How a Current Slang Phrase started

How Current Slang Phrase started
on lie Travels.
The origin Of slang has always been
a puzzle to philoIogists, but once 10 a
while current phrase can be traced
to its source. The colloauialism ITO
feel like thirty cents" is apparently
nonsensicaI, but Il is certainly the
most forceful expression of the day for
denoting anything small. mean and
contemplate In ones own sight Its
origin is thus explained by Philadel-
phia lawyer, who sometimes practices
IN New York.
There is a vagrant law in New
York under which a person having no
visible means of support may be
placed in durance. Il has also been
decided in that state that person
having so small a sum as thirty cents
in his possession has Visible means of
support Now there is no law in New
York except the vagrant law under
which pool sellers and gamblers may
be held. Shortly after the decision just
mentioned was formulated two gam
blers were captured in a raid and TAX
en- to the Tenderloin station house
They sent for lawyer who came and
had a talk with them. It will never
do to make any show of money here,
he said. Give me your rolls They
handed their wads over to him and he
gave each of them a quarter and a
nickel, with instructions to produce
the coins when be asked them to do so
in court.
When their cases were called the
lawyer got them off on the plea that
they were not Migrants, each having
the legal amount of funds in his pos
session. Just as the decision was rem
dered in favor of his clients a messen-
ger entered the court and required the
lawyers presence at the Supreme
Court. He left without seeing his
clients, and they wendell their way to
the nearest saloon.
How do you feel?' said one.
90 feel like thirty cents said the
other, and probably will until get
my roll back, or what's left of it.
And that's how that phrase was

EDUCATING Awkward Sea Lions.


A half dozen slippery, shapeless
seals and sea lions fioundering about
on the stage, croaking and barking
and doing some very wonderful things
besides-do not seem in the least dan
gerous or formidable, but there is
hardly any thing more painful and
serious than the bite of one of these
curious beasts. Mr. Charles Judge,
who has trained them for years, is
badly SCARED from the attacks of
these peculiar half land animals, half
fish. The bite of the sea lion is poi
sonous; besides, it is an ugly wound
from the manner in which it is in
fiicted.
Although the creature moves pain
fully and slowly on land, the motion OF
it's head and neck is extremely quick.
The neck seems to have an almost
elastic quality. One is surprised at It's
reach. The sea lion Is like a bull dog.
When he has caught hold he does not
let go at once, but sets his teeth firmly
in the flesh. Then he twists his head,
the teeth being still embedded in the
flesh; and without relinquishiDg his
grip he gives a quick jerk. The result
is to pull out ragged piece of flesh, II
the animal has gotten deep hold

Plans have been drawn by local

trouble for the wife OF every Governor
who has occupied the mansion
1t is no secret that Mrs. Dockery was
put to great Inconvenience by the long

dition on the side of the mansion near

room will be placed. A living-room will
also be added
On the south will be placed a porte
cochere for receptions. It also is
proposed to improve the reception
hall, where the portraits of first ladies
will be put. Many of the floors are
sagging and need reinforcement.

FUR SUITS FOR BOYS.

Countess de Castellane Sets Fashion
for New Workers.
Although Anna, Countess de Castel-
lane, has received no social recOgni-
ton to speak of, her presence in Amer
lea is felt by the youngest generation.
The fashion of dressing her two young
boys has interested scores of mothers.
The two little Castellanes spend much
of their time parading the avenue, be-
tween Forty-seventh and Thirty-third
streets. They wear entire suits of fur,
from their peaker hoods to their fur
leggings. George, the elder, wears
lynx, and his brother, Boni, wears Rus
sian squirrel. Their jackets, their
trousers and their attached hoods are
all of fur, and in this garb the boys
look like baby Eskimos. 1t is rather
a pretty fashion, for the children's
faces are framed in fur, and, in the
instance of the Castellanes, this style
suits their interesting, dark counte-
nances. Rarely have such lively, pranc.
ing children amused the avenue. Boni
dragged a sled the other morning
across the clear pavements, but in his
aunt's Miss Helen Could private
yard he was permitted to tumble in
real snow to his hearts delight These
fur clothes for children are practical

wallop in heaps of snow without
catching cold, but an obstacle to the
popularity is the cost OF the furs. The
