Annoying Gaps In English Language That Cause Inconveniences, The English language may fairly claim to be the most prolific in the world. Not content with its native riches, it possesses in a special degree the faculty of assimilating everything useful from other tongues, ancient and modern. It ought indeed to be the most perfect vehicle of thought in the world, and in some respects no doubt it is. But, curiously enough, there are de ficlencies in English not to be found in far less copious languages. While in many cases we have half a dozen words expressing the same or prac tically the same thing, there are, on the other hand, certain ideas that have no appropriate words to express them. In the words denoting relationship some notable gaps are found. The most glaring instance is the want of a word to distinguish between a male and female cousin., Other languages, such as French and Italian, have a sep arate word for each, but in English some addition or explanation is re quired in order to make it clear which sex is intended. : Curious gaps occur here and there in our language if we look into it. The word “show” expresses the idea of making to see, but there is no word for making to hear—a phonograph, for ex ample. “I took the phonograph to my friend and”— What? “Got him to listen to it” would probably be the in elegant finish to the sentence. On the other hand, “audience” means those who hear and applies very well to those present in a lecture hall or con cert room. But what of those who see a cricket match, for instance? “Spec tators” is the nearest word, br't it does not correspond exactly to “auélence.” There is one deficlency in the lan guage 80 awswaiwand Irritating that even at this late hour it ought to be made good. Need it be said that refer ence is made to indiscriminate use of the personal pronoun to denote either the person speaking or the person spoken of? This may not be a defect peculiar to English, but it #s one from which the ancient classical tongues are entirely free. “He said he had offered him money, which he had declined,” would be quite comprehensible either in Greek or Lat in, but in English it necessitates a num ber of bracketed explanations which are positively annoying and destructive of grace and fluency.—London An swers, A Natural Mistake, “l was just telling our friend here, Molly, that it was storming on the day of our marriage.” “Surely not, Hiram! The weather was perfectly lovely!” “Well, well! I don’t know how I got so mixed up about it—probably because it's been storming ever since!”—Atlanta Constitution, She Knew Her Dad, Smithers—Do you know any one who has a horse to sell? She—Yes: I suspect old Brown has. Smithers—Why? SBhe—Well, papa sold him one yester day.—London Punch. Sincerity is the basis of all true friendship. Without sincerity it is like a ship without ballast.
