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. Sachet Powders For Xmas. Colgate’s Cashmere Bouquet, Heliotrope and Vlolet are very useful for making up holiday gifts. ....o . THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1887. 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.
