WHENCE CAr1E TURKEY.

Despite the query, What's in
name?" more than one conjecture will
rise on Christmas day at the festive
board How did Mr.. Turkey get his
name? The turkey, il must be con-
fessed. is rather unfortunate in the
matter of names. 1t was introduced
into England about the year 1541, and,
not knowing where it originally came
from, the folks there thought from its
manners and appearances that IL must
be a Turk, and so called it turkey
bird. But not only was the poor bird
deprived of it's birthright as a native
American i'm its English name. but so
ignorant were the so-called men of sci
ence, supposing a turkey was some sort
of guinea fowl, they called IL meleagris
so ii happens an American bird is "A
Turk and turkey Is, in name, n
guinea fowl. The turkey belongs 10
the family of scratchers. All of you
have seen turkeys, so description of
the bird is superiiuous. You remember
the Iivid blue head, red legs and the
copper bronze color of the plumage,
each feather with a velvet black mar
gin. and the long tuft OF bristles on the
neck. The tame turkey is sometimes
white or parti-colored, and varies In
color. The wild turkeys are all the same
color.
Some animals and beasts improve
and become larger and finer looking an
imals when brought under the domin'
ion OF mankind. This is not the case
with the turkey. which has deteriora'
ted having lost weight and beauty by
being domesticated.--Phila Times.

PASSPORTS NOT NEEDED NOW

There are few countries in which
travellers now require passports in or
der to promote their convenience and
security. In Brazil and Venezuela a
passport must be shown to the officials
before one is allowed TO leave the coun-
try for a foreign port. This is a vexa-
tious measure, enforced, apparently.
for the sake of enabling a few officials
to collect small fees.
In Russia passport regulations are
enforced with great stringency. No
traveller is allowed to enter the empire
until he has obtained n passport and
convinced the Russian consular officers
at the port from which he sails that he
is neither a Roman Catholic priest nor
a Hebrew The question ordinarily
asked is."What is your religion? but
Il Is designed to provide against the en-
try OF either of these two classes
When the traveller arrives at Rus
sian port with a passport. which has
been properly viseed and countersigned
at n consular office. it is critically ex-
amined by police officer and duly reg
isterru.
At the entrance Of the hotel another
police officer takes possession OF the
document. and I'm the course OF twenty
four hours returns II with permit TOT
limited residence i'm the country.
When the traveller departs for an
other city In the empire. he must have
the passport countersigned by the po-
lice. This process continues until he
reaches the frontier. which he cannot
cross unless the passport has been vi
seed and stamped by the police. Not
infreuuently tourists are stopped at
the frontier. and subjected to serious
inconvenience because they have neg
lected to comply with the police regula-
tions respecting passports.
All this red tape causes annoyance
and irritation among tourists. who are
apt 10 overlook the fact that Russians.
as well as foreigners. are compelled TO
observe these police regulations. IL is
the business OF the police to know
where everybody lodges. \ permit is
