The fund which has been drawn upon in
so many cases of charity during the past
twenty-five years has been accumulated by
the contribution of 10 cents by the members

cause for Captain Boycqtts recent popular
ity is his embracing of the new anti-taxa-

such former unionists as Lord Castletown
and Lord Maurice Fitzgerald have heartily
entered Indeed. there is serious talk of
sending Captain Boycott as NJ. p. for the
intensely national district of Mayo, in which
he lives. This would indeed be a change of
opinion-but Ireland has ever been country
of such surprises. Certainly the venerable
land agent would make vigorous legislator.
NEWSPAPERS MAKE LANGUAGE
The first newspaper to use the verb "tc
boycott was United Ireland, fiery organ
OF the radical wing of the Parnelite party.
The stamp of journalistic approval was set
on the word by the London Times in De-
cember. 1880; and the American papers
seized on 1t with ayidity as "flling a long
felt want A few years later all the prin-
cipal English dictionaries and several for
oign ones admitted it to their columns A
leading American authority says under this
head:
"Bolcott (boi'koO V. t. Cfrom the name OF
the first prominent victim of the system,

and soon became dixie the practice) common

was adopted by the newspapers in nearly

A Failure.

A certain professor in one of the lead
ing schools of this city was not long
since DESTROYS of Incorporating some
negro dialect in story he was prepar-
ing. Not being very well versed in their
manner of speech, he bethought him
that it would be a good idea to study
the language in its purity undefiled.
With this end in view he betook himself
to the vicinity Of the Union depot, near
which representatives of the ebon race
are always to be found.
One effort was enough. Meeting a
coal black negro driving a wagon rather
well loaded and accosting him as
"Uncle john" the following brief dia-
logue ensued:
''Pretty heavy load, uncle. Can you
get up the hill with it'?'
II do not know, sir, but presume
sou
Such an example of pure and undo
filed English coming from such an I'M
expected source almost paralyzed the
professor, who muttered something
about the "degeneracy of the modern
negro" and, mentally deciding to con-
suit the works of "Uncle Remus," he
retraced his steps to his apartments. S.

CASAN, THE TARTAR DWARF.
A Fierce Little Mongolian Who Lived
Centuries Ago.

A Fierce Little Mongolian Who Lived
Centuries Ago.
In the series of papers ON Historic
Dwarfs, in st. Nicholas, Mary Shears
Roberts describes the famous Casan.
Mrs. Roberts says:
Casan was the name Of little Mon
gol Tartar who fourished in the early
part Of the thirteenth century.
He was born in the eastern part Of
Asia, not far from the ancient city of
Karakorum. His parents belonged to
one Of the barbarian hordes that owed
allegiance to Genghis Khan, and Casan
became a fierce though small warrior
and fought bravely under the banner of
the great and mighty Mongol conqueror.
The exact height of this little dwarf
is unknown. He was certainly not over
three feet tall, but he was active and
muscular and, like all his race, could
endure hunger, thirst, fatigue and cold.
The Tartars were unexcelled in the
management Of their beautiful horses.
The fleetest animals were trained to
stop short in full career, and to face
without finching wild beast or formi-
dable foe. Casan was born soldier, and
at an early age became expert in all the
exercises that belonged to Tartar edu-
cation. He could manage a fiery courser
with great skill and could shoot an ar
row or throw lance with unerring
aim, in full career, advancing or re-
treating.
Like many Of those small in stature.
he was anything but puny in spirit,
and while yet lad he gathered about
him troop Of wild young Tartar boys
as reckless and daring as himself, of
whom by common consent he became
leader. He commanded his lawless
young comrades with strange mixture
Of dignity and energy, and they obeyed
his orders with zeal and willingness.
Sometimes they would go on long hunt
ing expeditions, seldom failing to lay
waste any lonely habitation they hap
pened on.

dread enemy of mankind consumption.
The weapon with which these men have
successfully combated this grim destroyer
has been DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. It is the only known medicine
that will prevent and cure consumption.
Taken in time, it will always ward off this
deadly disease, and even after the devastat-
ing germs have attacked the lungs, it will
cure 90 per cent of all cases. 1t acts di-
rectly on the lungs, building up new,
healthy tissues and driving out all disease
germs. 1t corrects all stomach and diges-
tive troubles, invigorates the liver and
makes the appetite keen and hearty. 1t Is

LOOKS LIKE A BEAR.
A Diminutive Animal That You Can Find
In Water.

A Diminutive Animal That You Can Find
In Water.
He really looks very much like a
bear, though you must put him under
powerful microscope to see the resem-
blance. The extraordinary thing, how
ever, about this tiny creature is that he
is found in the cutters of houses, where
he is at one time dry as dust and scorch-
ed by the blazing sun, at another active
and full Of life under a refreshing
shower Of rain.
The water bear is one Of the Rotifer
animalcules, and is of all of them the
most capable Of standing any extremes
of temperature without giving up the
ghost. He may be left dried up for
months, even years, and yet on being
put into water will expand and begin
moving about and feeding vigorously.
Although he cannot stand boiling wa
ter, he will live in dry heat at far
higher temperature, even up to $50
degrees f. One has actually been kept
In vacuum for 80 days with sulphurio
acid and chloride of calcium without
losing his capablllty OF revlvlhcatlon.
As for the reason why, it seems the
little beasts bodies are chiefly COM
posed of albumen, which, it is we'll
known, will stand a very high temper
allure without losing its solubility.
Then, too, they are provided with two
skins, one over the other, and these
skins are wonderfully tough and elastic.
The water bear has the scientific
name Of tardigrada, because he takes
life SO easy. He is always fat and
plump and spends his waking periods
in constantly grubbing with his four
pairs of legs among whatever rubbish
comes in his way. Having eyes, brain
and nervous system, he is much ahead
of his tribe, and is altogether one of the
most interesting and amusing little ami
mails known to science. Tit
