A State OrnithoIogist.

The selection of C. ID. Howe, of Es-
sex Junction, to be state ornithologist
is we'll made, for there are few persons
in Vermont who are so we'll fitted by
natural inclination aud years of study
as Mr., Howe is. He is graduate-of
the University of Vermont and has long
been engaged in the teaching profession,
during which time he has kept up h
more or less intimate association with
bird lore and other studies of nature.
Those people OF Vermont who come in
contact with the new ornithologist will
find him an accomplished and affable
gentleman. 1t might be mentioned
that his twin brother holds professor
ship of forestry in a Canadian Univer-
sity, while an older brother has very
important position in nature courses in
Columbia university.
The position of state ornithologist ia
an Office of recent growth, it having
been created by act of the last Legisla.
ture, by which the appointment to the
Office is made by the state commissioner
of agriculture to be held at the, latter
will and with no salary. The chief ma
terial value OF the department may
come in the dissemination of bird
knowledge for the protection of crops,
but the less material benefit of foster.
ing interest in the study of birds TO
itself will be counted as rather import
ant also. State Ornithologist How

The second annual catalog of the
Agricultural and Industrial Department
of Lyndon Institute has just been issued
aud reviews in thorough manner the
work accomplished during the past year.
This department is conducted along the
lines of what many people interested in
educational matters in Vermont con-
slider the proper training for Vermont's
Young men and at the same time offers
to such young men who cannot afford
the expense of an agricultural college
education an opportunity to get practi.
cal experience combined with thorough
instruction, the aim being not to edu'
cate for college but to furnish liut
of training that will be of immedist,
use in farming and its allied industries
carpentry, masonry and such work, pre-
pairing the student not Gully to do faru
work inteIligently but to do for them
selves and to assist their neighbors il
all other work in connection with thu
farm, thus rendering them Independent

The Name Tibet.

Many forms of the name Tibet
sprang from the Chinese T'ubar fifth
century, through the variations Of
Tuebet. Toboet, Thibet ,ll6s,. Tebet
t129sl. to Tibet N730i. The origin OF
the name has been variously account
ed for. but the weight Of historical ev-
idence indicates that the word Ia de-
rived from Tubat. famous family
name proper to several ancient Tartar
dynasties. extensively used in the
sense of "chIef." Hodgson asserts
that before the arrival Of Indian teach
ers the people had no name for them
selves or their land. and. though the
present name is not. as some say. un-
known In the country itself. the mod
ern Tibetans call themselves Bod pa
and their land Rod yui. Bod being a
Buddhist appellative suggested by the
Sanskrit bot. or bat. so working back
to the Tartar name.-London Specta'

A Highly Pleased Audience Present

two comedies In miniature present.
ed by the Department OF Eloeution

II was perhaps the largest crowd
that has been present at any func-
ton at the College this year and
1t was one of the very best pleased
audiences with the work witnessed.
Anything in the way of play with
the Miss Blount trademark on II
will be greeted with delight at any
time in Fredericksburg, and Thurs
day night the interest In amateur
was very justifiably heightened
The first play was THE Klepto-

advanced class in elocution. COM

Perry. Everyone OF the caste car
ried her role In mastery fashion
and reflected great credit upon the
director of the department IL would
be a very difficult matter to select
those whose work was very superior
to the rest of the caste. but the
part of Miss Freda Dixon carried by
Miss Lucille Hassoll was presented
with a display of artistic talent
amounting to genius. This sketch
lasting about As minutes was re-
ceiyed with round after round of
applause, showing an appreciative
and delighted audience
The second presentation was The
Lion and the Lady" in which the
part Of the high-class dramatist
was taken by Mr. Charles Hassell,
with Miss Blount herself doing dou-
BILE duty as the serving maid. Peggy,
and lady of quality. Lady Margaret
Vaudeville II was a clever, charm
ing production. in which both Miss
Blount and Mr. Hassell won the
unstinted admiration and praise OF
the audience.
The work OF the entire evening
was a genuine treat and TOO much
cannot be said in praise Of those
taking part in both comedies In
miniature.
