The foundation of granite and Wilke son stone surrounds the old founda- tion built in the early "90s and aban- doned during the Governor Rogers’ administration, when the Thurston courthouse was purchased, tol building.

Termagant, a shrew; originally the | name of a Saracen god. - Utopia, an ideal commonwealth; the fictitious scene of Sir Thomas Morris's Tomance, “Utopia.” Sortes Biblicae, telling one’s fortune by consulting the Bible. The first pas sage touched at random by the finger lg the decisive passage. The phrase palmy days originated in the Roman gladiatoriai covtests. A victorious gladiator received a palw branch as his reward of heroism. White elephant aptly describes some- thing you don’t know what to do with. The King of Siam sent a white elephant to a courtier whose fortune he wished to destroy. Avoiding Scylla, he fell into Charyb- dis, is like the modern “out of the pan into the fire.” Scylla and Charybdis were two opposite rocks ip the Straits of Messina. To go to Canossa means to eat hum- bie ple. Canossa is a town in Italy where Kaiser Heinrich 1V went to bumble himself before Pope Gregory VU (Hildebrand) in 1076. Tune the old cow died of, signifies words instead of alms. In an old song a man who had no fodder for his cow sang to her: “Consider, gvod cow, consider, this isn't the time for grass to grow.” RACIAL PECULIARITIES Abyssinians use small blocks of salt for “small change.” The Persians have a different name for each day of the month, The Turk believes amber removes all injurious effects of nicotine, Dried white mulberry 1s one of the principal articles of diet of Afghan- istan, The Hindoos have no word for “friend.” The uearest approach to it is “brother.” Because of religious prejudice the Hindoo will use no soap in which there is animal fat. The Somalis, who are Mohamme- dans never touch wine or other alco- holic beverages. The Mohammedan wears no silk. It is the product of a worm and he be- Neves it unclean. Wheat, frult and skins, instead of money, are the mediums of exchange emong the Mesopotamians. The day of the Brabmins {s divided | by their clock into sixty hours of twenty-four minutes each. FARM JOURNAL SAYS: No farm is better than the man who runs it. What this country needs Is fewer politicians and more mules. There Is a time to be proud; but let somebody else tell you when that is. It is a mistake to cut down a tree unless you know where you are going to get another one. Every man is a good pilot in a smooth sea; but when the wind blows, then we find out who knows the most. Guest—"I should like a sulte of rooms that is clean and fresh.” Clerk— “Front!
