Sir Walter scutt’s explanation of the origin of “tury” as “give me” is not quite the same as that of other in- quirers. According to a high authori. ty, the word is irish for a “pursuer” and was at first given to moss troop- ers, who for their own villainous pur- poses prete wed to be on the side of the crown and the constitution and the rights of property and in that dis- guise haunted the bogs of Ireland, robbing the inhabitants in the name of the king. About 1680 those who “contended for the extreme preroga- tives of the crown” had this contemp- tuous term applied to them by their opponents, and thus we arrive at the meaning of today. Macaulay points out as a curious circumstance that “whig” and “tory” originally applied as a term of insult should so soon have been assumed with pride. An odder lish parties should have taken their titles the one from the bogs of Ire- land and the other from the lowlands of Scotland.—London Times. Gilbert Islands Tipple. | Neither tea nor coffee is drunk in the Gilbert islands, but liquor named kara- fee, or teddy. It is the juice of the co- coanut free, from which it is drawn daily at sunrise and sunset. To obtain it the natives climb up the tall trees and while extracting it keep up a con- stant yelling to let those below know that they are at work. The sap when fresh is a harmless and delicious bev- erage, but after it has been kept a day or two fermentation sets in and it be- comes intoxicating. Karafee does not, however, fiy to the head, but a man who drinks it to excess loses the con- trol of his legs. However, when this befalls a native he has sense enough to remain indoors and shows his face to no one, for if his chief should ever hear of it he would be tried and sen- tenced to hard labor and a heavy fine. In former days a native found intoxi- cated was tied to a tree and received a hundred lashes, the blood fairly streaming down his back. Besides this, all his lands were confiscated to the king forever. Didn't Call Him Names. Mickey's mother visited a young schoolteacher on the east side the oth. er day, says the New York Sun. As the mother's splutterings the teacher bad been calling Mickey “names that no lady would use and no dacint moth- er would stand for.” The teacher thought hard, but could recollect no time when she had given way to an impulse to call Mickey dreadful names. “Sure but you did,” insisted the mother. “lI don’t know what you meant by it, but scurvy elephant is no nice name to call a boy. That's what he said you called him—a scurvy ele- phant.” “Scurvy elephant! No." teacher in a relieved voice; “1 didn't call Mike a scurvy elephant. 1 called him a disturbing element. and I re- iterate my statement.” Mickey's mother went home partiai- ly satisfied, but not quite sure that the teacher hadn't been calling her names too. To the Highest Bidder. Even tobacco buyers have their trou- bles. One of them, who represents a New York house, met a Connecticut man who bad sold his crop. The buy- er was amazed at the price the man said he had received. “You are entitled to more money than that.” “Well,” replied the farmer, “nothing has been paid to bind the bargain.” “Then I'll give you 5 cents more a pound and a bonus of $100 for the crop.” “Agreed,” exclaimed the farmer, and he received a check for the full amount, “Oh, by the way,” observed the buy- er, “who was my rival in this transac. tion?" He was informed, “1 might have known it’ said he sadly. “That man is my partner.,”— New York Press. The Code of Hammurabi. The so ealled “code of Hammurabi” was brought to light during the exca. vations on the =ite of Babylon and is locked upon as being one of the very oldest if not the oldest of all known records. It is believed to be at least 1,000 years older than the Mosaic law. King Hammurabi reigned over Baby- ion about the year 2300 B. C.. and the laws he inscribed on the clay tablets for the most part no doubt long ante- date that time. The Mosaic law is supposed to have been given to Israel about 1200 B. C,, and it would appear, therefore. that the Hammurabi code bas the much greater antiguity.—New York American. Witness My Hand. In the early days only a few schon ars knew how to write. It was then customary to sign a document by smearing the band with ink and im- pressing it upou the paper. accompa- nied by the words, “Witness my hand.” Afterward the seal wax intre- duced as a substitute for the band mark and was used with the words above quoted. the two forming the sig: nature. This is the origin of the ex. pression as used in modern decuments.
