why Irl.hmen 1--we the c,.en.

The early Celts worshipped the dawn
and the sunrise. It is more than probable,
therefore, that their liking for the color
green, which we see in their flags, sashes,
ETC., arose from a mistake among those
who had lost a thorough knowledge of the
Irish, language. The sun, in Celtic, is called
by a word pronounced exactly like our
word "green," and it is likely that the
Irish fondness for that color arose through
the striking similarity of the two words.
In the same way, when we talk about a
greenhouse we think they are SO called
because 8plants are kept green in the
winter; yet it is far more probable that
the word is derived from the old Celtic
word for sun, because greenhouses are SO
built as to catch the rays and heat of the
sun and store them for future use.-St.
Louis Republic.

The infant mind worked on the problem
for few moments in silence.
"Come dears," said the young teacher,
encouragingly, "some one tell me what
Moses did,
A very small boy on the hdgetty back
row seemed to be struggling with reply.
"What is It, Willief'' urged the teacher
encouragingly.

BUTTERFLIES tina. Love Ia.

Near the top OF Mt. Washington, in
New Hampshire, lives little colony OF
very cold loving and mountainous butter
flies which never descend below 1000 feet
from the wind-swept summit. Except
just there, there are no more Of their sort
anywhere about, and as far as the butter
flies themselves are aware, no Others OF
their species exist ON earth. They never
have seen single one Of their kind, save
OF their own colony. The scientific the
ory is that this little colony OF chilly in
sects was stranded on Mt. Washington at
the end of the glacial period, some odd
thousands Of years ago, and the butter
flies have dwelt there ever since, genera
tion after generation.

A FISH PRESERVE.
An Alaskan Island Reserved by Order Of
the President.

the President.
The President has issued a proclamation re-
serving for timber and fish culture purposes
the Island of Afognak. Alaska. and its adjacent
rocks and territorial waters. irciuding the Sea
Lion rocks and the Sea Otter Island.
The Secretary of the Interior and the COM
missioner of fish and fisheries. under the direc-
ton of the President have investigated this
subject, and finding that he had the authority
by law, strongly recommended that the action
should be taken. The commissioner of fish
and fisheries has selected Afognak bay and
Atognak river. lake and the tributaries thereof
with mile Of land from tine shores of.the river
ana lake. for the purpose of fish culture under
the statute authorizing him to do so.
ana THIS is included in the proclamation
or tue President. The whole comprises
a national reservation and all trespassers are
required toremove therefrom. There is a can
merry on the island that will have to be vacated
out those or the former subjects of Russia
there, few in number, will be protected in
whatever rights they might have under
the Russian treaty. This reservation is one
OF the most important yet made
The salmon and trout crowd the
Afognak river at the breeding season, so much
as TO actually press some out upon the shore,
and there is no doubt that by preserving it il
VIII become breeding place for all the other
Maters 0! Alaska and the different rivers of the
United States in all the future; whereas, If it
had been left TO the depredations already COM
menced upon it. the fish there, as they have
elsewhere in the United States, would become
utterly eXterminated.
There is prospect that the sea otter may
also be preserved there and it may be other sea
animals. This is beginning Of a series of res
ervations in this direction that will preserve
the fish and animals of the sea as have been
preserved the deer, elk. buffalo aud other ami
mails OF the United States and the national
parks.

personal property Mr.. Gould set aside 81, 900 900
to his son George as compensation for services
rendered to the testator in the last few years Of
his life. The possibility is foreseen that the re-
cipient of this large amount may claim that it
is non-taxable under the inheritance law. be-
cause it is not left to him legacy, but is paid
to him as accumulated salary.
The tax on the amount would be fully $50, OOO
sum which the controller is not likely to
forego without an effort to collect it, 1t is
clear that il Mr. Gould can establish the non
taxsbility of his alleged back salary at his faith
ers valuation of his services all he has to do to
dodge the inheritance tax is to cali his requests
salaries for services heretofore unrewarded and
fix the rate of compensation high enough to
absorb his entire estate.
