THOSE whose knowledge of French is limited to the word "monsieur, and they are legion, may, after reading the following remarks on that word in a French paper, at least congratulate them selves that they pronounce it rightly. Others, again, to whom "depuis," "Neuilly," and such words offer insuperable obstacles, will be sur prised to learn that the pronunciation of "mon- sicur" is a sort of Parisian shibboleth. It was no: till the Fifteenth century that "monsieur" was evolved from meum seniorem. At this time the ending was fully pronounced with its r, as in "sieur" nowadays; but when the word ceased death resulted from concussion of the spinal gregation "bagged" him, and now he billiard them.
