Joun Jounson Blackberry. Whence the Name “Tiger.” It is reported that when the prince of Wales shot a tiger in India awhile ago, the beast charged him at full speed. In so doing ‘the tiger was dc ing its best to live up to the name or its kind. Tigers are so called because of the swiftness of theim movement, especially in springis, «pon pref. “tighri” being the oid Persian word for am arrow. Hence it comes about that the beast and the River Tigr'3 have the same nama There is ne direct connection between them, but in both cases their swiftness was the characteristic that impressed the early me givers, The tiger’s name is perhaps, nearly as superior in to the hyena’: 8, as the one is merely Gre for sow.

Aimerigos Tetenoire, an old French thief, had a band of 500 men under him and owned two castles in Limou- sin and Auvergne and bequeathed a fortune in the following terms: “I give and bequeath 1,500 francs ($300) to St. George’s chapel for such repairs as it may need; to my sweet girl, who has so loyally loved me, 2,500 francs ($500), and the surplus I give to my companions. Let them scramble for it and may the devil seize the hind- most!” Too Late With His Offer. Mrs. White, a widow who lives in Natick, Mass., tells of an old deacon | who had recently lost his wife. Com- ing to her one day, he said: “Han- nah, something told me to come here and ask you to be my wife. I think it must have been the Lord.” “Oh, no,” the widow replied quickly, “it couldn’t have been the Lord, deacon, for he got here before you, and told me not to have you.” Royal Ornithologist. Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria is a distinguished ornithologist and his knowledge of the science of birds is equaled by very few in Europe. He devotes a good deal of time to the subject and is a member of the Ornt thological Society of Vienna. | ~ Deposits in Italian banks show that } “Italians in the United States. In. the year ended April 30, 1906, the Italian government issued 148,008 passports for emigrants to ‘the Uni- ted States, buy we received 221, 749 in the fiscal year 1905 and more in 1906. All of these did not come from Italy. $8,000,000 a year is sent to Italy by emigrants, many of whom intend to return to their native country. Con- sul Paul Nash of Venive says that when it seemed probable that illiter- | ates would be denied entrance to the United States night schools were opened in Italy for the benefit of emi- grants, but when the prospect of such legislation vanished the schools were closed. . Valuable Eggs. The enormous value attaching to | the eggs of birds which have become extinct has been recalled by the acci- | | dent that has befallen the specimen of the great auk, which constitutes one of the treasures of the Scarbor- | ough museum. Kept securely Suarded | in the safe, it was recently placed on | | public exhibition. By some means or | other it has become cracked and its value has been steep by more | than $300. ~ German Author Fond of America. It was a peculiarity of the late Balduin Mollhausen that in nearly al: his novels the scene is placed partly in Germany, partly in America. He was extremely prolific, his stories and | travel sketches making up nearly two huudred volumes. He spent man} years in the western prairies and th« Rocky mountains before he became librarian at Potsdam. To the last he kept his enthusiasm for the west. He left to a Berlin museum four albums containing pictures of America, “as one who will ever again see it.” Poor Pay for ‘Educators. It is flattering to our self-esteem to find that we are paying for tuition an ezggregate sum nearly equal to half the ecst of the national gcvernment, but | when this is reducei to an average it will be found that our generosity gives less than labore.s’ wages to the instructors of our children. If the service we obtain for that outlay is | ; better than we could expect it must be laid to the conscientious administra- tion of the schools rather than to a businesslike policy of paying a fair day’s wages for ‘a fair day’s work. | Atter all, as @ nation we have not ad- vanced much beyond the time when the teachers “hoarded around.” And the money spent for elucation always comes back . thousandfol< King Edward’s Fads, King Edward .careful': preserves ; programs of the proceedings in which } he takes part. These souvenirs, sev- | eral thousand in number, are pre- served in the library at Buckingham" palace. In the same way the king has kept all his theater programs since his earliest. playgoing days.
