Filibuster, freebooter and buccaneer
are words curiously interrelated. The
French and the English sea adventures
once made common cause against Span
ish settlements in the new world, and all
three of these words came in time to de-
scribe the rude sea soldiers who de-
spoiled the Spanish main and the towns
upon the coasts Of the Spanish posses
sions. Filibustar is said to be the result
Of an attempt to make a French word of
freebooter, and the English borrowed it
back from the French because it sounded
less frankly brutal than the English
word.
Buccaneer was originally French in
form, and it meant at first one who
hunted the boucan or wild cattle and
hogs Of the West Indies; then one who
made jerked meat of their flesh, and
finally, because this meat was used to
provision the ships Of the sea rovers, a
flibuster or freebooter.-New York Sun.

A Dog at Niagara Falls.

Not long since a very exciting adventure
took place at Niagara. AS several tourists
were walking along the shore of Luna is
land above the cataract, they saw large
Newfoundland dog leaning from rock and
engaged in tapping water from the rush
ing current. The rock was slippery and
the dog was not very nimble, and pres
emily his feet slipped, and he fell headlong
into the water
In a moment the dog was drawn out into
the current and well on his way toward
the cataract. Even so good a swimmer as
the average Newfoundland could make no
Roadway against such a stream.
The bystanders, Mortified, pressed toward
the falls to see what should become of the
unfortunate dog. To their great surprise
they saw him landed by the current, and
with great force, upon rock near the Cave
of the Winds.
From this position he was rescued with
much courage by four tourists He was
found TO he bleeding heavily, as the result
of his collisions with the rocks, and prob
ably be would have died soon if he had not
been carried to a veterinary surgeon, who
stopped the bleeding and bound up his
wounds.
Several hours later he returned to the
shore, limping, but wagging his tail very
cheerfully. His tail was about the only
part Of his body which had entirely escaped
injury, and he appeared to be determined
to use it to the best advantage
Since this adventure the Newfoundland
has been quite hero at Niagara. He still
haunts the neighaorhood Of the precipice,
but he is no longer seen trying to drink out
Of the river-Youth's Companion.

A Hint For Rainy weather.

During a recent stormy day gentle
man who had no umbrella. and who had
just come into town by local train,
perceived before him as he stepped into
the street a person whom he took to be
an acquaintance, and who had a fine
new umbrella hoisted over his head.
Runningiup to him, therefore, he clapped
him on the shoulder, saying as he did so
by way of a joke, I'm take that UNI
brella, if you please" The individual
thus addressed looked round and dis
closed perfect stranger, but before the
other could apologize he said hurriedly:
"Oh, it's yours, is it? Well, / didn't
know that. Here, you can have it," and
broke away, leaving the article in the
hands of the first party to the converse
ton. This narrative, which is strictly
true, affords a valuable hint to persons
who may be caught out without protec.
ton from the rain.-London Tit-Bits.

His Own Architect.

The late DIR. Norvin Green was a very
good specimen Of self made man. As a
boy he paid the mortgage on his fathers
farm down in Kentucky and educated him
self by chopping wood. He did not become
interested in the telegraph business until
late, after he had practiced medicine for
several years, but when he turned his at
tention to this business he mastered it, and
the Western Union Telegraph company
probably owes as large a share of its sue
