“PELL-MELL"
O DO something pell-mell Is to do
It In indiscriminate baste and con
fusion. The expression Is commonly
used In every day speech, but the per
son la rare who understands the al-
I us I od with the knowledge o f how It
started.
The expression comes t^u s from the
old English game o f pall mall or pall
mall, which was Introduced during the
reign o f Charles I, and subsequent
ly became very popular In England.
A game In which a ball was drlveD
with a mallet, and taking Its name
from the Italian “ palla magllo," palla
meaning ball and “ m agllo" hammer.
In quick pronunciation pall mall be
came “ pell mell” and It was from the
fact that under certain circumstances
In the game, the playegs would rush
headlong at the ball that such heed
less, hasty activity came to be de
scribed as "pell-mell.“ And though
the game which brought It Into exist
ence has served Its time and passed
out o f the picture, the expression
“ pell-mell" has survived In modern
speech.

WHY
WE
LOSE INTEREST
E G E T Interested, but we don't
stay Interested. W e lose Inter
est either temporarily or permanently,
taking on new Interests and casting
them off as wornout clothes. Some
Interests hold us longer than others.
The reasons for losing Interest are
fatigue and saturation. W e lose In
terest because we become tired In
body and mind and cannot hold our
attention on the Interest. As much as
children love to hear stories, they
sometimes get so tired that they lose
Interest and fall asleep.
True fatigue causes the loss o f In
terest In the economy o f health. It
Is also true that loss o f Interest due
to belDg fad up on the thing causes
false fatigue. Often we think we are
terribly tired when In reality we are
merely disinterested. W e are tired of
the thing we are doing and assume
that the whole body Is tired. W e say,
“ that makes me tired." or “ he makes
me tired," when we mean that the
thing or person referred to does not
Interest us.
Some Interests we lose permanently
because our tastes are changing. W e
grow away from the thing that once
held us firmly. Darwin, fo r example,
testifies that after thirty years o f re-
search In animal and plant specimens
In support o f his famous theory of
evolution he suddenly discovered that
he had lost his interest In literature.
Here Is a curious thing In the mat
ter o f losing Interest W e lose Intel-
est If we overindulge In a thing and
get fed np and tired If not actually
disgusted. On the other hand, we also
lose Interest I f we neglect the thing
so that It dies o f disuse. T o keep up
an Interest In anything. It seems nec
essary to Indulge moderately and at
rather frequent Intervals.
