ORIGIN OF FAMOUS SAYINGS.
mind Your P's and Q's" Started in u
London TaprOOm.


Memphis Commercial-Appeal: II is,
think, generally supposed that the
expression Mind your p's and as" orig
inted in a schoolroom and was teach
er's warning to pupils that the two let
ters, when not capitalized, were very
similar in construction. There, is, how
ever. authority for the statement that
the place of origin was very far from
being a schoolhouse, and was in fact
an ancient London taproom, whose pro
prietor. on giving credit for ale TO Gus
toners, chalked their indebtedness on
the wall in the form of p's for pints
and q's for quarts, and was in the habit
of bidding such debtors to mind" them.
The expression Sub rosa under the
rose), implying secrecy. is said to have
originated from an incident dating back
as far as the year Az B. c. At that
| time Pausanias, commander-in-chief OF
the confederated fleet of the Spartans
and Athenians, was engaged in an in
trigue with Xerxes for the subjugation
of Greece to the Persian rule ana for
the hand of the monarch's daughter IN
marriage. The secret negotiations We're
carried on under an overhanStng bowe-
of roses. The per6dy of Pausanias was
discovered, but whether in defiance Of
| his fate or not, it became a custom
among the Athenians TO wear roses in
their hair whenever imparting a secret
they wished kept inyiolate, hence the
saying Sub rosa" among them, and
since, among Christian nations.
The word" dun" as used in the phrase
"dunning a man" is commonly thought
to be derived from the French don
nez," but according to an English pub
lication bearing date Of 1905 it owes its
origin TO one Joe Dun, a famous baiiff
OF Lincoln in the time of Henry VII
This bailin is said 10 have been so
dexterous in the management of his
rough business and so successful in
the collection of dues, that his name
became proverbial. and whenever man
refused to pay his debt it became Gus
tomary to say to his creditors why
don't you Dun him?"
To find the origin Of the word hum
bug" we are invited TO Ireland in the
days of James II. That monarch is said
to have caused to be made at the mint
in Dublin a coin out OF anything OBJ
tainable, such as lead pewter. copper,
brass and so low was its intrinsic value
that 20 shillings Of it was worth only
twopence sterling The soft metal of
which this coin was composed became
known among the Irish as "Uim bog"
pronounced "Oom bog" /. e, soft cop
per I. e., worthless money, and in the !
course of their dealings the modern use
Of the word "humbug" took its rise, as
in the phrases, That's a piece Of uim-
bog" Don't think to pass off your
uimbog on me" etc.
Looking for an explanation Of how |
the expression. a feather in ones cap |
originated you may find in the Lans-
downe MS, British museum, a De |
scription Of Hungary in 1900" in which |
the writer says Of the inhabitants: 1t |

wear fether save onlie he who slew a |
Turk. to whom onlle It is lawful to /

Of attention here. The production
is in eight reels and the theme Of
the story concerns the stealing of a

some wonderful character acting in
the role of the half-breed. who sac

sure the happiness of the girl. The
