One of the strangest of myths is

extremely useful.

THE ORIGIN- OF
(ODD EXPRESSIONS
INTERESTING FACTS RESPECT.'
ING THEIR. FIRST, USE
The Original "Mee Stocking" -The
Word "Teetotaller'; Was the Out-
come of Stuttering Speech
Once upon a 'tine, as 'else' Otory-
tellers ' say, there Iived in •England.
a theatre manager 01 the bogus type
who was very dilatory in' the 'Matter
of paying his salaries. Now in this
company was a self-willed actor
whose' strong part 'was the ':ghost in
"•Hailrlet." If hie salary was not
forthcoming on a Saturday morning
he 'would exclaim: "Then the ghost
won't weak to -night!" As he was
an indispensable actor he wars al -
Ways paid. Sometimes he received
only`a portion cf hisrsalary, with the
4zomise of the remainder in the
course Of • the performance, and he
would even go 'so far as to hold up the
play just before' the scene when he
entered, until he was maid.
When the Ghost' Walked.
01 course, the manager could not
give his salary to one member of the
company and overlook the •others, so
they ell began to feel a keen interest
in the walking- of the ghost as a
barometer of the pay situation. About
the time of "treasury" on a Saturday
morning they would wait until they
received word by a m bsenger that
the ghost would walk. •
To this day the expression that
"the •ghost walks" is synonymous,
with the paying of salaries not only
in theatres, but in many offices, and
actors assembling for their weekly
!salaries in a not too reliable company
put the question to each other; "Is
the ghost walking?" while, if about
to accept an engagement of a man.
ager of whom they know nothing, they
ask, "Does the ghost walk?"
Another incident whicll occurred hs
England and •gave rise to a popular
expression relates to the warder of
the Tower of London during the bine
of the Plantagenets. He had .what
the citizens of London considered an
exaggerated belief in his own prer-
ogative, and they took offence when
he claimed the right of trapping fish
for this own benefit outside the Trai-
tors' Gate..' Ile placed in the river
a basket or "kiddie" commonly need
at that time, but the people, thinking
he had no right to do so, systematical-
ly made raids on his kiddies and de-
stroyed them. When he found the
damage done to his preserves, hel
would exclaim, "A pretty kiddie of
fish, indeed!" It is easy to sea how
"]piddle would become "kettle" when
the old style fishing basket went out
of vogue and hots the original
mean -
in clungto the expression, «a pretty
kettle of fish!"
The Stuttering of a Prohibitionist.
11 was quite a different class of
at the expression society t]
t e ex on "blue
..si
stocking" acquired rite present signifi-
cance. At the famous club of literary
ladies formed in England about the
middle of the eighteenth century by
Lady Mary Wortley- Montagu, Ben-
jamin Stillintgfleet, who, habitually
wore blue stockings, was a regular
visitor. Blue stockings, therefore, be-
came the recognized badge of member-
ship and a blue stocking to this day
brings to mind a certain type of intel-
lectual and conservative person.
It is a question whether Lady Mon-
tagu and her carele knew that as far
back :as 1400 there was a similar club
of ladies and gentlemen at Venice
which was called the Della Cslza from
the color o£ the stockings worn.
Another Englishman who has sur-
vived in a popular term 'is Riebard
Turner, whose convictions on prohi-
bition were so strong that even his
habit of stuttering slid not restrain
ht?m from lecturing on it in public.
One time. while speaking in Preston,
England, in 1833, oh total abstinence,
he concluded his address with the
word's: "Nothing but tee -tee -tee -total
abstinence will do—that or nowt!" It •
is due to that stuttering conclusion
and not to the fact of :substituting a
tea for intoxicating liquors that a
total abstainer is now known as a
teetotaller.-
