A Comparison.

During one of the Mardt Gras festiv¬
ities at New Orleans a couple evidently
from the provinces waudered into one
of the numerous little French restau
rants. The lady scanned the menu.
“Here's entree,” she said. “What is
it? Shall I order it?”
“Good heavens, no!" replied her com¬
panion. “I’ve always heard that the
French eat it. but uot for us. You’d
better order ham and eggs. An entry’s
a race horse.”—Harper’s.

Origin of Blackmail.
The etymology of the expression
“blackmail” Is historically interesting.
It appears to have its origin on the
Scottish border and dating from times I
when frequent political feuds between
the then two kingdoms of our islands I
tacitly justitied a sort of perennial ter¬
restrial buccaneering as between bor¬
derers of each realm. Many of these
depredators were outlaws on both sides
of the border. Their neighboring vie-'
thus to save their cattle from being
lifted sometimes compounded for safe¬
ty by an annual payment as Insurance
to the bandits. This fee not only gave
them immunity, but entailed them
to protect them from rival freeboot¬
ers. It was their “mail,” or “pro¬
tection.” The “mall” coach was so
named because it had its armed guard
with loaded blunderbuss on tbe dickey.
But the mail paid by border farmers
was uot for honest royal protection,
but for guardianship by thieves and
hence was “black” mail, the color of
black being typical of what was nefa¬
rious, whether In art or in giumlian
ship, while the guardian of thiSstamp
was known as the “blackguard” of the
district. The last named latter day
term of reproach seems to have ot>
talned Its expression originally as here
described.—London Field.
Perjury Penalties.
Perjury. besides being one of tbe
oldest of offenses in the catalogue of
crime, has always been very severely
punished. With the advance of civili¬
zation, however, fiendish punishments
have been replaced by more humane If
still severe penalties. In the days of
the Roman empire any one who com¬
mitted perjury was thrown from a
precipice, while the Greeks branded
their false swearers. It is interesting
to note that when the latter embraced
the Christian religion the punishment
was altered to that of having the
tongue cut out, a sort of punishment
which was considered to fit the crime
in the early centuries. In the middle
ages some countries adopted the sys¬
tem of giving the perjurer the punish¬
ment for the crime he faisely accused
another of. Thus if he swsare a neigh¬
bor had committed murder and the
charge was disproved the perjurer
would be sentenced to death, and the
other penalties of the penal code were
exacted for the particular crime al¬
leged.
