175,OOO TROOPS LOS T

LONDON. Jan. II.
According to dispatches from Berlin,
captured Russian officers declare that the
Russian Emperor visited Trembowla,
Galicia, on the eve of the offensive with
the object of giving heart to his troops,
and delivered an order to break the Aus
trian line at all cost. The officers were
assured that there were sufficient troops
to accomplish this.
The main attack thus far has been di-
rected against a hill named Fort Baltin
in honor of General Pfanzer-Baltin
which the Emperor personally ordered
taken. AS a result literally thousands
of Russian dead lie before the Austrian
trenches or hang suspended on the wire
entanglements. Entire regiments were
wiped out, while the Austrian losses are
declared to have been comparatively
small.
The Russian artillery ammunition and
the rifles of captives were almost eXclu-

Tho embargo on the railroad lines

Bituminous coal men are all at sea and

Teaching Tricks to Birds.

A professor of natural history re-
flutes the statement so frequently made
that teaching bird to draw water
needs apparatus, and that the learning
Is cruelty to the bird.
1.-THE following experiences of mine"
he says, according to London Tit-Bits,
'proves that 1t is not SO by any means.
We bought a young bird last January,
so wild that on our approach it flew
madly round the cage. We hung the
cage low, and by patience, after the
bird got used to our proximity, induced
it to take groundsel, first held at
stems length, then between the fingers,
finally from the lips. We used to let
him out freely, and he would perch on
the loaf next me at breakfast. His
perch projected through the wires, and
here was his fayorite seat when at lib
erty. Then tried hanging a bit OF
groundsel by a short string to the pro-
jecting stick. After inspection he
pulled it up with his beak. On length
ening the string with fresh bit of his
preferred weed I had the pleasure and
interest of seeing him pull up the
string with his beak till the flower head
was within reach, catching the slack
after each pull with one foot and then
transferring it to the other, so that the
coils were quite neat"

The fact Is not generally known
that Ireland was the first country In
modern Europe to enforce the adop-
tlon of surnames by law. The act
prescribing their general use was
passed more than 100 years before the
Anglo Norman invasion, whereas sur
names did not come into general use
In England until the days of Queen
Elizabeth, nor In Wales till late In the
seventeenth century.
There are some interesting mean
lngs attaching to the most well-known
Irish names. Here are a few, with
the curious changes OF spelling that
have come about since the names first
originated:
Murphy came from o'Murphy, Nor
phey, and Morphew, meaning superb
or"
Kelly came from o'Kelly, Kieiy,
Kelley, meaning "for war"
O'connors is derived from Connors,
conerty, meaning "helper."
Dougherty from ODoherty, Doherty,
Daughaday, meaning destroyer"
All Irish names ut the first stage In
their history had 90" before them, the
first change consisting of dropping
that "O'." IL will not be necessary,
therefore to repeat the name with the
"O'" before IL.
Sullivan was originally Sullifant and
SulIlvant, meaning "quick-sighted."
O'Donneli and Mcdonnell and all
combinations OF that name were Dom
aid, Daniel. Dona, meaning dark
chief"
Moioney was O'Mullowney, Meloney,
Mullany, meaning "thoughtful."
Mccormack was O'Cormac, McCor-
mac, Mccormick, meaning "son of the
crown"
Flynn was Flann, meaning red
Flanagan was Finnegan, meaning
Druid"

-It-is only by speaking loosely that
the shippers Of several incoming ships
