Humbuq.

The word "humbug" had its orr
gin as follows: Among the many IS
sues of base coin made from time
to time in Ireland there was none so
worthless as that made by James
II. at the Dublin mint. 1t was
made of whatever metal was the
easiest to get, lead, copper, pewter
or brass, and so low was its in
trinsic value that 90 shillings of it
was worth only twopence sterling.
The soft mixed metal of which that
worthless coin was composed was
known to the Irish as "uimbog,"
pronounced oombog, meaning soft
copper or worthless money. Thus
the phrase ''humbug" originated by
a person saying: "That is piece of
uim-bog." Don't try to pass off
your uim-bog on me" Exchange.

Air Sacs Of Pigeons.

The air sacs Of the pigeon constl-
tute system OF interstlces, the val
ue of which lies in their absence OF
weight and resistance.
Flying is possible only to a body
of high mechanical efficiency divest-
ed of al suTcrfuauS material. The
original reptiles, which by evolution
became birds, were Invested of su-
perfuous material, and the body
spaces thus obtained were filled with
air sacs. The body wall, adapting
itself to the mechanical require
mcnts, became a hollow cylinder
serving as support for the organs:
of the movement, the mobility OF
whose parts was assured by the sur
rounding air sacs. The air cavities
in the bones of other birds are SINH
larly explained.

Why Coins Are Milled.

Did you ever look at the edge of
a dime or quarter: They are dif-
ferent from pennies and nickels, for
all silver and gold coins have what
are called 'miiled" edges, while the
edges OF pennies and nickels are
SMOOTH. The reason for this is that
some dishonest persons used TO clip
pieces off the coins, especially the
gold ones, and then sell these scraps
Of precious metal when they had
saved a great many.
Every year the nation lost large
sums of money this way, and the
thieves would smooth the edges Oft
so well that it was hard to find out
who was guilty. The best way Of
stopping this practice was found to
be to mill" the edges of the most
valuable coins. so that no one could
pare them without letting it be seen
at once.-kansas City Star.

BE CAREFUL AFTER FEVER, COLD OR GRIP
Many Fatal Cases OF Kidney Trouble
Can be IrcCed TO Some 10
fecil0uS Disease.

Colds, fevers and infectious dis
eases very often leave the kidneys
weak. So little attention is given
the condition of the kidneys during
recovery from the original trouble
that a severe attack of kidney dis
ease often follows. Here's how it
happens. The kidneys are worked
hard enough in healthy times. They
have to filter the blood. In any
germ disease the blood is loaded
with extra poisons made by the dis
ease germs. This overwork tends to
weaken the kidneys. After colds,

AWED THE SAVAGES.

The ambassador who would pro-

FORETOLD Bf DEANS.
Two Singular Cases In Which Sleep
Warnings Came True.

81 dreamed that the ship was in
a heavy sea, that big wave came
over her bows, pressed down upon
her, and then she rolled over on her
starboard side and disappeared"
This is not an extract from a
story. It is evidence, given on oatn,
during the inquiry at London into
the mysterious disappearance Of the
Waratah, the vessel which on her
second voyage mySteriously disap-
peared in July, 1909, and mas never
been heard Of since. And so i'm
pressed was the passenger with the
vision that he left the vessel at Dur
ban, from which point she contin-
ued on her i'll fated voyage. Thus
one more was added to the eytraor
dinarv condolences in which dreams
have figured.
The third Lord Waterford was
able to verify story of an extraor-
dinary dream coming true Talking

inn in the village close to Curragn-

there he'd been a murder on the
hills. "1'hen it must be the little
one," said the landlord, at which
Lord Waterford, not unnaturally,
became very suspicious. The land
lord proceeded to explain that in
the night he dreamed that two men
had come to the inn and that the
taller of the two had murdered the
shorter with very curious knife.
He told his dream to his wife,
who laughed at him. But, to his
horror, the men he had seen while
asleep came to the inn, and one
used the curious knife to cut up his
food. They left, and soon after
ward news of the murder arrived.
Search was made for a tall man an
swering to the landlords descrip-
ton, and one was quickly arrested.
In prison he confessed he had muir
dered his short companion.-Pear-

MILITARY PUNIsHMENTs.
Times When Rebellious Soldiers Gam.
bled For Their Lives.

In times past the military code in
England was no less stern and un-
compromising than the civil. Sen
tence of death was readily decreed
and as promptly executed. Where
offenses multiplied and wholesale
executions would have weakened the
army numerically decimation-thc
slaughter of every tenth man-was
the rule or the troops gambled for
their lives by casting dice upon a
drumhead or drawing lots under the
gallows tree.
Lesser penalties-not capital, but
physical, and causing pain with per
manent degradation - were maim-
ing, branding the cheek or forehead,
boring the tongue or cutting the
nose and ears. These last named
were retained upon the military
statute book until the reign of
Queen Anne.
The "strappado" was fendish
device by which a delinquent was
hoisted on high by rope fastened
to his arms and then dropped down
by sudden jerk that often dislo-
Gated his shoulders.
Hanging by the thumbs, some
times called "picketing,' was also
practiced, while the body was rails
ed to such height that its whole
weight rested on one toe and that
again on a sharp pointed spike.
To "ride the wooden horse was
; to be mounted on a razor edge, with
weights fastened to the extremities.
Running the gantlef, or "gante-
lope," was as old as the Cromwell
liam army, and it is thus described
in an army order about 1919: The
culprits (who had been guilty OF
blasphemv as well as deer steallng)
were to be stripped naked from
the waist upward and a lane made
bv half the lord generals regiment
of foot and half Colonel Pride's,
with every man cudgel in his
hand. They were to be run through
in this posture 50 that every soldier
might have a stroke at their naked
backs. breasts or arms wherever it
might alight." ."--Pearson's Weekly.

CEDAR SWAMP CHRONICLES.
Weddings and Receptions the
Order of the Day.

Cedar Swamp, January 3:-LaSt
Monday evening Mr. Marvin Leroy
Mccullough left this place for Whit
mire, a thriving hamlet of Green
wood county, where lived a most
charming young woman whom he
had wooed and won. and Wednesday,
December q, Rev Walter Herbert
pronounced the words that made
Miss CarriePierce Watson his loving
bride and both of them companions
for the remainder of their lives.
Miss Watson, after graduating at
Lander college. Taught school in this
community and has many close
friends who are delighted to vel.
come her in our midst. Mr. McCul-
lough's popularity and usefulness
are recognized by the people of this
place, and deservedly so.
Yet another caprice of Cupid S
cunning caused Mr. Mahlon Watson
to come from Coosawhatchie in quest
OF q precious prize when Miss Maude
Phillips yielded to his pleadings.
They were married by Rev P S Nc
Chesney at the manse in Kingstree,
Sunday afternoon, December "a.
They left on the evening train for a
brief stay with Mr. Watson's parents
a. Conway. Yhey will make their
future home at Coosawhatchie, Mr.
Watson being engaged in thelumber
business. The bride is the popular
young daughter of Mr. and Mrs T J
Phillips.
In honor of MIR and Mrs Marvin
Mccullough, who arrived Saturday
from their bridal trip, they, with
others, were invited to the home of
Mr. and Mrs Y McGill. The guests
decided to give the bride and groom
q promiscuous shower, as it were,
and each carried some useful arti-
Gle, such as a garden rake. pie pans,
zinc tub, coffee pot. towels, etc. AT.
ter dNicious fruit salad and cake
were served. the party repaired to
the parlor, someone dragging the
tub filled with tinware and other
things came in, crying, Storm!

bride. Then a gentle voice murmur-
ed. 1t is only a shower"
Mr. Frank P Snowden. after spend
ing Christmas at home, returned to
Cape Charles, Va. Wednesday.
Teachers and pupils resumed their
scholastic duties Tuesday morning
with a good attendance. hoping to
make 1917 banner school year.
1t came about that Miss Pauline
Watson, Miss Carrie Watson and Mr.
Watson came to this section each
engaged in business and yet none Of
the Watsons knew each other and
no trace of relationship exists. In
the course of short time each Wat
son married someone of this neigh
borhood. Conclusion-It is danger

territory, for they are usually cap
