Ireland,s Many Names.

Few countries have suffered so
many changensof- name as Ire
land. In tKeItime of Ptolemy
the island was known as Scotia,
Diodorus Siculas calls the island
Iris, or Irisi; in the De Mundo,
credited by some scholars to Arts
totle, it is called Irenne; in the
Araganautica of Orpheus it APP
pears as Irinus; Strabo called it
Irene; Caesar, Tacitus and Pliny
mentioned it as Hibernia; Mela
called it Juverna. The native
names in Celtic are Ir, Fri or
Erin. Plutarch mentions it I'M
der the name of Ogygia. The
name Ireland is no doubt derived
from the native Ir or Fri, but
when it came into general use is
a question concerning which scho-
lars are much at variance.

Chinese Conrt Historians.

There are court historians In
China, as there are in other coun-
tries, but there is one striking diff
ference, and it lies in the fact
that the work of the Chinese
court historians does not see the
light until the reigning dynasty
comes to an end.
In this way these Celestial his
torians have an opportunity to
describe most truthfully the vir
tues and vices of the various rul-
ers and the real significance of
the events which take place dur
ing their regime. They can write
what they please without fear of
censure, for they know that their
work will not be published as
long as the reigning dynasty lasts.
This has been the rule for more
than two thousand years, the first
court historians having been APP
pointed by the imperial house of
Han, which reigned from 206 Il,
c. until % A. d,
The duty of these historians is
to write plain account of all the
events. that occur during their
tenure of Office. At regular in.
tervals their completed work is
taken from them and is locked up
in an iron safe or vault. There
it remains until the first member
of a new dynasty ascends the
throne.
1t is then given with all the
other histories in the vault to the
court historian who is then living
and from the mass OF documents
he is expected to prepare a truth
full history of the dynasty which
has just expired The present
dynasty has been reigning since
1914, and consequently no court
history has been published since

No Respector OF Royalty.

Emperor Francis Joseph OF
Austria has a keen sense of HUI.
NOR. He was riding through .
narrow country road recently to
a town called Szent-Jacob. The
local postmaster came along, driv.
ing the mail to the railroad sta.
ton. He kept to the middle Of
the road, refusing to turn out,
and forcing the coachman of the
royal carriage to turn his team
into the gully alongside the road.
The emperor hailed the self-satis.
fed peasant and asked him why
he had not yielded a part of the
road.
"why? Because the royal
Hungarian post gives the road to
nobody"
Every good" answered the EN-.
peror laughingly, and handed the
yokel a gold piece to show that
there was no hard feeling.-New

Rancher Ambrose Larsen of Sehome
is at Tacoma, en- route to San Francis
CO. to place himself in charge of a
famous surgeon there. In September,
during a terrible struggle with dy-
ing bear, Larsen had the bones in his
right arm above his elbow completely
crushed. He has undergone operations
at Fairhaven and Victoria, but his arm
does not heal. Instead, pieces of bone
keep working out, causing sores and
boils. He has heard of a San Francisco
surgeon who has cut away diseased
bone matter successfully, and is going
to him in hopes of saving his arm.
which must otherwise be amputated.
In September Larsen caught in dead
fall an immense brown bear that had
been stealing his pigs. A log of the
trap had fallen on the bear, breaking
its back. Larsen fired two shots into
the bears head and thought life had
killed it. He then climbed into the
nit to ascertain If he could readily skin
his prize. He had no sooner put his
arm under the bears head than the
latter caught Larsen's right arm be-
tween his teeth, biting into the bone.
At the same time the bear sent his
claws into one of Larsen's boots. Lar
sen suffered the most terrible agony,
and saved his life only by promptly
using his rifle, which he had taken
into the pit. With his left hand and
knees he discharged the rifle into the
bears right eye and then down its
throat. Larsen then spent half an hour
prying the hrute's jaws open and ex-
