ORIGIN OF SOME PHRASES.
Some Queer Expressions Date. Back
Hundreds of Years. •
Have you ever wondered how some
of the queer words rind expressions
we use to -day first came into the
language? :"
The expression "Raining cats and
dogs" originated in the days when
seamen used to refer to waves on
.the water before a storm "as "cat's
paws," whilst the dog.has ""always
been regarded in northern mythology
as symbolic of wind. Consequently,
when a heavy rainstorm was accom-
panied by high winds, sailors would
say, "It was coming down cats and
dogs."
We still use the expression "big
wig," although these articles are a
fashion of the past: In other days,
however, a persona importance was
judged by -the size of the wig he
wore, and therefore the highest in
the land were known to the less -for-
tunate
or-tuna a as "bi wieget' -
" lin mone "is an,expression that.
serves to remind us of the days when
pins were expensive, and husbands al-
lowed their wives special sums for
their purchase. • Later on the expres-
sion yeas applied to a wife's pocket
money. r ..__ a
An'biher word that lies an interest-
ing origin is "handicap." This is
probably derived from 'hand in the
lap," as in former times, it was the
custom to draw lots from a hat or
cap. r•Gnxaw,gb"T t,'3o.h-...

The origin oe ,the ring is lost in
the 'dim mist of tini.e 'tvtlr:ell precedes
history, but it is :supposau that rings
were used, not as• articies of endear -
meet, but as symbols of slavery.;

all his household slaves, including
his wives ,( for a wife in those days
was but part of a husband's movable
Iiruyuf‘.l j. Thu custom survives to
this day in the ceremony_ of the
bridegruoui plaiing a ring on hie
•oridc e finger.
The designs of rings have varied
greatly° at different periods or •his-
gory. • The most simple forIn, o'L
course, is the plain ring close -fitting
to the- finger and without ornament.
This is generally the product of au
g2 which hadlittle skill in the arts,
but it must bo remembered that the
wedding ring of to -day is of . tnis
type, though it has the fine finish
that modern machinery can give.
One of the eldest known rings ie
of green porcelain, inscribed with
Egyptian characters.
A ring like this was found in the
Great Pyramid, tomb of Pharaoh, and
another, is In existence which is said
to be 'that worn by Joseph in virtue
of his office as C-overnor of Egypt
In Roman times many rings wed='
made of bronze as well as of golc
!There exists a bronze ring on whi
is engraved a head of Socrates ane
one ornamented with a design whiez'
serves also for a key, In earl:
Saxon times rings were made whit.:
look like miniature sofa -springs.
Some rings which are still prese
ed have an historical interest. Th
Borgias sometimes murdered tnei.
victims with the aid of a preisonec
ring. Poison rings were general;}
set with some precious stone,' ant
the poison was secreted behind 'Ile
Mount for the stone. From there
fine needle conveyed the poison to tin
inner side of the ring.
Sir Walter Raleigh's single -Stolt:
diamond ring is famous. With it he
wrote on a window: -
"Fain would I climb but that`I real
to fall."
To which. `Gueen Elizabeth added:
"If thy heart fail thee do not cline!:
at ail."
Mary Queen of Scots presented the
ill-fated Darnley with a heavily
ornamented gold ring. On the ob
verse side, beside a crown and lici
rampant, is the name, "Henri L.
Darnley." On the reverse side are
Mary's initials. Shakespeare's rin;
was of platin gold with a circular
gold plate on which are the initial,
"W.S.,,
Some 'fabulous prices have beer:
paid for rings. The Empress Faus
tina paid $200,000 for one, and tilt
Empress Domitia gave $300,000 foe
another:
THE HALL Or THE WINDS.
Building In India . Is Imposing, If
Unique.
There is a wonderful variety in
the architecture adopted by Indian
C.tan
rulers for the building of their pal-
aces, and some ofti them are of con-
siderable merit.
But the Hawa Mahal, or Hall of
the Winds, built by the Maharajah of
Sa.ipur, certainly stands out for
uniqueness, at any rate. It is wore*
imposing building, facinghe main
street near the entrance to the palace
in which he resides, and is of a sin-
gularly vivid rose -color, rising in the
form of a pyramid, bristling with a
nine -storied facade, composed • of a
hundre i hell to rets and. sixty-nve
projecting }viedeivs, adorned with
colonnettes and balconies, pierced in
openwork with countless flowers eft;
out in stone. No wonder that one
traveller seeing it, exclaimed, "1.,
vapoury, impossible, construction."
But it was one oftbe eh.i•
d'oeuvre -poi the faTous Joy SiiT&
and he was very proud of his handl-
Pew would call the build;
eantiful, though it can claim to
fantastic. This wonderful structure
is made 'of brick covered with,stucr
and when it is freshly decorated, c::
not fail to attract the attention
tna visitor. Doubtless on the (WC -
84.011 of the great processions there ar-
many hundreds of female eyes Ioe•'.
:ng through the innumerable w r
dows in the little balconies. Wa»i i -
called, "The Hall of the Winds," be-
cause its many windows caught ail
the wind possible?
DOES SMOKING HtJRT?
Intelligence Tesis Have Conte Out kit
Favor of. the Smokers.
A nuutber of scientists have recent-
ly been trying to discover what c r-
tact smoking has on mental ct
ciency. Experiments Tilade some ti .
ago seemed to suggest that, alum '.
students, non-smokers did better
exatninations than smokers. The gat
est investigations confirm this.
On the other hand, intelliger -
tests have come out in favor of 11
smokers. • They may not be quit
good in the examination -room
t.hove who never indulge in the soot':
ing weed, but they s'eern more alo
n other ways, '
Scientists are also beginninrg t,
doubt whether smoking is at all hu -i
ful physically. Many ;nen, who a
"as hard as nails" indulge in slue i-
ing. Some of our most noted mod -
taineers are smokers, and even chain-

Since the above Was issued, the ;Premier of the Pro-
vince,Ferguson,incs Hon. Howard Fer Fhas materially altered his
own manifesto, though that manifesto was put forth as
• the result of the moat careful consideration. Even So,
• with all his latest changes, I am unalterably opposed to his
111 policy on the temperance issue and to any fora of Gov -
eminent Control or sale of liquor for beverage purposes.

To Electors of North Huron
On the 1st of December you will be asked to elect a
representative to the Provincial Legislature, and as I ani a
candidate you have a right to know my position and views.
There are many contentious subjects to be settled--
Government
ettled-Government Control vs. 0, T.A., the educational adminis-
tration of the Province, Hydro -Electric affairs, and High-
way matters....But Mr. Ferguson says that the liquor clues;
tion is the main issue. That being the case, I' wish to
state that I am opposed to Government Control as out-
lined by Mr. Ferguson. Government Control should mean
a restriction in the output of liquor insteadof an increase:
Government Control, to be effective, should be in the
hands of those in sympathy with temperance legislation
and not of those controlled by the liquor interests. Gov-
ernment Control may mean revenue, but it is at the ex-
pense of
s-pense"of the general prosperity of the Province. I believe
the. O. T. A., as endorsed by the people on different oc-
casions and by large majorities in North Huron, should be
adhered to and strictly enforced. I believe men should
be elected who are in sympathy with temperance legis-
lation.
Hydro -Electric energy should be .distributed on a
more equitable basis throughout the Province. Revenue
derived from liquor should not be applied to highway ex-
penditure. Premier Ferguson's township school board
bill is not workable and should be withdrawn,
'.
Supple-
mentary grants to teachers' salaries
should
be
based
on
length of service, efficiency and qualification. Elections
should beheld at seasonable times when the views of the
people can be expressed, and once expressed, a,they have
been on several occasions, should be respected;'
C. ,A.kROBERTSON
I scant; absolutely for the O, T. A. and 1C'will sttpporl
• will ,
all such amendments, to the Act as will 'Make it still rrkore.
