ORIGIN OF "FEATBER IN HIS CAR
Among the manuscripts Of the British
Museum, says an English writer, there
are two copies of a curious description of
Hungary, which appear to have heen
written by a military adventurcr of the
Dusald Dalgetty tribe of 1903. The
writer, speaking ofthe inhabitants, whom
he describes " of stature and complexion
not unlike the poor Irish" says: at
hath been an ancient custom among them,
that none should wear feather but he
who had killed Turk, to whom it was
lawful to show the number he had killed,
by the number of feathers in his can"
Does not this account for the expression,
THAT will be feather in his cap"

The Legislature, at its last session,
omitted to make the usual annual appro
priation to pay the interest on the princi.
pal of the School Fund, of which the State

When the Legislature now convenes this
neglect will Doubtless DC repaired, and
then another apportiOnment will be made
Of the amount,of interest.
1t is to be hoped that our legislators
will devise such measures as to materially
increase our State School Fund.

How bravelyN man can walk the earth;
bear the heaviest burdens, perform the
severest duties, look all men square in the
face, il he only bear in his breast clear
conscience, void of offence towards God
or man. There is no spring, no spur, no
inspiration like this. To feel that we
have omitted no task, and left no obliga-
ton unfulfilled, fills the heart with salts
faction and the soul with strength.
