ORIGIN OF ODD WORDS.
The CONGRATULATIONS
of Green ClOth-The Apron.

~1IDERDOWN is the down of the
NY elder duck. This duck is common
Es1N in Greenland, Iceland and the
islands north and west of Scotland. 1t
is about the size of goose, and receives its
distinctive name from the river Elder in
Denmark.
Counterpart is a corruption of counter
point, from the Latin cul, eta Ia wadded
wrapper, quilt. When the stitches were
arranged in patterns ii was called cul, eta
puncta, which in French became courte-
pointe, corrupted into contre pointe,
counter-point where point is pronounced
"poyn" corrupted into "pane."
Cheater originally meant Escheator, or
officer of the sking'S exchequer, appointed
to receive dues and taxes. The present use
of the word shows how these officers were
won't to fleece the people.
DamaskeeniDg is producing upon steel a
blue tinge and ornamental figures, some
times inlaid with gold and silver as in Da-
mascus blades. 1t is so called from Da-
mascus, which was celebrated in the Mid
die ges for this class of ornamental art
Money-lenders in Italy used to display
the money they had to lend out on a banco
or bench. When one of these money-lend-
ers was unable to continue business his
bench or counter was broken up, and he
himself was spoken OF as bancorotto, !. e.,
bankrupt.
"The Board of Green Cloth" was a
board connected with the royal household
of England, having power to correct Offend
| ers within the verge OF the palace and 200
| yards beyond the gates. a warrant from
| the board had to be obtained before a serv-
| ant of the palace could be arrested for dobt.
| 1t was so called because the members of ii
| sit with the steward of the household at a
| board covered with a green cloth in the
| counting-house. II existed in the reign OF
Henry of England, and probably at still
| earlier period.
! Ancient fans had long handles, so that
| ladies used their fans for walking-sticks,
| and it was by no means unusual for testy
| danes TO chastise unruly children by beat
| ing them with their fan sticks.
Crayat is a corruption OF Crabat or Croat.
| 1t was introduced into France by some
| French officers on their return from Ger
| many in 1886. The Croats, who guarded
| the Turkish frontier in Austria and acted
as scouts on the TANKS OF the army, wore
| linen round their necks tied in front and
| the officers wore muslin or silk. When
| France organized regiment on the model
Of the CIoats these linen neckcloths were
| initiated and the regiment was called The
| Royal Cravat"
Apron is said to have originated in 8
strange blunder, viz; "A napperon, con,
verted into an apperon." "Napperon" i;
| French for a napkin, from nappe Cloth in
| generaD. Some English counties sill EN-.
| ploy the word apperon.
| Fuoiscap is a corruption OF the Italian
| folio-capo, a fOlio-sized sheet. The error
| must have been very ancient, as the water
| mark of this sort of paper from the thir
| teenth to the seventeenth century was
| fools head with cap aud bells.-Dry- Goods
| Chronicle.
