was like complimenting him ON the col.

the way, he announces in another place,

affected by the mud and dirt Of the
streets. This ingenious explanation, like
his statement that Pope was not buried
In Westminster abbey because he was
Catholic. and that Queen Anne in st.
Paul's churchyard wears a hoop, seems
to suggest that some of his obliging in

Grosley to "bite." But, in saving
that his chapter of clubs is disappoint-

Thin Skinned Oranges.

It has often been questioned why
orange growers will graft and plant
varieties with thick skins when the
great public appreciates a thin skinned
one more highly. Asking grower, if
not one of the secrets of the orange
growing trade. why this was thus, he
replied that the thin skinned kinds were
rarely as productive as the thick skinned
ones-that the public would give no
more for box Of thin skins than for q
box of thick ones-and as there was
consequently more profit in growing
orange skins than in growing orange
flesh the skins carried the day,
We have never heard such an expla-
nation before, and this may be only
"chaff. I" Still. the great question re-
mains. Why do orange growers graft
and plant thick skinned sorts when the
thin skins are observation-disclosures

THE WORLD AT LARGE
Miscellaneous Bits Of Information,

A Cautious Jurist.

In an action for the value Of hounds
killed by train the opinion of the court
says: 1.-THE plaintiffs version is that
the train was going west, toward Chat
tanooga. and the dogs were going east,
toward Knoxville. They were all on the
same track and going in opposite direc-
tions. and under these facts head end
collision was unavoidable. And again /:
ut Ia insisted by the plaintiff that
while the whistle was sounded 1t was
intended for the whole pack and not for
the three dogs that were run over. This,
however. seems TO be q mere opinion Of
the witness. az he was q quarter of q
mile away from the place when the
whistle was sounded. In addition it
would, we think. be requiring too great
diligence for the engineer to whistle for
each particular dog, and more especial
ly as he had no means Of informing
each dog that any special whistle was
sounded for him. Upon these facts 1t
appears that the receivers were running
their train upon their own track, on
regular schedule time, and had no other
track at that place upon which they
conld run. On the other hand, the plain
tits dogs were running ON the rail
roads track instead Of the fox's track.
which simply crossed the railroad" On
these facts it is held that ''the dogs
were guilty Of the grossest contributory
negligence and were only entitled to
such consideration as trespassers have
under the law. Case and Comment.

That troublesome X.

an almost insurmonntable obstacle.
There was once in eastern Tennessee

tirely self educated, who had this same
obstacle Of photography to contend with
all his days In early life he had lived
In Knoxville. and for long time insist
ed on spelling the name knoxville.

the point of adding the K SO thorough

when. a few years afterward. be re-
moved to Nashville. nothing could pre-
vent him from spelling the name Knash-
willie.
After few years. residence there the
judge removed again. this time to Muir
freesboro One day he sat down to write
his frst letter from this place. He
scratched his head in perplexity for a
moment. and finally exclaimed:

Boston's Public Library,

In Boston, at least, is public library
where the eye may share its pleasure
with the mind and our popular taste
may gain that impulse In the right d.
rection for which. with us. the opportu-
nifty is still far too meager. We have
had no Medici to adorn our streets. and
often our public buildings have been the
de2lorable issues Of inexperienoe and
political scheming. Now. for once. we
have an enduring monument worthy OF
our material prosperity and progress.
Turning away, We hnger and look back
at the long inscription of its northern
facade - "The Commonwealth Re-
quires the Education Of the People as
the Safeguard Of Order and Nberty"--
and we are profoundly grateful to the
commonwealth which has justified itself
80 nobly that all the world may learn

Derivation Of .Charivari.-

1t is stated that this word is found in
French in the fourteenth century, and
reference is made to Littre. have no
means of referring to Littre, but desire
to indicate the use of the words "chery
feire" by Cover. / give the complete
sentences from the prologue to the Con
fessio Amantis:"

The late Professor Henry Morley, in
the "Carisbrooke" edition Of the Soon

gives "charivari" as the equivalent Of
''chery feire." Is this the form in which
the expression occurs in early French?
II so, it would seem that this puzzling
word should yield its secret to persistent
investigation on the part Of French
scholars. though there are two words to
