MISoUoTED PHRASES.

Do you know that the word dude"
comes from the English word "duds."
which means clothes? Hence, dude
Is one very fond OF clothes.
DO you know t&t the expression
Sure as eggs is eggs" was never
meant to be as ungrammatical as It
sounds? The original was sure as X
Is Y.
DO you know why foolscap paper is
so called? When Charles | was king
of England. only certain people were
allowed to manufacture paper. and II
all had to bear the royal arms. Parli.
ament made sport of the law, and or.
dered FOOLS cap and bells to be used
instead.
DO you know the origin of the
phrase up Salt River?" Before steam.
navigation along the Ohio was carried
on by flatboats. which were rowed up
stream. This was particularly hard
work, especially up Salt river, dan.
gerous. crooked branch Of the Ohio
river In Kentucky. When slaves were
to be punished. this was common
method employed by their owners.
Hence, Mt election times, people refer
to sending the defeated candidates
up Salt River" as a penalty.

PERNICIOUS NATIVE HABIT
People of Northern India Much
Given TO "Earthing' or Clay
Eating.

Efforts are being made to stamp out
the habit of oarthing which is preya'
lent among natives over almost all
India.
In northern India the favorlto form
of earth is gray or drab'colurnd
shale. This Is excavated mostly at
Meth, in Bilkanir, and is exported to
the Punjaub at the rate of 1000 camel
loads a year.
In different districts different vari-
cites of clay are eaten, but II the ma
tives have at one time taste for a
special kind of mud, as the habit In.
creases the depraved appetite soon be-
comes satihed with bricks and broken
pots. White ant soil with the nests
and ants themselves is u great deli
cacy.
The reasons given for INDUCING In
the habit are classified under the fol-
lowing heads: First, u peculiar fas.
cinatng odor and taste in the clay rem
dering 1t delicacy; secondly, an TN.
natlral craving due to disease third
ly. to satisfy hunger; fourthly, force
nj example: Hfthly, supposed medic
inal virtues.
A university student confessed to
friend that the bland, earthly odor was
a great temptation to him and the
thought of 1t made his mouth water.
He always enjoyed the odor. he said.

ously parched earth.
The effects of the habit are disas.
