HUMORiSTS ODD GRAMMAR
CapisTn Derby Provided Literally For
Figurative Expression
Among the pieces which made up
the quaint output of Captain Derby
whose too early death deprived Ameri
ca of one of the most original humor
ists was one entitled A New Sjstiiu
of Engish Jrauimur It seems never
to have attracted much attention but
though there are in the volume con
taining it articles more broadly amus
ing there are none in which wit and
wisdom are more fully blended After
the lapse of years the exict words and
the particular illustrations employed
escape me in part but the line of rea
soning adopted will not vary material
ly from what is about to be given
The humorist proposed to have all
descriptions and epithets marked on a
sufficient scale of comparison wot the
beggarly three to which we are now
limited but to a number large enough
to indicate every variation of charac
ter in the object under consideration
and every possible degree of human
conception in regard to its nature The
lowest conceivable amount of any hu
man quality consistent with its being
at all would be indicated by 1 Its
maximum would be represented by
100 Here then would be a wide
range between the perfection of the
idea expressed by the one number and
Its bare existence merely implied by the
other as well as the feelings of the
speaker about it in which all shades
of thought and feeling would be fit
tingly represented By prefixing to
each epithet a figure between 1 and
100 the precise truth in regard to it as
it appears to him uttering it would be
conveyed to him hearing it For ex
ample you are asked about your
health Instead of replying pretty
well tolerably well very well or some
other ambiguous expression you would
say bearing in mind that 100 indicates
perfect health I am 15 or 50 or 75 or
90 well or any other number as the
case may be By this means the in
quirer learns definitely what he wants
to know lie has not been put off with
formulas of speech whose general ap
plicability to different conditions of
bodily health conveys nothing precise
to the mind The moment this meth
od of expression comes into general
use we shall speedily become exact
mathematical truth telling in the high
est degree
How well the rule would work can
be best illustrated by the narrative of
a simple incident of news communicat
ed by a man to his friend in some such
words as these
On a 70 fine morning I was 55
slowly walking down the 33 clean ave
nue when I chanced to meet the 22
young and S5 charming Miss Smith
about whom you ask We at once ex
changed the 91 usual meteorological
observation It Is a 7G beautiful day
I remarked Indeed it is a 95 beauti
ful day she renlied and I am 97 glad
loTnifvo met you for It Is a Ion
time since I have seen you I felt 77
flattered by words like these coming
from a 79 Iovel3 girl but proceeded to
make the 71 usual Inquiries about her
health for I knew that on that point
you had been S9 anxious She told me
in reply that it had been 78 poor but
she was 1C0 glad to say that it was
now S7 good Professor J E Louns

A Large Salary
Mr X a prominent lawyer of Phil
adelphia was much addicted to the
habit of lecturing Lis office staff and
the office boy came in for an unusual
share of admonition whenever occa

Blenheim
A very famous victory was that of
Blenheim which is our corruption of
Blindheim the village on the upper

heir the present Duke of Marlborough

The Comparative Method
Theodore had twice been sent to
wash his hands and was now return

My child said his mother compar

right is just as dirty as your left
What have you been doing all this
time
Why mamma explained the youth
last time you said that my left hand
was cleaner than my right so I tried
to make them even Ill go again
