To Scotland's Poets.

n One of the finest memorials in the
world commentaries poet, the author
of "The Lady of the Lake" and Mar
Imion." This is the Scott monument,
the chief ornament of Princes street,
Edinburgh. The poet is seated under
a magnificent canopy, and by his side
is his favorite collie, Mazda. This re-
markable memorial also shows the cor
rect likeness of 16 other Scottish poets
and statuettes of 81 Of SCOTS char
acters."
Scotland has another beautiful
statue to a poet, but very few people
see this in comparison with the crowds
who view the Scott monument, for it
,stands-or, rather, sits-beside st.
Mary's Loeb in Ettrick Forest. 1t
commentaries James Hogg, who was
called "The Ettrick Shepherd" and,
as in SCOTS case, his dog, too, enjoys
@ twin immortality-thef faithful sheep
dog Lutham, which was the poets
constant companion for many years.

DREW TRIBUTE FROM TWAIN
Great Humorist, Asked for His Con-
ception of a Gentleman, Named
His Coachman.

Once, upon being asked to give his
conception of gentleman, Mark
Twain, after a moments deep thought,
paid the following tribute to one who
after many years of faithful service
had just died-the great humorist's
coachman, Patrick McAleer.
"He was never old-Patrick. He
came to us Sc years ago. He was my
coachman on the morning that drove
my young bride to our new home. He
was a young Irishman, slender, tall,
1.-THE, honest, truthful, and he never
changed in all his life. He really was
with us but 25 years, for he did not
go with us to Europe, but he never re-
garded that as separation. AS the
children grew up he was their guide.
He was all honor, honesty and affec-
ton. He was with US in New Hamp-
shire last summer, and his hair was
just as black, his eyes were just as
blue, his form just as straight and
his heart just as good as on the day
We first met. In all the long years
Patrick never made a mistake. He
never needed an order; he never re-
ceived a command. He knew. l have
been asked for my idea of an ideal
gentleman, and I give it to you-Pat'
rick McAleer."

Natural Feeling Of Enn'ity Between

OF an Observer.

-"In all my study Of literature regard

discover a satisfactory explanation Of
how that species Of canine known as
the bulldog got its name said H. B.
Halves of st. Louis, an authority on
: the dog, according to the Washington
Post. Put while in Ireland some
weeks ago l found what to me was
reasonable theory of the origin of the
term. I was in the rural districts in
specting herd of Dexter cattle, and
was invited by the owner lcol. over
q fine Dexter bull. We ..tarte6 into
the field, when l took the precaution
to ask whether the bull was vicious.
He told me that the animal was, but
that l need have no fear, because his
dog would accompany US.
"'You will OBSERVE said the man,
that the dog will watch the bull and
the bull will watch the dog
1T turned out just as my friend said.
Then he told me that on several occa-
sions this particular bull had attempt
ed to start trouble, whereupon the
bulldog would grab the animal by the
nose, clinging to him until the bull
was ready to quit. asked If all the
owners Of herds had bulldogs, and was
told they had. Then l learned that
800 or 4C0 years ago it was customary
for the people of Ireland to be enter
tanned by fights between dogs and
bulls, just as the matadors of Spain
have fought bulls.
'Then it dawned on me that the bull.
dog must have derived his name from
the fact that this particular breed in
the beginning displayed an antagonism
for bulls. 1t is easy to explain the
origin of the shepherd dog, the collie

breeds, but until my recent visit to
Ireland l had never been able to run
down the beginning Of the bulldog

glittering Cafe de Bon Bon, torn be-

Inside all was not. All was bright

There was no answer.

FEW CATANIBA INDIANS LEFT
Once Powerful Tribe Lives on miie
Square Reservation in South
Carolina.

In 1853 the Catawba Indians OF
South Carolina were confined en- a
reservation Is miles square. The In
diars soon rented their land to the
whites for a few thousand dollars
and later sold all of it, except single
square mile On which they now reside.
This small reservation is situated
about eighty miles north of CO.
lumbia. The nearest large town is
Rock Hill.
The tribe has grown so small that
its number now averages about ninty'
nine. Each year the legislature OF
South Caroline provides a sum of
money that is equally divided and
paid to every Catawba Indian residing
in that state.
The families are all large. Men
earn their living by raising cotton and
cutting and selling wood to the town
people. Most of the land is cleared,
and used for cotton and pasture land.
In 1884 Mormon missionaries came
to the Catawba reservation and con-
verted a number of Indians.
AS soon as 1t was known among
the surrounding whites that Mormon
elders were at work among the In.
dams they began to threaten them.
The threats made by the whites were
carried out, and the two elders were
put to death by a large mob.
The death Of the beloved elders only
caused the Indians to become firmer
believers in the Mormon faith. Two
or three weeks after the mobbing
two more elders appeared on the
reservation, and to this day two ED.
ers are always there-Southerp

TREES THAT ROB THE SEA
Eipa Palms and Mangroves of Sara.
wax Successfully Employed as
Land Builders.

The river banks in Sarawak Grit
ish protectorate in Borneo) are lined
with nipa palms and mangroves. AT
low tide you can see the mangroVes
standing on trestles Of black woody
roots, looking like snakes writing IN
the mud. Upon these pedestals crows
of bright green leaves, thirty to
forty feet in height, form aquatic
forests at the mouth of the rivers al!
along the coast. Each branch /:
weighed down by fruit, which, when
ripe, drops into the mud and starts
a new tree.
The nipa palm has matted roots
which easily retain the flotsam ant
jetsam carried down by the unceasin2
current of the waters, and it is az
angular fruit, which like that Of the
r,angrove, sinks into the mud, ger
inmates, and forms forests on its
own account. The incessant action
Of these encroaching trees adds con
tinually to the land. Indeed, there arc
certain aged natives who have been
heard to say that part Of the coast
near Sirik, although exposed to tbs
constant surf Of the northeast mon
soon, has encroached on the sea foI
two miles or more during their life
time.
When the land reclaimed by the
mangroves and nipa palms becomes
drier the trees die and give place tc
other tropical vegetation.-From the
Rance of Sarawak, in the Wide World

PRIZE FOR THE SCIENTIST
Discovery of Skull Thousands of
Years Old Has Stirred the Men
of knowledge.

In the Technical World magazine
we read that skull was found lately
near Los Angeles that is probably sew
eral thousand years old. There is a
bed Of pitch just outside the city
which somebody says is like 3O-acre
sheet of tangle-foot fly paper, ranging
from six inches 70 several feet in
depth Even today little wild crea-
tures-rabbits, birds or gophers-be-
come entangled in the pitch and die
there and this has been going on
thousands Of years, probably.
If bird flies down close enough to
the asphaltum to be trapped, so the
monsters of long ago were caught and
held there. The quality of the ma
terial is such that it preserves every
thing that is buried there, and skele-
tens have been found in perfect condi-
ton.
The skeleton of the saber-toothed IT,
ger with the long curved teeth that
gave it the name was found here, the
giant sloth. camel, great wolf,
small antelope nd huge bird of prey
called the teratornis. The latter was
found near the skull just discovered,
and because scientists know that the
bird became extinct many thousands
of years ago, they can judge some
thing of the age of the skull. The
skull is smaller and flatter at the back
than a mans skull of today, and the
find has excited the scientific students
of California.

French Prisoners in 1871.

Bismarck may have objected to the
taking Of prisoners, but his prejudice
obviously had no effect in the Franco
German war. According to Moltke,
who wrote the Official history of the
campaign, the French prisoners
reached the extraordinary total of 81
50s officers and 702,04S men. But of
these nearly 100000 were the Paris
garrison, who were only nominally
prisoners, and over 10000 represented
the French troops disarmed and in
termed in neutral Switzerland. Still,
with these deductions. more than $780,
0C0 officers ard men were actually i'm
psisoned in Germany and were re-
leased only when peace was declared.
