ORIGIN OF FAMILIAR PHRASES
Turns Of Speech the Meaning Of
! Which Has Past.

From the Philadelphia Record.
In this hustling, matter-of-fact age lit
tie, it any. thought is given to the origin
of the most commonly used phrases
How many patriots know that the motto
Of the American nation, ''E Piuribus
Unum," was suggested by an English
man, and originally taken from a gas
tronomic poem written by Virgil couple
Of thousand years ago in commemoration
Of hash pudding or mince pie? When
the representatives of the new American
nation were discussing the adoption of
q motto for the great SEAL Sir John
Prestwick suggested the words as fifty
representing the union Of the colonies.
He got the motto from the Gentlemen's
Magazine. by which it had been adopted
from Virgil's poem 'Moretum" Such
at least is the explanation given by q
well known Philadelphia authority
The words In God We Trust" on
American coins was suggested to the
government in the black days Of 1862 by
resident OF the state of Maryland, a
state at that time friendly to the Con-
federate cause. 1t was subsequently sug-
gested by James Pollock, director Of the
Philadelphia mint. and in 1854 was first
placed on the issue of 2-cent pieces.
Hes brick is an everyday express
sion, but 1t is not generally know that 1t
was coined by Lycurgus. the great Spar
tan lawgiver. $500 years ago. When Ly-
curgus was asked II it would not be adj
visable to build brick wall around
Sparta. he replied that the city already
had. wall OF men and every man was
brick.
How many collectors know the ORIGIN
of the word "dun?" Early in the 18TH
century an English constable. John
Dun. became celebrated as a first-class
collector Of bad debts. Subsequently a
persistent following up Of debtors be-
came known as "dunning"
Taking him down a peg" is a fan,il-
lar expression which dates back to the
days of the great Saxon primate. st.
Dunstan. To put stop to hard drink
ing and brawling he made q law regulat-
ing mans drinks by means of pegs in
the ale tankards. The peg being ad-
Unstable, it was SO placed as to regulate
the size Of the drink. When a man be-
gan to get too lively or pugnacious the
peg was lowered in his mug. From
this grew the expression taking him
down a peg
Everybody has heard or used the IA
miliar expression: Tell that to the ma
rines but how many know II was first
popularized by Lord Byron? In his poem,
THE Island" the following lines appear:
But whatsoever betide, ali, Neuha. now
Unman me not: the hour will not allow
A tear: I'm thine whatever intervenes,
Right" quoth Red, that will do for
the marines"

RESCUE BY NEEDLE.
Boston's Cooperative Workroom
Gives Encouragement to Poor.

From the Boston Transcript.
The man past middle age, infirm and
deprived Of his earning power, is an OBJ
ject Of sympathy which has often set
many searching their own minds with
the question of how they would feel In
like predicament But there is lot
more difficult than the man's-the wom-
ans The woman too old to find wage
employment; the woman, young or old,
too unskilled to sell her toll: the woman
once affiuent, too proud to accept char
ity, yet knowing no way to find work
that she can do; the woman. young or
old, abruptly deprived Of her wage-earn-
er. finding herself with children to sup
port and no means of doing 1t. And all
this is complicated by the too great
reluctance OF some to accept charity.
the. too great willingness Of others, and
the general weakening OF fiber which
accompanies the acceptance. Of money
which has not been earned.
Over on Hawkins street they have come
to grips with these dilemmas in Wig
orous and practical fashion. On the top
floor Of the Charity building is q room
where the art Of the needle can be
learned by those who urgently need to
learn it either for self-support or self
help, and where the unskilled period will.
IL necessary, be tided over by help from
the institution. The women Of foreign
born families who have never learned to
sew; girls who covet pretty things too
expensive to buy but not too expensive
to make; women of our own country
forced to exc out scanty livelihood
have found this cooperative work DOM
q road back to hope and to self-support.
They are taught work; they can always
be sure of work: there is no age limit;
and in the period before their work
Qualities to the salable standard allow
ances will be made. But the work which
is sold never falls below that standard.
The room does not put charity work.
on the market. but the sort of articles
that people like to wear and to use. The
object Of the workroom is, of course, to
be as nearly self-supporting as 1t can
manage. But 1t is evident that there Is
a margin Of loss in making by hand
articles which can be and to q large
extent are made by machine. as well
as another margin of loss involved in
keeping along with workers as yet un-
skilled or too infirm to do much.

Methuselah q Youngster.

From the Chicago Tribune.
How old was Methuselah? Nine hum
dred and sixty-one years is the age which
from our earliest youth we have been
accustomed to assign the patriarch.
Scientific research abroad, however. has
reduced these imposing figures to seventy
eight and three-quarters years! The ex-
perts point out that there has always ex-
listed a certain amount Of doubt, even
among orthodox believers. in the literal
truth Of the Bible concerning the great
age to which the patriarchS attained.
Many theories have been evo we'd to re-
duce the biblical records OF this kind to
something near the allotted span OF man.
1t has been surmised that, in the ear
Hest times, the month-the period Of a
moon cycle-was ca led year. Thus,
Adams $50 years Of life, calculating a
the length OF lunar month. works out to
seventy-five and one-Quarter years. After
the month year there would appear to
have come q hve-m0nth year, the limit
Of Eve being derived from the fingers on
one hand. 1t being remembered that prim-
tive peoples always used the fingers for
purposes of calculation. Then came the
tweiye-month year. GROUND for this re-
ARRANGEMENT IL alleged to be given In the
psalmist's limit Of life Of three-score and
ten years. Furthermore, 1t Is maintained
that between the times OF Noah and Of
David no such extraordinary change
could have taken place as to reduce the life
of man by eleven-twelfths. On the five
month year basis Abraham's 175 years
shrink to u and Isaac's $50 to "A.

NEW ORLEANS.

NEW ORLEANS. December 2S.-The
cotton market opened fairly active after
the holiday. The main feature of the
early trading was the liquidation prompt
ed by January notices. These first de-
liveries on January were hardly in the
volume expected. notices for less than
1000 bales being issued, but they were
sufficient to scare out longs who had
held on until the last moment and sell
ing from this source exerted consider
able pressure on the market
The tone on the first call was steady
and prices were i to points down. Liv-
erpool was closed, which centered atten-
ton on the January position. After the
call selling increased and in the first half
hour OF business prices went to s points
under Wednesdays close.
Futures opened as follows. December,
l. 10 bid; Japuary. 12.19a12.2O; March,
II ~ bid: May IL. 5sa12.5e; July, 1884.
II was at first predicted that notices
would promptly be stopped. and on this
claim the market gave signs of reacting
from the decline. AS the trading of the
day progressed, however, il was seen
that notices were still circulating and
causing owners of long contracts to run
from them. The amount of liquidation
induced during the morning was out of
proportion with the number OF notices
issued.
Bulls were not willing to offer the mar
ket much IL any support, and upturns
were short-lived. At noon prices were at
the lowest of the morning session, stand
ing IL TO IL points under the last quota
tons Of Wednesday. January made the
widest decline.

The Dog Cemetery in Paris.

From the Boston Transcript.
Decent burial for dogs! Paris has the
finest dog cemetery in the world. Again
Laurence Sterne is upheld in his belief
that they order this matter better in
France" His pen should still be at work
again to describe the death of Tristam's
ass, with a. further note on his burial in
an annex of the dog cemetery. Founded
several years ago by some wealthy wom-
en- who wanted a place Of burial for their
favorite dogs, the cemetery has come to
be used by all the people of Paris who
would perpetuate the memory of their
pets. The cemetery is located at Asnieres.
about three miles from the city, on an
island of the Seine. Many a procession
winds it's way out to the tree-grown field,
say the French newspapers.
An attempt to establish dog cemetery
for Boston by act of the legislature failed
on account of the promoters demand that
the land for the cemetery be exempt from
taxation. Individuals have often given
their dogs decent burial. The graves of
Wordsworthrs favorite dogs, near the
church at Grasmere, have become a well
known point Of interest for tourists in the
lake country. Other authors have pre-
ferred to immortalize their pets in their
writings.

Valuable Pennies.
Roaton Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
The familiar old English saying, Take
care of the pennies and the pounds VIII
take care OF themselves" proves its worth
whenever a big coin collection is sold In
London a few days ago a penny coined In
the reign Of Aethelred brought $500 (ElOO)
by auction. One which was mirted when
Alfred was king was sold for $500 These
were coins dug out OF .'fnds." either the
secret stores of the thrifty OF one thou
sand years ago or the ruins OF some an
cient disbursing Office. There is great
deal OF hidden treasure In the earth. and
if Aethelred pennies are to be found in
veins it would pay English capitalists to
start mining operations. The numismat-
lists cannot expect to continue the trust
which has been so enormously profitable
to them.
