Ths Word “8lizzara,” “Blizzard” is an American word, says the Chicago News. The date and eir- cumstances of its origin are obscure. Though it was first commonly used by the Americnn uewspapers as a good word for n snow squall in the winter |§ of 1830-81, it is s known to the wes! that sense nearly twenty years earlier. From sn Eng- lish writer of 1834 this sentence is quoted: “A gentleman at dinner asked me for a toast, and, supposing he meant to have some fun at my ex- pense, I concluded to go ahead and glve him and his likes a blizzard.” Here blizzard might well mean a metaphor- ical volley, which would square with the evidence of a correspondent of an American paper who recalled that in the forties a blizzard was a particular kind of volley—a rattling one, fired in quick succession, as opposed to a si- multaneous “broadside”—affected by sportsmen on the Atlantic coast who shot at flights of migratory birds from behind screens. id to have been A Savage's Sense of Duty. Although the Australian aborigine has his vendetta, it is not always re- venge that he seeks. Darwin tells of a native servant of 2 west Australian magistrate vho went one day to his master, saying that one of his wives had died. He must go away therefore to a distant tribe and spear a woman to satisfy his sense of duty to the dead woman. “If you do, I'll send you to prison for life,” said his master. For a year the man hung about, look- ing wretched and ill and complaining that he could neither eat nor sleep, as the spirit of his wife haunted him because he had not taken another life for hers. At last he disappeared. A year later he returned in high condi- tion. There was no legal evidence against him, but it was known that he had gone to a distant tribe, had speared a woman to death and so, as he thought, appeased the spirit of his departed wife. Leigh Hunt. This famous Englishman has two dis- tinct claims to fame. Not only was he a brilliant poet, essayist and critic, but much that we know of Keats, Shelley, Lamb, Byron, Moore, Coleridge, Dick- ens and Carlyle has been derived from the knowledge of these celebrities which Hunt ‘gave to the world. Pos- sessing a happy spirit and genuine scholarship, Leigh Hunt's writings sparkle with wit and cleveruess, while his translations are among the choicest of their kind. His pecuniary difficulties A Crimean Incident. Many are the deeds of heroism re- corded In Sir Evelyn Wood’s story of. his rise “From Midshipman to Field’ Marshal,” but none more thrilling than an incident of the fighting in the Crl- mea. “Liook out! ‘Whistling Dick!” was the warning that was shouted one day, and at the call, which referred to a certain huge mortar which bad been shelllng them, every one In hearing rushed for shelter. All succeeded in galning the trenches except young Blewitt of IT. M. 8. Queen. spent shell caught under the knees and pinved to the ground. “Stephen, Stephen,” he called to Ste- phen Welch, “do not leave me to die!” The fuse of the thirteen inch shell was hissing, but Welch did not hesi- tate a second. ‘““Come on, lads! Let's try!” he shout- ed and, leaping from the trench, began tugging with all his strength at the big mass of iron. At that instant it burst, and of neither man was a fragment seen again. A Fatal Advertisement. Vestris, the great dancing master, died at eighty-three, and it was said he would have lived till a hundred but for a sudden and mortal blow in the shape of an advertisement. One day he asked for a newspaper, probably for the first time in his life. Scarcely had he opeued the sheet when his eyes lighted upon.the following: “Wanted, a professor of dancing at Calcutta. Must be a skiliful chiropodist at the same time.” He took to his bed and never left it again alive. Long Legged Birds. Long legged birds have tails so short that they seem to be out of proportion to their bodies. But there is a reason for the short tails. Birds, while fiying, and often while walking, use their tails for steerage purposes. When birds with long legs take to flight; they throw their legs behind In a manner that causes them to serve the same purpose as a tail. Spoke For Himself. It is told of Charles Lamb that one afternoon, returning from a dinner party, having taken a seat in a crowd- ed omnibus, a stout gentleman subse- quently looked In and politely asked:! “All full inside?” *“I don't know how it may be with the other passengers,” answered Lamb, “but that last piece of oyster pie did the business for me.” Every Day the Best. Write it in your hearts that every day is the best day in the year. No man has learned anything rightly un- til he knows that every day is dooms- day.—Emerson, Most Irritating. “I am so annoyed!

The cowbird is the only bird that we have in this country which is unnatu- ral in its parentai duties. It never builds a nest for itself, but lays its eggs In other birds' nests, thus forcing the rightful owners to assume parental duties. It it sagacious enough to choose the nests of birds smaller than ftaelf, so that its young, when it is hatched, being inevitably the largest of the brood, must neceasarily receive the lion’s share of the attention of its foster parents. The birds thus afflict- ed resort to various means to rid themselves of this unwelcome addition to their litter.
