An agent of the American LaFrance Chemical Engine Company has been in town, and made proposition to the citi' zaDs interested in the fire department, to send an engine here for experimental tests, with the understanding that there shall be no obligation to purchase. It is probable that an agreement will be made with the concern. with such denonstra- tion in view. There are many citizens who believe the acquisition of cheml- cal engine would be favored by those liv- ing outside the fire district who might not favor the adoption of the hydrant system that could benefit only those near the center of the village.

The shsphsrd and His EIook.

A certain good bishop was in Italy for his health, and while walking in the country one day he met a small girl who was tending some pigs. The animals were giving her a great deal of trouble, and the good bishop offered to stay and watch the ones that were grunting and roofing in a ditch while the little shepherdess went to catch two runaways that had strayed from the fold. When she came back the reverend gentleman stroked the un- kempt curly head of the child and ask ed her how much she earned by her hard work and was told that she re- ceived soldl a day.
 "Do you know" said he, "that I, too, am a shepherd? But I earn much more than you"
 "Ah yes," answered the little peas ant, but no doubt you tend many more pigs than I do."

Tsar and Czar.

Frequently the inquiry Is made as to why the spelling tsar. to designate the emperor of all the Russias, should be preferred to czar. The most nat ural and obvious answer is that the spelling indicates the Russian pronun- citation of the word. which czar does not. The title comes from an old Slavonic word. which some authorities are agreed is not derived from the Latin caesar. but there are authori- ties who hold that its ultimate deriva- ton is from the Roman. The origin of the common spelling is supposed to be the writings of Herberstein, about 1850. The letter ''c" in Roman Slavonic has the sound of "ts." The letter was copied, but the sound was not. The letter ''z" never belonged in the word. The spelling czar is now regarded by many as old fashioned With some Germans the spelling is gar, which is pronounced tsar. Many of the French have adopted tsar as the spelling. and that form is increas- ing in English. The London Times, a most careful authority, employs it, and so does the Encyclopedia Britannica in its supplementary volumes.-Chica- go Record Herald.

ImpaIina the Wild Boar.

In Germany the boar hunt occurs an- nually. Trained hounds are held in leash until the lair of the boars is sniff ed. and then they are let go. Off rush the bristling beasts. They run fast, and the faster they skip along the wild CT and "madder" they get, Sometimes they are shot, but the correct style of killing is to use d long spear or short swordlike knife. The hunter spies his boarship speeding along in an almost straight line, blinded with rage and ferocity Bending over sideways to the earth. the sportsman thrusts his spear dull end downward in the soil and the sharp point slanting upward and turn ed directly to the boar's path. Straight on the wild hog rushes, and with all tue impetus of his long flight he plunges upon the spear point and there, impaled, dies a bloody death.

An Honor to Allison.

"Do you know" inquired Wilbur Reaser. the New York portrait painter, ''that when my painting of Senator AL lison was hung in the lobby of the senate the precedent of forty years. was brokenT'
 Surprise being expressed. Mir. Reaser explained:
 "It is a fact that since the beginning of constitutional government the sen ate had bought only nine portraits for the lobby. The first was Washington's and the eighth was Charles Summers. For almost forty years nobody was considered worthy to follow in the dis tnguished line. 1t was generally thought that no other portrait would ever be added to the group, but when Senator Allison died. after serving longer in the senate than any other man in the history of the government, the rule was broken, and his picture be- came the ninth. th."-Washington Times.

The Green ConstahIa.

A new constable on duty in a pro- vincial town handed to q sergeant a shilling which he said he had found. The man with the three stripes told him he was quite right in acting as he had done. Proceeding on his round, the sergeant met a brother sergeant and, with a grin. told him the tale of the shilling. They both agreed the new recruit was very green, and at the conclusion of their duties they went to the nearest inn. and the pos sessor of the coin called for two drinks. On receiving them he threw down the shilling to pay for them, but the land lord refused it, saying 1t was bad one. The sergeant, notoriously mean, had to supply the requisite amount out of his own pocket and also to put up with the laugh against himself. On his telling the constable his find was a bad one the man answered: "Yes. of course 1t was. Do you think I would have been silly enough to give 1t to you if it hadn't been?"-Pearson's.

AN ENTHUSIAST,
The New Webster's Dictionary.

Webster's New International Diction- arY, advertised on page of this paper, is, without doubt, the most complete book of reference on the market, the latest one out and truly a wonderful volume. To incorporate in one book of 27OO pages the full definitions of 400. 900 words and phrases, together with 5000 illustrations. is stupendous undertak- ing, the work of many years and the ex- penditure of many thousands of dollars. The publishers claim that the new book contains more information of interest to more people than any other dictionary an encyclopedia in single volume. A new and novel feature in its makeup is the divided page, the lower section con- taining obsolete words, abbreviations, foreign phrases. and words in most in- frequent use.

ALsarned Russian Baby.

William Lyon Phelps tells this story about Robert Louis Stevenson as illus trating the cosmopolitanism of Rus sian character, which Professor Phelps says is unaccountable in a measure for the international effect and influ- ence of Russian novels. Stevenson, writing from Mentone to his mother. Jan. ', 1874. said: "We have two lit tie Russian girls, with the youngest of whom, a little polyglot button of a three-year-old, had the most laugha- ble little scene at lunch tA@ly She said something in Italian which made everybody laugh very much. After some examination she announced em- phatically to the whole table in Ger man that l was a madchen. This hasty conclusion as to my sex she was led afterward to revise, but her new opinion was announced in a language quite unknown to me and probably Russian. To complete the scroll of her accomplishments she said goodby to me in very commendable English" |" Three days later Stevenson added: '"The little Russian kid is only two and a half. She speaks six lan- guages."

PecuIiaritv of Sea Otter Fur.

'This collar" said a furrier, lis sea otter skin, the costliest fur known. Silver fox. beside sea otter, is cheap. Where you would pay $1,OOO for a sil- yer fox skin you'd pay $2,OO0 for a sea otter. It is only the Russians, the worlds greatest fur lovers, who go in for this most precious of all furs. They use it exclusively for coat col lars. Why? For a strange reason, an almost incredible reason. Sea otter is the only fur on which the breath won't freeze. ."-Cincinnati Enquirer.

STUDIES SALT LAKE METHOD.
Ogden City Having Trouble Osposnq OF
Garbage Satisfactorily.

Special to The Tribune,
OGDEN. March 20.-ProbIematical in
many ways is the best method for dispos-
Ing OF the garbage OF Ogden city.
For several years garbage collected by
the city carts has been dumped in the
southwestern part OF the city. Residents
in that section have been compelled TO
bear the odor OF decayed vegetable mat
ter and have their houses surrounded
with the heavy smoke from the burning
piles for several years. They have now
united in vigorous protest 10 the city
council against the continuance OF such
a nuisance. which, they say, is a detrl-
ment to the health OF the community.
Unless some action is taken to relieve
them at once many Of the southwestern
ers have threatened 10 bring suit against
the city for damages.
Sanitary Inspector Moroni Poulter has
been sent TO Salt Lake TO investigate
the methods used In handling the garbage
of the capital ci' and will submit rec
concentrations TO the city council at its
next meeting.
