Some Curious Things.

This week the Professor takes
off his hat to a scrap-bool1, for il
has told him of things he never
knew before-or, knowing, had
forgotten. In turning over the
leaves he found many curious items
relating to the origin of quaint and
familiar sayings and things. For
instance, there's foolscap paper.
How did it come to bear this
strange namel You all know, or
should know, the histories of King
Charles l. and Oliver Cromwell of
England. The king found his
revenues getting low one day, and
sold the right to certain manufac-
turers to make paper. On this pa
per the royal arms were shown in
water marks. When Charles was
beheaded and the Cromwell gov
eminent came in, the latter laugh
ed at the royal arms and caused
them to be replaced by the fools
cap and bells. Another parlia-
ment removed this indignity to the
memory of King Charles; but ever
since, paper of certain size has
been "foolscap." This paper is the
size of the Parliament Journal.
2.-The word "Boston" was
made in this way. The Professor
means the original Boston and not
the city in Massachusetts.
In the seventh century a monk
known as st. Botolpb, or Bot-holp,
founded a church at a place called
Y-ceanho in Lincolnshire, England.
They first called it Botolph's town,
then Botolphston, Botaston and
then, very naturally, Boston. The
Rev. John Cotton, when he came
to America from this town, gave
the name to the seaport at which
he settled.
This st. Botolph is the patron
saint Of sailors, and they say that
there is a lantern hung every night
on the spire Of his church, three
hundred feet high in the air. Jean
Ingelow was born near this church.
3.-You have all heard of the
expression "Hobson's choice."-
Thomas Hobson was a carrier at
Cambridge, England, and owning
horses, he used to let them TO STU
dents. He was a very humane
man, and made a rule that every
horse should have a regular time |
In which TO rest, and no matter how
much a student might want to hire
Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1879-01-29

a particular horse, he couldn't get
him if it were his time to rest SO
/ it was "Hobson choice. Take what
you can get or go witt out.
4.-Roland for an Oliver. These
men were two famous knights, and
when one lid some very wonderful
thing the other went and did some
thing quite as remarkable. Neither
could get a head of the other.
Thus the expression has come to
mean the giving of an equivalent.
5.-Perhaps it may be salts
faction to some people to know
why they have become bankrupt"
The term is said to have originated
in the following manner: Certain
Italian money-changers years ago
used to do their business while sit
ting on benches in regularly-or-
ganized money exchanges, and
when one Of them failed his bench
was broken and the name JaHco
rotto (broken bench) was given to
him. The English word when first
introduced was "bankerout."
6.--IIie! Betty Martin. St. Martin
is one of the saints of the Roman
calendar, and one of the prayers
to him commences, 80, mill
Qeate MARTINEZ" and is now corrupt
ed to ellie Betty Martin"
7.-Robbing Peter to pay Paul.
an the time Of Edward VI. much |
of the lands Of st. Peter, at West
minister, were seized by His Males
tvs ministers and courtiers, bat in
order to reconcile the people TO that
robbery they allowed portion of
the lands to be appropriated to-
ward the repair ofSt Panl's Church;
hence the phrase, "robbing Peter
to pay Paul
S.-BlAclguard. None of US like
to be called by that name, but when
it first originated it didn't mean
SO very bad. The Pro-
fessor read that in olden times the
palace of kings and seats of mobiles
we're not so well nor so completely
furnished as now, and hence, when
any of the nobility exchanged one
residence for another all the kitchen
utensils, kettles, pots, pans, etc,
we're taken with them. The SER
sants who rode in the cart or wag-
IN with these articles were
'alled the blackguards- From be-
ng applied to q class Of persons
Who, though menials, might have
,een honest and well disposed, il
las come with us to be ap-
lied to a low and scurrilous class
f persons.

Gus packages and bundles be-
ing counted twice, none were miss
ing. Aunt Polly thanked Vane
heartily for his kindness, and said
she would make him some herb tea
when he needed it.
At that moment Alice came to
the door, and clasping her ancient
relative in her arms, she walked
with her into the house with such
a comical look that Harry was at a
loss what to think of it, and finally
came to the conclusion that Aunt
Polly was something valuable.
Harry" called out Mrs. Vane,
the next day, as he passed the
house, "please step in a minute.
Aunt Polly! wishes to see you"
"Bother Aunt Polly !" thought
Harry, as he obeyed the summons.
"Wsat can she want to see me
about, | wonder9"
He went, entered the parlor and
confronted pretty, dimpled-
checked girl of eighteen, with blue
eyes and long, brown curls. Aunt
Polly was forgotten as he clasped
her in his arms, exclaiming:
marian Lee!"
Alice stood by enjoying the
scene, when Harry, turning to her,
said:
"Ally, why didn't you tell me
Marian was here"
"Tell you! Why, didn't you
bring her yesterdayw Have you
so soon forgotten Aunt Polly ?"
Harry stood for moment, look
ing from one to the other of the fair
conspirators in perplexity, then,
as the truth dawned upop him, he
exclaimed:
"Well if this isn't good joke
But don't your conscience reproach
you Ally, for the fib you told me ?"
"But l told no fib, Harry. Ma
rian, explain it to him."
"Don't looked so astounded, Har.
ry," said Marian demurely. "Alice
really is my niece; only as her
mother, my half-sister, was married
before l was born, and she is just six
years older than l am. And / as
sumed that disguise as a test of your
and because l wished to
know how you would act in such
m embarrassing situation. l am
perfectly satisfied" said she with
merry laugh.
$50 your are going to marry my
Aunt Polly" said Alice to her {
orother-in-law. "And then you
will be my uncle"
81 don't care If I'll be your
grandfather" was Harry's exult- ]
mt reply. s
He is Alice's uncle now, and his
yet name for his wife is "Aunt i
'olly." v

KISSING.

There is jolly Saxon proverb
That is very much like this:
That man is half in heaven
when he has a woman's kiss.
But there's danger in delaying,
Aud the sweetness may forsake it
So l tell you, bashful lover,
If you want kiss. why take 1t.
Never let another fellow
Steal a march on you in this.
Never let laughing mai ZEN
See you spelling for kiss.
There's a royal way Of kissing,
And the jolly ones who make IL
Have a motto that is winning;
If you want kiss, why take it.
Any fool may face a cannon
Anybody wear a crown
But a man must win woman
If he'd have her for his own.
Would you have golden apple,
You must find tree and shake il
II a thing is worth the having,
And you want kiss, why take it.
Who would burn upon a desert
With a forest growing by!
Who would give his sunny summer
For black aud wintry sky'
Oh I tell you there is magic,
And you cannot, cannot break it;
For the sweetest part of loving
Is 10 want kiss, and-take il.
