Many Words and Sentences In Common
Use Had Peculiar Beginnings.
Nearly everyone has at times been
puzzled to account for the origin Of
words and phrases they hear used in
the conversation of those with whom
they come In daily contact. Some Of
these are peculiar in their etymology
and give no indication Of their parent
age. The word "hurrah,' for instance,
is token Of Joy in use for centuries.
It is the battle cry Of the old Morse
vikings as they swept down to burn
and murder among the peaceful Brit
ish. "Tur aiev' was their war cry,
which means "Thor aid"-an appeal
for help to Thor, the god Of battles.
ITS all humbug;" Perhaps 1t 10.
Humbug is the Irish "uim bog" pro-
nounced humbug. meaning bogus
money. King James II coined worth
less money from his mint at Dublin,
bis 20-shilling piece being worth 2
pence. The. people called it "uim
bog"
It was a Roman gentleman Of 1000
years ago who first asked where the

know what was the matter with the
woman. They declared she was good
and pretty. "Now," said the husband,
taking of his shoe, isn't that a nice
shoe? It's good shoe, Ell? A pretty
shoe, eh? A new shoe. ehf And none
Of you can tell where 1t pinches me-"
Before you can say Jack Robinson"
arose from the behavior Of one John
Robinson, Esq. He was a fool. He
was in such hurry when he called
on his friends that he would be of
before he had well knocked at the
door.
"There they 60, helter-skelter" That
phrase was coined at the defeat Of
the Spanish armada. The great feet
Of the Spanish invasion was driven by
storm and stress of the English attack
north to the Helder river and south
to the Skelder rlver-the scheidt.
Do you know why hare Is called
"Puss"I This is not riddle, but just
an example Of how words get twisted.
The ancient Norman knights who
came over with William the Conquer
or pronounced the word lie puss."
The puss he remains to-day.
go to Halifax" That town was
place Of special terror for rogues be-
cause of the first gulllotine invent
ed there by Mannaye for chopping of
felons' heads. Halifax law was that
the criminal should be condemned
first and inquired upon after" Gov.
entry had a queer law in old times by
which none but freemen of the city
could practice a trade there. Strang-
ers were starved out. Hence the
phrase Of shutting man out Of hu-
man company-"sent to Coventry"
"Spick and span" comes from the
Spikes" and "spanners"-the hooks
and stretchers for stretching cloth
new from the loom.
To dun" a man for debt comes
from the memory Of Joe Dun, bailiK
Of Lincoln, who was 30 keen a COL
lector that his name has become Z
proverb.
News" is a queer word-the initials
Of north, east, west, south, which ap-
peared on the earliest journals as a
sign that information was to be had
here from the four quarters Of the
world. The sign was N p w 8. and
gave us our word news"

heavy guns has never been tried in
any vessel. There is no warship afioat
that carries more than four guns Of
the caliber named.
In tonnage the ships will about
equal the splendid new British vessels
Of the King Edward VII. and Africa
class. Those vessels displace between
$1,000 and 1900 tons and are about
425 feet long. They carry four r.

The adding Of a third screw to the
new battleships, which will call for
the addition Of another engine, Is re-
ported to have been definitely de-
cided upon by the bureau Of construc-
ton. This system, which was intro
duced into the navy by Rear Admiral
Melville, although looked on with great
disfavor by foreign naval construct
ors, has proved great success on the
Columbia and Minneapolis. One Of
its advantages is that In cruising great
economy is attained, in that when only
a moderate speed is required the cen
trail engine alone is used. II high
rate Of speed Is desired the two wing
engines, and. II necessary. all three,
can be operated.

UPRISING OF The kALOHUS IN

Looted and Destroyed-Anti-Foreisn
Movement In South China.

Victoria, B. c., Sept. 4.-Advices
were received from Pekin by the
steamer Athenian that the uprising of
the Kalohus, an organization similar
to the Boxers, is assuming serious pro.
portions in southern Shansi. The in.
surgents have burned many govern.
ment Offices and yamens. Imperial
troops, several thousand strong, con-
sisting of cavalry, infantry and artil-
lery. were sent on August 16 to put
down the instruction, but were re-
pulsed by the rioters. Several high
officials have been killed in Taiyuanfu,
and it is reported that some mission
aries have also been killed. The for.
eigners in the section were taking
refuge in the government yamens.
Further details received of the up.
rising against the Roman Catholic
missionaries in Yunnan show the Sc
robustness of the situation to be greater
than previously reported. Not only
we're churches destroyed and looted,
sacred vessels being carried away, but
in many districts French priests were
cruelty tortured and killed.
One priest, who escaped into French
territory by making his way down the
Hotekiang, secreted in the bottom OF
boat, reports that the uprising was
so sudden that the missionaries were
completely surprised. He reported that
IL mission houses along the Soko were
burned, and in the outlying districts
where there were few foreigners not
vestige of church property remains.
The refugee stated the rising was due
to a general antiforeign movement
spreading through the south of China.
