TIE ORIGIN OF "FuDeE."

to rs1ce.
Where did that very common word
fudge" come from, and what does il
really mean? The antiquarian of the
Boston Journal says tae first appear
ance Of the word K literature is the
description of the cell of Lady Blarney
and Miss Carolina Wilhelmina Amelia
Skeggs on the Vicar of Wakefeld's
household: "But previously should
have mentioned the very impolite be-
havior of Mr.. Burchell, who, during
this discourse, sat with his face turned
to the fire, and at the conclusion Of
every sentence would cry out 'Fudge!'
an expression which displeased us all,
and in some measure damped the ris-
ing spirit Of the conversation" Does
the word come from the provincial
French sfuche" or the Low German
"futsch"? Or shall we-trace it to the
story of 100 quoted by .sshe elder
sD,Israeli: There was, sir, n our
times, one Captain Fudge, who always
brought home his owners a good cargo
of lies, so much that now aboard the
ship the sailors, when-they bear a
great lie told, cry out, You fudge IT."
