he EXCLAIMED "RATsl"
How This SlurrIng Phrase OrlgtnNE@d-xs
IL Only Star Spelled Backwards.

Where do slang phrases originator
asks the Boston Globe. Thousands of
people habituaIly indulge in the use
of slang without a thought or o
care as to the source from which the
vulgar phrase came, and often without
the slightest idea of its original mean-
ing. Doubtless many of them are
coined by MINISTRIES and burlesque
actors, but often some simple incident
is responsible for expressions which
sweep over the country and have their
use ia the mouths OF gamin and the
careless of speech. until superseded
by some word equally as offensive.
A few years ago a celebrated polo
team was playing match game in
one of our Massachusetts, cities with .
team from q neighboring city. The
visiting team, called the Star. wore
its uame conspicuously embroidered
on the breast OF the shirt
AS the game progressed it became EVIL
dent to the spectators that the referee.
who was in sympathy with the visiting
team, was unfair in his decisions.
This caused great ill-feeling. especial
" as the members of the team were
rough and rowdyish in their behavior.
Suddenly, as their conduct became
more exasperating, some one in the
! audience shouted: Rats" The cry
WAS instantly taken up. and throughout
the remainder Of the game the audience
continued to apply it to the turbulent
; players.
Finally one of them. unable to en-
dure the slurrlHg appellation any long
er, went to the man who had originated
the cry and said:
why do you call US rAtsP"
You ought not to take any excep-
ton to the name," replied the gentle
man addressed; you behave worse
than rats, and besides you wear the
word on your breasts. Spell the name
of your team backward" Sure enough,
Star spelt backward could make ns
other word but rats.
A large number of people from Other
states were in the rink at the time, in
Guiding several visiting teams. and
thenceforth the word rats" wa!
taken up as an expression Of con
| tempt.

Wiser SIGNAL: JIG. Rogers. Of
Seven Devils showed US a specimen
from the White Monument mine that
If properly exhibited would almost
set the living world crazy. Its pc
culiarity, and what makes it more
valuable, is the peculiar fact Of its be-
ing first quality of copper ore with
great knobs Of shining, pure gold
sticking out Of it, something unknown
in mining history until this season
brought to light this sort of specimens
in the Seven Devils. Up to this
years discoveries in that camp the
idea Of gold, real, pure gold, mixed
with the richest quality of copper ore
would have been considered as pre-
posteIous. Even now the report is,
as rule, disbelieved in the outside
world; but a single glance at the
specimen Mr.. Rogers has in his pos
session will convince any one that
Idaho has treasures of all descriptions,
enough to make Aladin turn pale
with envy, stored in one conglomor-
ated mass within the hearts of her
hills and mountains.

will first sink shaft to the depth OF
about 800 feet, and if developments
then justify such tunnel it will be

" AsHINGToN, Jan. 5.-The Senate

heil ana recommended that those of
Senator Dubois lie on the table nntil
the opening of the next session. This
has always been the rule of the Sen.
ate and it was thought best to follow
IL IN the present case. There was no
objection made in Committee, either
TO the form or nature Of Senator On
pois credentials and it is understood
that they are ample. 1t is not at ali
hkely that there will be any opposi-
'ion to Senator Dubois taking the
oath at the next session, but if there
should be- the Republican majority
wall seat him. Immediately after
Mcconnell was sworn in, and before
the box with the ballots could be
brought out, Senator Sherman
moved an executive session. Ac-
cordlngly no drawing for terms took
place. Both the Idaho Senators
voted to dispiace the Federal cleo
ton bill with the silver bill. The
entire delegation is working in the
utmost harmony and good results
may consequently be expected.
