Cromwell and FooIscap.

The triumph of Cromwell! What is foolscap? Everybody the world over recognizes that paper foolscap size means standard measurement of thirteen inches by sixteen, yet how few can give the reason why. In England the paper mark was originally d crown, and when the commonwealth was set up Cromwell was approached as to what mark should be used in the future. He, with characteristic contempt for crowns, replied, "A fools cap," and so it became and remained, for at the restoration the matter was over looked until too late to act upon the ultimate discovery.-London Chron- icle,

For three months of the year the town of Gartok in Tibet is situated at the place where it is designated on the map. During the other nine months it is not there at all, but is about forty miles farther south, at d much lower altitude. Climatic conditions are the cause of this mi gratory habit. When the heat grows too intense for~comfort the whole town packs up and, driving the herds of walks, sheep and goats, moves up to the higher altitude, and the traders from India at once be- gin to drift in.-Argonaut.

AN UNEXPECTED GIFT.
How a Famous Arabian War Horss
 Cams to Change Owners.

Game to Change OWners. Mir. Homer Davenport, when in Aleppo, called to pay his respects to Akmct Haffez, the ruling prince of all the desert. He had always great admiration for Arab horses and has told in his book, "My Quest of the Arab Horsc," how this call on the Bedouin prince led to his possessing one.
 "Ameene, our interpreter, spoke and told him why our sudden call was made. The dignified old gen. tleman then learned that we were the people who had been in Antioch three nights before.
 'Thcse, then,' he asked, 'are the people, one of whom has an trade from the sultan of Turkey, and letters from the one great sheik of all the Amcric tribcs:?'
 "'Ycs,' he was told.
 "The old mans eyes filled with itears as he looked at me, and his slaves and secretaries grew more interested, when, turning toward Amcene, he said:
 ""Then you have called on me be- fore calling on the governor of Alep- DO and Syria. No such honor was ever paid to d Bedouin before, and Tiff 1 should live to be d hundred years old my smallest slave would honor me more for this visit
 1t was difficult to find exactly the right thing to say through an interpreter, but this fine old Bedo- uin was equal to the occasion. Re pressing his emotion, he said, with a deprecating smile:
 "sBut, after all, you have not come here to sec men. Better than that, you have come to see horses. land I should be selfish if kept you longer from seeing the greatest mare of our country, the war mare of the great Hashem Bey.'
 "As 1 advanced to take his hand he gracefully waved me back. All this time the old sheik was talking in an emotional voice to the inter- prcter. 1 looked upon Amecne tc explain. saw the interpreters face grow full of astonishment, and turning to me, he said:
 "'IIc wants you to take his hand but not unless you can accept the great war mare as his present tf you, with the Bedouin boy that now holds her. Her name is to remain the same Wadduda. He hopes that when you speak the name it will bear living witness of his love to you and that the gift and its accept ance will be the forming of a friend ship, and later of brotherhood l that will never cnd.'
 ''I was so much concerned at thi: that I asked Amccne if 1 could ac cept such a present. The intcrpretc told me that in ordinary circum stances I could not, but under these conditions l would insult Akmet if did not comply with his wish. So accepted the mare and the hand O brotherhood. and the old Bcdouil ruler seemed very happy"

0EFlNlNo7 A NEWSPAPER.
It ones Put tho EneIlsh Government In q Ludiorous Position.

soSsSs SSS SSss'O''s
 For legal purposes Il newspaper is described as Il sheet of paper, printed ut short, regular intervals, for conveying intelligence of passing events. When the Crimean war broke out, however, newspapers in England were luxury for the we'll to do. The stamp duty on newspa- pers was still in force. It had risen from halfpcnny, imposed in l712, to fourpence hundred years later, bringing up the price of newspapers to sevenpence each-a condition of things which lasted till 1886, when the duty was reduced from four pence to d penny, to be finally abol- ished in 1855, as a result of the his- toric campaign.
 It happened in this wise. During the Crimean war poor people in this country were naturally anxious to know how their relatives were far ing at the front, and the only means by which they could gather such news was through the newspapers, which the majority of them could not afford to buy. The consequence was that the agitation which had been going on for some time to re- peal the stamp duty was renewed with great vigor in the house of commons. The government was asked to state definitely what actu' ally constituted newspaper, and why news should be taxed.
 At first the government was somewhat nonplussed. Then the solicitor for the board of inland revenue suggested that if they could not define exactly what newspaper was, they could at any rate say what it was not. And thus it came about that statement was made in the commons to the effect that newspaper is not publication treating only of one subject"
 As at that time there was only one subject in which the majority of people were interested-namely the war-the consequence was that directly this definition was ofllciall, pronounced out came host of un' stamped publications giving full de, tails from the seat of war, but talk ing good care to ''treat of one sub' ject only" There were Holt's Army and Navy Dispatch, Strange's Army and Navy Dispatch, the War Times the War Telegraph, the War Ely Sheet, and so on-selling merrily and contributing not one farthns to the revenue.
 The position was somewhat ridiculous one, for the government by it's definition of newspaper had really given permission for the publication of various Newspapers, which were printed and sold at ; great profit. and actually protected them against other papers whicl were contributing largely to tho revenue, simply because the latter contained other news besides thai concerning the War. And it was this untcnahle position of the govern ment which led to the abolition o1 the stamp dutv.-Pearson $ Weekly
