The Title "Esuuire /"

What gives a man the right to be
termed "esquire?" The title comes
from the French "ecuyer," "shield
bearer" but has, Of course, long since
lost all military significance. Accord
ing to usage it was, however, strictly
applicable only to the younger sons of
the nobility, to officers of the kings
household, to counselors Of law, jus
tices Of the peace, sheriffs, holders of
commissions in navy or army, and
graduates Of the universities, though
by courtesy it is given to solicitors,
bankers, the landed gentry and gentle
men "of Independent means."-New

One of the melancholy by-products
Of war is the diminished valuation of
human life to which it leads. We are
so sated with the horrors Of the whole

a ripple of comment, where, years

Insect Activity.

The insect world represents an un-
limited field of life and activity. The
number of insect species is greater by
far than of the species of all other liv-
ing creatures combined. Although
more than 100000 have been described,
probably twice that number remain
to be examined. Virtually all living
animals, as well as most plants, supply
food for these incompatible hordes.--
