The idea being that he was utterly
inefficient. A bit of chip put into any
food, whether porridye soup or sauce,
communicates no flavor to it, aud is in
the same category with map who is

raj and ineligible comparison.
Putting the cart before the horse, is
a wcil.known illustration. It can boast
of great antiquity, having first been
quoted BY Lucian, the great Greek writ

No derivation Of it can be given, but

to those who begin to do thing at the
wrong end.
Eating humble pic meaning that
the conceit shall be taken out of per.
sou, that pride shall have fall--is an
expression often used in oonsersation
The proper way Of spelling the dish
would be humble pie with the aspi-
rate. 1t refers to Il pie ouce more com
mon in England than it has. baen for
many generations. Two hundred years
ago, during The reign of Charlcs H., the

There arc various derivations of the
term, mind your P's and Qs.' It is
said to have arisen from the ancient
custom Of hanging n slate behind the
ale house door, on which was written
Z Or Q-that is, pint or quart against
the name Of each customer, accordin
to the quantity which he had drank, and
which was not expected to be paid for
until the next aturday evening, when
the wages were settled. Perhaps the
word tick, meaning credit, may also be
traced to this s-a lex or mark being put
