Americanisms,
Probably very few of our readers
are aware how many of the words in
current use in this country are pure
Americanisms— unknown in •Eng-
land. An Englisluntm in. America,
like a Yaiikee in England, finds him-
self often' puzzled by the woids
heard in fAiliar speech. We will
mention a few of the most striking
of these :

where everything co al fbe purchased..
Calico—This word in England
'means any cottoncloth-=usually
white.
Fix -,—In England this Word is
never "used in the sense of putting

Bogus—An American word, and
a very convenient one, too. We
are compelled to admit that the op-
