Origin of "Canard."- The French name for a (luck is canard and a French journal recalls the etymology of "canard" In the pejorative Journalistic sense. A Paris repprter once upon a time in the tot weather could find no news and he fell back upon his Imagination. Fie published an account of u remarkable experiment conducted in a farmyard. A farmer took twelve ducklings, chopped one up tine and gave it to the eleven others to eat. A second was chopped and the remaining ten gobbled him up. For eight more days one duckling was served up to the others. At last, when only two were left, one of the two was given to the other to eat. This remarkable experi ment resulted, therefore, in the one remaining duckling havng eaten up his eleven brothers. The story of the "Twelve Little Ducks" sprang at once Into fame. A "canard" In a newspaper has ever since meant a statement nearer fic tion than fact. Persia's Pipe Guardian. The queen of pipes belongs to the shah of Tersla. Why is the great chief tain of pipes a queen? Probably be cause pipe is a feminine noun In French. The little shah's pipe was smoked by his father before him, and by his uncle, and by bis grandfather, and how many more of the rulers of Darius' kingdom we know not. The pipe is adorned with all kinds of pre cious stones and is said to be worth 10,000. It is constantly guarded by a high couit functionary, whose duties allow him as much leisure as the super intendent of the Persian arsenal, but as there is no arsenal In Persia so the extent of the sinecure may be judged. Still, this functionary Is responsible. This Is bow his office was created: Once a grand vizier was found trying to pry out a stone from the pipe with his poniard. Then the office of guard ian of the imperial pipe was created. What became of the grand vizier is Dot recorded. London Globe. A Comtdy of Economy. A comedy of economy is reported from St. Moritz. A stout couple, ac companied by a son and daughter who were also "thick." as the Germans translate stout, entered a crowded hotel at the busy time of lunch and ordered one lunch at table d'hote. Tbe father sat down and finished two help ings of soup and all the bread neat him and left the table, bis place being taken for the entrees by Uls wife, who had been waiting with her children in the hotel corridor until her husband appeared. The youug cian then took his moth er's place to attack the joint, nnd be was followed by his sister for tuc sweets, all doing Justice to the menu.
