AMERICAN TITLES.
A NONSENSICAL HABIT THAT PROM-.
ISES TO CONTINUE FOREVER.
The Afiixes and Prefixes of Our Names May
Properly be Designated as “Flum-
mery,” and Give an Excellent Opportu-
nity for National Reform. ,
Why do we write “Esq.” after a
man’s name or “Mr.” before it in ad
dressing :1 letter? Why do we write
“Dear Sir” even in addressing the
veriest stranger? Why do we sub-
scribe ourselves to all correspondents
as .“Yours truly," or other words to
that meaningless efiect?”
We do none of these things in tele-
grams, yet we do not feel that we are
discourteous to John Jones when we
address him by telegraph only as John
Jones and sign our names at the end
of the despatch Without any flourish
of words. Why should We not-{be as
direct, sim‘pie' and truthful” .in our
letters as in -..ourvtelegrams_?fl' ‘ '
All these pracices are survivals
from an age, of. leisure, extravagance
and servility of mind. They "are now
an absurdity and a costly one. More
than three billiOn letters are written
every year in the United States. Al-
lowing half a minute as the time con-
sumed in writing “Dear 811'” and
“Yours truly” inside and “Mr.” or
“Esq.” outside of each of these letters,
and allowing 300 working days of ten
hours each to the year, the people of
the United States waste in this way
8,333 years of time every year. In
other words we actually waste the
whole time of more than 8,000 persons
in writing “Dear Sir,” “Yours truly,”
“Mr.” and “Esq.” At the lowest cal-
culation the time thus wasted each
year is worth ten millions of dollars,
or half a river and a harbor bill.
The sole purpose of the superscrip-
tion on a letter is to tell the postoffice
people to whom and where to deliver
it. All that is necessary for that pur-
pose is to write the name and address.
“J. Wintersmith, 34 John street, New
York City,” completely fills the re-
quirement. All else is wasted. There
is no occasion to tell the postman that
J. Winter-smith is a clergyman by writ-
ing “Rev.” before his name. or that he
is a woman and unmarried by writ-
ing “Miss” there, or is married or has
been, by writing “Mrs.”
But we have worse habits than
these. In addition to the meaningless
“Mr.” and the absurd “Esq.” we are
constantly addressing men as “Hon.”
of “Col.” or “Rev.” Why do we do
it? As every little politician who gets
himself elected an Alderman or a
member of the Legislature is hence-
forth called “Hon,” why should any-
body think it a requirement of cour-
tesy to address so justly distinguished
ample. :rs “Hon. W. L. TVilson, for ex-
ample. as “Hon W. L. W'ilson?” W’e
do not “peak of Hon. Thomas Jefferson
of Ho". Daniel Webster.
Military titles are necessary in mili-
tary life.
a Colonel in the field an indication of
rank helps to find him, and perhaps
it helps discipline too. But why should
we go on calling; men Colonel, Gen-
eral, Major and the like long after
they have retired to civil life, merely
because they held such rank in the
volunteer forces of thirty odd years
ago or because some Governor has ap-
pointed them to his staff? We do not
speak or think of General George
Washington or General Hannibal or
General Julius Caesar. ‘
Still worse is the title gratuitously
conferred, the “honorary” title of
Colonel and the like. There are tens
of thousands of “Colonels” in this
country who never commanded a
squad, and “Judges” who never sat
on any bench or read a page of law.
It is all falsehood and flummery.
As an honest self~respecting people,
why should we not rid ourselves of it?“
“Mr.” is convenient when the first
name of the person addressed or re-
ferred to is not used. So are “Mrs.”
and “Miss” in like circumstances. All
the rest are “leather or prunella,”
which is the poet’s phrase for stuff
and nonsense—New York W'orld.
Not Considered Good Evidence.
It is claimed that photographic cop-
ies of an original are not acceptable
as proof before a court inasmuch as
the photographs may easily be ex-
changed to, suit the wish. Expert
picture dealers can take a photograph
and by various processes secure a
composite containing several features
desired that did not exist in the orig-
inal. A photographer Of note says
that it is an easy matter to change
photographs. Pictures can be made
to show the body of one person with
the head of another; or, it is possible
to insert certain features desired in
a photograph. The producers of art
photographs often use the form of
one subject and the head of another,
in order to obtain the most symmetri-
cal results. and thus form a sort of
composite picture. “By the use of ni-
tric acid,” he says, “any part of the
silver print photograph, the one com-
monly used, can be erased. If the
picture were a platinum print, which
is unlikely, the same effect could be
secured by the use of aqunregia, or
a liquid composed of a mixture of ni-
tric and muriatic acids, which acts
as a solvent for gold or platinum
prints.” It was shown that original
signatures could be erased and others
pasted or copied therefrom, and then
a. photograph taken from which it
would seem that the result was a per-
fect photograph of an original paper.

Another story of the ,late Eugene
Field’s irrepressible love of joking
He and his wife had entered a'street
car, to find all the seats taken save
one at, each end of the car, and they
seated themselves accordingly.
When the conductor collected the
fares Mr. Feld announced in audi-
ble tones, as he gave him a dime, at
the same time pointing to the far end
of the car: “That is to pay the fare
of the lady over there—the one wear-
ing the new, beautiful brown silk
dress.” '
All eyes were turned to her, and her
prettyface ‘took a most becoming rose
color, but baclg of the reproving
glances she threw him was one of
mingled indulgence, appreciation and
mirth at the unexpected and appar-
ently truthful. announcement.

Fast Germ‘an' Express Trains.
Germany’s _ railways, which are
owned by the government, are more
progressive than the average Ameri-
can traveller abroad finds reason to
suppose. One German express train
covers 881 miles in twenty-two and a
half hours, a mean speed, including
stops, of 39.1 miles an hour, which is
comparable avith some of the best
American long-distance express runs.
An express running between Berlin
and Hamburg, covers 1761/; miles in
three hours'and thirty-six minutes, a
mean speed 0149.1 miles an hour.
