HOW PHRASES ORIGINATE.
Some of the phrases in com
mon use today are hundreds of
years old.
Take, for instance, "There's
many a slip 'twixt cup and lip.."
This dates back to an ancient
king of the island of Samos, in
the Grecian Archipelago.
The king had planted a vine
yard, but one of his slaves, whom
he had ill-treated, predicted that
broken into the vineyard and
was doing great damage, says a
Pittsburg dispe.tch.
The king hastily put down his
untouched cup, siezed his weap
ons and went out. But in the
chase he was killed, so the proph
ecy of the slave was fulfilled.
"Done to a turn" is said to
have originated from the mar
tyrdom of St. Lawrence. He
was sentenced to be roasted alive
on a gridiron. The story goes
that during his torture he calm
ly requested his attendants to
turn him over as he was thor
oughly roasted on one side.''
Hence the phrase, "Done to a

Miss Jane Addains? It is al
most 20 years since Miss Addams
first took up her residence in
Hull House, and began her set

of Chicago. Under her able
direction Hull House has devel

Eusope, it is pointed out, there is a fixed
standard, which is not enly reliable, but
satisfactory to hopgrowers as well as to
hopbuyers. The whole question is dis

which has been prepared by W..W.
Stoekberger, one of the hop experts of
the department. ; '
to attend lectnres, debates and
theatrical entertainments; to
gain instructions in industrial
arts; to take part in its club life;
and to study literature, science,
history, civics, the languages
and the fine arts. Originally it
comprised only four rooms on

until it might figurativelv be
called a city within a city. Its
fame has gone forth over the
world, and the name of Miss Ad

"Except in the United States

Josiah Strong, president of the

In this behalf. I have visited
