Seal Originally Used
in Lieu of Signature

The red seal used upon all legal
documents Is a survival Of the days
when people we're not blessed with
the educational advantages Of today.
The majority of the people could
neither read nor write. In those days
the seal was used instead of a sigma
ture. 1t was a disaster II the seal
were stolen, for the thief had in his
possession a perfect instrument OF
forgery. The seals belonging to a cor
poration or a company are still used
to authenticate important documents.
In this respect the seal acts as a safe
guard against forgery. In the eye Of
the law a document issued by com
pany and merely sealed, not signed,
would probably be accepted as authen-
tic. The most important seal in the
country is. Of course, the Great Seal.
1t is kept In a metal case, and the-color
Of the wax used Is always yellow. At
the death of the monarch the seal,
after being "defaced," becomes the
property Of the lord chancellor. Only
second in Importance Is the so-called
Privy Seal. No document can be sealed
with the Great Seal until it bears the
authority Of the Privy Seal.-London
Times.

Protection of Birds
of Vital importance

Birds, according to the biological
survey of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, are one of ma
lures important agencies for keeping
down the overwhelming hordes of in
sect life. Nest boxes should be put
up and shrubbery planted to make up
for the disappearance Of the hollow
trees and young wild growth In which
birds once built their nests. Water
for drinking and bathing should be
supplied in summer and shelter and
food provided In winter. Protection
Of birds from their natural and I'M
natural enemies Is not the least i'm
portant consideration. the biological
survey says.
The boy with the air rifle, the ma
tive or the foreign-born adult with his
gun, the red squirrel and other small
animals, the rainstorm and the wind
storm, and the house cat all take their
toll of wild bird life. Years ago the
depredatlons Of the cat on the birds
caused little concern, but now that
probably 25,000,000 cats blanket the
United States, people are waking up
to the increasing necessity Of protect
ing birds against them. 1t Is not
necessary that householders part with
their pets, but these potential bird
destroyers should be kept from unduly
increasing, If the effort is to be made
more effective to prevent them from
killing the song birds.

Originally, slang stood for the jar
gon deliberately adopted as a kind of
secret language by certain classes
The word, for Instance, has been
traced back to the slang" or letters
worn by convlcts, and the words
which they used to mislead their war
dens became known as slang.
Whether this is the real explanation
or not is uncertain-various other
origins Of the term have also been
suggested-but the fact remains that
slang started as secret jargon known
only to certain number of people.
Today the meaning has considerably
broadened, and we speak of slang us
all words and expressions which are
outside the official" language of our
own times.

Costly Funerals

History shows the lavish expendi-
ture of public funds when royal funer-
ais were held In European countries.
The most expensive funeral in mod
ern times was that of old Emperor
William. 1t cost the city Of Berlin
$4,000, and the imperial treasury
expended in addition, the sum Of
$550,000
The most expensive funeral in the
history Of England was given the duke
Of Wellington, the cost being one-half
million dollars, while the funeral Of
Queen Victoria cost $4,000 and that
of King Edward cost England 5000, 900.
In comparison with these heavy costs
the recent funeral for President Ebert
Of Germany gives a picture Of thrift,
the total cost being slightly less than
