CORNISH DIALECT,
6ome Quaint Terms That Are Com

Some Quaint Terms That Are Com.
mon Among the Natives.
"a hitched my foot in the sconce
and knacked my nuddick, and A
wadn't able to chunky for a fortnight"
Readers of dialect tales will proba-
bly, take it for granted that this sen.
fence is Scotch. 1t is. however, Cor.
nish and, being interpreted, means, Il
caught my foot in the pavement and
struck the nape of my neck, and 1 was
not able to swallow for a fortnight
There are some quaint terms com.
mon in Cornwall which have a pleas
Ing SAVIOR of their own. The phrase
'my dear''-prolonged to two syllables
is not. for instance, any indication Of
especial affection. 1t is I common
form of address to either man or wo-
man. So also, though with rather more
discrimination in it's use, is my deear
life"
A young child is mentioned in terms
of endearment as my 'anSOme'' or
tender deear' or " tender worm"
"Son'' and sonny" are used without
the least relation to the age or sex Of
the person addressed A son may some
times be heard speaking TO his own
father as "my son" or a husband call
ing his wife sonny"
Young" means simply unmarried. A
bachelor of eighty is "a young man.
Of a bride still in her teens it was
said hat she was "a pretty lot better
looking than when she was young"
An old person is not simply old. He is
"old ancient" Several New England
iocalisms are found in Cornish speech,
as "cricket' for a small stool, Chores
for household jobs and "Gowdy" for
pudding, though in America the latter
word survives only as part of pan
dawdy," the delicious deep spiced ap.
pie pie of country housewives.
A Cornish anecdote relates that a
small boy left at home to supervise the
family dinner while the rest of the
household We're at church, having, like
King Alfred, neglected his duty and
allowed the fig pudding to scorch, In
his dismay ran to the church and from

RARE COPPER CENTS.
Coin Collectors Theory to Account For
Their Scarcity.

Coin Collectors Theory to Account For
Their Scarcity.
That some of the rarest and most
valuable of the United States cents.
particularly those dated 1899 and 1904.
1--WE their scarcity to the fact that Full
ton built the steamboat Clermont is
the theory held by some coin collectors.
They believe that thousands of he old
time large copper cents went toward
making the copper boiler for the pio-
neer steamboat.
This theory would explain the mys-
terry that has long puzzled coin collect
ors as to the reason for the almost to-
tai disappearance of the cents of the
dates mentioned.
The first cents struck at the United
States mints at Philadelphia were of
large size. The copper blanks, or
~planchets, We're imported from Eng
land, being sent owe in kegs.
Copper at this period was a scarce
article in this country. With the ex-
ception of the small quantity pro-
duced at the only copper mines then
known in the United States, those at
CRANKY, Conn, nearly all the metal
used here came from England.
Builders of steam engines in those
days were of the opinion that boilers
constructed Of iron were unsafe and
impracticable, and as a consequence
boilers were made of copper, all the
boilers that came from England being,
it is said, constructed of that metal.
Fulton was likewise of the belief that
copper was the only fit metal to be
used in boilers.
1t is therefore possible that, finding
a scarcity of metal with which to con-
struct the boiler of the Clermont, he
finally resorted to the most convenient
source Of supply, which happened to
be the large United States copper
cents. Of course the cost of such a
boiler would represent a large sum,
but it is or the records that the steam
frigate Fulton, launched in 1915, the
year of the inventors death, had a
boiler entirely constructed Of copper,
which alone cost the large sum of $685.
900.
That the supply of cents of this pc
Rod was large enough to meet such a
demand is also likely enough. From
1893 to and including 1895 1,06G.O 33
cents were coined and in 1896 974,O0O
were struck.

the roars of the clamoring curb folk

there arises from a score of cOokerieS

Gus onion. From the caves of the New
York Stock Exchange come the more
~pretentiOUs fragrance of spiced meats

Anticipated frame house as we'll, come
all sorts Of Tuning evidences that the
men of affairs are eating. TO realize
what this luncheon hour means to

Baseball Notes.

See advertisement for our 4th of

can go home feeling that o have
had enough and it has cost you only one
quarter of your usual celebration
The management Of the ball team
will give a dance in honor of 1.-THE
Woodstock ball team at the clubhouse
Friday night. All club members will
be cordially invited, and if we lose at
baseball let US make it up in hospitali-
ty, if we win let US show them that
we can be courteous to a rival.
The two games of baseball this week
with Woodstock, VT, here at Athletic
Park will be two of the best games of
the season. We do not need to say
that Woodstock has a fast team, as
they beat us two games the latter part
of our season last year. These will
be the only games with Woodstock or
our own grounds and you certainly
can't afford to miss them. Barton's
team is made up of the right sort anc
will not be beaten until the last of the
ninth inning.
There will be seven games of base.
ball between Barton and Barton Land
ing this season, a series of six games,
aside from a gam with them here or
the 4th of July, which will be the first
and will not be one of the series.
We are very anxious that a spirit Of
friendly rivalry instead of the ole
''beat them anyway" feeling come uI
this season and we trust that all oul
enthusiasts will help US to win if We
can, but win clean, and help US to sup.
