In wak- ing in the morning he complained of . . being weak; a physician was sent for. but before his arrival be died from heart failure, He was in his peventy-Afth year, ' For Sel. ! with no tone, ll is. explained in the child, though its jane of 'the And many estimable peo- ple never think of using suc brow word as "excoriate'" oaly cirlise they do rot know it, are horri- fied at the idea of "to take the hide off,' a literal translation much more vigorous, As for the idea of using the word jag' in a respectable sense, why, it is laughable! For, though every one understands what is pieant when it is said a man "has a jag on," very few know that back in 1597 it was spell. ed "jagge' and meant a load Thus a man "carrying home a jagge" was probably only a respectable English farmer driving home a load of hay or some equally barmless material, Among other pedigrees it is found that "eats" and feed" were used in their modern sense in the eleventh century, that a cheat is. called a "piker" in "Piers Plowman," a very old poem, and going way, way back, the exact counterpart of 'we take the cake' is found in the works of Aristophanes, the ancient Greek playwright To complicate things still further much of our slang is found in use by the most reputable of writers aod in the greatest literature. Such a sen- tence as 'She was 3 respectable old guy," comes from 'Vanity Fair;" Oliver Goldsmith (1768) uses "a sure thing," and again says ip bis play, 'The (Good-Natured Man," "You must do him." "Cut it out" is found fn S Sheridan #¢ Critic' and in "Tom Jones;" 'gone to the wall" comes 'from the venerable "Pilgrim's Progress," and 'none of your jaw" is found in Smollet. Thackeray is credited with. - "the real stuff' and "the cheese," and Chaucer uses "1 guess" in the line: "Of twenty yeer of age he war, 1 gesse."' Charles Dickéns is also guilty of using what is now at any rate term- ed slang In "Hard Times" he uses the cultivated and most expressive "Take it from me!' and being Dick- ens, he gets away with it, so {to speak - Dying has been expressed in the vernacular in quite a number of "To kick the bucket," for in- stance, is one of the most familiar of these. How many know that the term comes direct from the slaugh- ter house? Pigs once, when killed, were fastened to a bent piece of wood known as a "bucket," which was hung up from the ceiling. Se the pig when dead kicked the bucket, and hence the term has come down to us. Minding your p's and q's is an- other curious expression, credited but two derivations. One says that in the old hornbook al- phabet these two letters were 30 sim- flar that constant admonitions {o students to mind their p's and q's were necessary. Another explana- tion is that it comes from the old French dancing masters, who con- stantly warned their pupils to mind their pieds (feet) and queues (wigs) when making a bow. From this be- ginning, the warning came to mean watching all the litte niceties of etiguette and manner. English universities and are responsible for a great many more of our slang expressions, and even for some of our accepted words. There is a curious explanation, for Instance, for the well-known "snob." Sons of the nobility in England are generally registered In schools with a nob (short for nobilis, the Latin for noble) after their names, as John Brown, Nob. After this had become the custom these not of noble birth registered the fact in a similar way by adding S. Nob. (sine nobilitate, without nobility) to their names, and since these aped the manners and airs of the great, the word snob ame to have its present meaning. Many other words called slang are merely mispronunciations of words 'n other tongues. Beefeater, the word ipplied to the British guardsmen and popularly supposed to refer to their wppetites, is the English pronunci- ation of : the 'French word for 'guard," "buffetier." N Those who think "kicking" a 'piece of strictly modern slang will be sur- rised to know that the same word # found in the Bible where Samuel says to EM, "Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice?'

A difference of $69,992,716 be. tween the imports and the exports for the first eight months of 1916 in- dicates to what extent South Africa confinues be an importing nation, while an ipcrease of $41,837,490 in imports [ the first eight months over a responding period in 1915 will reveal the increased percentage of these imports, writes Consul Johp P. Bray, Jehannesburg, South Afric in Commerce Reports. South Africa provided an increas- ingly profitable market for apparel and shoes during the 1916 period. There was a large increase in the im- ports of clocks and watches; but of greater significance is the rise in the value of cotton manufactures from $1,459,995 to $2,950,763. Other notable advances are: Hardware and cutlery, from $461,777 to $729,947; machinery, from $919,909 to $1.- 158,324; oil, from $190,895 to $421,516; leather goods, from $420,- 387 to $789,365; stationery and books, from $221,848 to $418,806; wood and timber, from $279,370 to $404,167, and woolen manufactures increased by $176,104. There were noticeable decreases in imports of eggs by mearly $92,463 in value; meat imports dropped by 1,800,000 pounds and $335,788 in value. Imports of condensed milk were 4,000,000 pounds less, with a value of $291,990; while oatmeal fell by 1,000,000 pounds and $61,804 in value. Sugar imports were less by $58,208. Butter, which is now in- creasing in- importance as an export article, is also imported; but as com- pared with the eight months of 1915 imports: of this commodity for 1916 decreased by 1,350,000 pounds, valued at $382,506 mee------------ Generals in the Ranks. "here is now a general in the British army receiving a privates pay. Possibly readers have guessed at once that it is a case of a man with the Christian name of, ""Gen- eral." He is a native of Burnley, where military names seem to have been rather fashionable. A similar practice has prevailed in the adjoin- ing town of Padibam, which has furnished the ranks with a soldier boasting the name of "'Admiral." It would have been more appropriate if he had chosen the senior service. Not long ago the Padiham Tribunal 'were startled at hearing an appeal announced' from "General -- The surprise subsided as the mem- bers understood that the august- sounding title was the man's _Christ- ian name.
