Yae Goose Tower.

In tho early years of the fourteenth
century the '!free cities'-Hamburg,
Lubbock and Bremen-sent delegation
Of sevepty-seven members to King
Valdemar to demand increased rights
and privileges in their trade with Den
mark. The delegates were not very
respectful in their language and de-
meanor, and the king, who was at
yordinghorg, told them they acted like
drove Of geese and clapped them
into prison in the tower, telling them
they would stay there until they learn
ed better manners. Over the heavy
tower door the king put up stone
with the inscription:
Sieben und siebenteg Hause:
Sieben und siebenteg Ganse;
Ware NIGHT so viele Hause
Hat ich auch NIGHT so viele Ganse.
Translated this reads: Seventy
seven houses and seventy-seven geese.
If there were not so many houses l
would not have so many geese"
On top of the tower, which still
stands solid and strong, was placed a
big gilt goose, with neck outstretched
as if it were kissing.

The Jerboa and the Melons.


An odd fact relative to little. Afri-
can melon is thus related by an off,
cial Of Khartum:
The jerboa or kangaroo rat is found
in considerable numbers in places miles
and miles away from any water or
even dew, and l was at loss to un-
derstand how these little animals could
exist through the ten months OF
drought. 1t appears, however, that
after the scanty rains small wild
melon Of bitter taste, but full Of juice,
fourishes in the desert. The jerboa,
as soon as the melon is ripe, bites OF
the stem and proceeds to dig away
the sand under the melon, so that 1t
gradually sinks below the level of the
ground. The constant wind soon COW
ers it with six to eight inches of sand,
which protects it from the scorchfng
sun and from drying up. When all
other moisture has evaporated the jer-
boa goes to his larder and drinks the
Juice Of the melon till the rains come
on again. One jerboa will bury as
many as forty Of these little melons
to last him through the dry season.

Tho Word "Gaiters."

Episcopal CATERS cannot date from
very remote antiquity. The very word
"gaiters" is almost newcomer to the
language. Johnson's Dictionary does
not recognize its existence. 1t does not
occur before 1760, and even in 1902
military dictionary had to define it as
ga sort of spatterdashes-" "Guetre,"
however, the French original, goes
back at least to the fifteenth century,
and the origin Of that is lost, though
etymologists compare all sorts Of
words in all sorts of languages, includ-
ing an old German word for a baby's
christening cloth. The one certainty Is
that CATERS has nothing to do with
gait in spite of the punning line in the
Rejected Addresses"-"Lax in their
CATERS, laxer in their gait-"-London
