How Quaint Explanation of 1t Be-
came Current

How a Quaint Explanation of It Be-
came Current.
The term "pin money dates back
to the seventeenth century, when the
modern pin was invented. After that
time the maker was allowed to sell
them openly only. on Jan. 1 and 2, so
that court ladies and fashionable
danes alike were compelled to buy a
large quantity to last them over the
year. So extremely important was
this yearly purchase that husbands
gave their wives large sums of money
for the pins. By and by pins became
cheaper and cheaper, and women spent
their allowance on other vanities, but
the term "pin money" remained in use
for all spending money.
The expression 'salt money is an
other such. This dates very far back
when the Roman workers in the salt
mines were paid in salt The salt they
got in return for their labors was
called in Latin 'salarium,' or salt al
lOwance. The word salarium later on
was applied to the fees men got for odd
jobs. For instance, the Roman noble
would say, For patching my toga
will give the fellow slight salarium-
a bit Of money to buy salt with FL
nally salarium came to mean wages,
salary, what it does today. When we
say "a man is not worth his salt we
mean that he is not worth his salary
or wages

How to Rid Cats and Dogs of the Pest

!. Attention has been called to the fact
that care must be taken in using tar
camphor on dogs to rid them of feas,
not to let them lick their fur before
the tar camphOr has been brushed off.
Tar camphOr never should be used on
cats, for they naturally lick their fur
to keep it smooth. and in this way the
camphor will get into the alimentary
canal and poison the animal. A valu-
able cat treated with the camphor had
to be killed to put it out of it's agony.
But in the case Of dogs this danger is
