one corner, SO that it was possible to
see from one room into the other.
Hearing rattling among his bottles
the physician stepped to the glass door
and looked through to see what was GO

other and smelling the contents thereof.
At length she got hold of something
which evidently pleased her. She snelt
again and again, and each time it was
apparent that she was more pleased
than before. She then poured some of
the liquid into her hand and smelled it
again.
This time her entire satisfaction with
the result of her Investigations was evi-

upon her nose and portions of her face
contiguous thereto, replaced the bottle,
and took her seat as she heard rust

Her highness Shah Jenan Begun, the
daughter of the late Sikander Begun,
the last ruler of Bhopal, was a remark

She reigned during the mutiny and gave
valuable help to the British govern
ment, especially in assisting Sir Henry
Durand and his party of fugitives in
escaping from the Indore residency.
She was also fierce, strong and re-
lentless woman and kept her daughter,
the present Begun, in state of abjcct
submission. Once, when her daughter
met at the house of relative a young
man of the royal house of Delhi, who
was suitor for her hand, she impris-

the unfortunate lover was confined in

ORIGIN OF THE WORD "cANARo."

First Used in Connection with q Nowspe-
per Hoax = Century Ago.
You often declare that some floating
piece of intelligence is ''canard" with.
out hardly knowing why such 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
eeRth century, having its origin in a
gigantic hoax. About that time French,
German and English papers were strain
ing every nerve to see which could pub
lish the most sensational items. Their
writers ransacked the earth, "the sky
above the earth and the caverns beneath
the surface" for material on which to
found extraordinary stories. At last
Cornelison, one of the Paris competitors,
stated that an interesting experiment
had just been carried out in that city
which proved the extraordinary voraci-
ty of ducks (canards). Twenty of these
fowls had been placed together one
morning, and at an appointed hour one
of the number was killed, cut into small
bits, feathers and all, and fed to the
other nineteen. Fifteen minutes later
No. 10 was hashed and served to the re-
naming eighteen in the same manner
The experiment was commenced at sew
en- o'clock in the morning, the expert
menters regularly flashing" a duck
every fifteen minutes, and at quarter
to twelve (noon) there was but one
duck remaining in the pen, and he Of
course was placed in the position of hav-
ing eaten his nineteen companions.
This story, pleasantly narrated, OBJ
tanned a success which the writer had
never even anticipated. Before the end
of the year it had run the rounds of all
the prominent journals of Europe, and
according to the st. Louis Republic had
even been translated into Indian, Chi
nese, japanese and other oriental Ian
guages. When it had been all but for
gotten the American papers took it up
and gave it many Implications, includ-
ing certificate of the autopsy of the
last surviving duck, which was declared
to have swollen out of all proportions
and to have had his @sophagus badly
injured. For many years afterward the
story of the twenty canards" was a
common laughing stock, and the word
itself has ever since retained its novel
significance.
