THE WHITE DEATH.

THE ORIGIN o FTHE DUDE.

EWa1ter W. Skeat in The AthenaeumI
The word dude" as applied to a Top
or exquisite, came suddenly into use
about 1923, and all that we learn from
the dictionaries is that it's actual origin
is not recorded. The Century Dictionary
says that it perhaps originated in Lon
don England while the New English
Dictionary expresses the more general
belief that it came into vogue in New
York about the beginning OF 1883.
Considering the number of German
immigrants into the United States we
should naturally suspect it to have been
suggested by some German dialect The
problem of its origin does not seem to
be difficult It can hardly be other than
an abbreviated form of duden- dop, a
blocIxhead. g. common term of deprecia
ton in many parts
The Bremen Worterbuch gives US
sfDudel-dop, Duden-dop, Duden-kops elm
Hahnrey, Elm einfaltiger Mensch, cine

lasst" Lubben gives it under the form
dudendop only Schambach has the
adjective duddig, DUNN, stumpfs1nnlg,
schlafFig'' and the allied substantive
duddigheid; also, the verb dudden, with
it's frequentative duddern, which ne says
is East F'riesic; and accordingly Kool-
man gives the East Friesic dudden, fire.
quentative duddern, "betaubt sem, trau-
men duselnv whence the SubStantlVeS
dudde-kop, dud-kop, duddo-lap, etc
Calisch's Dutch Dictionary has dodderlg,
drowsy 1t thus appears that dude may
almost equally well have been suggested
by the adjective duddig, droWsy, or by
the verb dudden; but the abbreVlat1on
of the ready-made substantive duden-
dop or dud-kop perhaps gives the SIM
plest solution. In any case we can go
back to the old F'riesic dud, occurring
in the compound substantive dud-slek,
which means a stunning blow, such as

made on the basis Of good weather con-
ditions and fair crops
One of the men accordingly took a
sheet Of paper and began working out
the fortune that would be his in ten
years were he to begin at once.
Z Will modify my previous statement,
and make it five years instead Of ten"
said Mr.. Wood.
The man was busy with his pencil and
paper for moment. Presently he looked
up and made this statement:
zone of those jars holds one sixteenth
busheI per acre for seeding we could
plant one-sixteenth of an acre the first
year.
Providing the wheat yielded "a bush
els to the acre our first years crop would
amount to one bushel and one-half.
Planting that again we would have an
acre and a half in seed. This would
bring a crop of So bushels. The third
year we would plant So acres with our
36 bushels and would reap a crop OF
S64 bushels. The harvest would supply
seed to plant 8s4 acres the fourth year.
vest of p. 736 bushels Planting all this
again the fifth year the seed would
bring in a return of SOL 664 bushels
"Of course said Mr. Wood, those
figures are on basis of a uniform yield
of "A bushels to the acre each year. Tn
der the best of conditions and with good
seed wheat that would not be at all inn
probable.
Now to sell this at the end of the
five years. Say you were to get only so
cents per busheI, which is a low rate to
figure on, you would receive $3.50, 1872
Say your expenses were $60,SSz during
the five years, you would have remain
ing the neat sum of 100000. You can
not tell me there is no money to be made
