The beautiful feathers of an Alban-
ian pheasant, one of the rarest of spe-
cies in the pheasant family, will soon
decorate the hat of a fair female of
the species employed in the state land
department, says the Statesman.
There have been many amusing sto-
ries told on hunters trailing the beau
tiful members of the pheasant family,
since the season opened and closed,
but none has provoked quite so much
good humored joshing as the one pro-
duced by the land department. Will
lam Calender, an employee there, made
it known to his co-workers that he
proposed to get the limit in pheasants
the very next day, when Miss Tage
spoke up and made the request that
she be given the feathers of the bird
he bagged. The past was agreed to
and Calender shouldered his rifle and
started forth. He returned with his
prize and fulfilled the agreement by
turning the feathers over to Miss
Tage. She forthwith took them to a
local taxidermist to have them treat
ed for mounting on her hat. When
the taxidermist saw the feathers it
is said there was near hurry up call
for an undertaken. 1t was the first
Albanian pheasant feathers he had
seen for many years and he demanded
to know where the balance of the bird
was so that he could mount it. When
informed it had probably been eaten
and that the feathers had only been
saved according to the wish express
ed he recovered sufficiently to remark
that the mounted bird would have
been worth some hundreds of round
silver dollars.
How do you pronounce canton
ment?" Do you know how it is pro-
nounced by President Wilson and by
Secretary of War Baker and that they
are among the very few who pro-
nounce it correctly? Since the word
recently came into common use one
has been accustomed to hearing from
officers and privates in the army and
from persons of education in other
walks of life the pronunciation Can
tone ment," with the accent on the
second syllable and the 900" as in the
word go. That version is not support
ed by a single authority in the Eng
lish language and is not recorded by
single photographer. At the White
House it is said the erroneous form is
sometimes heard from visiting gov
eminent men, but that the pronuncia-
ton recorded as preferred" by the
latest edition of standard dictionary
n-ment"-accent on the sec
ond syllable, is more frequently
heard. President Wilson and Secre-
tary Baker pronounce the word alike,
and their pronunciation of it is re-
corded as preferred" by the Century,
Webster's, Worcesters and Fernald's
1917 revision of the Comprehensive
Standard Dictionary and as "alterna-
live" by the New Standard. They
place the accent on the first syllable
and slight the 90" in the second and
he sc" in the last syllable, thus:
