ORIGIN Or THE WORD "CANARD.'
First Used In Connection with a Newspa
per lloux u Century Ago.
You often declare that some floating
piece 01 intelligence is a "canard" with
out hardly knowing why such a word
should be applied to an unfounded story.
The word itself is the French for
"duck," and was first used in its pres
ent sense in the latter part of the eight
eenth century, having its origin in a
gigantic hoax. About that time French.
German and English papers were strain
ing every nerve to see whrjh could pub-
lish-tiie most sensational items. Their
writers ransacked the earth, "the sky
above the earth and the caverns beneath
the surface" for material on tvhiuh to
found extraordinary stories. At last
L-ornelison, one of the Paris competitors,
'stated flint, an int,.rr.itlr,,r vn,mi
had just been carried out in that city dc!r at the unaccustomed sight. Super
whbh proved the extraordinary voraci- stitln lt0Pt them at a distance for
ty of ducks (janards). Twenty of these awhile but curiosity conquered fear,
fowls had been nln.erl t. nrrpt lior rnfs
and one boy finally plucked ur courage
morning, and at an appointed hour one
of the number was killed, cut into small
bits, feathers aud all, and fed to the
other nineteen. Fifteen minutes later
No. 19 was hashed and served to the re-
maining eighteen in the same manner.
Thc experiment was commenced at sev
1 eu o ciocK in tne morning, tne expen
' menters regularly "hashing" a duck
every fifteen minutes, and at a quarter
j to twelve (noon) there was but one
duck remaining in the pen, and he of
course was placed in the position of hav-
incr eaten his nineteen inmnnninne
This story, pleasantly narrated, ob-
taineu a success which the writer had
. . .
never even anticipated. lief ore the end
of the year it had run the rounds of all
the prominent iournals of Enron,. n,wl
I according to the St. Louis Republic had
even been translated into Indian, Chi- 'waru me saloon. Soon the wife's pa
nese, Japanese and other oriental lan- tienoe became exhausted and she de
guages. When it had been all but for- tended from the wagon and entered
gotten the American papers took it up
and gave it many amplifications, includ-
ing a certificate of ho autopsy of the
last surviving duck, which was declared
10 nave swollen out 01 v)l proportions
and to have had his oesophagus badly
injured. For many years afterward the
story of the "twenty canards" was a
common laughing stock, and the word
ltsclf has ever since retained its novel
significance.
WOMAN'S FATAL CURIOSITY.
It Led Her to irse Ilulr Dye for Perfum
ery, with Sad Results.
Two ladies called at the house of a
well-known New York physician one
day recently. While one of them was
consulting the physician in his private
room, the other, prompted by curiosity
or some kindred Impulse, proceeded to
investigate the contents of a large case
of bottles, jars, etc., in the outer apart
ment. Between the two apartments was a
glass door, over which was a paper
shade, which, however, was torn across
one corner, so that it was possible to
see from one room into the other.
Hearing a rattling among his bottles
the physician stepped to the class door
and looked through to see what was go
ing on. He discovered the lady in the
act of taking down one bottle after an
other and smelling the contents thereof.
At length she got hold of somethimr

CANNIBALISM IN INDIA
Some of tho Jungle Trlboa Still Addicted
to Eating Each Other.
' Among the practices which the Brit-'
ish have tried hard to do away with is
that of cannibalism, which is indulged
in to this day by some jungle tribes.
One of them, tho Kookes, living like
monkeys in huts built in the tops of
trees in lorcsts on
, , , , ,.
hundred and fifty
miles from Calcutta, was until recently
notorious for anthropophagy. But the
most horrible human sacrifices were of
fered by the Khonds of Orissa to their
earth goddess for the purpose of secur
ing pood harvests. They bought their
victims from professional kidnupers,
who captured them whenever they
could. Each village kept its stock of
victims always on hand, the latter being
well fed and reverenced as sacred until
the time for sacrifice arrived, when they
were cut into small pieces with knives,
great care being taken to avoid killing
each unfortunate for as long as possible.
The pieces of (lesh were buried in the
soil, and this until recently was the
only fertilizing method known to tho
Khonds. The number of persons thus
sacrificed may be imagined from the

Hundred Fort High
for the Leaves
The talipot, or great fan-palm, grows,
for about thirty years, and reaches
height of more than one hundred feet
Then, for the first and only time, It blos
soms. What looks lilte a single huge
bud four feet in height is developed,
and finally bursts into a pyramid of
snowy plumes composed of numberless
small cream-colored flowers. The clus
ter is sometimes twenty-five feet high,
and at its base has a diameter of forty
feet. As Miss Cumminirs savs In her
"lwo Happy ears in Ceylon:" "It is
a glorious object, and is visible from an
immense distance, as it often growi
among flat surroundings, such as rict
fields."
,
The natives turn the leaves to a thou-
auu un.-B, uuuiestic ana literary, wnen
on a journey, and especially if they are
on a pilgrimage to some sacred shrine,
eacn 01 tnera carries a portion of one ol
these great leaves tightly folded into a
long, narrow form, like a gigantic
closed fan. This serves as a sunshad
or rain cloak by day, and at night sev-
eral friends contribute every man his
palm leaf, three or four of them, with
the pointed end upward, forming a very
fair bell-shaped tent. And very pictur
esque a few groups of these tents lool
when pitched In some forest clad
around blazing camp fires.
Formerly the exact grade of even)
great noble was shown by the number
of such sunshades which he was enti
1" A to have carried before him, and on
s.j.te occasions a leaf, inlaid with pieces
of glittering talc and folded like a huge
fan, formed the ceremonial canopy
which was held above his head by one
or more attendants.
The leaves attain their largest size
when the tree is about t
tige, at which they sometimes measure
twenty-five feet from the base of th
leai stock to the outer edge of the fan.

PRIZES ON PATENTS.
How to Get Twenty-five Hundred
Dollars for Nothing.
The Winner has a clear Cift of a Small
Fortune, and the Losert Have Patents
that may Bring them in Still More.
Would you like to make twenty-five hundred
dollars? If you would, read carefully what
follows and you may see a wny to do It.
The Press Claims Company devotes much
attention to patents. It has handled thousands
of applications for inventions, but it would
like to handle thoands more. Tliere is plenty
ot inventive lallent at large in this country
neoniiiK Homing but encouragement to produce
practical results. That eucouragemeutthe Press
Claims Company propose to give.
NOT SO II AKI AN ITNKEMN.
A patent strikes most people as an appalling,
ly formidable thing. Thc Idea is that an in
ventor must bo a natural genius, like Edison or
Hell: that he must devote years to delving Iu
complicated mechanical problems and that he
must spend a fortune on delicate experiments
before he can get a new device to a patentable
degree of perfection. This delusion the com
pany desires to dispel. It desires to get Into
'he head of the public a clear comprehension
of the fact that It Is not the great, complex, and
ex pensive in ventions that bring thc best returns
to their authors, but tho little, simple, and
cheap ones the things that seem so absurdly
trivial that the average citizen would feel
somewhat ashamed of bringing them to the
attention of the Patent Office.
Kdison says that the protlta he has received
from the patents ou all his marvelous Inven
tions have not been sulliclent to pay the cost
of his experiments. But the man who con
ceived the Idea of fastening a bit of rubber
cord to a child's ball, so that it would come
back to the hand when thrown, made a fortune
out of his scheme. The modern sewing. ma
clifuolsa miracle of ingenuity the product
of tiie toil of hundreds of busy brains through
n hundred and fifty years, but thc whole lirll
llsnt remilt rests upon lhe simple device of
puitlna the eye of the needle at the point In
stead of at the oilier end.
The only Pure Cream of Tartar Powder. No Ammonia; No Alum.

THE LITTLE Till US THE KIONT
VALUABLE.
Comparatively lew people regard themselves
as Inventors, but almost every body has been
struck, al one time or another, with ideas that
seem calculated to reduce some of the little
frictions of life. Usually such ideas are dis
missed witboutfuither thought.
" hy don't the railroad company make its car
windows so that they can be slid up aud down
without breaking the passengers' backT" ex
claims the traveler. "If 1 were running the
road 1 would make thi m iu such a way."
liat was the man who made the saucepan

Hang such a collar button!" growls a man
who is late.for breakfast. "If 1 were in the
business I'd make buttons that wouldn't slip
out. or break off, orgouge out the back of my
ueck
And the various sufferers forgot about their
grievances aud btgau 10 ihiuk of something
else. If they would set down the next con
venient opportunity, put their Ideas about car
wiuduwa, saucepaus and collar bullous iuto
practical shape, and then apply lor taunts

"I submit the within described Invention iu
competition for the Twemy-tlve huudred Dollar
Prize ottered by the Press Claims Company."
OBtlSKS IN THIS COIIIPCTIOn.
This is a competition of rather an uuusal na
ture. It is common to offer prizes for the best
story, or picture, or architectural plan, all the
competitors risking the luss of their labor aud
the successful one merely selling his for the
amouu of the prize. But the Press Claims
Company's offer Is something entirely differ
ent. Each person is asked merely to help him
self, aud the oue who helps hiin self to the
best advantage is to be rewarded by doing it.
The prize Is ouly a stimulus to do something
that would be well worth doing without it.
The architect whose competitive plan for a
club house ou a certuiu comer is not occept
ed has spent his labor on something of very
ittle use to him. But the persou who patents a
simple aud useful device in the Press Claims
Company's competition, need nut worry if he
fall to secure a prize. lie has a substautlai
result to show for his work oue that wll
command Us value iu the market at any
time.
The man who uses any article iu his dally
work ought to know belter how to Imurove it
than the mechanical expert who studies it
only from the theoretical point of view. Get
rid of the idea that au impioveiiieiit can be too
simple to be worth pateuiing. The slmplerlhe
oeiter. lhe persuu who best succeeds ln
combining simplicity and popularity, will get
me i-ress Claims Compauy's twenty-five bun

The responsibility of this compauy may ba
Judged from the fact that its slock is held by
