Armenians. Circassians and other tribes that dwell in the same country. It is the tribe of the Ossetinlans. Like the rest of the Caucasus tribes, j they have recognized Russia's authority. But they adhere to the claim that they are not descended from Asiatic . races, like the other tribes, but that their ancestors were German knights • who had gone to the crusades and who, ' after the disastrous end of the last crusade, had been driven into the wild i valleys of the Caucasus, whence it was impossible for them to win their way out and homeward owing to the vigilance of the Moslem foe. So at last they settled down and took wives among the Caucasus mountain women, who have always been noted for their beauty. It is a strange fact chat the Ossetinians understand the science of brewing malt liquors, and they are the only i ones who drink beer, the other tribes preferring Asiatic liquors. THE WORD LIVERY. It Originally Meant Something Delivered or Freely Given. Our word livery is derived, through ' the French, from the Latin liberare, to : deliver. Hence a livery originally. I meant something delivered or freely I given, and came to be applied to an allowance of food or clothes. From Norman times an English nobleman allotted a fixed “livery’’ of, bread, wine and candles to his servants for their private use. A remnant of this system stili survives at Oxford and Cambridge, where the fellows of a j college are entitled to a daily allow- . ance of food called “commons.” An allowance of provender for a horse was also called a livery, and a I horse fed and groomed for its owner at a fixed charge was said to be “at i livery.” In the middle ages “livery" was worn by any one who was in any sense in the service of another of superior rank or station. The trading companies of the city of London used to provide a special attire for their freemen, who became known as liverymen, a title which they still retain. CIRCULATING LIBRARIES, They Were Started by the Stationers of the Middle Ages, The earliest form of circulating library was the lending out of books for hire by stationers of the middle ages, but this was of very limited extent. In the reign of Henry IV, Richard of Bury, bishop of Durham, left his valuable library for the use of Oxford students. Two provisions are very practical, one being that no book was to go into circulation unless there was a duplicate; the other, that the borrower had to deposit security exceeding the value of the book. Dunfermline, Scotland, established the first proper library of this descrip-1 tlon in 1711, Edinburgh following in i 1725 with one founded by Allen Ram- j say. The first public one in England was established in Salisbury by a I clergyman, Fancourt, in 1740. This failed to survive, but others in Bath, and at London in the Strand, succeeded in becoming popular. Many London • scientific societies established circulat- . ing libraries in the eighteenth century, and in the nineteenth they became far i more widely spread.—London Globe. Am ICxample.

DUELING IN GERMANY. It la a C.Ftom Firmly EatabHahek An-.unu the Studeuta. > T n every German university there is Si.il dueling, and there will be as long 1 as German universities exist Each has its quota of fighting clubs, which correspond to our own secret societies, j Every student is anxious to be invited to join one of these clubs, and. having been initiated, it is not long before he ! <s assigned to a duel. The members of these various organizations are distinguished by their colored bauds and ! caps, as our fraternity men are by their Greek letter badges. The most aristocratic of the fighting corps are the Borussia at Bonn, to which all the Hohenzollern princes >long, and the Saxo-Borussia at Heidelberg, of which most of the German princes outside of the Hohenzollerns are members. Other prominent fighting corps are the Rhe nania of the University of Wurtzburg, Normania of Berlin, Franconia of Munich and the famous corps of Hannovera, In which Bismarck was a famous fighter, of Gottingen. Every corps has Its own officers, its own laws, rules, regulations, but all are bound by a unl-re-sal "code of honor.” The customs and ceremonials Inci- ■ dent to these student duels are queer and peculiarly fascinating, the costumes a’ I fighting attire unique and | Interesting. The duels are of two kinds -the one an “honor duel," where one student has insulted another, and honor has to be satisfied by a little blood letting, but these are often not infrequently the result of purpose rather than of actual insult just for the sake of a little fighting. The German student, like Fat, is often "spoiling for a fight.” The other kind of duel is generally a more serious matter and is known as “b/ agreement.” It is by a challenge from one corps to another and partakes of the tournament order j A list ot dates is drawn up, and on a certain day of each week a member of the sue corps meets a member of the other for “die mensur.”—Fritz Morris Lu Illustrated Sporting News. FRIENDSHIPS. Those of Long StmidinK and Tho«« Made In Later Life. People make friends later than they used to, or at least so it seems to us, probably because they grow old in gen eral later than they did. Friendship must change its nature with advancing years, but whatever makes later life full of activities and new beginning* causes friendships also to begin ai even the later stages of the journey. Os two old men early friends who Lad quarreled Coleridge said: They stood aloof, the scars remaining. Like cliffs which had been rent asunder Such an image of course gives powerfully the sense of fixity, the opposite ot the fluid potentiality of youth. Yet in the same poem we have the hint that not all is glorious in youth: And constancy Ilves in realms above. And life is thorny, and youtn Is vain. Friendship becomes rid of some sanity, it becomes more noble and satisfying to the deeper thoughts and ideals, when the roots of it grow back into a long distant past, and if we can keep i the power of making a few new ' friends in age as we need them to sup- j plement those Inherited from youth, which grow fewer with the years, but riper and more select, friendship should play a satisfying role far along toward the end of life, the best role Indeed of fts career, if, as Emerson thinks, a llfellme is needed for Its completenesa, while an hour or a day is enough for toil or play. The late friendships of th* unmarried, the childless and the wldI owed have a special necessity and pathos of their own. for mates and children to a large extent at certain periods naturally take the place of ether friends.—Collier’s Weekly. An Interested Juror. An instance of an Interested juryman was reported not long ago. A jury had been impaneled, when a man stepped forward and explained that, having been summoned to serve, ba wished to be allowed to do so at onca. as he had to attend a funeral at a distant place in the latter portion of tha week. A place was therefore made for him in the jury box. The case was tried, and owing to this man's obstinacy a verdict of acquittal was se- ! cured. It was subsequently discovered that the man had never been sum-! moned to serve at all and that the prisoner was his friend—London Tit-Bits. Both Died a. They Wiahed To. Tennyson, who was a shy, reserved man, could never understand Robert Browning’s love of society. He had been heard to remark that Browning would die in a white choker at a dinner party. The two poets died as they would have wished to die—Rob ert Browning in the grand Palazzo Ressonicco, with his son by his bedside. and Lord Tennyson in his beloved Suney home, surrounded by his loved ones.

I think I’ll send her word that I’m out” “Won’t the still, small voice reproach you?” "Yes, but I’d rather listen to the still, small voice than to Miss Chatterton.”—Puck.

NEW YORK STREETS I HOW SOME OF THE OLD ONES 1 gained their names. Trinity Church find More to Do th Beitowinic Them Then Authorities Combined > Broadway Killed Hodson s.reet. 1 The cnurchwardens of old Trii>>t.» church bad more to do, with n.imin e the streets in the lower part of old New York than all other authorities com blued. To be sure, the quaint burgomasters, before the first Trinity church was built, after hearing the pros and cons of landowners, found names for many streets significant of certain established facts, for streets and byways below Maiden lane on the easterly side of the Heere straat, afterward changed to Great George street, in honor of King George, by the authorities of Trinity. Then our patriots ignored the name and called it Bloomingdale road and then the Broad w-ay, simplified Into Broadway. The present Trinity church, at the bead of Wail street, is the third edifice of that name, the two preceding struc--1 tures erected upon the same ground having been burned, but the first was one of the first churches erected in this city, and Trinity has always been the wealthiest corporation, patronized by the richest and most influential families for ages. The churchwardens of this church had their own way about naming the streets from the church to what is now Twenty-third street, west of Broadway, along the Hudson river front, because they owned that immense property. In the olden time Queen Anne of England owned what was known as the Queen’s farm, which covered the land commencing at St. Paul’s church and extending to what is now Twentythird street, bounded by Broad-way on the east and the Hudson river on the west. Vestry street was so styled by Trinity because the church had a vestry In that street between Hudson and Greets wich streets. Church street waa so ' called because It bounded the west side of St. Paul’s churchyard. Rector street was honored by the residence of the rector of Trinity. Barclay and Vesey streets were named after two clergymen of the church. Trinity’s ofl3cers determined that the main artery of the city should run through ita land, and, grounded in their belief in their ability to carry out their Intention, Hudson street was laid out St. John's park and many other improvements were offered as inducements to purchasers of land, and St John's chapel waa erected and finished in 1803, one of the handsomest pieces of church architecture In the city. Trinity counted without an expression of the majority of the people and failed in its endeavor. The arrogance of the church fretted the good people, and more to spite the churchwardens than because Broadway was nearer the center of the city Broadway acquired the preference, and , the glory of Hudson street departed, j never to return. It has been remarked that the streets laid out by Trinity on the farm are all perfectly straight, while mnny in the lower part of the city are wonderfully crooked. The explanation of this lies in the fact that scarcely a small hill ; existed on the farm, while bslow there crooked lanes and byways, to say noth Ing of cow paths, were turned into streets, which ran in devious ways around hills, valleys and swamps. Many streets were named after the owners of property adjacent to or through w! ieh the ways were laid. Moore street was originally the Une of the first wharf erected in the city. Colonel Moore was formerly a large owner of the lots when first built upon. John street was named after John Harpending, who resided In Broadway, and John street when first laid out passed through his garden. Cortlandt, Dey and Beek man streets were carried through the property of the men after whom they were named. Ann street was named after Ann Beekman. Vandewater, Roosevelt, Rutgers, Gouverneur, Harrison, Llspenard, Bayard, De Lancey, Rivington and Willett streets were so designated because they passed through the property of people bearI ing these names. Hester street was named after on* of the Bayard family and Catharine after Catharine Rutgers. Henry street was named after a son of the Rutgers family, and Jacob street bounded the Jacob Leisler estate. Frankfort street was also a boundary of the same estate. Leisler was a native of Frankfurt. James street was named after a member of the De Lancey family, as was also Oliver street. Batavia lane was so called because the Roosevelt estate, through which this street was run, was called New Batavia. Division street was originally the division line between the De Lancey and Rutgers farms. Leonard street was named after one of the Lispenards, and Orchard street was cut through the orchard of the De Lancey farm. Sheriff street was called after Sheriff I Millett, through whose estate it was carried. Mangin and Goerck streets were named after the two city surveyi ors who laid out the river line j The first mayor of New York after ; the Revolution, a true patriot, was James Duane, who was honored by the naming of Duare street after him. Elm. Orange and Mulberry streets ; were laid out through public property j In the vicinity of the Collect pond and owe their names to the peculiarities they suggest. Cherry street was orlglj nally run through “the road by the cherry trees” and named accordingly. —New York Herald. Rogues differ little. Each began as a disobedient son.— Chiasse ITovvrb.
