1t was a son of ''the ould sod" who had
this little passage with the salesman at
one of the down town jewelry stores the
other day. He had come in to purchase a
wedding ring for his bride to be. Lean

should be able to hear his wants without
the necessity of informing all the other

him, "Give me the best wedding ring you

THE WORD HopeEPoDeE.
This Curious Expression Seems {
BE of Legal Origin.

This Curious Expression seems to
BE of Legal Origin.
Few words in the English language
have such o variety of meanings and
suellings as hotchpotch. Hotchpotch,
hotchpodge, hotchpot, hodgepotch, hodge
podge, hodgepot and every other con-
ceiyable combination of the syllables con-
tanned in those words may be found IN
literature and heard in conversation.
Nowadays, it is chiefly used by children
to designate q game which they play on
the sidewalk, ON which is roughly drawn
IN chalk the required form. The game is
quite popular in New York, and on. a
summers day there is hardly block
without its hodgepodge game, the chalk
marks used in them remaining until the
rain washes them on.
The words hodgepodge are also used by
Scotch to denote a certain kind OF
iug made up OF numerous kinds OF
~ kedients.
But the words are really Of legal origin.
In olden times it was the custom for IA
Their to give a daughter portion of bis
estate for her advancement In mar
rage" II, upon his death, he left the
rest of his estate to his children proper
tionately, the one to whom the marriage
portion had been given could not partici.
pate in the distribution unless she agreed
to divide the lands which she had pre-
viously obtained as her marriage portion
In equal proportion with the rest Of the
lands descending.
This was dominated bringing those
lands into hotchpot. II, however, she
thought that she would be the loser by SO
doing, she could retain the lands she had
at first received intact.
Just why this custom received the
name of hotchpot does not appear, but in
an old English text book the following
explanation is found: 1T seemeth that
this word hotchpot is in English a pud-
ding; for in pudding is not commonly
put one thing alone, but one thing with
other things together"
By this was meant that the marriage
portion and the lands subsequently de-
scending should first be fixed and blended
together and then equally divided among
the sisters. The word hodgepodge is now
most commonly used to designate any
kind of mixture. although what relation
that meaning of the word has to the
game as played by our American children
IL not very apparent.-New York Herald.

Ghosts would brighten many people who
are not afraid of germs. Yet the germ is
real danger. If this microscopic animal
ism could be magniied to size in proper
ton to its deadliness it would show like
giant python, or fire breathing dragon.
The one fact to remember is that the germ
is powerless to harm the body when the
blood is pure. 1t is far easier to keep the
germ out than to drive it out after it OBJ
tains hold in the system. DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is the most
powerful and perfect of blood purifying
medicines. It increases the quantity as
well as the quality of the blood, and enable
the body to resist disease, or to throw it
off if disease has obtained a footing in
some weak organ. Wherever the digest
ton is impaired, the nutrition of the body
is diminished, for the blood is made from
the food which is eaten, and half digested
food cannot supply the body with blood in
quantity and quality adequate to its needs
For this condition there is no remedy
equal to Golden Medical Discovery"

persons who give it fair trial When
there is constipation DIR. Pierce's Pleasant

The stranger in any city half a hun
bred years old. if he knew nothing of
the city's history, would learn from
many of the signs that the second and
third generations had succeeded to the
business of father and grandfather. 1t
Is especially true of New York. The
New York Tribune mentions some pc
culiar signs and relates the following:
A Londoner who had strolled about
the streets of the city with New
Yorker who called his attention to
some of the signs of SONS agreed that
in this respect New York was very like
London, but in neither city was there
any such sign as be saw in one of the
old English towns few hours run
from the worlds metropolis. The sign
reads, John Littlejohn's Sons & Little
little Littlejohn, Doolittle Littlejohn
& John Little).
According to the Londoner the first
Littlejohn and Little were partners
The former gave his first son his part
ner's family name, and Little gave bis
boy his partners Christian name. Lit
tlejohn's second son was named for his
mothers family, Doolittle. The three
sons succeeded to their fathers busi
ness; hence the sign is entirely correct
and the Londoner was right in saying
that the successors had no intention OF
being funny" when they had theil
sign written as it appears.

Middle aged men that have been under
that cloud remember it still with
shiver. But the important fact is that
there are men who were once in danger
from wweak" lungs who have grown
strong again, married and brought up

HOW IT HAPPENED.
There is no chance about such cures.
If only few persons had been benefited,
# MIGHT be said that they had exagger-
ated their danger or had only been SUIT
fering from some common a1lment. But
when the cured are numbered by thou
sands; when the doctors diagnosis was
consumption when every symptom bore
out that diagnosis = weakness, emacia-
ton. bleeding of the lungs-and these
sufferers were perfectly and permanently
cured by the use of DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, it must be concluded
that these cures are not OF chance, but
due to the healing power OF a great
remedy, for coughs, weak lungs, prom
chitis, and like diseases, which IT neg
lected or unskillfully treated, md fatal
termination in consumption.
