Origin of Word "Humbug."
From the London Chronicle.


Among the many issues of base coin
which. from time to time. were made in
Ireland. there none to be compared
in worthlessness to that made by James II
at the Dublin mint. 1t was composed of
anything on which he could lay his hands,
such as lead. pewter copper and brass;
and low was its intrinsic value that
20 shillings OF ii was worth only two pence
sterling. William Ill., a few days after
the battle of the BOyne. ordered that the
crown piece and half crown should be taken
one penny and one halfpenny respective
ly. The soft. mixed metal of which that
worthless coin was composed was known
among the Irish as Uim bog. pronounced
Dom bog. that is, soft copper or worthless
money; and in the course of their deal
ings the modern use of the word humbug
took its rise, in the phrases, That's a
piece of uimbog, Don't think to pass off
your uimbog on me-" Hence the word
humbug came to be applied to anything
that had specious appearance, but which
was IN reality spurious. 1t Is curious to
note that the> very opposite of humbug
that Is false metal. is the word sterling
which is taken from a term applied to
the true coinage of Great Britain as ster-
ling coin. sterling worth, etc. This word
came from the coinage of the Esterlings-
German traders, who came from the east"
of England and in The reign of John first
stamped pure coin in England. And thence
forward the name Sterling was applied
to standard coin In England.

GAME LAW PUZZLE.
Possession of Venison Prohibited In
Open Season.

UTICA, n. Y, September lit seems
strange that the state OF New York should
prohibit the possession Of vension during
two weeks OF the open season. but ap-
parently it does so. The forest. fish and
game law for 1907 has just been published
in the usual book form and copies are
being distributed. According to the copy OF
the law received here. section provides
that the closed season for wild deer shall
be from November to September l5 both
inclusive, which means that the open sea-
son begins September IL and closes on the
last day of October.
Section says: wild deer or venIson
shall not be possessed sold from No
vember p to September 30 both inclusive"
4 mis- is precisely the wording used in the
section last year, when the open season
began October l and closed November Ii.
1t does not seem probable that the legisla-
ture of 1897 when it changed the dates OF
the open season and made It legal to kill
deer during the last half OF September in
tended to prohibit the possession of venisou
during that period.

one of the strongest freshman teams in
