The Bitter End.

You have probably often heard a
person say 81 will follow it to the Bit
ter end" or something to that effect.
but very few persons know that this
is a nautical term and is borrowed
from ships cable. II you have ever
been on big ship you must have no
tced two big pieces OF wood sticking
up out of the deck forward. alongside
each other. They sometimes have a
windlass between them, and they are
used to secure the cable that goes to
the anchor. These pieces of wood are
called the bits. When the ship comes
to anchor and the cable is paid out
all that part of 1t which is abaft or
behind the bits Is called the bitter end
of the cable. In u storm or in poor
holding ground for anchors the more
cable that is paid out the better the
anchor will hold. and when the cap
tain is at all doubtful he pays out his
cable to the bitter end sooner than risk
any harm to his ship.-New York Press

ORIGIN OF "BLACKLEG."
The Term Came From Race Track Men
Who Wore Black Top Boots.

The Term Came From Race Track Men
Who Wore Black Top Boots.
The term Dlackleg. which has come
to mean one who Systematically tries
to win money by cheating in connec-
ton with races or with cards. billiards
or other games of skill or chance and
is used as Synonymous with a swim.
dler. welSher. is of uncertain origin
Some authorities connect it with the
black legs of gamecock, so much
used by the sporting fraternity for bet
ting purposes.
According to another and more prob
able view, the expression had no dis
graceful sense attached TO it at first,
but was applied to turf and sporting
men because they were often in the
habit OF wearing black top boots.
When blackleg had thus become a cur
rent phrase for professional sporting
men it probably passed into use as ap-
piled more particularly TO those who
took an unfair advantage OF their op-
portunitieS TO cheat the unwary.
The derivation of this term was once
soIemnly argued before the full court
of queens bench upon a motion for a
new trial for libel. but that learned
tribunal was unable to decide its or.
