"Helter skelter'' has been suggestive
ly defined as jingling expression,
vaguely initiating the hurried clatter
Of feet rapidly and irregularly moved.
Most dictionaries, however, led astray
probably by the ordinary photography,
have missed the true etymology of this
phrase. 1t should be ''helter keller"
'Helter' is an old word for hang"
probably connected with halter, and
"kelter' is used by old writer's in the
sense Of order" or the proper state.
Thus Barrow, the divine, says, IF the
organs of prayer be out of keller how
can we pray?'
'Helter SHELTER" therefore, is literal
ly hang order and means, "Oh, hang
order; let us do it, or let it take its
chance" Ben Jonson in Every Man

hang sorrow, care'll kill Il cat" and

The few old eX-slaves now left in the
West Indies have many curious Gus
toms, but the most curious is that of
burying themselves on the installment
plan. When they comb their hair they
are careful not to pull more hairs from
the head than they can help. Those
which come away they roll into ball
and put into bag of white muslin.
They do the same with the parings of
their nails and any other portions Of
their anatomy which become detached.
When the bag is full they bury it. If
asked why they do this they reply:
when me dead, massa, you bury me
body. Me hair am part Of me body, SO
me bury 1t now when it dead"

the prudent and careful housewife re-

Cough Remedy. 1t is certain to be
needed before the winter is over. and
results are much more prompt and
satisfactory when it is kept at hand
and given as soon as the cold is con-
tracted and before it has become
settled in the system. In almost eV cry
instance severe cold may be wal del
off by taking this remedy freely as
soon as the first indication of cold
appears. There is no danger in Civ
ing it to children as it contains no

take-both adults and children like
