BOME OF THE CURIOSITIES OF THE |
"HEAR SPLITTING JARGON."
Musicians Say It Has an Affinity With the |
Notes of Birds -No Alphabet and No |
Parts of Speech - Some Amusing Exo. -
5 ples of Chinese Talk.
~The superficial observer often refers to
the Chinese spoken rpeech as an “esr
splitting jargom” anil to the written |
speech as ‘‘hieroglyphics.” Frequent vis-
itors to any “Chinese quarter,” notably
8 large “Chinatown” like that of Los |
Angeles, will soon become so familinr |
: with this so called jargon as to note that
it is far moore musical than the English
speech. Musicians are anthority for the |
statement that the Chinese language has
more affinity (when spoken) with the
notes of birds than with the tones of any
other language. Thisis perhaps because
the Chinese, having tio alphabet, must
have many tone combinations to give
_ the various expressions and meanings to |
the thousands of characters.
Having no alphabet, the Chinese lan-
guage has more symbols than all of the |
_ alphabets in the universe com bined, and
there are more tone combinations for the
expression of those symbols than in all -
other tongues. Each tone is attached to
a character, and one character is made
to mean several different things, accord-
ing to the tone used.

out the sound long and even he is eall-
Wg some hoodlum a “goose.” He gives
the falling inflection to the first xyliaile,
and the rising inflection to the last, and
in a rather musical voice. This would
be a difficult feat for an American,
Ni» matter in what mood he may be, Le
may not and perhaps cannot change the |
accent. The voice may be louder or in
a minor key, bat the tones are as inflexi- |
ble sis written words and must be so used,
or the exact meaning is lost. All the
_ expressions of human passions—laagh- |
ter or sorrow —must be expressed by the
samo inflexible words and precise ac-
cents. There are only five tones. in the
Chizeso voice, but as every word has all
of its syllables accented there are 23 per-
mutations, and these are almost always
in constant use, even in ordinary conver. |
sation. A question may be asked with
or without a rising inflection, according
‘to the word used.
¢ Chinese adjectives are nouns. For
“many thanks” it is ‘thank thank.” A
- “great man” is “greatness man.” Some-
times a noun is formed of a noun and a
werb, as “barber,” whom they call “‘shave-
bead teacher.” The verbs have neither
moods nor tenses, and when your laun-
dryroan wishes to tell you that “I have
washed” he says, “I pass over wash.”
'. Their adverbs are mostly formed by join-
ing er nouns and verbs, as ‘finish
day” for ‘‘yesterday.” To cook is to “eat
rice,” Every noun is plural and includes
all there is of that article, unless it is
~~ Mamited by the expression ‘‘one piece,” us
“, pune piece house.” Instead of “wife and
chililren” they express ‘family and wife.”
The word woman means *‘father man.”
If repeated, it signifies “scolding.” The
noun always remains in the same shape,
and the verb has but one form instead of
the many known to the English lan-
- guage. The Chinese language has no de-
‘clensions, subjugations, moods, tenses,
prepositions, conjunctions, adverbs, first,
second and third persons, no singular |
. and plural, and no gender except by the
addition of a few participles in rare in- |
stances. It is evidently simple and easy
to learn, one of the simplest and most |
curious things about it being, as above
stated, that every noun, unless qualified
. otherwise, is plural. :
There are about 60,000 characters used
ip the Chinese language proper, but the |
average Chinaman no more learns all of
those characters than the everyday
American learns the 100,000 words in the
English language. The Chinaman, how-
ever, learns on the average more than
does an American in a similar position
jn life. A Chinaman who can neither
read mor write is a rarity. Chinese is
not a monosyllabic language, as many
, and it is impossible to utter in
Chinese any but the shortest sentences in
monosyllables.
Im writing the Chinaman makes one
ed but integral character for
Som
each word, but that word may be prop- |
«erly spoken in two, three or four sylla-
"bles. His syllables are divided by no
longer intervals than are his words, and
that is what makes his language sound
en, a foreigner like a singsong jargon.
\ 4 do not know whether he is telling a
sory or attempting a song. The Chinese |
- perhaps think the same thing of an Amer- |
ican, who bites off his words and swal-
lows them or telescopes one into another. |
Business men in this city thrown in
contact with Chinese merchants, who |
- gpeak pure Chinese say that it isnot diff- |
eunlt to learn. Instead of 28 letters, not |
‘including the useless &, the Chinese |
have 500 or 600 syllables, and these are |
corabined into various forms to make the
. 80,000 words in their “dictionary.” Thisse |
_. syllables vary in meaning according to
the tone in which they are spoken or the
. strokes used in writing them —Los Au.

Only Limited Immunity From Smallpox,

M. Schrevens of Tournay, in a recent
report to the Academie de Medecine de

ing ap its mind to bring before the les.
lature a law on chiizatory vaccination.
He shows that in spite of the creation by
