Origin of Humbug.
A plausible clue to the orlg.*n of
"humbug" Is that which credits the
rubbishy coin made for Ireland by
James II. as the origin. The people
talked of this base stuff as "ulm
bog" (soft copper), so that one fre-
quently heard the phrase: "Don't
think of passing your ulm bog ofT upon
me." As backing up this Irish an-
cestry one need only think of "ster-
ling" coin and "sterling" worth. But
the most popular claimant Is Prof.
Humbug, who ran a dancing academy
In Dublin in 1777. His advertisements
In the Freeman's Journal of that year
were masterpieces of appeal to the
young ladies of the city, and their
blarney would easily account for the
popularity of the word.

Method of Sowing Grass Seed.
When the seeds of mixed grass are
small they may be mixed and then
sown by running a distributer over
the land mounted on a wheelbarrow.
This, however, will not sow very large
seeds at the same time as the small
ones are sown. It Is better to go over
the ground twice, sowing the larger
ones at one time and also the smaller
ones. They should then be covered
by running over them a light harrow.
Bunch Grass.
Bunch grass grows more or less In
the natural home of buffalo grass, but
is to be found at Its best on the plains
to the northward, ti Is better known
under cultivation as western rye grass,
number of the young folks I Like orchard grass it grows In
and bunches rather than in a matted sod.
Its nutrition and palatablllty Is not
I equal to that of buffalo grass, but its
I sustaining power is better, owing to
the more abundant production.
Authority on Hanging of Quakers.
Bearing on the controversy as to
whether Quakers were hanged from
the limbs of the old Boston elm,
Florence E. Daggett of 559 Medford
street, Charlestown, has a piece cut
from the old elm 50 years ago.
On one side of the wood, which
was carved at the Charlestown state
prison by Captain Parker, who for 24
years was an officer on the wall, was:
"Cut from the Old Boston Kim,
I860."
On the reverse side was Inscribed:
"Mary Dyer, a Quakeress, was
hanged from this tree, June, 1660."—
