ORIGIN OF FAMILIAR PHRASES.

"To put a flea in his ear" to indicate
sharp rebuff, is proverbial saying
found in all languages having litera
ture.
The expression of "rain cats and
dogs" indicating a severe shower, is
found in Dean Swift. 1t is supposed
to be of proverbial origin, and much
older than his time.
Familiarity breeds contempt" is a
proverb found in one form or another
in every English and Asiatic language
having a literature. Its earliest form
is believed to be the Sanskrit.
To "turn the cold shoulder" is prob
ably very ancient proverb. 1t first
appears in literary form in Scotts
"Antiquary," where it is used with
exactly the Significance attached to it
at present.
"1o put ones foot in it" is an Eng
lish country saying. After the milk
is drawn from the COWS, it is common
ly placed in large fiat pans and set on
the ground to cool, in which position
it is an easy matter for a clumsy fellow
to put his foot in the pan.
"a feather in his cap" has a
Hungarian origin. During the
centuries when war with the Turks
was constantly going on, Hungarian
soldier was allowed to wear one feather
on his cap for every Turk he had kill
ed, and SO the slaughter OF an addi.
tional foe meant one more feather.
To "take tie cake" is an expression
which seems to have originated among
the colored people Of the South. Cake
walks, or promenades in which cakes
were offered as q reward for grace oI
demeanor, were formerly common in
the Southern States, and are even now
known in many localities.
TO "face the music" is metaphol
borrowed from the stage where thC
player comes to the front and face
the orchestra. 1t is, however, stateC
by some authorized that the expression
has military meaning, the old militi'
laws ordering that when arrayed il
Iline the militiamen should "iace tn
music"
The expression "tloody shirts" is be
Ilieved to have originated with tn
Italians OF New Orleans. There wer
many Oorsicans among them, and il
that turbulent island when man wa
killed in one ofthe private feuds whic
were continually occurring his blood
shirt and other garments were expose
at the funeral in order to incite b
relatives TO vengeance.
"The devil take the hindmost," is
/. proverbial saying, having its origin i
Spain. According to Spanish legenc
the devil had a school of magic {
Toledo, and, at the conclusion OF
term OF instruction, there was rae
of the graduates TO get away, th
entire class being pursued by the devi
who was entitled to the soul OF I'll
last in the procession. According
i the story, the one thus overtaken WI
I destined to be famous magician an
several Of the most noted sorcerers
medieval times were supposed to hav
l' been thus overtaken in the race fro
the Toledo institute.-St Louis GIob

The Most Important

Matter demanding attention at this ., season is the condition of your blood. Your health depends upon it, for as the quality and quantity of the blood vary, you are better or worse.
 The blood conveys all the elements whichgo to makeup the organs, nerves and tissues of the body, and carries away all dissolved, useless material. Every bone, muscle, nerve and tissue, lives upon what the blood feeds to it. The whole world knows that Hoods Sarsaparilla is the standard remedy for making pure blood.
 It possesses merit peculiar to itself and by which it effects marvellous cures even when other preparations fail. When you buy your spring medi- cine get the best, and that is
