The rumours that The Morning Post is about to be merged in The Winning Post, and that Mr. MAXSE is starting an evening paper, to be called The Job and Caviller, are extremely interesting, but need to be received with a certain amount of caution.

BABLINGO.
It has been suggested to me that the time has come for a comprehensive investigation of the interesting language known as Bablingo. Materials for this are ready for use in every home that still possesses a nursery with an inmate not more than two years of age. I must premise that it is the inmate's mother and the inmate's nurse, not the actual inmate, who use the language. Some day, no doubt, there will arise an investigator who will reduce to order and catalogue the inchoate efforts of an infant to make itself understood by talking. These efforts are doubtless of high interest to the etymologist, but the difficulties of the task are at present too great, and in any case I am not the man to undertake it.
