oriain Of "Canard.r

The French name for a duck Ia
fanard and French journal recalls
the etymology of "canard' iD the
peJorative journalistic sense. A Paris
reporter once upon time In the bot
weather could find no news and he
fell back upon his imagination. He
published an account of remarkable
experiment conducted in farmyard.
A farmer took twelve ducklings,
chopped one up fine and gave it 70
the eleven others to eat. A second
was chopped and the remaining ten
gobbled him up. For eight more days
one duckling was served mp to the
others. At last. when only two were
left, one of the two was given TO the
other to eat. This remarkable exDeri-
ment resulted. therefore, In the one
remaining duckling having eaten up
his eleven brothers.
The story Of the Twelve Little
Ducks" sprang at once into fame. A
'canard" In a newspaper has ever
since meant a statement nearer tic-
ton than fact.

Persia's Pine Guardian.

The queen of pipes belongs to the
shah Of Persia. Why Is the great chief
tain OF pipes queen? Probably be-
cause pipe Is feminine noun In
French. The little shah's pipe was
smoked by his father before him. and
by his uncle. and by his grandfather,
and how many more Of the rulers Of
Darius kingdom we know not. The
pipe Is adorned with all kinds of pre-
cious stones and Is said to be worth
10000. 1t is constantly guarded by
high court functionary. whose duties
allow him as much leisure as the super
intendent OF the Persian arsenal, but
as there is no arsenal in Persia SO the
extent Of the sinecure may be judged.
Still. this functionary is responsible.
This Is how his office was created:
Once grand vizier was found trying
to pry out stone from the pipe with
his ponard. Then the Office Of guard
ian Of the imperial pipe was created.
What became OF the grand vizier Is
not recorded London Globe.
