nicke1s, quarters and dimes originated IN
England, and was imported to this country
by Erastus Wiman, who, it IS said, owns
the American right to the invention.
PAwNRRoKIsG, or the business Of lend
ing money on pawns or pledges, appears
to have originated with the Italians at a
very early period in the worlds history.
The greatest pawnbronng establishment
in the world is the Mont de Pete, IN Paris,
established by royal command IA III.
THE Philadelphia Ledger says that while
December q is, by sort OF common con-
sent, reckoned the " shortest day" in the
year-that Is, between sun-up and sun
down-it is not SO in strict fact. The I'D
is precisely the same in shortness, for
while sunset is one minute later on that
day, sunrise Is also minute later, leaving
things even at the close.
BISCUIT in pottery is the term applied to
porcelain and other earthenware after the
first firing, and before 1t has received the
glaze and embellishments. In this condi-
ton the ware is very porous, adheres to
the tongue when placed upon it, and allows
water to percolate freely through its pores.
The ungiazed bottles employed in cooling
water are examples of biscuit ware.
THE small letter ''f'' was formerly written
without the dot The dot was introduced
in the fourteenth century to distinguish ii"
from ''e'' in hasty and indistinct writing.
The letter Il" was originally used where
SIP is now employed. The distinction be-
tween ''i'' and 'jn was introduced by the
Dutch printers at comparatively recent
date, and the '.j'' was dotted because the
al" from which it was derived, was writ
ten with dot.
TEE Society of Friends, commonly called
Qua1ers, having but one accepted starNard
of faith and discipline, were remarkable for
their unity until about 1926, when Elias
Hicks, distinguished and influential
preacher, boldly enunciated Unitarian doc
tr1nes. This produced much dissatisfaction,
and the hitherto united and peaceful So
ciety exhibited two parties, called respect
lively Orthodox or Trinitarians and Hicks
ties or Unitarian5. The breach widened,
and finally separation took place, the two
parties assuming distinct organizations.
This still exists, and it is not at all likely
they will ever unite again.
In Mexico the Christmas holidays begin
On the 10Th of December and end with the
dawn of the 18th. Nine consecutive nights
are spent in feasting and jolliication, but
on Christmas Eve every body attends mid
night mass, and afterward feels in duty
bound to visit nine different churches and
spend a few minutes in prayer at each.
Therefore, until daybreak on the 18th the
streets are filed with people, and so it hap
pens that when jewellers and worshlpers
have retired to their homes to seek needed
rest, Christmas itself is the most quiet and
uninteresting Of all days in the Mexican
year
