TITLES.

The centurion, as the name implies.
was the commander of 100 men in the
Roman army.
The title baililf was formerly very
honorable, and the official was vested
with many important powers.
The title colonel comes from the word
almost the same in several languages,
signifying a column. The colonel was
so called because he led or c)mmandcd
the column.
The title mayor comes from the
French and originally signliied zone
who keeps guard" He was the head
steward of city, administering its af-
fairs in the name of the king.
Imperator was originally n title OF
honor bestowed on victorious general,
After the downfall OF the Roman re
public Y became the title OF the SUI
preme ruler and had the sense of our
word emperor.
The royal title beg has now almost
disappeared and when used in tie NJ
tered form of hey is applied TO mill
tary rank in the Turkish army. Orig
inally It was deemed more honorable
than that Of sultan.

A writer on tlmningoes, which he
has Guided in their haunts in the Ba-
hamas, says of them: They are prob
ably as near to the geese rs to any
other order of birds, having a similar
structure of bill and feet and some
what similar feather character. They
are unique. however, in their curiously
bent bill. which, though gooselike in
general economy. is constructed in
every detail upside down, as the bird
in feeding reaches down to the bottom
and places the top of the bill down.
The tongue is also constructed IN the
same inverted way The webbed feet
are for sustaining the birds il the soft
ooze they love to feed in, acting like
snow shoes"

Not so well known among the occi-
