TheAAnolo.Saxons.

The Anglew and saxons were the chief tribess samong the three principal Teutonic conquerors of Britain; the Jutes were the third. They were Low Dutch tribes from the borderlands of Germany and Scandinavia, the lands at the mouth of the Elbe and the Weser. Their language was an irde- pendent branch of the Teutonic fam fly. The Saxons were the first inva- ders, but the Angles settled more land. As their settlement became old CT and they themselves permanent res. idents of the island they called them. selves English" but their Celtic neighbors called them Saxons Their language was, of course, established in England at the time of the Norman conquest in 1066, when Norman-French woyds and phrases of Latin origin be- came fused with the language of the people. The short and homely words of Anglo-Saxon origin remain, of course. as an integral and basic part of the English language. simpler, bet ter known less pretentious, and pref erable in conversation to the words of Latin derivation.

"No Congratulations"

When Otto Edward Leopold von Bismarck Schoenhausen was born the embarrassed parents wrote to their friends: Kindly dispense with con- gratulations" Why? The event hap pened in Germany, where All Fools day was stil, significant. But Bis. marck was born to take the sting out of Der Tag. On one thing, however, he remained fool nearly his whole life long-his idolatry of beer. His reply to those opposed to him in this mat ter would probably have been to pro- duce huge silver jug and fill it with Bavarian beer. "That is the head" he would say, ''of Field Marshal Derf- finger, conqueror of the Swedes, and one of my ancestors" This Derfilinger. when boy, was apprenticed to 8 tailcl. His master sent him for jug of beer. On his way back he drank up the beer, and in terror en- listed-"with much advantage to the Fatherland,' as Bismarck pointed out. But, beer proved Bismarck's un- doing, and he had to abandon the hab. 1t by medical advice.

Ar Scouts' Phonouraph9.

When the military aeroplane Is scouting. 1t usually carries two men, Ore is the pilot. who runs and steers the craft; the other Is the observer, who marks the placing of the hostile troops, the position of their guns, the movement of trains, and the like. The observer also makes many sketches cf the ground over which he is flying work that often interferes with his writing notes and memoranda. In certain conditions of flight, too, 1t Is often hard for him to use pencil and paper To obviate that difficulty the military aeroplane now frequently carries phonograph. with speaking tube running to the mouth of the ob' server, so that by talking into the machine at any time during the flight he can record his observations, and still have his hands free for his field glass or bis sketching pencil.

SmaII.caIiber Martinets,

All public institutions, here assert. should have as their employees only people who are courteous, pleasant and kind. One of the greatest hard ships of poverty is to be obliged to face the autocratic martinets who seem to guard the doorways of all such organizations. There is something de- testable and offensive in the frozen, impatient and often insulting manner of the women and men who occupy lit- tie positions of authority like this, and before whom poor working girls-and, suppose, men-must always go.- From Me. a Book of Remembrance" in the Century Magazine.

MakinQ Things Even.

It would be difficult to find region where the ups and downs of fortune have been so sudden and extreme as in California. In its early days, be- fore its production of grain was equal to the demand, wages of farm hands were high, but as production increased the prices lowered faster than the rate of wages. A farmer employed an in- dustrious Irishman for five years, at the rate of fifty dollars a month "and found"-board, lodging, washing, and mending At the end Of the term he said to his man: 'I can't afford to pay you the wages I have been paying. You have saved money, and l have saved nothing. At this rate you will soon own my farm Then I'll hire you to work for me-" said the other. and you can get your farm back again"

Defects in Eyes.

One of the marvellous gifts of the eye is the distinguishing of colors, and here most eyes gre more or less de- fective. Many eyes otherwise effec- tive strangely do not convey to the brain from the retina by way of the optic nerve the reflected rays of light that make for either of the primary colors-red, blue and green-not to speak of the innumerable intermedi- ates, all due to the absorption, refiec- ton and transmission of rays of light of varying wave lengths. It might be said that we do not see objects at all, but only the myriad wavelets of ;uminiferous ether that are reflected from them.
