A Youthful ULYSSES.

A Grecian boy, ten years old, whose
name requires % letters in the spell
ing of it, arrived in st. LOUIS, nam
and all, after %journeying alone more
than 1000 miles.
When he reached Union station
there was a tag on his coat which
showed that K-onstantenos A%rgeropu-
los (the name) was bound for the
home Of his father, Nicolas Argero-
pulos, 419 South Broadway, and
would the officials please see that he
reached his destination"
Konstantenos was unable to speak
a word Of English. but he received
much attention on the train from Bos-

fairly overloaded him with good
things to eat.
The boy sailed from Piraeus,
Greece. about three weeks ago.-St.

Some excitement was created in a
Berlin street the other day by a Turk
who ran after the Kaiser's automobile,
shouting "Imperator tschok yascha"
CLong live the emperor). The motor
did not stop, but the man was taken
in charge by policemen and led to
the royal palace, where an official
questioned him Che could not speak a
word of Germany, and received the pc
tition he wanted to hand to the kai-
ser. He proved to be the owner OF a
sawmill, which had been craftily taken
from him. Aged 20, and doomed to a
life Of nOverty, he had appealed for
justice 10 the sultan, who, however,
had paid no heed tn him; whereupon
Hussin undertook the journey to Ber-
lin to implore the aid of the kaiser,
who is considered in Constantinople a
sort of guardian saint since his orr
entail tour, during which he promised
his assistance not only to Turkey as

EDISON and the Alrahln.

Judging from Mr.. Edison's recent
birthday manifesto his friends should
labor with him earnestly on the sub
iect of airships. To those who have
faith in the unimpaired powers of the
modern wizard and take no stock in
the notion that he has shot his bolt
as a worker of marvels it would APP
pear that all that is needed to insure
the speedy advent of the long dream
ed of era of aerial travel is to con
vince Mr.. Edison of the utility of
starting It. Mr.. Edison was 60 years
old recently. In the course of some
occasional remarks on his own career
and his plans for the future he incl
dentally expressed his belief that in
tine We shall have airships sailing
20 feet or so above ground along the
lines Of our roads, avoiding conflicts
in the air in this way. If" added the
inventor musingly, Il could convince
myself that the airship would prove
useful, I would have a try at it my
self" Mr.. Edison, who, we trust, has
not yet struck u as an inventor, GER
tainly should have a try at it." There
should be no doubt whatever of the
varied utility of the arrival of the
dirigible airship as a fashionable and
practical means of pleasure and loco
motion. For instance, suggests the
Milwaukee Sentinel, the advent of a
real airship craze must at once elm
mate from automobiling Ito the great
advantage of the sport, the trade, and
the innocent bystanders) that danger
GUS class of scorchers and feather
brains generally. who would eagerly
betake themselves to the new fad as
something particularly novel, exclu-
sive and spectacular. By transfer
ring their breakneck operations from
the public highways to the ambient
air a great source of vexation and
peril would be removed. Let Mr..
Edison go ahead, and make some
amends for the musical photograph.

BOOKS WRITTEN IN BLOOD.
Real curlosltles in the University Of
North Dakota.

Books written in good red blood,
now nearly 300 years old, the letters
still clear and plain, is a sight well
worth going miles to see. There are
but few such books left in the world.
One of the best collections of these
is now safely lodged in the great
Scandinavian library of the Uni
versity of North Dakota, Grand Forks.
They are not written in human blood,
for such was not the custom in the
far-off, frozen island Of Iceland,
whence these volumes come. Ok
blood was used, for this was the only
ink at that early time in this northern
land. The books are bound in rough
strips Of beech wood, REINFORCED with
brass and iron clasps. The paper is
faded and brown, but the curious old
Morse letters, carefully penned with
a goose quill, are still distinct and
clear, although the bright crimson of
the blood is somewhat dimmed. These
volumes are all on religious subjects,
and consist of psalms, Bible verses
and spiritual teachings.
They are very precious books, after
their long wanderings with the Ice
landic immigrants from Iceland to
Canada, and from Canada to North
Dakota. But at last they are at home!
in their adopted land, even as the Ice
landers of the state, and the thou
sands of Danes, N%orwegians and
Swedes are at home in this new com.
monwealth.

self with the final version Of King
George H., but a change was made by
tsieen Victoria.
The tenet that the royal arm S be-
long only and exclusively to the SOW
ereign dates back to the reign Of Ed
ward l., IL not beyond. All the other
members of the royal family bear the
royal arms "differenced" by marks Of
distinction. How this diferencing
vas effected in early times is not
Lnown. though what was the particu-
lar difference employed in each case
there are plenty of records to show.
In modern times, at any rate since the
Stuart dynasty, it has been dole by
means of royal warrants under the
sign manual and privy seal of the SOW
ereign. Anciently the difference marks
we're two-either a %''bordure" or a
label" For a long time past the
label has been exclusively used. The
label, which is now always white, is
a straight bar across the top of the
shield, from which hang three Tor
sometimes ive) points. These POINTS
are perfectly plain for the heir appar-
ent, but for all other members Ct the
royal family they are charged with
different objects, of which a multitu-
dinous variety have been calleC into
use.
These labels are placed upon the
shield and upon each of the SUPPORT
ers, and in the case of princes Upon
the crest also; princesses, of course,
have no crest.
Not only are such warrants issued
for those who by blood descent are
members of our royal family, but
sometimes also for those who only en-
ter the royal family by alliance. Such
a warrant was issued by Queen Vic
toria for the late prince consort, and
the royal arms of this country differ

arms of Saxony were what was as
signed to him in the warrant. All of
his descendants except the king retain
the arms of SaXony upon their shield.
but bear the coat upon an %inescutch-
con. AS above stated, King Edward
VII. has now issued a warrant for
Queen Alexandra, and this warrant re-
cites that her majesty shall use and
bear within the Garter our royal arms
impaling the royal arms of Denmark
surmounted by our crown" The sup
pnrters assigned to the queen in the
warrant are Dexter, a lion guardant
or. crowned proper" and Sinister, a
savage wreathed about the temples
and loins with oak, and supporting in
the exterior hand a club all proper
This latter is one of the Danish sup
p%orters. The king also permits the
queen to use his crown. This crown,
by the way, is a fiction. 1t has no real
existence, and the warrant will not
affect the crow her majesty wears,
which is a small one, entirely of dia-
monds. The crown the queen wore
at the coronation was of another pat
tern.

he will be lucky, for the vines are

Supporters"
The law which governs the royal
arms in this country bears little If any
relation to the law controlling the
armorial ensigns of subjects, and,
though more rigid in it's rules, it never
theless closely follows upon the old
customs and rules conformed to by
the Bourbons when France was roy
alist.
The cardinal rules lying at the base
of royal heraldry are first that the
king can do anything in such matters
by merely declaring his pleasure by
means of a formal royal warrant, and
second, that the royal arms as such
are not personal and are not heredi-
tary, but are the emblems of the indy
ing sovereignty of the realm.
The sovereign can at any moment
declare by warrant what the royal
arms shall be for the future, and
though this is usually lone imme-
diately upon ascending the throne, and
a subsequent change but seldom &C.
ours, such changes do happen. There
were no less than three changes in

Whv "a canard ?,


Does anyone know the origin OF the
word "Canard," a duck, as meaning a
false report, especially in a newspa-
per? 1 came upon the explanation
only recently, says a writer in Vanity
Fair. 1t is this. About 1860 a French
journalist, being hard UP for news,
wrote an amazing story in a leading
Paris journal to the effect that he had
kept and fattened 20 live ducks, and
one day being short of duck-food he
killed one, chopped it up, and distri-
buted it among the other 10. The fol-
lowing day he slaughtered another
bird, and the IS ducks ate it up. So
he went on from day to day, until
there was only a solitary duck left,
which had, of course, assimilated most
of the other 10. The enterprising
press gentleman then related that he
had this last duck for his W dinner,
thus practically eating the score of
birds at one meal. The amazing yarn
went the round of the papers at the
time, and formed the origin of the
term "canard" for a humping big
story.
