointed to that fact as evidence of the growing degeneracy of the language. But the assailed form stoutly held its ground and outlived its eensurers. Addison’s fears have been realized. The- abbreviation has thoroughly established itself. Accordingly a word which their predecessors stigmatized as a corruption of the vilest kind is now used unhesitatingly by the most precise of modern Jurists. The reason of its prevalence is obvious. It came to supply a very genuine want. There Is no other single word that conveys definitely the idea of a particular sort of riotous assemblage.—Harper’s. BY HOOK OR BY CROOK. An Ancient Phraae That Haw Many Phnnea of Meuning, The phrase "by hook or by crook’ may simply refer to an ancient custom which allowed persons to collect for fuel dead wood in the king's forest such as they could break off and remove with "cart, hook and crook.” Some trace its significance "by foul means or by fair” to the contrasted uses of the footpad’s hook or the bishop’s crook. Others remind us of the expression In very early days “by buke »’er krooke”—that is. by bending the knees and cringing low. Another plausible explanation is that after the great fire of London disputes as to ownership of land were settled by two surveyors whose names were Hook and Crook. Quite different is the view taken by those who tell us that when Strongbow sailed for Ireland he Instructed bls men to make their attack by Hook, a promontory northeast of Waterford, or by Crook, a harbor on the south coast. , In any case, the phrase is very old. for It was used by Bacon (1550), b, Skelton, the poet laureate (1500), and by Chaucer nearly 600 years ago.— Pearson’s. LUNAR SCENERY. Its Appearance Proves the Mona's Lack of Air and Water. It Is by indirect methods of observation that scientists learn of the absence of atmosphere in the moon. There are various arguments that can be adduced, but the most conclusive is that obtained on the occurrence of what Is called the occultation of a star. It sometimes happens that the moon comes directly between the earth and a star, and the temporary extinction of the latter is an occultation. We can observe the movement when It takes place, and the suddenness of the extinction of the star is extremely remarkable. If the moon had a copious atmosphere, the gradual interposition ot this would produce a gradual extinction of the star and not the sudden phenomenon usually observed. This absence of air and water from the moon explains the peculiar and weird ruggedness of the lunar scenery. We know that on the earth the action of the wind and of rain, of frost and of snow is constantly tending to wear down our mountains aud reduce their bard outlines, but no such ageuts are at work upon the moon. A Typical D<»nuparte. Princess Mathilde was a typical Bonaparte. Beneath the skin of a grande dame there dwelt the soul of a vivandiere. She was generous and tempestuous. Something of a butt In her prime, as a certain rather pronounced passage In Lord Malmesbury's reminiscences shows, she was universally admitted at the same time to possess taste and a knowledge of the arts. It was to her credit, too, that she cared not a snap of her fingers for dynastic disputes. She was on the friendliest of terms with the Due d’Aumale and is said to have tried, hnt In vain, to conciliate some of the stiffer branches of the puzzle Leaded Bourbon family. Altogether, she was a woman who lived every moment of her life.— London Outlook. Is Brate Creation Wlsert Every living bird and beast strives Its utmost to cram Itself with food before retiring for the night, and this food la digested as the night progresses. The evening feed is the feed of the day with the brute creation, and yet doctors tell us to refrain from eating heartily at night and even advise us to retire to rest with a more or lesa empty stomach. Are we following nature when following this advice?—English Country Gentleman. Too Good to Mlaa. “I suppose tlie hero and heroine of that story get married in the lust chapter?" she said. “No, divorced,” replied her friend. “Oh, bow lovely! Will you let me borrow it when you get through?”— Exchange. Pleased at Last. "Was your lust mistress satisfied with you?” Servant—Well. mum. she said she was very well pleased when I left-Btruy Stories.
