tillamooki HEADLIGHT, MAY 18, 1Ô11 Tsar and Czar. Frequently tbe Inquiry is made aa to jvby tbe spelling tsar, to designate the emperor of all tbe Rumtlaa. should be preferred to cur. Tbe most uat- ural and obvious auswer la that the spelling Indicates tbe Russian pronun ciation of the word, wblcb csar does not. Tbs title comes from an old Slavonic word, wblcb some authorities are agreed Is not derived from tbe Latin caeear. but there are authori ties who bold tbat its ultimate deriva tion is from tbs Roman. Tbe origin of tbe common spelling is supposed to be tbe writings of Herbersteln. about 1550. Tbe letter "c” tn Roman- Slavonic has tbe sound of “tx.” Tbe letter was copied, but tbe sound wsa not. The letter “x” never belonged tn tbe word. Tbe spelling czar Is now regarded by many as old fashioned. With some Germans tbe spelling is zar, which Is pronounced tsar. Many of the French bare adopted tsar as tbe spelling, and tbat form is increas ing in English. The London Times, a most careful authority, employs it, and so does tbe Encyclopedia Britannica in its supplementary volumes.—Chica go Reccrd-Herald. Ths Green Constable. A new constable on duty in a pro vincial town banded to a sergeant a shilling which be said he bad found. Tbe man with tbe three stripes told bim he was quite right tn acting as be had done. Proceeding on bls round, tbe sergeant met a brother sergeant and. with a grin, told him tbe tale of tbe shilling. They both agreed tbe new recruit was very green, and at tbe conclusion of their duties they went to tbe nearest inn. and the pos sessor of tbe coin called for fwo drinks. On receiving them he threw down the ■hilling to pay for them, but tbe land lord refused it. saying it was a bad one. Tbe sergeant, notoriously mean, bad to supply the requisite amount out ot bls uwu pocket and also to put up with tbe laugb against himself. On bls telling tbe constable bis find was a bad one tbe man answered: “Yes. of course It was. Do you think I would have been silly enough to give it to you if it hadn’t been?”—Pearson's. An Honor to Allison. “Do you know,” Inquired Wilbur Reaser, the New York portrait painter, “that when my painting of Senator Al lison was bung in tbe lobby of tbe senate the precedent of forty years was broken Y' Surprise being expressed. Mr. Reaser explained: “It is a fact that since tbe beginning of constitutional government tbe sen ate had bought only nine portraits for the lobby. Tbe flrat was Washington’s and tbe eighth was Charles Sumner’s. For almost forty years nobody was considered worthy to follow in the dis tinguished line. It was generally thought tbat no other portrait would ever be added to the group, but when Senator Allison died, after serving longer in tbe senate than any other man in tbe history of the government, the rule was broken, and bls picture be came tbe ninth.**—Washington Times. Gorman Bursauoraoy. A good story la going the rounds of tbe French newspapers illustrating tbe beauties of bureaucratic go ivern- meat in Germany, We are told tbat in tbe postofflce department if * clerk wishes a new pencil be has to band in tbe stump of the odo tbst has be come too short to work with. In tbe particular instance cited a clerk re ceived his new pencil without return ing tbe end. Before tbe omission was discovered the clerk was transferred to another office. Just after be bad comuieuced his duties at bls new post be received an official intimation that be bad neglected to hand in bls pencil end. By this time It bad disappeared, but to prevent bother the clerk pur chased a new pencil, cut off a piece about the length of the missing bit and disfwtcbed It to tbe stationery de partment. Criticising Dad. “A d eld man In Missouri tried to commit suicide by banging bltnwlf wltb a blind bridle.” said Champ Clark. “His son cm him down Just in time. "When the son cut bim down and brought him to tbe old man complain ed feebly: “‘It ain’t right. Henry: you've kept yonr old father out of bearen.’ " ’You’d cut a One figure la heav en looking through a blind bridle, wouldn’t you? retorted tbe son " Docoitful Man. “Didn't you think that wsa a beaotl ful girt with me today.

Tbe Marquesana of a geueratiog ago were tbe moat completely and artisti cally tattooed people tn tbe Pacific. a^d tbe pnictlca of tattooing is carried on ltuoug them to a certain extern today. Tbe really fine pieces of work, how ever. such as tbe famous right leg of tbe late Queeu Vaekebu of Nukablrn. are confined entirely to tbe very old. and. what wltb wrinkles, deformities and tbe wear and tear of time, these have lost most of their original sharp ness ot color and outline. None of tbe new generation appears to have tbe fortitude to endure tbe ^qulsite pain incident to bavlng a whole limb picked out in a lacework of geometric design or tbe face barred and circled like a coarse spider's web. Women are rare ly tattooed at all now. and most of tbe young men are satisfied wltb a broad band of solid black, not unlike a highwaymans mask, which reaches across tbe face from ear to ear. giving I to tbelr never overmlld looking coun i tenanees an expression of amazing fe rocity.—Lewis R.

He wrote about photography, geography, stenog raphy; he'd finished a biography of some distinguished man. His views npon geometry and mystic trigonometry were everywhere declared to be on tbe progressive plan.

In order to give me a better chance, we ran downhill. In a 200 yard daab be usually paused three or four times and waited for me to catcb up, and I was not a slow biped either.

We are told by I’eter Farley, who wrote as an eyewitness, that In Au gust. 1835. the airship Eagle was of ficially advertised to sail from Ixindon with government dlapaictMa and pas sengers for Paris and to establish di rect communication between tbe capi tals of Europe. This early type of air ship was 100 feet loug. fifty feet high and forty feet wide, and she lay iu tbe dockyard of tbe Aeronautical so ciety In Victoria road, near Kensing ton gardens, then quite a rural spot. Built to bold an abundant supply ot gas. »be was covered with oiled lawn and carried a frame seventy-live feet long and seven feet high, with a cabin secured by ropes to tbe balloon. An immense rudder and wings or tins on each side for purposes of propulsion completed her fittings. Tbe deck was guarded by netting.

Carrying a Strotchor. Tbe bearers of a stretcher should be as near tbe same height as possible. If there Is any difference tbe 'alter and stronger man should be at tbe bead. A stretcher should be carried by the bands or suspended by straps from tbe shoulders. Never carry n stretcher when loaded upon tbe shoul ders. It frightens the patient, and he might fall off very easily, especially If one of tbe bearers should stumble. The bearers should not keep step, but break step, the one in front starting off with his right foot and tbe one behind with bis left. Tbe injured should be car ried feet first. In golug up u hill or up stairs tbe bend should be In front nnd tbe reverse In descending, except tn case of a broken thlgb or leg. when tbe feet should be first in going up «no Inst In coming down to keep the weight of tbe body off the Injured limb.—“First Aid to the Injured." 1 >r. EL H. Hnrtung. in National Magazine Coming In Out of the Wot. There Is an amusing story by Atbe- naeus which suggests tbe possible ori gin of tbe phrase “He does not know enough to come In out of the wet.” Ac cording to tbe entertaining grammarian referred to, a town In Greece under stress of evil circumstances borrowed money from a rich man. who took ns security for tbe loan a mortgage on the handsome portico which surrounded tbe market place. He was not an un generous creditor, for when It rained be caused tbe town criers to announce that the citizens bad permission to take refuge under tbe colonnade. Strangers visiting tbe town who fail ed to have the mater properly explain ed to them were so impressed by tbe extraordinary circumstances that they spread abroad the report tbat tbe peo ple were so stupid tbat they bad to be told when to come tn out of tbe wet.
