the story by Rudyard Kipling. In point of length it is readily a novel, cite, and it combines in one narra- tive tihe diverse attractions of his previous stories of army life in India and his tales of the jungle, the part of hero being divided about evenly between a young English officer and "clouded" tiger. The illustrations of the story are exceptionally inter pretive and strong.

 years. It is rapped in the fog of idiers'
 dreams. Its streets are paved with discarded
 schemes, And sprinkled with useless tears. The collegebredfool and the Richman's

 Are plentiful there, no doubt; The rest of the crowd are a motley
 crew
  The foolkiller is barred out. The town of Nogood is all hedged
 about
 By the Mountains of Despair, No sentinel stands on its gloomy
 walls, No trumpet to battle and triumph
 calls.

NOT IA NEW SCHEME.
Andree Not the First to Take Pigeons
 to the Pole.

Writers for the contempo ary press who have recently treated of Andree's essay to reach the north pole in a bal loon appear to have forgotten-if, in- deed. they ever knew-that ca. risr pigeons have previously been taken to the Arctic regions by other ex- plorers, and that in one instance it is believed a bird made it's way south to its old home in Scotland
 When Sir John Ross set out in the Felix in search of Sir John Frank Tins expedition, in 1850, he took with him four hcming pigeons belonging to 2 woman in Ayrshire, intending to Nberate two of them when the ate Of the ice rendered it necessary to lay up his vessel for the winter and tihe other two when he discovered the missing explorer, if he should be so fortunate.
 A pigeon made its appearance al. the dove cote in Ayrshire on Octo- Der l3, which the woman recognized by marks and circumstances that left no doubt in her mind of it being one of the younger pair presented bv her TO Sir John. It carried no billet. but dlneFTe were indications, in the loss of Ieainers on the breast, of one having been torm from under the wine Though it is known that the speFd of pigeons IS equal to one hundred miles an hour, the distance from Melville Island to Ayrshire, being in a direct fne about 2,400 miles, is so great that evidence of the bird having been sent oil as early as October 10 was re- Qulred before it could be believed thai no mistake was made in the iden i- ncatlon of the jndi vidual which came to the cote,
 Ut was afterward aacu-r aimed that Sir John Ross dispatched the younger pair on October a.d 7, 1850, in a basket suspended from a balloon dur- mg west northwest gale By a con- T1vadlce of a slow match the birds we're to be- liberated at the end of twenty -four hours. The reader. can form his cIwn opinion as to the id=n- tlty of !the pigeon in question. but at the tsfr1 it was fully believed that the bird was one of the two sent off from the eApedilion in Melville bay.
 Ifie expedltoin fitted out by Lady Fra klin in 1851, which sailed in the Prince AEbeNJ, under command of Will liam Kennady, took a number of homlng pigeons. It reached Upsr- naVih on June 10, and, after taking on board some Esquimau dogs, set out to explore the shores of Prince Regents inlat The much dreaded
 middle ice" was reached soon after leaving, and four days were spent in passing through it to the western side of hhe bay, during which time the mem wo-le constantly employed in sailing. boring, pushing, warp;ng. not fnfrequently exposed to the perilous
 nips, which are sometimes produc- tive of dire consequences. At this point iu the voyage it was deemed advisable to test Lhe powers of the pigeons but the poor birds refused to take tlha long flight to England, and absolutely persisted in returning to Slloe ship again and again after a short survey of Ithe icy region in Which they we're let loose.-Bcston Herald.

SOME AMERICAN NAMES.
Facts About Their Origin and the
Prevalent PrOnunciatiOns.
(ChicagO Times -Herald.l

CnlcdS0 times Herdld.)
Just what constitutes an American
name is probably matter for argument.
1t Is certain that many OF the greatest
names i'm Ireland, 10 take a familiar ex-
ample, are not Irish at all, nor even Gel
tic, but purely Norman like Fitzgerald
OF Saxon like Desmond. 1t would be pop
ularly stated that all OF the Presidents
OF the United States have had American
names, in the sense that all OF their
family names represent lines Of descent
old in the country; for certainly, they
have little else in common.
Washington is an English territorial
name, being. with the exception OF Lin
coin and Garfield. the only one OF its
kind in the list. Adams, jefferson, Mad
ison Jackson, Johnson, Harrison arc all
true derivations from Christian names,
meaning. respectively. the son OF Adam.
OF Godfrey, of Matthew, OF John, and
OF Harry which last is not nickname
in E0rish but the true form OF the
word, Henry being later and a purely
slavish following OF the French spelling
of tho word Polk is an abbreviation Of
Pollock or Pollok, itself from Paul, and
the ''I' I'm it used to be sounded. though
1t is now dropped for the sake OF Gu
phony. Pierce follows the same analo-
gy, coming from Peter. the French
Pierre-''Piers Ploughman." Tyler, Tay
lor. and Cleveland are from occupa-
lions. Hayes IS from an old English
word. hay" meaning simply hedge,
and denoting in the first instance one
who dwelt near a notable feature OF that
kind in the rural landscape. Fillmore
seems TO be nickname fastened TO a
bibulous ancestor. Buchanan Is Scotch,
and the first syllable is TO be sounded
with short. not a long u Mckin-
lev is also Celtic Van Buren, Is Dutch.
Lincoln derives the latter syllable OF the
name from the Latin Colonial" indica-
ting that In ancient times the Romans
held a colony in that particular locality
while the field" In Garfeld's name has
the Significance In Danish OF a camp OF
fort the gar" meaning a weapon, as IN
the Christian name Edgar. and the
whole standing for a battle ground
Grant is simply the old Norman-French
grand, and means great, properly
enough.
These distinguished patronymics arc
not cited because OF their oddly. but be-
cause. Saxon, French. Danish, Dutch, anC
Scotch alike. they are what Is to be un-
derstood by American" names. Citizens
OF the great republic can hardly hope e
