CONCERNING OLIVE OIL.
Our Consul at Marseilles Gives Interesting
information.

Our consul at Marseilles, in answer
to question asked by a man from In
diana, says the Indianapolis News,
sets out some interesting facts con-
cerning olive oil. The Indiana man
inclosed label that he had removed
from bottle Of imported French
olive oil. He wrote that, the weather
being very cold, the oil had frozen
about one-tenth Of it appeared to be
olive oil, while the restappeared to be
CONCEALED cottonseed oil. The consul
says from his knowledge Of the firm
that the label represents, he is sure the
bottle contained what it was said to
contain--namely, superior virgin
olive oil. guaranteed quality" That
it CONCEALED, he SAYS, was probably
due to the fact that it was what is
known as tender oil, which in cold
weather congeals rapidly, whereas a
hard olive oil is especially calculated
to resist climatic changes. OF the
subject generally, the consul says that

THE FUNNY MAN.
Can Be Gloomy as Well as Humorous at
Times.

Can Be Gloomy as Well as Humorous at
Times.
''rhe gloomiest man in the world |
is the funmaker when he begins to feel |
sad, said a thoughtful citizen to a
New Orleans Times Democrat man,
'and l have often thought that re-
lulsiOn from a Falstahian or Pickwick-
ian mood to the more melancholy con-
dition Of sober-mindedness must car
ry with il depressing influence
which the average man wots not OF.
Fun has its serious side. Sometimes
the joke is but the other side Of a
tragedy. There is food for reflection
along these lines, somewhat of the
philosophy which idle minds have
woven into the wool and warp of hu-
man life since men began to know and
love each other. ! recall reading some
time ago that women were inclined to
love more readily the two extremes,
the funny man and the melancholy.
Love of the lighthearted and the friv-
olous, on the one hand, and the ele-
ment Of compassion and sympathy
upon the other, may explain the fact,
if it is a fact, and | do not doubt it.
Women somehow are built that way,
and the world is better for it, But
the funny man is not always funny.
Sometimes his jests are the little
sunny weapons which he uses to beat
back the despondency which is about
to sweep down upon him. His little
sallies provoke the laughter of his
friends, and they jest and laugh to-
gether until the shadows pass, and
the light comes, and the sunny sideof
life is there again. Thus one may use
the laughter Of ones friends in the
unequal struggle against the unhap-
pier moods. When the lips begin to
part, and the teeth begin to show,
when the dimples begin to play, and
the human voice ripples out in jolly
laughter, melancholy may seek her
hiding, for the world begins to bright
en-. Even the mock laughter in the
song and the play, when it bubbles
forth as the result of some happy i'm
pulse, cheers the world and makes it
better, And yet one scarcely knows
where to draw the line between the
comic and the tragic. | have seen
men and women laugh at the rawlings
of King Lear and idly jest when Shy
lock shambled from the stage, ruined,
disappointed, broken-hearted. /

THE TITLE OF NICHOLAS II.
Said Not to Be a Corruption of the Word
Caesar.


The national title Of the Russian /
sovereign Is not, as il las been ,ald
by some etymologist, more ingenious (
than educated, the corruption of the |
word caesar, like the Germanie kaiser. /
for instance, SAYS the Paris L'Evene-
meuJ The cause Of this error is that
al the beginning Of the eighteenth
century We only knew the Russians
through the Poles, with whom we had
international intercourse long before
We got acquainted with the MuscO-
yltes. The word car is the Polish
form Of the word "tsar. with slight
difference of pronunciation which
distinguishes the two words derived
from the Slayonic language. We
know that all the Russians, like all
the Slays, belong to the Greek
church, use the Cyrillic alphabet con-
tanning 3S signs, still employed in the
sacred language. but reduced TO 81 in
the common language, The Catholic
Slays, like the Poles, having kept the
Latin alphabet Of "a signs, were com
PEELED 10 resort to combinations Of
double letter, to take the place Of the
"sibiIant' consonants which are
found in the Cyrillic alphabet The
"cz forms one of these combinations;
hence the Polish photography which
va, adopted at first by some illustri-
on, writer, like Noltaire and Saint
Simon The same rule applies to the
derivatives Of the word tsar; tsarine,
tsareyna. tsareyitch. which some au-
thors persist in writing czarine, car
eyna. czarewitch. These words are
even spelled cesarine, casereyna and
cesareyitch, as a tribute to their I'M
aginary origin. But the word "tsar'
has no Latin etymology; it is not the
translation ofthe word Caesar The
proof of tits that Peter the Great add
ed the title imperator to his title Of
tsar during the first years Of hi, reign.
Concerning the true etymology of
"tsar' we may be obliged to look for
it in the Persian "sar.' which means
king, and is an old Chaldean word.

as selling stolen goods. for no title

the finder complies with the law,
which is that as soon as he finds any
thing he reports the same to the near

rank. If in a certain time the owner
does not turn up the thing found goes
to the finder, minus commission to
the government. Keeping a find Sc

no law in this district on the subject,
though practice obtains which is just
as good as law. / am very clear
that anyone has a good title to any
find after a reasonable time, provided
he has advertised it in newspaper
of general circulation and no owner
turns up to claim it. Giving notice Of
a find to the police may be regarded as
an advertisement, but the actual pub
lie advertisement is much safer to the
finder, provided he wants an undis-

holds good in the case Of an animal
found astray as well. The fnderis en-
titled to the expense advertisement

feeding the animal in addition there

loser to pay more. 1t is rare that
