THE NAME “GERMAN.”
(Contributed). Ii is id that the mune “German” was probably given to the Teutons, on account of their warlike shouts, by some Keltic tribes of the Continent, and that the word means howlers, or shriekers. Ever true to type, (lie German, as modern events prove, is still a howler. While a man, lie is still a child —the pampered child of Mother Europe who still dotes over him as an over indulgent parent, enduring all the insults uttered thanklessly by her whining offspring. The howling propensities of the Teuton arc not only confined to his pre-war demonstrations, but. are evinced in his a pres la guerre shrieks. Soaked bread coaled with sugar is a good remedy but when the pain is deep seated, the universal remedy, castor oil, has to be given in large doses.
