marveled ut the plain, uninteresting-
looking Palazzo Reaie, and our mirth
has been moved by the grotesque brick

poor picture gallery. In fact we have
done Turin thoroughly, and, like the

ORIGIN OF A FEW oATHs.
A Little Dogs Part In Profane History
Why "By Jimmy" Is Swearing"

Philadelphia special.l

Why "By Jimmy is Swearing"
[st Louis Post .Dispatch.l
The courtiers Of Louis TX. were wont to
indulge in swearing to an extent that was
both painful and distressing TO the good
King, their master, although the penalty
prescribed In the statute book for the Of
fense was no less than branding the tongue
with red hot iron for every compassion
OF IL. The oaths most offensive 10 the
sanity monarch wero the "cordieus," the
"tetedieus," the 'paradieus," ETC., which
still survive In Moliere and Rabelais. Az
this time there was at the palace, belonging
10 one OF the ladies Of the court, a little pet
dog named "Bleu." To elude the harsh
sentence Of the law, which might deprivs
them forever Of the power Of indulging iD
their favorite pastimA the courtiers deter
mined TO substitute for "dieu" the name OF
the dog. So "cordieu" became "corbleu,"
"tetedieu" "tetebleu," ETC., and the appar-
emily meaningless words are preserved 10
the present day. "Sacredieu" became
"sacrebleau," and was finally contracted to
"sacre." This last is the most common Of
French oaths nowadays, except "mon
Dieu." The dandies Of ancient Rome used
10 swear by the all the gods indiscrim-
lnntely, although II was customary for
each one to have his favorite oath. Castor
and Pollux were the favorites among the
demi gods to swear by, and whom people
said by Gemini, they ment TO swear by
Castor and Pollux, the twins. This oath
has come down TO us, even to the present
day, when the expression "By Jimmy! !" Is
frequently heard. "The deucew is a very
ancient oath, indeed, as will appear from
the derivation to which II Is roferred-the
Latin Deus-God. Now-a-days II Is con-
sidered mild oath to say "the deucel' II
Is curious thing that deuce Is generally
supposed to mean the "devil." SO people
say, Ego to the deucep The origin Of tho
phrase "by jingo" is traced to the word
Jincoa-the baser name for God.

Parental Inspection Of Schools.


School, college and university au.
thorities should make their respective
institutions more accessible TO parents
during the working terms, and parents
should have no hesitation in visiting
them-in fact, should insist upon the
privilege. Free and frequent inter-
course Is needed as between parent and
teacher The former is slow, usually, to
show himself Mt the school or college
where his child is presumed TO be nc
quiring an education, on account OF the
iciness OF the atmosphere. When he does
muster up his courage sufficiently to re-
pair TO the institution he finds himself,
rs rule, on entering 1t, oppressed by
fear OF intrusion and It not infre-
gucntly happens he learns, to his dis
appointment. that the professors to
whose care he has resigned his child
know the student only casually and are
able to speak only in general way as
TO his mental progress and moral well
fare. There should be better con-
dtion OF things. The time when parents
wish to learn about tho methods and
workings Of school or college is not
during vacation, as school advertisers
seem to think, but during the term when
The institutions are open and the busi-
ness Of education is in progress A man
can obtain no satisfactory notion Of
theaters attractiveness during the sum-
mer months, when all the actors are
gone and the lights are out. Cata-
logues and prospcctusos are well enough
within certain limits. but the time for
schools and colleges to seek the favor
OF parents is wnen all their machinery
is running. Then is the occasion to
invite inspection. and It therefore fol-
lows that parents should always be in
sured warm welcome, free range OF
the institution. and sympathetic atten-
tion from professors. The result OF
such happy and cordial relat on would
be the bringing Of the schools and col
leges closer to the hearts and affections
OF the people. the inyigoration Of the
teachers by personal contact with the
men who own the homes OF the land.
and the increased patronage OF the
higher educational institutions. Cur

TWO MOTHERS.

On either side window

They guarded, each her treasure,

Four little heads were In the nest,
And In the cradle one.
Without, the feathored mother
Kept faithful watch and ward;
Within, the human mother watched:
Above them watched the Lord.
Ind sitting there In silence .t..
Unbrokcn by q word,
There grew to be u bond between
The woman and tho bird.
So that, whom each had graded
Her offspring for the night,
She looked to see that nll within
Tho other home was right
There came time OF storm without
A time Of grief within;
The chair stood vacant-bare the twig
Where once a bird had beon.
And when once more the window
Stood open TO the west,
A saddened human face looked out
Upon shattered nest.
All, strange the link that bound them
Even In grief so great
Poor little frlendl' the woman cried,
=" Are both homes desolatey"
While, perched unseen above her,
Upon woodbine spray,
The small brown bird sat mourning
Whom she thought far away.
And seeing but the empty crib,
The mother all alone,
She inly chrpe1: Poor thing, poor thing,
Her little one has ilownl"
Tho sun sank down; forsaken
Hung either little bed;
Tne human guardian was gone,
Tho sentry bird had fled.
Yet still tho Lord kept watch above.
