Oriain of "Plaaiarist."

One who appropriates-that is, steals
the literary work of another to use
it as his own thought, the child of
his own brain, is guilty of plagia-
rism. as everybody knows. yet few are
acquainted with the derivation of the
word or know that the plagiarist is lit
orally a child stealer Among a GER
tain class Of criminals in Rome in the
time of the earlier Caesars, there ex-
listed the damnable custom of stealing
children and selling them as slaves.
According to Roman law, the child
stealers, when detected. received as a
part of the penalty for their crime, a
severe fiogging. AS the Latin word
playa signifies a stripe or lash, the
ancient kidnapers were termed ''pla-
giari''-that lis. deserving Of stripes.
SO both the crime and the criminals re-
ceived their names from the castiga-

The Coup de Monserrat.

The history of the sword stroke the
Partisan fencers call the coup de

the story was a young Partisan mu-
stefan engaged to be married to a
young lady of Bordeaux. Quarreling
with a cousin of his fiancee, he got
his ears boxed at the Bordeaux club.
Ignorant of fencing. he dared not re-
sent the insult and renowned his en-
gagement But he also took fencing
lessons from one Monserrat, maitre
d'armes of Toulouse. Monserrat taught
him one trick only, ana he practiced
it for a year. At the end of that time
he returned to the Bordeaux eli ,.
slapped his mans face and, being CO p
ed out, instantly ran his opponent
through the body with his cunning
lunge.

"Railwaxs" and Railroads"

We are all speaking of railways
now instead of railroads" as they do
in America Both words seem to be
of about equal age in this country.
Goblet in 1882 wrote of railways
with the hyphen. Scott in 1881 of rail
roads, But already in 1888 an en-
gineering journal declared that rail
way by this time seemed to be gen
orally adopted as the popular form.
though nearly twenty years later Rus
kin still talked of railroads" 1t is
curious that America has preserved
the word which remembers the de-
scent of the railway from the old road.
while Americans speak of engineers
and conductors where we say "driv-
ers" and guards" perpetuating the
old coaching words.-London Specta-
tor.

4 ourlex Church.

Old Heidelberg is justly celebrated
for its castle. for the great tun there
in which holds $4,000 bottles Of wine
and was actually filed on three oc-
casions, and for the ancient university
with one professor for each seven stu
dents: but perhaps the most interest
ing thing in the old city from one
point of view is the Church Of the
Holy Ghost.
This church is one of the most an
cient buildings in the town. Long ago
a partition wall was run through the
center, and services are held stimuli
taneously according to the Roman
Catholic and the Protestant rituals.
In the year 1871 the Elector. Charles
Philip, attempted to stop the dual serv-
ices, but this so offended the Heidel-
bergers that he was compelled not
only to desist in this effort, but to
remove the electoral court to Mann
heim.-Harper's.

LA CROSSE-Malntaining that the
law passed at the last session of the
legislature, compelling physical con-
nection Of telephone lines, is unconsti-
tutional and that the railroad commis-
sion of Wisconsin has no right to en-
force the measure, the Wisconsin Tel
ephone company, this states branch
of the alleged Bell Telephone trust,
has petitioned the commission for a
dismissal of the petition of Frank Win
ter, of La Crosse, for an order direct
ing physical connection between the
lines of the Wisconsin and La Crosse
Telephone companies. AS grounds for
its assertion as to the constitutiOnality
of the law, the company claims that
its enforcement would interrupt and in
