LAR PHRASES,
It Appears to baa Case ot Guuiswork iq
Deafly fnetanoee and Poor Work at That,
—A Particularly' Solemn Dissection of
Wallace's "Popular Sayings Dissected,"
"Many things he knew, and he knew
them all wrong," says that oldest of
satires which Greece attributed to Homer.
Mr. Wallace, author of "Popular Sayings
Dissected" (Unwin) &,news many thing$,
bat he is far from knowing theta all
right, ,Tho,prigin of qld bywords' is a
pleasant and curious study tint it may
just as well be prosecuted with some ac-
curacy and method. 11 at all. The popu-
lar plan is to invent a little fable for any,
saw which seems obscure. Let" us take
the phrase "in the wrong box." Mr. Wal-
lace tells us that it is said to have origin-
ated with Lord George Lyttelton a man
of Melancholic) .temperrinent. ". Who was
,void George, Lyttelton? ie we to Sethi
'George, Lord Lyttelton? In any case;' dies
said that at Vauxhall "he was always
supposing pleasure to bo in the box next
to him, which meant that ho was always
In the wrong box for it himself. "-0 Per-
haps he did say that he was '14n the
wa•ong box." But the soientfio way of
tracing the phrase Is to look for it in
English literature, backward. We have
;not 'consulted Dr. Murray's new English
Dictionary, but "the Greeks aro 1n the
wrong box" occurs as early as 1684, in
B. R.'s Translation of two books of Hero-
dotus. B. R. is fond of colloquial ex-
precisions, bordering oh slang, arid" "the
wrong box" woe one of these, centuries
before "Lord .George Lyttoltozl. " If Eric
of Sweden first used the term "cook your
goose," we should at least bo referred to
the saga which says as much. Mr. Wal-
lace gives, as an alternative theory of
'"the dumps," that Dumops. King of
Egypt, built a pyramid, and died of mel-
ancholy. It may be so, and Dumops is as
Egyptian a word, as Cheops (Khufu), but
we desire a reference for Dumops. It is
our impression that the West Indian
negroes call a ghost "a duppy;" here a
"daffy" is mentioned as a possible ex-
planation of "Davy Jones's Locker."
Authority is needed for "daffy."
"A feather in a cap" may bo deri' od
from Azteo and Chinese customs. - But,
as a Highlander of noble birth (or a
Swiss, according to Scott)proclaimed his
gentility by wearing an eagle's feather 1n
his cap, we need scarcely go to China or
Anahuac for the origin of the saying.
Where and at what date is it first found
in literature? Me. Wallace dons not say,
and, till we leraow, there is nothing to bo
learned frim vague conjuoture. Ht
speaks 0' ite calmly About a tax on noses,
instiV ted by Odin, as ,if Odin wore a
cha-acter more historical than Huttzilo-
Pe;chtli.. "Turning the tables" he derives
"from a craze for expensive tables, as
under Augustus. Here, again, a pedigree
is necoseary. We must be shown that
temporary Roman slang descended
through the Middle Ages into modern
"English" '''Solvunturtabulae, is at least=
as probable as a guess. "All my eye and
Bettv Martin" is derived from "Ah mihi,
beatae Martini," and how is that to bo
construed? What is tho "ace or the dice
used by the Romans?" "Canes" aro aces,
of course, "damnosi subsiluere canes,"
but perhaps for "or" we should road
"on. " If the "institution" of cat's
cradle to derived from a Christian refer-
ence, at least the game is played by
heathens unconscious of Christianity.
The heathen. we are told, "worshipped
on the heath, and not in temples." In
what language? Mrs. Grundy is derived
from "Speed the Plough," a play written '
by Bishop Morton in the sixteenth cen-
tury. We had supposed that "Speed the
Plough" was a drama of rather more
modern date. "French leave" is really,
in English, the same as to take leave a
1'Anglaise, in French, that is, to with-
draw from company without a formal
farewell. We doubt if military operations
have anything to do with this saying.
"Tho Curse of Scotland" (the nine of
dtamond8) is, we think, correctly referred
to the Cross of Scotland, the pips were
arranged in a St Andrew's cross. Myths
about an evil message written on the
baok of 'the card cover history (row
Fotheringay to Culloden, and include
Glenco.
"A miss is as good as a mile" has been
ingeniously read "Amts is as good as
Amile. " Those two knights, Amis and
Amino, to the old romance, aro exactly
equipollent. Mr. Wallace puts it "Amyl
is as good as a Minos." The coincidence
may be fortitous. That cad is derived
from "cadever," a non -university man,
we shall be more Inclined to believe
when examples are given of cadever In
that sense. "It is caviar to the multi-
tude" is usually quoted with a slight
difference. "To call a spade a spade"
"is found on Aristophanos at their finger
ends. On Wallace's readers are likely to
have Aristophanes at their finger end&
On the whole these minor diversions of
philology aro only trustworthy when back-
ed by quotations and exact references. In
the absence of these, we may know a
great deal, but, like Margltes, we are
likely to know it all wrong. When we
say "sleep like a top," we do not mean
"like a taupe" or a mole. A top does
"sleep," as every one who ever spun a top
knows. Again, to travel out of Mr. Wal -
lace's range, when we say that a bottle
of wine is "corked," we mean "corked,"
not "caulked," as some etymologists de-
clare. In stripping cork from the tree
trunk the trunk is occasionally wounded.
A drop of aorid juice gets into the bark,
and a bottle cork made out of that bark
corks the wine. This opnton, at least,
has good practical backing. All far-
fetched derivations are not necessarily
correct.
lt'oair Cents' Worth of ran.
Anie'r`idan naval officers now in Wash-
ington,w'ho were recently in China, tell
of a day they spent ashore looking for
sport. For a fewyen, amounting to about
four cents, they secured the services of
two Chinamen to fight for their entertain-
ment. The fight went on bravely, and, as
fights go in China, not being up to the
American hippodrome style, one of the
Chinamen was whipped. But he was an.
gry. As he moved away from the scene
of combat he found a stone, and, turning
upon his late antagonist, struck him a
blow that killed him. The murderer was
speedily beheaded, but the authorities de-
cided that it was no concern of the Amer-
ican officers if a murder resulted from
their plan of amusement. One of the
younger officers remarked: "We not only
got a fight, but a killing and an execution
all for four cents. You couldn't beat those
rates."
The Montreal Gazette, which during the
-time Hon. A. Mackenzie was Premier,
abused and vilided him in every way pos-
sible, now speaks of the noble old Liberal
as "undoubtedly a good man in every good
sense of the term-" Mr. Mackenkie is dead.
The voice that now pays him this tardy
but just tribute was one of the busiest and
loudest in concocting falsehoods to defame
him and in misrepresenting his actions to
thejeanadian public. It pursues the same
coarse with prominent Liberals today.
Yet death does not change the character of
a principal or an action.

COLD IN THE HEAD AND HOW TO

One of the most unpleasant and danger -
one maladies that afflicts Canadiang at this
Beason is cold in the head. Unpleasant,
because of the dull, heavy heaeache, in-
flammed nostrils and other disagreeable
symptoms accompanying it; and danger-
ous, because if neglected it develops into
catarrh, with its disagreeable hawking and
spitting. foul breath frequent lose of taste_
and smell, and' in many cases ultimately
developing into consumption. Nasal Balm
is the only,:remedy yet discovered that will
inetantly relieve cold. in the head and cures
in a few applications, while its faithful nse

catarrh. Capt. D. H. Lyon, president of
the C.P.R. Car Ferry, Presc.at, Ont., says
—"I used Nasal Balm for a prolonged case
of cold in the head. Two applications ef•
feeted a cure in lees than 24 hours. I
would not take 5100 for my bottle of Nasal
Balm, if I could not replace it." Sold by

There is a cry in .fipple quarters for the
sappreseion of Radclive. the Canadian
hangman. Radolive takes great pride in
his gruesome work and his strutting has
offended many. Still, if society wants
hanging. If men are to be hanged, it is to
be desired that the job be well done, and
if an artist in his line is secured we ought
not to grumble if he takes a pride in suc-
cessful jobs. Radolive is merely the hand
with which we—each one of Society's them-
bers—grasp the throats of the condem-
ned and strangle out their liyes. He, does
our work. Still those who dislike"their
servant do not need to clink glass with him
or introduce him in their parlors or
clubs.
Swallowing Accident,.
The doctors of the London hospitals
have an incredible number of patients
who have swallowed strange things. Of
- course, children are the most frequent
sufferers.
The commonest objects that they swal-
low are small metal whistles and tin
"squoakers. " The most dangerous of
toys for very young children are the India
rubber air balloons, which can bo inflat-
ed by moans of a small mouthpiece.
Those can most readily be drawn in by
the breath, and then each succeeding re-
spiration inflates the India rubber bag.
These have caused scores of deaths, and
so have thimbles. A child sees its
mother's bright thimble, and there is
no worse article to swallow. Among
grown-up people, young women of the
domestic and working class are the most
frequent patients, this being because they
habitually carry small articles in their
mouths, and are often prone to what is
called "larking." Only a wee or two
ago a cook in a West -End mansion swal-
lowed a small glass vial containing
flavoring essence. The physicians have
not been able to do anything for her yet
One of the strangest cases of this kind
on record was that ot a gentleman who
about two years ago was treated at'ono o1
the London hospitals, he having swallow-
ed a tiny live tortoise. He had bought
several of these creatures, and was amus-
ing his children by pretending to eat
them alive, and so on, when ho actually
swallowed one. It was several days be-
fore the creature was even killed. Scores
of these cases come from public bars,
where people seem fond of attempting
Illy tricks with coins, pencil cases and
rings. Tho present Earl of Granville has
below his vest a half drown, swallowed
during the course of a conjuring enter-
tainment when he was a lad. Only the
other day a man died at Greenwich
through swallowing one of the noisy toys
called a siren, and no medical aid could
1 save him.
