Moroccan Red Tape.

Official correspondence in Morocco is couched in very fowery and Ham, boyant style. It is interspersed with variety of meaningless adulatory phrases that tend to confound the real meaning of the epistle. For example, an order to the minister of finance to contract loan begins thus:
 Tn our present letter God increase his power and make the glorious sun and his moon glitter in the Armament of his felicity we have authorized our incorruptible servant (here follows name) to contract in the name and on the behoof of the treasury (heaven fill it) a loan of -" etc.
 Considering that the 'incorruptible servant" is filching as much as he pos. sible can from the treasury it is cer- tainly necessary to pray that "heaven i'll it."-London Graphic.

Strikinq a Comet.

If we ask the effect of comets striking the earth we will readily see that if the head of the comet were com posed of powders a collision would have disastrous consequences. A rain of millions of great meteoric stones would. of course, bring catastrophe. If, however, it were merely rain of small particles or dust we might never become conscious of it, for the parti- cles would never reach us. They would be fused into gas through friction with our atmosphere many miles before reaching the surface. If the gases lib- erated by friction were in excessive volume we might suffer discomfort or even disaster. It is estimated that hundreds of millions of meteoric parti. cles strike our atmosphere every day. This would be serious matter if we were not protected by our great shell tering envelope of air. Occasionally a meteoric powder is large enough to resist the heat generated by this fric- tion and reaches the surface. This we call a meteorite. The now established connection between comets and me- teors is matter of great interest," Ralph B. Larkin in North American Review.

Tho Great Vidocu.

Vidocq, the great French detective, was born in Aras in 1775. He began life as baker and early became the terror of his companions by his athletic frame and violent disposition. At the same time he was notorious thief, and after many disgraceful adventures he enlisted in the army. In 1796 he re. turned to Paris with some money, which. however. he soon squandered
 Next he was sentenced at Lille rp eight years hard labor for forgery, bat re. peatedly escaped, and in 1908 he be. came connected with the Paris police as a detective, His previous career enabled h. .d render important serv. ices. and lie, vas appointed chief of the safety brig;s.v. chiefly composed of re- prieved convicts, which purged Paris of the many dangerous classes. Ir 1918 he received a full l}ar.on, and his connection with this service lasted un- til about 1928. when he settled at St. Mande as a paper manufacturer Soon after the revolution of 1880 he became a political detective, but with little success. In 1S4S he was again en-
 ployed under the republican govern. uent, but he died penniless in 1S57

The Donkey on the Staoa.

''1t'e curious" said q theatrical man. ager who had experienced many ups and downs. how the stage develops jealousies. once had Il show on the road in which 1t was necessary to make use of horse and a donkey We got the animals well trained for their parts. and on the opening night they gave first class performance On the following night however. we were unable to get the donkey to move out of the wings. Prince, the horse, went on without any trouble whatever, but Jack-that was the name of the dOnkey-could neither be coaxed nor driven out before the footlights We finally had to go on with the perform ance with the donkey left out. After the show was over we got together and tried to find out what had been the matter Nobody could offer an ex- planation until one of the stage hands happened to pick up program. which showed that Princes name was print ed in the same kind Of type we used for Jack. We got a new lot of pro grams the next day with the donkey's name printed in type which was near ly twice as big as that which we used for the horse. After that we never had the slightest trouble e"-Chicego Record-Herad.

Churchgoers who follow the service in their prayer books would certainly miss the "dear old phrase" concerning squires and places where they sing," and in time the old fashioned "quires" may be made new fashioned again by the coming of rationalized spelling. "Choir" was a most unnecessary out rage upon the language. The old Eng fish "quer" or "quere" became quite naturally "quyer" or "quire," and so 1t remained until the end of the seven teenth century, when somebody seems to have introduced "choir" bcause it looked more like the French "choeur, 9 as if that were valid reason. There could have been no danger of confus- ing a church "quire" and "quire" of paper, which is a different word, the French "cahier." probably from Latin "quaternarium." collection of four leaves.-London Standard.

Locked Shah In House of Commons.

Locked Shah In House of Commons.
 A shah of Persia, who made state visit to England in 1873, had curi- ous experience in the distinguished strangers gallery of the house of com- mons. He soon got tired of watching the legislators at work, but when he made move to go he was told he could not leave the gallery. It hap pened at that moment that a division was called, and in accordance with the practice which then prevailed all the doors of the house were locked uatil the vote was taken. Mir Gladstone made an interesting comment on the incident. Ut is," he wrote in his jour nal. "probably, or possibly, the first time for more than 800 years that 8 foreign sovereign has been under per sonal restraint of any kind in Eng d."-Westminster Gazette.

Cockades and auttons.

The cockade originated simply in tho knot or ribbons or strings by which the broad flaps of the seventeenth cen. tury round hat were cooked" or drawn up to tie brim in fine weather. and thus originated the three cornered nat as well as the cooked hat of later times. There was nothing specially military about the usage, as the ig. norant assert. The same strings sur. vive in the loops of the hats of bishops and other ecclesiastical dignitaries in Great Britain, in the strings of the hats worn by French cures and Span ish and Italian padres and in the cords which are still seen on the hats of some livery servants.
 It naturally became the custom for military men to "cock" their hats with the livery color of the prince they served. and as the Hanoverian color was the convenient one of black the "black cockade" became associated in the minds of the people with military uniform. In an old Scotch song of Shirramuir, citing "Woodword's Her. aldry," we read of "the red coat lads with black cockades," and a knot of white ribbons was naturally chosen as the badge of their opponents. When the old use of the strings was forgot ten the knot, in the form of rosette of ribbon, survived, just as did the buttons on the backs of our coats, which were intended to fasten back the flaps in riding or marching.-"Jus- tice of the Peace.''

MORE STOCK WILL CRAZE.
Government Increases Number Al
lowed in National Forests.

Washington, Mar. 2.-The amount
of stock which will be authorized to
Craze in the national forests in 1910,
in accordance with the decision of the
secretary of agriculture, shows an in
crease in the total number as COM
pared with last year of approximately
200, 900 cattle and horses, and 500, 600
sheep and goats. The total allowance
for the coming grazing season is l.
957, 900 cattle and horses, and $685.
900 sheep and goats.
The most important increase are in
Nevada, Colorado, Montana, Utah and
Washington. Except in Nevada,
where /, 900, 900 acres have been added
to the national forest area through the
creation of the Nevada forest, the in
creases are attributed to improved
range condition due to regulated graz
ing.
The secretary is solicitous to get
the greatest possible utilization of the
range resources Of the national for
ests, that the forests may contribute
so far as consistent with protection of
the forest growth, to the market sup
ply of beef and mutton.

packed by the weight Of the animal,
the wheat had grown strong and tall.
AS a result of this observation South
Dakota now harvests one Of the larg-

union, and is filled with prosperous
farmers, while the erstwhile discour-
aged farmer himself, H. w. Campbell,

an average of sixty bushels an acre,
