1 RHYM- S THE CHILDREN USE.
The Boy Who Is “It” in English Is a Wolf
in German, a kittle Devil in Japanese,
a Leper in Malagasy, and a Crazy One
in Hawaiian—Use of Counting out
Rhymes.
From the Kern York World.
A dignified professor, with a lia!d head,
began a lecture before the New York Acade
my of Sciences Monday evening in a Co
.fcimbia College class-room as follows:
lEeny, money, miney, mo,
B atch a nigger by tne toe,
Bf he hollers let him go,
Keny. maney, miney, mo.
One-ery, two-ery, ziccory zan,
Wickaboo, woekabo,
Criokabo, crockabo,
Tillery tan.
Ent-ery, mentery, koutery, kail,
Apple seed and apple sail,
Wire, brier. Umber lock,
Three geese in a flock.
One flies east, one flies west.
And one flies over the cuckoo's nest.
Eenery. teenery, tickery, teven,
I'll go marry ten or eleven,
Pin, pan, musky Dan,
Nineteen, twenty, twenty-one.
The dignified professor was Dr. H. Car
rington Bolton, and his subject was “The
Counting-out Rhymes of Children. A
Study in International Folk Lore.” Dr.
Bolton was formerly a professor in Trinity
College, Hartford. He has just returned
from a tour in Europe. He explained to
the audience that these rhymes and many
others which he had picked up in twenty
languages were used by children in their
games to determine who should have the
most undesirable part. A leader repeated
the doggerel rhyme, and the child on whom
the last word fell was set free. Those re
maining went through the same ordeal until
the last one remained, who was “it.” This
“it,” Dr. BoltOn said, is a very polite ex
pression in the games of English-speaking
I children, for in German the one who is “it”
is called a “wolf” inst ad of “it;” in Japa
nese “oui,” or “little devil;” in Malagasy
“bucca,” or “leper,” and in Hawaiian “crazy
one.”
Prof. Bolton said he had collected count
ing-out rhymes in twenty languages, civil
ized, half civilized and barbarous. Among
these languages are the Penobscot Indian,
Japanese, Arabic, Turkish, Malagasy, Bul
garian, Armenian, Swedi h, Italian, Rus
sian, Portuguese, Spanish and Basque. The
Bulgarian child rhymes, he said, were too
pronounced for repetition, but he recited
examplos in a dozen languages. In Dutch
, e had collected fourteen counting-out
k oymes, in German 269, and in English 454.
I altogether, by corresponding with scholars
I in all parts of the world, he had obtained
F -st>9 counting-out rhymes.
One of the most common jingles in all
languages was the familiar
One, two, buckle my shoe;
Three, four, shut the door;
Five, six, pick up sticks;
Seven, eight, lay them straight, etc.
There is a fund of curious allusions in the
doggerel rhymes, Dr. Bolton continued.
Here is one picked up after the expedition
of the Emperor Napoleon into Russia;
The First Lieutenant was so neat
He stopped in battle to wash his feet.
Another, which shows how ancient the
patter is, is:
Nebuchadnezzar, the King of the Jews,
Slipped off his slippers aud slipped on his shoes.
A modern instance showing local coloring
in the United States is:
There was a little rattlesnake,
He ate too much of wedding cake,
And made his little belly ache.
As to the origin of almost all of the child
ren's doggerel, Dr. Bolton said he believed
it descended from remote antiquity. The
leients were accustomed to cast lots in the
bst solemn acts of life. It was considered
- J appeal to the Almighty. In the middle
P casting lots was degraded to a supersti
tion and Christians used unmeaning formu
las to impose on the people, pretending to
cure diseases and forecast the future. In
the well-known doggerel:
Eckery, ackery, Ukery an,
One-ery, two-ery, etc.
The “eckery” is Sanscrit for “one.” It is
probable, Prof. Bolton said, that “ackery”
was originally a word also.
There was only one corrupt Latin verse
that Dr. Bolton could remember. It is:
In hoc Domine, quod.
Duck's foot plump in the mud.
It is probable that the jingles that the
children now use in games were formerly
written on papers and hung around the
flecks of people ill the middle ages to keep
Hff the plague or to cure hydrophobia, gout
Hnd rheumatism.
H Children nowadays, however, are inclined
Ho improve on the old doggerel. Dr. Bolton
Had interviewed a good many children in all
H.nguages and found it difficult to under-
Hbtr.d them. Consonants were not preserved
Hnd vowels were of no account to the child-
Hen. As an illustration of his difficulty,
H)r. Bolton wrote this word on the black-
Koaid:
H I'HTH-OLO-GN-THRU.
J This was the way a man named Turner
■wrote his name, and when asked to justify
His spelling he said:
H “Phth” in “phtisie” is acunded “i,” “olo”
Bin “colonel,” is sounded “ugh,” “gn” in
■‘gnaw” is “n,” and “yrrh” in “myrrh” is
Hounded “r.”
I Dr. Bolton gave this example of the man-
Her in which children change tin rhymes.
Ha the Eastern States there is a jin, lo wiiich
Huns as follows:
Hahn says to John hew much are your geese?
Holm says to John twenty cents apiece;
.ini says to John that is too dear,
Bohn says to John get ut of here.
H On the Pacific coast this has been changed
■ to:
I Chin Chong, Chinaman, how much are your
I Chin Chong, Chinaman, twenty cents apiece, etc.
I The latest discovery dug up by Dr. 80l
I ton was this:
One, two, three, four, five, six. seven,
All good children go to heaven.
All bad children go below,
To keep company with Uuiteau.
A GALLANT HIGHWAYMAN.
An Incident in the Career of Claude
du > all.
From the English Magazine.
The following is an extract, then, from
the “Memoirs of Monsieur du Vail,” con
tainin; the history of his life and death,
whereunto are annexed his last speech and
epitaph:
“Ho with kis Squadron overtakes a Coach
which they had set over Night, having In
telligence of a Booty of four hundred Pounds
in it. In the coach was a Knight, his Lady,
and only one Serving maid, who, perceiving
five Horeseinen making up to them pres
ently imagined that they were beset;
and they were confirmed in this
Apprehension by seeing them whis
per to one another and ride back
ward and forward. The lady, to show
that she was not afraid, takes a flageolet
out of her pocket and plays. Du Vail takes
the Hint, plays also, and excellently well,
upon a flatreoletof his own, and in this Pos
ture he rides up to tho Coach-side. ‘Sir,’
says he to the Personiisn s the Coach, ‘your
Lady plays excollontly, and I doubt not but
that she dances as well. Will you please to
walk out of the Coach, and let me have the
Honor to dance one Currant with her upon
the Heath*’ ‘Sir,’ said the Person in the
Coach, ‘1 dare not deny anything to one of
your Quality and good Mind. You soom a
Gentleman, and your Request is very reas
onable.’ Which said, the Lacquey
opens the Boot, out comes the
knight, Du Vail leaps lightly off his
horse, and hands tho Lady out of the
Coach. They danced, and here it was that
Du Vail performed Marvels; the best Mas
ters in London, except those that are French,
not being able to show such footing as he did
in his great French Riding Boots. The
Dancing being over (there being no violins,
Du Vail sung the Currant himself), he waits
in the Lady to her Coach. As the Knight
vas going in says Du Vail to him: ‘Sir, you
lave forgot to pay the Musick.’ ‘No, I have
tot.’ replies tho knight; and, putting his,
hand under the Seat of the Coach, pulls
out a hundred Pounds in a Bag
and delivers it to him, which Du
Vail took with a very good grace aud
courteously answered: ‘Sir, you are lib
eral and shall have no cause to repent your
doing so: this Liberality of yours shall ex
cuse you the other Three Hundred Pounds,’
and giving the Word that if he met with
any more of the Crew he might pass undis
turbed, he civilly takes his leave of him.
He manifested his agility of body by lightly
dismounting off his horse, and with Ease
and Freedom getting up again when he
took his Leave; his excellent Deportment by
his incomparable Dancing aud his graceful
manner of taking the hundred Pounds.”
That so gifted and elegant a ruffian as this
should, in an age of gayoty and fine man
ners, when morality was never considered,
have met his fate by having a cart pulled
away from under him, is to my thinking, a
melancholy reflection on the ingratitude of
mankind. Why, this was a man after
Charles ll.’s own heart, and not unlike him,
except that he was better looking. To do
the King justice, however, I think he would
have spared the highwayman if he
bad had his way. It was the Judge
who piesided at the trial who hung
the accomplished Claude, as it was the
judge who, with so flagrant a disregard for
right feeling, interrupted the solemn post
mortem celebrations when the defunct hero
lay in state in the Tangiera Tavern, St.
Giles, in a room covered with black cloth,
his hearse blazing with escutcheons, eight
wax tapers burning, and as many tall gen
tlemen with black coats in attendance.
“Mum was the word, as if for fear of dis
turbing the sleeping lion; and the night was
stormy and rainey, as if the heavens had
sympathized with the ladi -s, echoel over
their sighs, wept over again their tears.”
CONQU RED AND CO -QUERDRS.
The Contempt in Which the Arabs
Hold Their French Rulers.
From All the Year Round.
At that ball, as during the whole of my
stay in Algeria, nothing astonished me more
than the evident contempt entertained by
the conquered for the conquerors, but they
seemed inclined to make no effort to throw
off the yoke. It is as if they felt that they
werq conquered, not by the French,
but by some inevitable fate to
whose decree they must bow
with unquestioned submission. On the
other hand, the efforts which the French
make to conciliate the Arabs are almost
abject in the fervor of their humility. That
evening, if one of the sheiks condescended
to stroll into the ball-room, half a dozen
official personages advanced to bid him wel
come; the Governor aud his wife over
whelmed him with attention, and a special
officer was told off to walk by his side and
give him any information he migtit require.
If this were done in the hope of exciting
gratitude it was labor in vain; the sheik re
ceived the advance of his entertainers with
stately courtesy, but evidently regarded all
homage as his just due.
Nor is it only in the palace that this ex
traordinary inversion of the usual relation
ship between the conquered and the con
querors exists; m the streets, public assem
blies, everywhere, the same efforts are made
by the French officials to avoid nil cause of
offense. The gendarmerie and the soldiers
are literally hidden away in dark nooks and
caves, lest their presence should wound the
susceptibilities of the native race, and on
the few occasions when they must necessa
rilv be brought to the fore, apparently
they receive private Instructions that
the Arabs are not to be sub
jected to any of those petty
tyrannies which it so delights the soul of a
French official to practice i his own coun
trymen. An amusing instance of this
occurred at the Algiers races a few days
after the ball. A part of the ground near
the grand stand was surrounded by a red
cord, as a sign that the public was ex
cluded. Through some misunderstanding a
motley crowd of Europeans broke down
the red cord and crowded into the reserve
space. The gendarmes, bristling with fury,
rode into their midst, and, striking right
and left with perfectly unnecessary vio
lence drove the people away. Some half
hour later the same thing occurred; again
the red rord fell and a crowd took possess
ion of the reserved ground, but this time the
crowd was Arab, evidently of the poorest
class, but still Arab. I expected a repetition
of the former scene, but to my astonishment
one gendarme looked at another, he made a
sign to a third, who looked for directions to
a fourth, but no one ventured to address the
intruders.
At length some official of importance was
sent for, and after considerable delay, hesi
tation and consullation. this person did
summon sufficient courage to ride up to the
inclosure, but far from there being any
signs of the violence and abuse to which the
Europeans had liean subjected ho bowed to
the Arabs as if they were sovereign princes
and lie the most lowly of their subjects. In
the blandest of tones he neologized for dis
turbing them aud en! rel into the “most
elaborate explanation o the why and
wherefore of the case, but all his prayers
and entreaties were in vain. Tho Arabs
listened to what he said with a courtesy
equal to his own; the staid gravity of their
faces never relaxed, but move they would
not, and did not, and at length the office;-
rodo away with a gesture of despair and
gave orders that they were to be left in
possession of the ground.
BOYCOTTED BY THE GIRLS.
The Fate of Younar Tipplers In Parts
of the Pennsylvania Coal Region.
From the Philadelphia Time *.
The progress of temperance principles
among the young Irish-Americans of the
coal region within the last ten years is sim
ply without a parallel in the history of tem
perance reform. In fact, the temperance
feeling is now so strong that no young man
can enter the charming circle of female so
ciety unless he is an avowed temperance
man and wears tho Father Mathew badge.
It has now come to such a pass that the
young Irish-American ladies will have noth
ing to do with the man who drink . By
placing this boycott against the boys, the
girls have played the part of true temper
ance missionaries, in that they succeeded
in driving the young men into the socie
ties.
An illustration of this was seen in the
town of Beaver Meadow last spring, when
all the girls in the place combined and re
solved that they would not accept the at
tention of any young man until ho had first
signed the pledge and joined the St. Aloy
sius Society. For awhile it was thought the
youug ladies were not in earnest, and that
the boycott would soon be lifted. But the
young ladies were determined, and when
the young fellows found this out they sur
rendered, and forthwith there was a rush for
admission into the local temperance socle’y.
The latter is now in a flourishing condition.
Of those who join these temperance socie
ties about ten out of forty "fall from grace”
—in other words, go back to drink. But
tho deserter’s downfall does not las. long.
After his debauch he sees the folly of his
ways and thinks how happy he was when he
was sober.
But this is not the worst. All his friends
are traveling in an opposite direction and
shun the outcast altogether. The result is
that a man who breaks his pledge becomes
disgusted with himself and returns to the
society. After taking the pledge for a sec
ond time he hardly ever goes back to dnnk
again. The number who break the pledge
a second time is only one in seventy. A
member who forfeits his membership in a
society forfeits all his dues paid into the
treasury by him. All the societies are bene
ficial, and take good care of the sick, wid
ows and orphans. The Bt. Aloysius Society
of Wilkesbarre has 4#o names on its rolls
and over §7,000 in its treasury. Tiie Father
Mathew Society 1 and the Father Mathew
Cadets have 200 more members. Every so
ciety has a handsome uniform.

PARIS AND LONDON.
A Bundle of Contrasts—Points of Diffor
e ce in their Social Customs.
In a book with the title Angleterre et
France, M. Felix Pyat—who knows England
well, having lived there as a political ref
ugee for thirty years—has indicated, in an
original and picturesque fashion,man}’ points
of dissidence between the social customs of
the two nations. The following is quoted
from tue preface of M. Pyat’s work:
Paris is right-handed, London left
handed. The Parisian coachman keeps to
his right, the London one to his left. The
former is seated in front of his carriage, the
latter behind, Paris is compact, Ixmdon
scattered. The heart of Paris is the Hotel da
Ville, that of Ixmdon is the bank. Paris has a
firdle of fortifications and an octroi,
xradon has neither wall nor town duties.
Paris increases by absorption, London by
expansion. Paris is built with stones,
London with bricks. Paris has high houses
and narrow streets, London wide streets and
low houses. Fouses in Paris have wide
doors for carriages, in London the doors are
small. In fact, Paris has its doors larger
than its windows, whilst London has its
windows larger than Its doors. Paris has
espagnolette windows opening like doors.
Ixmdon guillotine windows. Paris has its
shutters outside, London inside. Paris is
collectivist, London individualist. Paris
dwells in masses, inside barracks and con
vents; London lives in private, a home for
each family. Paris has its portier (door
keeper), London its key. Paris has its
public cafes, London its exclusive clubs.
Paris sleeps in a bed placed alongside the
wall, London in the middle of the room.
Paris rises early, London late Paris pro
nounces cacao, London cocoa. * * *
Paris is large, London enormous. Paris
dines, London eats. Paris takes two meals
a day, London four. London, says Voltaire,
has a hundred religions and one sauce; Par s
has a hundred sauces and no religion.
London has a three-pronged fork. Paris a
four-pronged one. Paris uses a napkin,
London the table cloth. * * * Paris
eats corn, London drinks it. Paris eats
boiled meats, London roasted. Paris eats
fried potatoes, London boiled. Paris loaves
are long, London loaves are square. Paris
likes the white of turnips, London the green.
Paris serves oysters on the concave shell,
London on the convex. Paris puts butter
in its brioches, London on its bread. Paris
drinks wine, London beer. Paris takes
coffee. London tea. Paris at table is socia
be, London isolated. Paris has the table
d’hote, London the diningroom box. Paris
is gay, London dull. Paris whips the horses,
London flogs its criminals. Paris lounges,
London goes. Paris makes laws during the
day, London during the night. Paris has
spring showers in March, London in April.
London has but few soldiers, Paris too
many. In Paris the soldier is a power, in
London a nonentity. Tho Paris soldier
wears red trousers and a blue coat, the
London soldier a red coat and blue
trousers. The former is alwavs armed, the
latter carries only a short stick. The Paris
soldier is a conscript, the London soldier a
volunteer. In Paris priests celebrate mar
riages, in London they themseves get
m irried. In Paris girls are rigidly kept, in
London they are free. In Paris married
women are free, in London they are not.
Paris opens its museums on Sundays, Lon
don on week days. In Paris churches are
always open, in London they are nearly
always closed Paris has sedentary judges,
London ambulatory. Pal is lias her milk
maids seated, London her milk
men with “rounds.” Paris warms herself
with wood, Loudon with coal. Paris buries
her dead too soon, London too late. Paris
throws her refuse into the streets, London
keeps it inside. Paris retains her sewage
in the house, London throws it at once in
the river. Paris has more mad people,
London more idiots. Paris has more sui
cides, London more homicides. Paris is more
of an artist. London more of a merchant.
In Paris men are more lively than horses,
in London horses are more friskv than men.
Paris works, London traffics. Lon
don is religious, Paris humane.
Paris is democratic, London ar
istocratic. Paris workmen call each other
citizens, London workmen mechanics. The
former work in their blouses, the latter in
coats. Working Paris wears a easquette
(a cap), working London a hat. Canaille
Paris fights with the feet, a London mob
with its fists. Working Paris calls the
pawnbroker “my aunt,” working London
“ray uncle.” Working London says, like
its queen, “Dieu et mon Droit,” Rule Brit
anuia,” working Paris says, like the repub
lic, “Rights of Man, Liberty, Equality, Fra
ternity. "
LITT E DELAWARE.
A Diminutive Pocket Borough Exem
plifying State Sovereignty.
From, the Ch icago Herald.
Delaware has 150,000 inhabitants. By
virtue of being a charter member of the
Union the State enjoys many advantages
that are denied to equal bodies of people in
other parts of the United States. The Fed
eral Secretary of State and Presidential
heir-presumptive resides in Delaware, and
two Senators and a Congressman represent
the State iu the National legislative body.
Tite State elects its own Governor and sup
ports all the rights of a sovereign common
wealth, though its territorial extent is not
over 3,000 miles.
It mav be imagined with what dissatis
faction the people of any thriving territory
mav look upon the privileges which Dela
ware gained in the war of American inde
pendence. There may be a community of
thrice Delaware’s population and ten times
its wealth. For extent tl is territory may
be seventy-five times as large as Delaware,
yet it cannot elect its own Governor nor
choose its own Supreme Judge;. It has no
Senators to bring official patronage to its
people, and its member of Congress cannot
vote. It is not surprising that the glaring
difference between the conditions o,
Delaware and the Territories should be
a matter of constant comment in the
Territorial press. Delaware, is a State so
unobtrusive in itself that but for this
advertisement given to it by the Western
editoi-s the people of the nation generally
might forget all about it and its affairs.
Just now there is an attempt to alter the
State’s constitution. Many of the practices
in that com monwealth are out of harmony
with modern ideas of Democratic govern
ment. There are but three counties in all,
and each of these has equal representation
in the State Senate and House. Kent and
Sussex counties may, therefore, elect the
Legislature and fix the taxes, while New
Castle, with a majority of all the people and
tho property, must pay the assessments.
The Governor app ints the judges, who hold
till they misbehave themselves or die, and
there is no appeal, in fact, for litigants
or persons accused, as the same
judges, under different names of court, sit
in the lower and upper tribunals. The Del
aware system has worked no great wrong,
as there is uo State tax at all on property
In order to vote the citizen must own prop
erty. Offenders against law may be
scourged and put in the pillory. Many
other persistencies of the customs of Eliza
beth’s time are to be noted, but no constitu
tional power rides in the nation ait her to al
ter the Statos’s internal methods or restrict
its valuable rights in the nation. The stat
us of Delaware, a region not so important in
"many ways as are the suburbs of Chicago,
will convince almost any- student of human
affairs that State sovereignty iR still a prac
tical element of the American system of
government.
