When Davy Crockett was on his way from his Tennessee home to Texas to fight for the new republic he rode over- land with some chance friends from Little Rock to Fulton. One day they were startled by hearing the high notes of a distant violin playing a rollicking "Hello, there! Turn back?" shouted the men who came through the field. "I can't," replied the fiddler.

In his "Highways snd Byways In Devon and Cornwall" Arthur H. Nor- way telld of a fragment of antignity that still "lingers in the neighborhood of Redruth, where the country people when they see a ghost say, 'Numny dumny!"" and he adds, *I leave the riddle to be solved by any one who is curious enough to undertake a useful piece of practice in unraveling the cer- ruption of language." The phrase is probably a eorruption of "In nomine Domini" the Latin for "In the name of the Lord," a phrase so familiar in the devotion of the middle ages. His Compliment. A few weeks back a wedding break- fast was given by a substantial farmer blessed with five daughters, the eldest of whom was a bride. A neighbor, a young farmer, who was honored with an invitition, thinking no doubt that be ought to say something complimen- tary upon the event, addressed the bridegroom thos: "Well, you have got the pick of the batch."

"What did you say?" dsked an Eng¢ ish gentleman. "I spoke In Spanich" was the ré joinder. "I said, 'I cast myself at your feet," which, I am told, is the most re- spectful form of salutation." "Ah, no," corrected a Spaniard, who had been observed to smile at the am- bassador's greeting. "You are mis, taken. You transposed your words and quite altered the meaning." "What did I say?' asked the diplo mat, } With a twinkle In his eye the Span: fard madé answer, "What you really sald was, 'I throw my heels at yous head."

The four ounce glove was mmknows to the ancient pugilist When the boxers and fighters came together in the old days of Greece ey wore np on their hands the cestus, which wai in itself a terrible adjunct to any fighter. But Dr. Daniel G. Briton dis covered that there was sometimes at tached to the cestns a deadlier weap on, consisting of a three pronged fork of bronze This was known as the myrmex, and Dr. Brinton, who found this specimen gave it to the museum of archaeology in the University of Pennsylvania, Classical literature has frequent ref: erences to the myrmex, which is de: scribed as the deadliest weapon of the ancient pugilist. The right hand was swathed in tough hide, bound in place with thongs and supplemenited by small knobs of lead or iron, to which was affixed the myrmex. Dr. Brinton made his discovery in Paris by ex: amining the Greek and Roman mar bles In' ¥hE Touvre: groups represented a fighter bearing on his right fist the cestus and myr mex. Oombats in those days were much more brutal and dangerous than these of the modern prize ring. It is easily seen that a single blow of the myr- mex might cause death or permauent injury | SAVED THE SCENE.
