THE PAPABoT.

The name of papabot, the vel.
Iow-legged plover, is hidden in
mystery. Mnch unsatisfactory spe-
cnlation has been iridulged IN as
to ifs origin. The prevalent inter.
pretation by learned scholars and
scientists, dissects the word into
two parts, to wit para, the French
for pa or father, and ottes(hOnts)
and applies it to the plover on ac.
count of his long and well-covered
legs. which give him the appear
rance in his ordinary condition., of
a personage standing in boots a
world ton wide for bis shrnnk
shanks, an Shakespeare describes
the venerable wearer Of the lean
and slippered pantaioqps-a slim
stripping trying to show of oin
papas boots. But this explanation
has no foundation in fact or plan
sibility in reason When this bird
lis called palmbot his legs are
the reverse of shrnnken and, bear
no resemblance to those Of an
ancient male parent. There are
other equally unsatisfactory at,
tempts TO exponnd the origin Of
the word. At last the ever ready,
fruitful and profound learning OF
that great philologer and scien.
tist, Professenr Dimitry, was

I tEroM the American Agrieaffurisf.I
Jfis announced that Gen. William
G, LcDuc, Of MINI. has been ap-
pointed TO succeed the venerable
Afstts as the head of the department
Of A. Scnl.ure. Some of the political
papers are already casting slnrs upon
this gentleman, whose chief fanlt
seems tn be, that he is unknown TO
then, and to the public generally.
We are not aware. that late .inenm-.
bent was known outside of his own
cnapty, until the former President
placed him in . promineat position.
Ons present satisfaction in the mat
ter, 70 10 the fact that neither df
several emineftly nnAt candidates,
who tried very hard toget the Office,
sueceedesl. Il is ceftainly unfair TO
Vre- Judge the new Commissioner; :, so
FIR rs the American Agricnlfurist is
cpAcerned, We welcome him to the
once with Onr best wishes for a snc-
ceesful career and he shall have our
lltsrty support until he proves him
srK unworthy Of il. One paper finds
faalt with the appointment because
the Commissioner has not heretofore|
lKcn prominently identified with
agriculture. Hc certainly cannot
kussw less about it than some who
we're put forward for the position.
Indeed ifa profound knOwledge Of
agriculture were a crime, aud either
a the fornert commissioners had
been pat ON trial for it, any intelli-l
mt jury would have rendered q
verdict Of mot guilty" What u
vAntsd fer the place i'm man Of geueral
intelligence, broad views, and mark

Secretary was not q soldier, and the

Daged by men who knew nothing
about the sen. n the present Com
missioner 10 not n political
agriceltnrist, and knowing Ihjs
own deficiencies, will surr(6hd
himself with proper advisers and SUI
b0rdinntes, he may better serve the
agriculture of the country than one
who having had experience on n
small farm, thinks he has nOtbiug to
learn. These small men measure
everything u their little pint pot Of
expelence, and all their idea Of
sciencs il q knowledge of the "signs
of the Anlinc." II we have now a
man whose visiea Il wide enough to
take in the. whole country, and the

CARLOTTA'S PARTIAL CURE,

Carlotta was transferred a long time
ago from the Royal Chateau at La Ell
ken, where she was a source Of consid-
cradle annoyance to the Royal family
to the Palace OF Tervueren, which was
specially htLeG up for her, and where
she was treated with the utmost tender
ness. But she soon perceived that she
was a prisoner, and in her Jolly she was
SO unusually sharp that she succeeded
in escaping one morning early at dawn,
aud, hying away, began TO plan for re-
commencing her correspondence with
the Pope, with numerous Emperors, and
even Win her husband, the announce
ment OF whose death she had never been
allowed to hear until recently.
When her escape was discovered the
Captain Of the guard at the palace went
nearly mad with despair. But in a
couple OF hours she was found again.
She had mounted horse IN the CHI ateau-
yard and wandered of into the woods.
This happened before Dr.. Bulkens, the
noted Director Oh the colony OF the in

WOMAN'S CURIOSITY.

avenue, when an old lady came along,
leaned up against the fence and watched
him for while, and then called out:
"Say, Mister, what are you pushing
that around forW
s'To roll the lawn" he answered.
"What do you want to roll the lawn
for?"
"Ho make it level"
"What do you want to make it leveI
forW she continued.
"Thaps what 1 was ordered to do" he
answered, as he wiped away the perspi
ration.
But what do they order you to do il
forp
"Why, they think smooth lawn 10 oks

"Why do they think a smooth lawn

started up again.
"Why haven't you time to talk?" she
shouted.
"Go'n ask the bossv' he yelled.
"Why shall gv'n ask the bossw she
screamed.
He disappeared behind the house tt

sauntered off, mutt ering:

THE 1sRAEL1TEs AIDING RUSSIA.


NEW YORK, May n.,-A Graphic cable
from London says it is again reported
that the Russian movement Is being
aided by Jewish bankers, and that some
agreement Is understood concerning the
future Of the Holy Land. Russia has an
abundance OF money, Notwithstanding
her lowered credit in the markets of the
world, and 1t is certain that the Dutch
bankers, who have been such large hold
ers of American securities, are parting
with the latter to Invest in deprecated
Russian bonds. II is said that consid-
cradle quantity OF 1our-and-a-half per
cent. coupon bonds have been shipped
back to America. This coupon issue
was TO be confined to Europe and not
put in the American market, but 1t is be-
lieved they will soon be plenty on the
New York Exchange. The bargain re-
gardins the Holy Land, it is said, re-
quires that the Jews shall not only con-
troll Palestine, if it is captured from the
Turks, but that all legal penalties
against the race shall be abolished
throughout the Russian Empire.
