The "ine" Of It

Well, we'll be biest ! If they haven't gone into the " ne " business ou diseases! There is to be no more citolera, but herenfieryou must term it "cholerine." First, the pirls commenced the "ie " craze, aod every name given tbe feminine sex enJed with tbose two letters. The jood old wholeome names of Mary and Sarah were changed to Matie and Satie, Ellen was called Nellie, and so on ad Iujinitum. Then tbe patent advertisers always having an eye to boMMM, caught up the idea, and with the help of an n we were told of the wonderful properties of " dentine," "eoaline," " bandaline," " gasoline," "bottine," " cosmoline," etc, etc., whiletbemercl)antsparaded"brilliantine," "bombazine," and "grenadine." Then produce deakrá put their wits togetherand oleomargarine and butterine sprang into existence. Now the doctors have taken it up. They have commenced with " cholerine." Next we ïaay expect beadachine, diphthirine, scarlatine, colicine, etc, on through theenormous list of Latín phrases for the lis, aches and paina that flesh is heir to. Wonder what chss of professional or mercantile people will " ine " us next. One thing is certaiD, it will be awkward and difficult for newspaper men to adopt it. They couldn't induce advertisers to take a colutun-ine, or improve the paper by a brilliant lecal ine dopartment; and the editor who would sit down and write a vigorous editorial-ine, would be a queer sort of a chap. They will either.be obliged to adopt some new terminal combination or keep right along with the present honiely phrases.
