1 Autumn Draws Near
And already there is a brisk demand in some
departments for medium weight goeds just a
little heavier than the flimsy summer things
that have been in vogue for the past few
months.
Of course, we'll have warm weather yet
and lots of it but we'll have cool days and
chilly nights quite frequently from now right
on till fall, and that's why people who live
carefully are anxious to protect themselves
against these N sudden changes that come as a
thief in the night and often work havoc with
the strongest constitutions.

WORN OUT METAPHORS.
That Is What Language Is When
You Analyze It.
Geo. It, KIttredge In Harper's Mngiizlne.
The overwhelming conventionality df
language, as well ns Its poetic quality,
may be seen by taking nt random al
most any bit of colorless prose and
studying Its derivations. We shall find
It a conglomerate of worn-out meta
phors. We all talk poetry without
knowing It, and mix our figures with
out scruple. Take, for Instance, the
phrase "arguments founded on correct
derivation." Argument conies from a
Latin verb that means literally "to
make clear," and Is ultimately refer
able to a root signifying "bright,"
"shining" the same that we have In
nrgent. "silver" (the bright or shining
metal). Found Is connected with the
Latin fundus, "bottom," Correct goes
back to a root which means "straight."
Derivation Is connected with rlvus,
"brook," "stream," and comes from n
root signifying to "flow": to derive Is
literally to "flow from such and such
n source." Thus In thin single phrase
wo have effete metaphors of brightness,
foundation, strnlghtness, and (lowing.
Jt would sound absurd to speak of "a
clearlng-up that has Its foundation on
n strnlghtened down-llowlng"; yet we
say "arguments founded on correct de
rivation" without u tremor, merely be
cause our language has forgotten the
figurative character of the words, and
employs them as conventional signs for
plain prosalo ideas.
To convince is literally to conquer;
to defend Is to ward off, Jo shove away;
to amputate Is to prune round (a vino);
to solve Is to loose; to deter Is to
scare away; to debate Is to light It out;
to respect Is to look hack; to discuss
Is to shake, apart; to distract Is to tear
or drag 'asunder or away. Circum
stances means literally "things that
stand nrotuul one," yet "under these
circumstances," and we oven say "un
der tho following circumstances" with
out hesitation. Language cannot got
ulong without such vugue words, which
hnve, lost all their sharpness of Im
print, nnd servo rather us counters of
tho game than as coin of dellnito vulue,
