Tokens Issued to Cover
Metallic Coin Shortage

Early in 1862 all metallic curren-
cy In the United States was grad
ually withdrawn from circulation.
Many citizens anticipated the pos
sible increase in value of all metals
and began boarding gold, silver
and copper to such an extent that
soon no metallic coins of any de-
nomination were In CIRCULATION. 1t
then became necessary for trades
men to issue medium that would
meet the supply caused by the de-
ncfency Of government currency.
The first Of these Civil war
tokens appeared in Cincinnati in
the fall Of 1852 and began to cir
culate in New York In the spring
Of 1868. The first made in New
York was the Lindenmueller cur
rency, Of which there were 1,OO0,-
600 pieces struck. Then William
81. Bridgens, the die cutter, issued
the Knickerbocker currency, con-
s1sting Of numerous varieties and
struck In large quantities. 1t was
estimated that not less than 25,-
100000 Of these private tokens
were issued throughout the eastern
and middle western states until
the government, by an act Of con-
gress in 1884, put a stop to their
issue.
These little coins were usually
accepted as 1 cent. The value
placed on them today by collectors
is 8 cents.

Phrases Now Familiar
Traced to Their Source

Speaking of getting the sack"
in the Seventeenth century mechan-
les carried their tools In a big bag.
When man was fired his sack
was handed back to him that he
might pack up his belongings and
hunt new job. There is another
story Of the origin Of the phrase,
and it's somewhat horrendous. A
certain sultan, upon firing Of a
wife, would have her tied In sack
and cast into the sea.
Humble pie" comes from Eng
land, and it's a pun. The umbles
are the heart, liver and entrails Of
the deer. When the lord Of the
manor dined on venison. the umbles
were made into pie for the serv-
ants.
"Humbug" is straight Irish. It
comes from "uim bog" pronounced
humbug, which means soft copper
or worthless money.
And we say "by hook or crook"
because in feudal times tenants
were allowed to collect firewood by
hook or crook. They were permit
ted as much Of the underwood as
could be cut with a crook, and as
much of the loose timber as could
be collected from boughs with q
hook.-Golden Book Magazine.

Lands Of Interest Seen
by Visitors to Tropics

One Of the quaintest places In
the world is the little Dutch island
Of Curacao. The island itself Is
like bit Of old Holland, with a
tropical flavor lent by its red
rooted houses, palm trees and warm
climate.
Martinique is French and IA
nous for the garish, bright colorful
costumes Of its native women. The
City st. Pierre is an awe-inspiring
sight. Once it nestled cozily at the
foot of Mount Pelee, a lowering vol
cano which blew its own head off
back in 1902 and wiped out the
city below. Today it Is in ruins,
covered with lava dust, a city of
the dead.
Trinidad, 'Iand Of humming
BIRDS" is a city of flowers, Of
strange peoples and races, and the
home of the world-famous Pitch
lake Of La Brea, from which comes
asphalt to pave the roads of the
world. Here are many Hindus,
remnants Of East Indian slaves in
PRODUCED into the island in 1889.
The men wear flowing white robes,
turbans and silk blouses, while the
women carry their family wealth
with them at all times in the shape
Of gold rings, anklets, heavy ear
rings and silver bracelets which
cover their arms from wrist to
elbow.

Shakespeare Shown a.
Borrower of Proverbs

Shakespeare has been given the
credit for many q saying which he
did not originate. Like storymak-
ers and playwrights Of this day, he
undoubtedly Incorporated into his
dramas many a proverb and home
ly saying already perfectly ia
miliar to his audiences. In the
second act Of Hamlet" he makes
his posturing hero say: II am but
mad north-northwest, when the
wind is southerly, I know a hawk
from 4 handsaw."
The connection between a bird Of
prey and carpenters tool hardly
is obvious. But the fact is, Shake
speare was simply quoting a IA
miliar proverb of his day-a cor
ruption Of a still older proverb, the
sense Of which was that a person
could be so ignorant as not to be
able to distinguish between q
"hawk and a heronshaw"! Now, a
heronshaw-or herneshaw, as It
was sometimes spelled and pro-
nounced-was a species Of heron
often preyed upon by the hunting
falcons. So not to be able to tell
the bird of prey from its harmless
victim was an indication Of stupid
fly, and vice versa.-Boston Tran
script.

Pisa of Pisano

So many people make flying WIS.,
its to Pisa attracted alone by the
leaning tower as a phenomenal
structure, forgetting that the group
monuments - cathedral, baptistry
and tower-are the finest possible
examples of Romanesque architec-
ture in Italy, built 800 years ago
by Nicola Pisano and his son,
Giovanni-both such masterpieces
of sculpture, that every artist for
the last 500 or 900 years with as
pirations to carve in stone or wood
has studied them.
German Philosophy
The Spenglerian theory of ma
lions refers to the philosophy de-
veloped by the German writer, Os-
wald Spengler, in his book, "The
Decline of the West" written be-
fore the World war and appearing
just after it. This book views CIV
ilization as the coming war would
flnd 1t. 1t is a German philosophy
which attempts the venture of pre-
determining history, of following the
still unraveled stages In the des-
tiny Of a culture and specifically
Of the only culture of our time
and on our planet which is actually
In the phase of fulfillment-the
west European-American. It also
attempts to describe the compare
tive morphology Of world history.

Sees Future for Sudan

One cannot help admiring the
courage and optimism of those men
who made possible this desert
mail" who opened up the Sudan,
laid out cities, built irrigation
dams, blew up the Sudd, and made
the Nile navigable- short, made
the Sudan not only a country At
to live in, but a country with a, fu-
ture. For a future it undoubtedly
has. Cotton and irrigation are its
slogans. And it is only through
the optfmists who came in with
Kitchener in 1893 that the Sudan
1.-The country of the blacks" and of
the Arabs-has become a white
mans country with a great future.

First Alphabets

The Greeks appear to have been
the first to invent an alphabet in
which the single sounds of their
language, vowels as well as con-
sonants, were expressed by a series
Of letters. There was connection
between the Greek alphabet and
the one used by the Semites Of
Syria, suggesting that 1t was
brought to the Greeks by the Phoe-
nicians. It is true that some
writers attribute the invention of
the alphabet to such mythical char
acters as Prometheus and Cadmus.
It is probable that the Greek alpha
bet is an adaptation Of the con-
sonantal alphabet invented in
Syria. 49, 49, .... s.,e.-.

In the higher reaches Of the
Rocky mountains in the northern
part Of Montana lives a species of
mosquito that hibernates during
the winter, under logs and in shell
tered spots, and may be seen fly
ing on the first warm day Of
spring. These mosquitoes are
large, with spotted wings, and
often are referred to as snow mos
quitoes. According to Drs. N. Kad-
letz and L. Kusmina, Russian
scientists, these mosquitoes store
up fat In the summer, as do bears,
and subsist on it while doing
through the winter.
