FIaminqoes.

A writer on fiamingoes, which he
has studied In their haunts in the Ba-
hamas, says of them: 'They are prob
ably as near to the geese as to any
other order Of birds, having similar
structure Of bill and feet and some
what similar feather character. They
are unique, however, in their curiously
bent bill, which, though gooselike in
general economy, is constructed in
every detail upside down, as the bird
in feeding reaches down to the bottom
and places the top Of the bill down.
The tongue is also constructed in the
same inverted way. The webbed feet
are for sustaining the birds in the soft
ooze they love to feed in, acting like
SnowshOes."

Scandinavians.

The term "Scandinavians" is not
confined to the Norwegians. The Nor
wegians are indeed Scandinavians, but
so also are the Swedes, Danes and Ice
landers. For that matter, the Ger
mans, English and Americans Of Eng
fish stock are also of the Scandinavian
stock, since it is more than probable
that Germany was originally stocked
from the land Of the mortimer, and il
is from the North German stock that
the so called "Anglo-Saxon" comes.
The northman has written his name
large In history, and his breed Is today
ruling the world and will continue to
rule it, in all likelihood, to the end Of
time. There is no other blood so virile
and powerful-New York American.

There's a mystery in New York's

A Curious legend,

There is curious legend in regard to
Deadman's place, Southwark, London.
An ingenious old writer says that the
name originated as follows: "In Dead
mans place, at st. MaryOverus, man
servant being buried at seven Of the
clocke in the morning, and the grave
standing open for more dead Commodi-
ties, at foure of the clocke in the same
evening he was got up alive againe by
a strange miracle, which, to be true
and certaine, hundreds Of people can
testif1e that save him acte like coun-
try Ghoste in his white peackled
sheete." However, more exact his,
torian explained that the name was
merely corruption Of Desmond's

Quoting Mr.. Dunn, indirect. taxation
Is the worst form Of raising state
revenue and he points cut that the
taxpayers will soon come to a rsaliza.
ten Of the fact He says It only en-.
courages extravaganoe 1t is direct
taxation that keeps the expenses
down. Just now the state is facing a
heavy deficit in its revenue fund, due
to over anticipation of the states reve.
nues, and Mr.. Dunn's remarks are in
answer to that condition. The tax
rate is now the highest in some years
and there is every reason to believe
that 1t will be substantially increased
next year.
