Some Phrases in Common Use
Date Back to Mother Country;
Reflect Customs Long Dead

Many phrase in common use TO-DAY
dates back to the mother country, Eng
land, and reflects old customs, long
dead. Long ago in the days of feudal-
ism the dependents of baron or
feudal lord displayed his badge pinned
on their sleeves. Sometimes, while on
nm expedition of their own. these WIS
sails exchanged their badge for that OF
another, to prevent recognition. This
gave rise to the saying: You may
wear the badge. but cannot pin my
faith on your sleeve; I require some
further evidence whence you came
To this day. we hear the expression do
not "pin your faith on It."
Another phrase of old origin came
from an incident of the sixteenth cen.
fury at Westminster In December,
1910, the abbey church of st. Peter
was constituted cathedral, with a
resident bishop. Ten years later this
order was revoked, the diocese of
Westminster being united to that OF st.

Azores Once the Object Of
Scientific Interest Owing
to the Volcanic Eruptions

The Azores islands were made the
objects of scientific interest by the
volcanic eruptions and earthquakes
while the former were alive. Sub
oceanic eruptIons. sometimes plling up
islands which soon disappeared, were
characteristic phenomena.
The Azores comprise three groups
of islands, their total area being less
than that of Rhode Island Their
population Is about 100000, most OF
the inhabitants being Portuguese.
About the middle of the fifteenth con-
fury the Portuguese sent expeditions
20 settle on these islands. One island,
Fayal, was presented by Alfonso V
of Portugal. to his aunt, Isabella,
duchess of Burgundy. II was upon
her marriage to Philip the Good, duke
of Burgundy, that he founded the
famous knightly order of the Golden
Fleece.

War, Execution Of Saloons
and Disappearance Of Free
Lunch ROOmS-Hobo No More.

What has become Of the old-time
hobo?
Not that anybody wants him back
again, but his disappearance is Il mys-
terry.
To be sure, the war cleaned him
out, hut even so, he was diminish
Ing quantity before the bugle called.
Chief Thomas Shaughnessy Of Mad
ison, Wis, like many other police
chiefs, reports that the tramp has
ceased to be problem for him and
that the hobo Is extinct.
Despite the war, 1t Is still puzzle
to Mndlson's custodian Of the law what
has become of the zoos hobOes who
have disappeared from Madison in the
last I'VE years. In 1914, the Ntal
number Of dodgers at the police sta
ton was 2,S20, in comparison with 215
in 1919.
The extinction or execution Of the
saloon Is one contributing factor to
he lack Of "boes" according to Chief
Shaughnessy. Disappearance of free
lunches and slumbering joints have
set the tramps to working for bread
and butter Scarcity of labor during
the war forced lot of the triners to
work. And a lot learned how to work
In the army, says the chief
In 1919. 2,S20 dodgers registered at
the police station; In 1918, 1885, in
1916, 1920; in 1917, 1,0G6; In 1913, 1856;
and In 1919, 215. The almost steady
decrease in numbers is shown by
comparison of the dodgers in the
months OF December during the five
years which show 3l3 dodgers at the
police station In 1914; 5lS IN 1918;
l6G in 1916; 40 In 1917; 10 in 1913, and

Children Provided For in
Inheritance Laws Of BeIuiun

The law Of inheritance In Belgium
Is of Il nature TO promote thrift. or
rather, TO prevent the dissipation of
property, because II makes the family
possessions n common fund In which
children have deiiged rights, observes
an exchange. The law treats the prop
erty of the father and mother as one.
When either dies the whole property
Is valued and half goes to the sur
vivor. The remaining half is divided
into equal parts among the children.
On the death Of the other parent the
second half. with whatever accretlons
he or she may have made In the in
terval, Is subdivided among the chill
dren. The law is automatic, the chill
drcn know the proportion In which
they will benefit and the parents can
not ALLEVIATE their property.

Honor Absolutely Individual
and Personal, HoWe'Is Says

Honor Is something else than noto-
riety. which in turn is something very
different from fame or character
Notoriety is current familiarity with n
mans name, which is given by much
mention of It arising from any kind
of conduct. Reputation is favorable
notorlety as distinguished from fame.
which is permanent approval of great
deeds or noble thoughts by the best
intelligence of mankind. But honor
is absolutely individual and personal.
II is conscious and willing loyalty to
the highest inward leading.-Howells.

the burden OF another's conscience,

Identification between the minister
and the soul to whom he or she Is
ministering. Where can we learn this

FEED FOR THE HEN

Many poultry feeders have very

one hen day. This information would
enable them to feed more intelllgently
and more economically.
The question before all poultry
growers is how 10 feed their chickens
more economically and yet get salts

ratons one must remember that any
quick or marked change will have n
bad effect ON the hen. Changes should
be made gradually II takes a month

of feeding and If this new method can
be adopted generally no i'll effects are
likely to follow Frequently new IA
ton is critci2ed. when the fault Is not

making the sudden change. The Uni
versty of Missouri college of agricul-
ture recommends corn two parts, and
wheat, one part. for scratch food. This
constitutes tWo-thirds Of the ration. A
mash consisting of equal parts by
weight of bran, shorts, cornmeal and
beef scrap is recommended for the rest
Of the ration. At present prices for
corn and wheat the scratch food men
toned will cost aboat 81 hundred. At
present prices for mash constituents
bran about S160. shorts $500. corn
meal 81 and beef scrap Si-the mash
would cost SO hundred.
If n hen requires 10 pounds Of feed
per year. 80 pounds scratch food and
20 pounds mash, the cost for grain and
mash would he 50 and 60 cents respec-
lively. Thus the total food cost per
hen per year would he $500.

Many Of his debts were settled by
his mother-in-law. But there seemed
no end to them She soon felt herself
compelled to call halt and became
