Turning the Tables.

Pliny tells US that the phrase turn
ing the tables" arose from the extrava-
gance of the Romans. In the time Of
Augustus men of wealth spent fabu-
lous sums of money on tables of costly
material, such as ivory, gold, silver.
marble and highly priced woods, espe-
cially the citrus wood of Mount Atlas.
These last were called tigrine or pan
Uterine, from the spotted appearance
of the grain, as our birdseye maple
takes its name. Cicero, a nan of mod
crate means, gave nearly 10000 for
one Hence when the gentlemen
charged the ladies' with extravaganza
In jewels, especially pearls, the ladies
retorted on their lords by pointing to
the vast sums spent on tables and thus
literally turned the tables" upon them

"Mutiny" is word of terrible
sound, partly because of the many
dreadful events that ii recalls and
partly. no doubt, because to the ear
it suggests ''mutiate," but it signifies,
etymologcaly, nothing more than
movement and "commotion" ought
really, again according to etymology,
to be the stronger word of the two.
The old French "meute," meaning sedi-
ton, to which the word is traeeable,
has given way TO "emeute" III this
sense, "meute' nowadays signlfying
only Il pack of hounds, a much more
innocent specialization Of movement.
1t may be noted that, while Shake
speare knows "mutiny' in the modest
sense, Loves Labour's Lost also
speaks of "a man whom right and
wrong have chosen as umpire Of their
mutiny," where "mutiny' only means
discord or quarrel.
