Name "1obo" Once Given
to the Migratory Worker

A hobo once was defined as a
migratory worker, tramp, or one
who would work when he found an
opportunity. The name was applied
to the travelling and seasonal work
ers in the West. It originated short
ly before 1890 and there are a
number of possible explanations Of
its origin, says a writer in the De-
troit News,
One is that the term arose from
the friendly salutation Of the road,
''Ho, Boy" or Hello, Boy" Another
is that mail carriers on the Oregon
Shore Line railroad in the eighties
used to call ''Ho, boy" when deliv-
ering mail. These mail carriers
came to be called Hoboys and later,
those travelling along the tracks but
not carrying mail were also called
Hoboys or Hobos.
Other derivations from "Hoboken,
hautboy, hoe-boy, homo bonus,
homeward bound" as given in va
rious authorities seem far-fetched.
One authority's distinction between
the tramp bum and hobo was: ''The
hobo works and wanders, the tramp
dreams and wanders, the bum
drinks and wanders."

Name Marie French Form
of Popular Hebrew Mary

Marie is the French form of the
Hebrew Mary and hence may claim
the same four meanings: Bitter
ness" exalted one," rebellion"
and "star of the sea-" Marie, how
ever, is given the additional mean
ing Of companion, or mate" prob
ably because the French noun ma
rice Gin three syllables) means
bride.
Marie is almost as popular in
English as in French and is con-
sidered a different name from
Mary. Sisters, have even been
named Mary and Marie, writes
Florence A, Cowles in the Cleveland
Plain Dealer. Marie is often 4
mans name in France. It was the
first Of the seven given names Of
the Marquis de Lafayette, and was
also the name of President Carnot
of France, killed by an anarchist
in 1894.
Marie Antoinette (1755-99 queen
Of France who met death under the
guiIlotine, is probably the most IA
nous person in history to bear this
name. Other queens have been Ma
RE de Medici I'd. 1922 queen con-
sort Of Henri "; Marie Therese,
consort of Louis XIV; Marie Leszc-
zinska, consort of Louis XIV: Marie
Louise, second wife of Napoleon;
and Marie Amelie. wife of Louis
Philippe.
Other Maries Of the past we're:
Marquise de Sevigne I'd. 1890
whose letters form an accurate
chronicle Of court society Of her
time; Princesse de Lamballe I'd.
1922 intimate friend Of Marie An
toinette and superintendent of the
royal household; LeBrun I'd. 1872
beautiful French painter, also a
friend of Marie Anteinette; Tussaud

Early Cricket Players
Wore Top Hats on Field

Many years ago, during the reign
of Queen Anne, the authorities tried
to put down cricket by law, but the
judges Of the kings bench decided
In favor of the game being allowed
to continue, according to a writer
in the Montreal Herald.
It appears that at the beginning
of the Eighteenth century cricket
became the subject of much gam
bling. This alarmed the authorities
so much that they tried to stop the
game altogether.
Cricket is believed to have been
played as far back as the Twelfth
and Thirteenth centuries.
The actual home of club cricket is
at place called Hambledon, in
Hampshire. Here a club was first
formed in the year 1850 and con-
tinued to flourish until 1891.
In those days all the players
played in top hats
In 1877 the Marylebone club was
formed, which 40 years later took
up it's quarters at st. Johns Wood,
in London, where stands the IA
nous Lords Cricket ground. 1t was
this club that first published code
Of laws for the game, and from that
time the Marylebone Cricket club
or the M. C. c., as it is more popu-
larly called, has been the ruling
authority of the game. The games
played by the Hambledon club took
place on Broadhalfpenny Down, and
there is on this spot a monument
denoting the spot where the matches
were held.

One of the boys at the gu"

time he returned looking very
happy. We thought, of course, he
had had it pulled but he said, "The

don't feel it. 1 feel so jolly because
I have just been to the dentist and
he was out"

Early Records of Irish
Note Their Advanceme

=
Assertion that Ireland was once
known as the Island of Saints and
Scholars" and that at one time
most of the colleges and universities
of Europe were located in Ireland
may be based on the following in
formation, taken from an encyclo-
pedia:
1.-THE first probable records of the
Irish people show that for the times
they were advanced in civilization.
The ancient bards were called
'Fileas' or 'Feardanos. which means
philosophers. Caesar, in his Gallo
Wars" mentions their advancement
In the reign of Eochy the First,
more than 1000 B. c., men of learn
ing, eminent scholars, were by law
ranked next to royalty. A repose
from strife, enjoyed by Ireland at
a time when southern Europe was
overrun with the Germanic hordes,
favored the progress Of learning.
The schools and monasteries found
ed by St. Patrick in the Fifth CEN
fury became the centers from which
went forth many scholars; even
as early as the Sixth century Ireland
became the seat of western learn
ing. Its monasteries were the
schools from which missionaries
proceeded throughout continental
Europe. In the Eighth and Ninth
centuries the, scholars of Ireland
were among the most. distinguished
at the courts of the kings, especial.
ly at that of Charlemagne."

Silver Lusterware Made
in Italy, Spain, Per!

in Italy, Spain, Persia
Lusterware was made hundreds
of years ago in Italy and Spain and
for hundreds of years before that in
Persia. 1t is not known where the
Persians acquired the art, but it Is
possible that they themselves dis
covered the process of applying a
wash of silver or copper to earthen-
ware. It is these metals that give
shining overglaze which is so I'M
like any other ceramic decoration,
writes Alice R. Rollins in the Los
Angeles Times.
The art of making luster was re-
vived or rather rediscovered in Eng
land late in the Eighteenth century.
1t was not so much a rediscovery
of the process used in the Middle
ages as it was a new discovery
by the English, for their method
produced a sheen rather than an
iridescence which distinguishes the
Persian lusterware.
Practically all the potters made
luster in great quantities. Jugs, or
pitchers, jars, bowls, mugs, goblets,
cups, decorative ornaments, saltcel-
lars, plates, creamers, sugar bowls,
candlesticks and host of other ar
ticles were made in this delightful
ware.
Credit for having produced the
earliest luster is by some authorities
given to Leeds, but the honor is
more often given to the Wedgwood
school which included such names
as Wood, Mayer and others.
Many potters. prominent in the
Straffordshire district, Leeds, Swan
sea, Sunderland and other pottery
centerS of England are associated
with the manufacture of luster. 1t is
usually classified according to the
body Of the ware and the form Of
decoration.
The lustrous effects are due to the
application of some metallic oxide
glaze. A solution of platinum is
used in the production Of silver lus-
ter, while the copper and gold or
purple lusters are due to a form
Of copper. The color and texture
are influenced by the strength Of the
oxide and the firing.
