THE BIRTH OF WORDS
ODD ORIGIN OF SOME OF OUR FA
MILIAR EXPRESSIONS
Tht Ilituae That Brought About the
Word Haberdnnhcr Lullaby
Orlnrlnnted With the Arabian Moth
ers WliereSlIioiictte Came From
There are -words nil frequently use
whose histories and derivations are
quaint and peculiar The schooner is
comparatively a modern craft and is a
prouuee or lanicee ingenuity a uiuir
old New England skipper Captain An
drew Robinson who probably brought
more slaves to the colonies than mo
lasses and other common importations
one day came to the conclusion that he
could rig a boat that would be an im
provement on the craft then in use for
coastwise shipping Being supersti
tious as most seafaring people are he
determined to let chance name his new
boat There were many spectators at
the launching some shaking their
heads dubiously others ridiculing and
then others believing In the invention
of the old captain As the boat left the
stays she plunged her nose into the
water came up again like a cork and
skimmed over the water like a bird
A burst of admiration broke from the
crowd and one of the onlookers ex
claimed See how she schoons Cap
tain Robinson reverently taking the
cue said Then scooner let her be
and scooner she litis been ever since
with the exception of the letter h
which generally manages somehow to
get into words where it is not needed
Another curious word which has a
significant and historical origin is sil
houette Although this word is some
what un English still It comes under
the general appropriation which the
English speaking people made of ev
erything that would serve them One
Silhouette was minister of state of
France in 1S59 a critical noriod with
that country financially which came
near culminating in national bank
ruptcy Silhouette is represented as
being a very wise and sagacious man
and in politics he would now be termed
a reformer
Silhouette and his doctrines became
the butt of all the wits of Paris and
many a jest was perpetrated on the
minister of state under the very nose
of Silhouette With serious faces but
laughing inwardly persons wore short
coats without sleeves and many other
extravagances of a like nature were
committed among which was one of
particular note which created a great
deal of merriment at the time in fact
so much so that it has been handed
down to us together with the name of
the great reformer as being the climax
of the pranks of the Parisian wits AH
of the portraits were made in black to
represent a profile of the face and bust
similar to a shadow cast upon a white
paper by the aid of a strong light
The youth speaks of going to his
haberdasher This word is among
that class that owe their origin to one
the most common nf snm poe w
rn The nti t -I
corruption small shopkeepers of
uermany bad a custom in past ages of
standing In the doors of their shops
and inviting an inspection of their
wares Their common salutation to ev
ery passerby who had the appearance
of being in the least susceptible was
Habt ihr das herr Have you this
sir which was one may readily im
agine corrupted into haberdasher by
luym ami constant repetition
Another word exchequer has a
peculiar derivation In the time of the
old Normans there was established a
court of equity or claims before which
were settled the claims
of the king up
on the people the claims of the people
upon the king and the claims of the
people upon the people Before the
judge or presiding officer of this court
was a table upon which
was a check
ered cloth similar to a chessboard
which was used as an assistant in
counting and to observe this court in
session it had the nrmpnrin n
game of checkers and so by common
usage it became the court of ex
chequer
The word quiz is purely an acci
dent or more properly speaking the
result of an Irishmans joke and In
reamy nas no meaning A wager was
made between some students of an old
university that one of them could not
invent a new word which in twenty
four hours would be the talk of all
Dublin There was much laughter at
the expense of the would be coiner of
the new word but next morning upon
rising the new word was at the ex
pense of the scoffers for the letters
quiz were posted on every wall and
available space in Dublin and thus
the word became the talk of the town
and has since remained exactly what
it was when it was invented a riddle
There is a word In our language
which correctly speaking means noth
ing whatever although Its relative
meaning is familiar and dear to all
Who Is there In whom the word lulla
by does not stir some of the tenderest
and dearest recollections This word
lullaby comes to us in sweet con
trast as a myth from the starry plains
of Arabia polished and rounded by
the roll of the
eternal ages As a con
sequence of Lilith Adams consort
rormicg an alliance with the evil spirit
and thus fallinsr from crraro in th
course of time the name Lilith became
ctreaded and many fearful deeds were
attributed to her so much so the Ara
bian mother never dare leave her slum
bering child without commanding
Lilith to be gone and to do the little
one no harm The Arabic nhrase in
variably used had the sound of Lilith
a by As time progressed this was
taken up and made the burden of the
crooning drowsy hummlngs of a
mother sinking her baby to sleep and
has finally come down to us as the
sweet soft lullaby New York
