overcome by constructing a railway

MEANING OF 1 HE WORD CAD.
What Writara and Lcalcog rap bars Hay
on the baujact.
"Speaking - of words, did you ever
atop to think about the meaning and
origin of tbe word 'cad, which we now
use to slur a man," said a man wbo
takes an interest In the atody of words
In tbe New Orleans Tlmea Iiemocrat.
"If you have not a few moments with
some good book on the subject of
words, tbelr origin and meaning, will
prove worth your while, 'fid' Is still
used very largely In what'we may call
Its low English sense, though In Its
purer signification, if we glance for a
moment at words Intimately related
(0 It, few words should have a purer
meaning. Brothers, tbe younger broti
er, for instance, bring up sugesiloiis
that are not only pure, but poetic and
ennobling. Hut we take the other view
of 'cad,' the Pickens' view. If we may
accept Webster's reference, 'a person
who stands at the door of -an omul
bus to open and shut it, and to -receive
fares; au Idle hanger-on about
Inn yards,' or even the still worse defi
nition of a low-bred, presuming per
son, a mean, vulgar fellow."
In a "general these definitions
find ready acceptance In the modern
mind. Thette arc the things we mean
hen we call a man a Vad." Of course
we followed tbe llu'linti In this os In
many other matters In connection with
the language. Hut why shouldn't we
hold on to some of the purer signfl
cance of the word? 'Cad' Is the short
way of saying Vadle,' which means
'errand boy' or 'boy,' and which lu turn
may be traced to 'cadet," which means
a younger brother,' 'a little (or young
er) bead." Cadet fn this country means.
!n Its military sense, something quite
different of course. 'Cad' will suggest
to us, too, the words 'cadaver' aud 'ca
daverous' are more Intimately related
to the poetic- word, 'cadence,, which
in turn is from Yadere,' 'to fall' or 'to
fall dead.' These observations are
more sidelights.
If we were Inclined to be frivolous,
in this connection, we might Insist that
'cad" waa related to 'cadaver,' and .bat
therefore the 'end' was 'a dead one.'
Hut there Is a more substantial, and
yet gentler side to the question., the
one wldcb has to do with the poetry'
and the romance of the language, with
its changes, and offxlioots resulting
from the progress we make, and the
new demands which must needs twist
words out of tbelr old' places In tbe
vocabulary."

Tbe Rocket was the Invention of
George Pfcpbenson, wbose activities ia

premium of 500 -omuls for tha tHst
locomotive, offered by -tl Liverpool
A Mnncltester Kallway. It was by no
11. cans tbe first of Its kiad, but "waa
the first to be used In a regular pas
senger servicer. . In its trials In 1K.H
It won the pria, attaining a maxlbtuut
sliced of Z) miles an hour, and main
taining an average speed of 15 miles
throughout. This was a moat extraor
dinary performance, when It Is coa
sidered that one of tbe first engines
built at the Newcastle Works where
the itocket was made only beat a stags
coach by 100 yards In a race. - '
"I don't reineuiler tlie time "we
made," aays Mr. Entwlatle In .speak
ing about the trip. "The Hocket pulled
five coaches. They were smsll affairs
and looked much like stage coaches oa
wheels. Eneh coach contained Uirea
seats, each accommodating three peo
ple, making nine -to a coach. Teopla
rode on tbe tops, however, and, hung
ou Die slelea of the coaches, so fhnt
In all 7.1 jieraons rode that day. Tboo
sands of jmtsous were llnetl up along
the railroad track on botb sides to wit
iicss.tbs slrange nerformaiice." .
The road was fonually 'opefied fuc
