FAMOUS STAR GROUP.
The Constellation Orion In Legend and
Literature.


Literature.
The constellation Orion Is mentioned
in the literature of all ages. In Egypt
it represented Horus. the young or ris-
ing sun. in a boat surmounted by stars.
closely followed by Sirius. which was
shown as a COW. II has also been
found sculptured on the walls OF
Thebes 5000 years ago. And ON tine
men of that early time 1t shone down
from the same position and with the
same brightness as 1t does on us today.
a striking example of the unchange'
ableness of the heavens.
From the days of the early Hindus
to the present the constellation has for
some reason borne always a stormy
character illusions to its direful In
fiuence are found everywhere among
the classic writers. Thus Milton wrote:
When with fierce winds orion arrived
Hath vexed the Red sea coast.
The loss of the Roman squadron in
the first Punic war was ascribed to the
fleets having sailed just after the ris-
ing of Orion. The group has also been
employed as calendar sign, its morn
ing rising indicating the beginning OF
summer, its midnight rising the season
of grape gathering and its early even
ing rising the arrival of winter, with
its attendant storms. In recent times
the group has always represented
great hunter or warrior. Its present
title came into Greek astronomy from
the Euphrates and originally signified
the light of heaven.

Corneille did not speak correctly the
language of which he was such a mas
ter. Descartes was silent in mixed
society. Themistocles, when asked to
play on lutte, said, II cannot fiddle,
but l can make a little village into a
great CITY," Addison was unable to
converse in company. Virgil was heavy
colloquially. La Fontaine was coarse
and stupid when surrounded by men.
The Countess of Pembroke had been
often heard to say of Chaucer that his
silence was more agreeable to her
than his conversation. Socrates, cele-
brated for his written oradons, was so
timid that he never ventured to speak
in public. Dryden said that he was
unfit for company. Hence it has been
remarked, "Mediocrity can talk; it is

THE BELTED PLAID.
This Was the Original Dress of the
Scottish Highlander.

SSoesob
The original dress Of the highlander
was the belted plaid This was piece
Of tartan cloth, two yards broad and
four long, which was drawn around
the waist in nicely adjusted folds and
tightly buckled with a belt. The lower
part came down to the knees in much
the same manner as the modern kilt
while the upper part was drawn up
and adjusted to the left shoulder. so
that the right arm might be perfectly
free. This upper part was the plaid,
which was used as a covering for the
shoulders and body in wet weather.
and when the use of both arms was
required 1t was fastened across the
breast with a brooch, often curiously
enriched. A brooch was also used to
fasten the plaid on the left shoulder.
To attire himself in the belted plaid
required on the part Of the highlander
no small amount of dexterity. The
usual way was to lay it on the floor
and after carefully arranging the
folds to lie down upon 1t and then
buckle 1t on. The lower end was fas-
tened at the right hip The utility of
such dress in the highlands is OBJ
vious, for the plaid rendered the man
Indifferent to storms and prepared to
pass a night in the open air in the
most inclement weather, while the
loose undergarment enabled him to
wade rivers or ascend mountains with
equal ease. 1t was thus peculiarly
adapted to the warrior, the hunter and
the shepherd.-London Mail.

Almost every medieval monarch
claimed a whole or a part Of the
dominions of almost every other and
insisted on inserting his claim in his
list of official titles. In treatises and
all official documents the whole list
was religiously copied, and as it often
happened that the two negotiating
monarchs had some of the same titles
it became usual to insert a clause in
the list non praejudlcando, in order to
indicate that no matter how absurd,
inappropriate or untrue were, the titles,
they were understood to be inserted
because they pleased the monarch who
claimed them, that they did not confer
q valid claim, and so no harm was
likely to result from their use.

MONEY FOR new
LIBRARY ARRIVES
ORDER FROM ANDREW cARNE-
GIE's PRIVATE SECRETARY FOR
$4,000 FOR FARGO COLLEGE IL
RRARY IS RECEIVED BY MR..
HANNA.

Saturday, Congressman L. B. Han
ma received an order from Mr.. Ber-
tram, Andrew Carnegies private Sec
rotary, for the sum or $4,000 to pay
for the new Fargo college library
building, which is now being con-
structed. The new library building is
almost completed and is the gift Of
Mr.. Carnegie.
Some five years ago, during the adj
ministration of President Morley at
Fargo college, Mr.. Carnegie agreed to
give $4,000 to the college for the
erection of a library. The trustees of
the institution thought the matter
over most judiciously and decided that
this sum was no adequate to erect a
library such as the college would need
for its use Mr. Hanna, as member
of the board of trustees. then took
the matter up and persuaded Mr.. Car
negie to raise the amount to $50, 0o0
The trustees of the institution
agreed to raise like sum for the
maintenance and endowment of the
library. This sum was secured by
the trustees and the total sum of $780,
900 will be brought into consideration
in the erection of the building. The
dedication of the new library has not
been announced, but as the building
near completion, plans for the dedica-
tory exercises will be made.
