The Origin Of Billiards.

In letter dated 1850, which has been
presented to the Bibliotheque Ma
tionale, in Paris, a highly ingenious
account is given of the origin OF bill
lizards. The writer declares that bill
lizards were invented in England about
the middle Of the sixteenth century by
a paWnbrOker named Bill Kew. This
man, ii is alleged. used in his leisure
moments to play on his counter with
the three brass balls which he hung
up as a sign. For cue he had "a
yard measure, whence the term Bill
yard. or Bits yard, corrupted into bill
lizards. This etymology will hardly
satisfy Mr. Skeat but it is at least
curious as showing to what length the
speculative etymologists are apt to go.
The most astonishing thing about it,.
however, is the fact that it is the work
of a Frenchman, who might have seen
at glance that billiards is a corrup-
ton of his own word billiard" from
billie ball the termination ard"
being perfectly regular and natural in
the composition of a word intended to
designate the table upon which the
balls are used.

latest fad is the electrical window sign.
An uptown dealer has one which makes
noise and stops strollers, who read
on it these words: IF your sign
moves and attracts attention your goods
will" Another electrical eye arrester

piano man. Over the sidewalk is fixed
large circular case containing a num-
Der of white. flexible. sinuous arms,
moving from common center. These

ing played the bewildering gyrations OF
