ORIGIN OF “BULL AND BEAR”

These Common Terms Go Back to the Early History of the British . Stock Exchange. o

S 0 well established have the terms “bull” and “bear” become that they are defined even in the least colloquial of dictionaries as “one who spec ulates or wagers upon a rise in stocks” and “one who speculates or wagers on a fall” The commonly accepted explanation of the use of the terms formerly was that the bear claws or pulls the stock down, while the bull tossee it up, at it were, on his horns. But this is really nothing more than a guess, and the real origin of the phrase “bull and bear” is buried somewhere in the early history of the British stock exchange. ’ ' Here, says the Detroit News, it appears that the earliest use of the idea was in the proverb about “selling the bearskin before one has caught the bear,” which was applied to all transactions on the exchange or elsewhere where there was no immediate transfer of goods, but only a payment to be made at some ' future time according as the goods had advanced or receded in price. :

In “The Anatomy of ’Change Alley,” published in 1719, occurs the sentence: ‘“Those who buy Exchange Alley bargains are styled buyers of bearsking,” and in 1744 the terms &}~ pear to have come into common usage, for the London Magazine of that year refers to “bulls and bears,” while George Coleman, in his “Man of Business,” uses them In precisely the same sense in which they are employed at the present time. et

HOW MANY STITCHES IN SUIT?

Some Patient Person Over in England Has Estimated That They Num. ber About 45,000, -

There are approximately 45,000 stitches In the average man’s suit of clothes, according to an announcement recently made in an English paper by some amazingly patient and observing person, presumably a tailor. This result is reached by the following calculation: : =

To the average-size pair of trousers, 8,000 stitches are allotted. Of this number about 5,800 are machine made, the rest being made by hand, chiefly in the form of finishing work to the walist, pockets and- turn-ups, or “cuffs.”

- In the vest or walstcoat there are, he declares, roughly, 5,500 stitches. The percentage of handwork is higher in this garment than in the trousers, the lining usually being put in entirely by hand-made stitches, as well as the finishing work. The figures are 3400 machine, and 2,100 hand stitches. : 2

. But it Is in the coat that the big totals come. In that garment, he says, there are, on an average, 30,000 stitches. The pockets and the large number of seams account for much machine work, while the lining and refinishing entail many hand-made stitches. Of the latter there are more than 8,000 in the average coat. There are also to be taken into consideration the tacking and fitting stitches, which, as above announced, brings the total up to something like a round 45,000, :

Maximillan’s Beautiful Beard.

Maximilian of Austria, ‘“the pale archduke from overseas,” had one of the most nearly perfect beards of all time. . It has been much mentioned in poetry, and is recorded as full of gleams and glints. Ruben Darlo, in one of his Mexican poems, christened Maximilian el Principe de Barbas-de Oro—Prince of the Beard of Gold. Victor Hugo should have been called, says the critic, the Bard of the Elegant Beard. Whiskers of authors rather fascinated Dario. He dedicated verses to the famous Spanish novelist. Don Ramon del Valle-Inclan, as “This renowned Don Ramon with the goat's beard distinguished.” Vg

William Penn Smoked With Women. William Penn has a fine record in the history books. Controversy and colonial muck raking has not sullied: his name. But Willilam Penn smoked with the women. He smoked with them right out in public. In faect, they took puffs fropn the same pipe. Twice at least did this happen. : But it was a peace pipe; a Calumet which he smoked with the big chiefs and the braves and the squaws of the tribes that were selling him land. He made a fine trade for a first-class piece of land, paying for it in part with 300 tobacco pipes, 100 hands of tobacco and 20 tobacco boxes. © =

Had the Laugh on Teacher.

Preliminary to taking the final examination we reviewed /the work we had covered during the semester. The teacher called on me to differentiate between “debit” and “credit,” and when I was almost through reciting, he sald, “Are you reading that?” I sald, “Yes, sir, I—" The teacher interposed with, “I thought so. That isn’t what I wanted you to do.” The class laughed, but I turned the joke on the teacher by completing my sentence with, “I am reading it from memory.”—Chicago Journal, L

CONTRASTS THAT Ai. Good for Pessimist to Dwell on - . ference of Life Today and . Three Centuries Ago.

Just to learn how far we have come. take a look at the present and then glance backward anywhere from three centuries to times within the memory of men who are yet scarcely gray‘headed. Take a walk down Leyden street and gaze on the model log cabin of the type which was once one Of the best dwellings in the chief residential section of the town (Plym~outh), back in 1621 and 1622. Imagine ~what the interior would be lize ou 2 winter day. with only one fireplace harnessed to a chimney which needed a woodlot to .feed it, but was a fine -ventilator. Consider what the furnishings must have been and having completed this mental 'picture drop down several generations to the time of vour great grandmother who used a smaller fireplace to do her cooking, or else had a brick oven instead ‘of a Dutch kitchen or bake kettle for her bread and such, and the bathing facilities were—well, primitive to say the least. ' Yes, and she used candles dipped at home and made her soap in the backyard, the sort which took off dirt all right and seemed to carry along cuticle with it.

Later came wood-burning stoves and still later some cosl was used, but not so very much, for wood by the cart load was brought into town from the back lots and sold daily in town square not 50 years ago. Lumber was sawed by hand at times and the lumber mills used the old slow single sash saw; shingles were rived by hand and split laths can be found in houses about here even now, but they are old ones. Nails were made and window sash formed the winter job. for the carpenter who was building a house. Plenty more contrasts will occur if one srops to think & moment and thinking is just what the really ' successfnl preacher tries to get his audience to do. The foregoing is only the outline of the heads of the sermon about houses and their contents and surroundings.—Old Colony Memorial.

SEES LACK OF IMAGINATION

Cleveland Writer Thinké Blunders of School Children ' Are Less Funny Than They Were.

“It doesn’t seem to me,” says the Cleveland observer, “that the blunders school children make nowadays are as funny as they used to be. 'And .this, as the soclologist will tell you, argues that the school children haven’t the imagination they used to have. It takes Imagination to produce entertalning blunders of this sort, as any school teacher will tell you.” Here are two related by a Cleveland teacher. To the question, “What do you know about George Washington?’ a ten-year-old replied, ““George hit the tree with his hatchet an’ his father sed, who dun it, an’ George sed, I dun it, and his father sed, enny Amer--Ican boy can get to be President, an’ he did.” : - i The other question was, “Who was Commodore Perry?’ This was the answer: “He was out on the lake fighting an’ he said, we have meet the ennymy an’ then they turned him into stone.”—QCleveland Plain Dealer.

“Dead Nebulae.”

There has been photographed a most singular object in the constellation Taurus, the appearance of which suggests the term “dead nebula.” It is a long, straggling mass, which seems to shut out the stars behind it. All round it the stars are strewn thickly, but within lits boundaries very few appear and it Is suggested that these may lie on this side of it. At one point there is a small, bright nebula,- which gradually fades out. The feebler portions of the nebula would almost suggest that a large nebula exists here, but that the major portion of it is dead or non-luminous. In some places the dark object is manifestly darker than the starless parts of the sky around it.—Washington Star. !

Meotor-Car Boat.

A vehicle which is either a motorcar or motor-boat alternately has been designed by a. Philadelphia company, the hybrid being known as an automobile boat. Possessing doors that are absolutely watertight, the body of the “auto-boat” may be screwed up high .above the axles when required for use in surf. Then, when deeper. water has been reached, the steering-wheel which operates the front wheels while on dry land may be used to work the rudder which is In readiness astern.

. Seated in such a vehicle, 2 motorist need fear nothing in the way of water, though it be in the-form of an inundation. All that seems needed now is an adapted “auto-boat” which is capable of flying. ' .

Portable Playhouses. Portable playhouses are a very interesting feature of the Hartford (Conn.) playgrounds. They have red canvas roofs and wire netting walls, and each 18 furnished with a small wooden table, four chairs and a set of wooden blocks. 8o light are: these houses that they can be picked up ang ‘carried about to- different parts of the parks and arranged in different ways—in a circle, in rows as if facing the village street or as country places with spacious yards. In these Lilli putian villages children of the playinghouse age never tire of acting out every phase of community life—playing store and bank, going to church, " going .to the theater and just keepiny house. s ; . : .
