Dunning

MO doubt great many of us have dunned
~ people for various things, and perhaps
some of US have been unfortunate enough to
be dunned; but it is doubted if many know
where the phrase originated. 1t has been said
that it originally came from the French verb
donnes
This may be true, but the word probably
came from Joe Dun, famous baiff of Lin
coin about the time of Henry VII. Dun was
so noted for his ability to extract money from
debtors that his name became proverbial, and
1T got to be a custom to say, Why don't YOU
Dun HIM"

THE sailors grog or rum obtained it's name
in a curious way. The British Admiral,
Vernon was in the habit of pacing the quarter
deck of his ship in rough weather, wrapped in
coat of grogam.
1t was due to this coat, which appeared to
be a favorite of the Admirals, that he got the
name of "Old Grog" from his sailors. Later,
when Vernon was at the height of his career,
he introduced the use of rum among the crews
of his fleet. The use of this liquor soon be-
came as popular as the Admiral himself, and
IN his honor was named "grog'

Z" Fudge -"

THE expression "Fudge!" which is heard
so often nowadays, is not a new one On
the contrary, its origin dates back to the reign
of Charles H., when there was a sea Captain
who was named Fudge.
No matter how unsatisfactory his voyage,
this nautical man always returned with an
endless string of preposterous tales of great
deeds and success His propensity for falsi-
flying became well known that whenever
anyone was heard telling questionable
exploit, it became the custom to cry, "Oh,
you Fudge it!''

" Humbug"

THE word 'humbug" owes its origin to a
mint of worthless Irish coin. King
James II. had lot of money made at the
Dublin mint. It's intrinsic value was COM
paratively nothing twenty shillings of it
being worth only twopence sterling.
William Ill, after the battle of Boyne,
ordered that the crown and halfcrown of this
mint be taken as penny and halfpenny re-
spectively. The soft mixture of metal out
of which the coin made was called by the
Irish " Uim-bOg" pronounced "Oom-bug' }.
Thus came the word humbug, meaning some
thing with the appearance of value, but in
reality practically worthless.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1907-04-28
" Scrape"

THE word "scrape," meaning a difficulty,
L derived its origin in a curious way.
When deer roamed the forests they used to
scrape up the earth with their fore feet, and
thus leave hole sometimes foot or two deep.
When wayfarers passed through the woods
they were in danger of falling into these hol-
lows and wrenching ankle twisting a
thigh, and thus they were said to have got into
scrape. The Cambridge students picked up
the expression and applied it to any perplex-
ing matters that brought man morally into
fix.

" Fiasco ="

THE phrase, " a complete fiasco," originated
L with a German workman, who declared
that he could blow glass as we'll as an expert
glass worker.
a friend laid a wager with him to the con-
trary, and when the test came off the would be
glass blower found that he could produce only
pear shaped flask (hasco). Nothing daunted
he tried again, but with the same result.
The story of the workman became known,
and hence the origin of the phrase which is
used in designating failure.

i" Ounce ="

TT is strange fact that the word Ounce, ="
meaning stupid person, comes from the
name of one of the most eminent scholars of
his time, Duns Scotus.
In the Reformation the works of the
schoolmen fell into disfavor with the reformers,
and Duns, who was the leader of the school
men, was often spoken of with scorn by the
votaries of the new learning. As time went
by the name of Duns became a byword for
utter stupidity.

Not Worth a Thinkers

ONTRARY to the general impression, the
~ phrase mot worth a tinker's DAM" is
one of innocent character. 1t originated in a
device that thinkers have used from time i'm
memorial whenever they desired to flood a
portion of their work with solder. 1t is a cir
cular wall of dough raised about the rim of a
plate with turned over edge, and serves to
prevent the melted solder from escaping
The material from which such a wall or dam
is made is worthless after having been used
once. Upon this basis, naturally enough, the
expression came to be employed to character
ize anything that was of only temporary use

The Dolly

THERE is an interesting bit of feuda1 his
tory in connection with the table dolly
of every day use. At one time the ancient
Castle of Oxford and broad lands in its vicinity
were granted by the King to the D'Oyly family
the obligation being to hold the castle in the
name OF the King against all Corners
As was the feudal usage, the head of the
house was further required to render yearly
to the King some small tribute as an act of
formal homage, and in the case of the D'Oyly
house it a small tablecloth to be used by
the King at dinner-hence the present word
dolly"

" Hurrah "

THE history of many a race may be read in
L its battle cry The 'BaneaiI' of the Jap
anese the FaghdghbalLah!" of the Irish
and our own "Hurrah!" have found their
origin far back in history.
Although many authorities have declared
that the word " hurrah" is a development of
the Jewish "Hosannah," the consensus of
opinion is that it is a corruption of the
ancient battle cry of the wild Norsemen, "Tur
diei" meaning Thor aid u.s., Formerly the
word was spelled "Huzza" and pronounced
" Murray" In one form or another it is used
by almost every nation.

" Book y"

THE origin of the word book is perhaps
into use, our forefathers inscribed their letters
wood
The DOC" or beech" a close grained,
white wood which was plentiful in Northern
Europe, was used for this purpose, and hence
our word book"

" Chum I"

OUR word "chum," meaning boon COM
~ paniOn, is an extremely old 1t
originated with two obscure school boys over
two centuries ago.
These youths were room fellows at the same
school. and finding the word roommate or
chamber-felow unwieldy when speaking of
each other. they shortened it to "chum.''
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1907-04-28
" Bumper ="

THE word bumper" meaning drinking
L vessel, derived its origin from the Roman
Catholic religion.
1t was the custom in England in ancient
times to drink the health of the Pope after
dinner in a full glass of wine. This was called
IAN bon PEREZ" from which we have the con-
traction bumper"

THE word "skedadde' may trace its
L origin from several languages. Probably
it first came from the Greek, where a word
similar in sound used to describe the
dispersion of routed army.
The Swedes have a word "skndddddhl"
and the Danes another, "skvededehl," both of
which have the same significance.

" Idiot"

THE alteration in meaning of the word
idiot is peculiar. Originally this
word meant only man in private life as dis
tinguished from one who was concerned in
public affairs
In time the word degenerated, until it came
to mean one who was defective in mental
powers.

EARLY NORTHWEST VOYAGES.
Some Account of the Arctic Trips
 That Have Been Made.

Beginning with the American dis covcries of John Cabot in 1497, the search for the northwest passage was for many years the object of rival ex- petitions from Denmark, England, France and Portugal, says A. w.. Greedy, in the Century. It was Frobish- CT, however, who in 1576-78 first gave a distinct national character to the quest. John Davis of Davis strait, followed in three voyages, 15S5-SS, and then, in 1912, came the illustrious and hapless Henry Hudson, whose motto was that explorers should achieve what they had undertaken or else give reasons wherefore it will not be-"
 The search for the Atlantic side closed for two centuries with the voy- age of great seaman, William Baf- fin, who, in a tiny boat of 55 tons, with miserable equipment, but an un- daunted heart, attained, in 1916, the highest north in the western hemis- phere, v degrees 45 minutes N, and discovered three radiating sounds, Jones, Smith and Lancaster, the last being the eastern entrance to the long, sought passage.

 The ljberal party or the conserva- tive may be dfctating to the English nation; but Guernsey is more interest ed ip some local strife over sale of potatoes iD which good citizen was cheated. In her courthouse last sum- mer the writer heard such a case ar gueG in the ancient Norman French between two grave lawyers, a fat judge presiding solemnly. They spent the whole day on 1t.
 If a man has grievance and can get no redress, he can as last resort kneel down in the public highway, and in the presence of two witnesses cry out in French: ITO my aid, my prince!" His case is then taken up in court, and his eenmy or offender is summoned, and justice is done

Fire Recori for Last Year,

The fact that when a servant be- comes master a cruel foe is suddenly developed is attested by the dreadful havoc and loss of life occasioned by fire in the United States within the 12 months covered by a summing up of these losses for 1906. This record shows that nearly 1000 lives were lost and more than $500, 900, 900 worth of property was destroyed by fire dur ing that period. In no other country in the world is the fire loss, in bulk or pro rata, anywhere near our own. Last year, owing to the devastating fire that followed the earthquake in San Francisco, this loss was in great excess of the average, but the average for some years past has been $200,- 000.000 year.

HOMEMADE CATARRH CURE.
Sufferers Should Make This Up and
 Try 1t Anyway.

Any one can mix right at home the best remedy of it's kind known. The name Cyclone" is given to the fol lowing prescription, it is supposed, be- cause of it's promptness in driving from the blood and system every yes tige of catarrhal poison, relieving this foul and dread disease, no matter where located. To prepare the mix ture: Get from any good pharmacy one half-ounce Fluid Extract Dande- lion, one ounce Compound Kargon and three ounces Compound Syrup Sarsa- parilla. Shake well and use in tea spoonful doses after each meal and at bedtime.
 This is a harmless, inexpensive mix ture, which has peculiar action upon the eliminative tissues of the Kidneys, assisting them to filter and strain from the blood and system all ca tarrhal poisons, which, if not eradi- cated, are absorbed by the mucous membrane, and an open sore or ca tarrh is the result.
 Prepare some and try it, as it is the prescription of an eminent catarrh specialist of national reputation.

me that he now loves his Bible and heart into his work at the factory any more. He longs to spend the whole day at home reading his Bible and then going out to win the lost. Will Become Gospel Singer.
 A young man who is one of the fore most students in Hedding college has decided to become Gospel singer He now has charge of the choir in the largest church in Abingdon, and has exceptional talent as singer and musical conductor. He has been a nominal Christian for years. A few days ago he declared that heretofore his ambition had been to become a professional singer for his own glory; but that now he has yielded all to Christ and desires to be used for Gods glory. He will probably unite with Homer Alexander in conducting revival meetings in neighboring town.
 The business men of Abingdon have declared their intention of caring for the bodies as well as the souls of the large number of young men among the ment for the erection of Y M c. A. building. This will stand as a brick and mortar monument to this unique revival.
