Mistakes such as-that which makes Uganda of Buganda are frequent when the white man bases his geographical nomenclaturevon his understanding of the native. Sometimes, they are amus- ing when one gets the explanation. For instance, Damaraland should real- ly be Damaqualand, just as Namaqua- land and Griqualaud, for \qua\ is the masculine plural, meaning \men.\ \Ea\ is the feminine dual. The ex- plorer, with a sweep of his hand, ques- tioned his native guides as to the name of the country. But they thought he was pointing to two Dama women in the distance arid' answered, \Damara.\ So this portion of German Africa bears a name which signifies \land of two Dama women.\—London Chronicle. Told of a Tailor. A Viennese tailor was so fascinated by his own figure Jin a suit ordered by a court functionary that he could not make up his mind to paif with the garment. He passed hours daily be fore the mirror admiring the elegant fit until his mind gave way to lunar-y He finally had to be consigned to an spying on all the wells drilled. A si 111 lino for the (irst offense! and a prison term for the second wore the punish ments inflicted'' on tlie.- man unluckj enough to got caught.' 'Those, outlaw shooters had their plants fof making the glycerin, located in some out of the way spot and When their services were required did their shooting by moon light, hence-the name moonlighter. • Many and varied were the adventures that befell these moonlighters. A driller coming out from town to a well one day saw a can half hidden in a fence corner and stopped to invest! gate. Trtking off the lid. lie saw whni he supposed was lard oil. Well pleased with his (hid. he took it along with him. He showed his treasure to his mates at the well and then used some of it to lubricate the ehgine. For some reason the men were called from the vicinity of the derrick. They bad got but a short distance when there was an explosion that fitted the costly en gine for the scrap heap. A close In- spection of the supposed lard oil re vealed the startling fact that it was nitroglycerin. It was a frightened lot of men who gingerly returned the can to the fence corner from which the driller had taken it. It proved to be the property of a moonlighter, who had left it there, in- tending to. return for it that night. 1 In so cjangerous an occupation a? moonlighting many fatal accidents were to be expected. I recall very dis tinetiy two that occurred within a short time of each other. In the first, the moonlighter, a big- blond Swede, had come straight from his wedding to the well. The liquor he had been drinking in celebration of his marriage had ruffled his usually placid temper. He had filled the shell with the glycerin and was endeavor i-ng to slip the cap into rplace. His hands Were a trifle unsteady, and In- fumbled it several minutes. Finally losing his temper, he roughly jerked the cap into place and struck the per cussion cap a heavy blow with hi.- fist. There was a crash that shook the very earth. The derrick and everything in it was blown to flinders. The men who had been watching the operation were instantly killed. Some time later another terrible ac- cident happened. The mooulightei was a young fellow and noted for his careful work. The well he was to | shoot had made a fine showing in the sand, and the owner confidently ex- pected a gusher. The shot was started I down, and everything seemed to be going all right. There were several men in the derrick, and a tool dressei I stood waiting for the shot to reach the I bottom of the well when the piece ol I iron he held in his hand, which »» j called the go devil, would be sent down ' to set it off. The moonlighter let the | rope, which was stretched taut by the i weight of the heavy shot, run through j his hands. Suddenly the rope slack ened. Oe knew only too well what that meant. The gas in the well was forcing the shot back out. \It is coming out! For God's sake help me catch it!\ he yelled to the tool dresser. With a shriek the tool dresser tied, and the others, knowing their terrible danger, followed him. The shooter VICTOR HUGO. IN EXILE. And the Attle Room In Which He Wrote His Masterpiece. A graphic description of a visit to Victor lingo in Guernsey and of his quaint home there is given by the late Sir William Butler in his autobiogra- phy: \Of the many curious things to la- seen in Hauteville house the master's sleeping room was the strangest. He had built it on .the roof between two great blocks of chimneys. You as cen'ded to bis workshop bedroom by stairs, which somewhat resembled a ladder. Quite half of the room was glass, and the view from it was mag- nificent The isles of Jethou and Surlc were in the middle distance, and be- yond lay many a mile of the Norman coast. Alderney lay to the north, and beyond it one saw the glistening win- dows of the triple lighthouses of the Casquet rocks and still more to the right the high ridges overlooking Cher- bourg. The bed was a small camp bedstead, with a table on one side of it and a small desk cbest of drawers on the other, with pens, ink and paper always within reach. \Near the bed stood a small stove, which he lighted himself every morn- ing and on which he prepared his cafe au lait; then work began at the large table which stood in the glass alcove n few feet from the foot of the bod. This work went on till it was time to dress and descend to dejeuner in the room on the ground floor already de- scribed. As the sheets of writing pa- per were finished they were number- ed and dropped on the floor, to be picked up, arranged and put away in the drawer desk at the end of the morning's labor. Ho called the writ- ing table his 'carpenter's bench\ and the leaves which fell from it his 'shav- ings.' \It was at this.table and in this airy attic -that most of the great work of bis Inter life was done. Here were written 'Los Miserables,' 'Les Traveil- leurs de la Mer' and many volumes of poetry.\ PAID WITH A FLAG. STATU) UJ) T NEW YORK Officii of the Secretary of State Albany , July 29, 1913.

It Is not generally known that on the anniversary of Waterloo each year —June IS, 1S15, was the original day- fife Duke of Wellington is required to present the sovereign with a new flag bearing the French colors as an ac- knowledgment that his grace holds the manor of Strathfieldsaye at the will and pleasure of the king, that estate having been presented to the Iron Duke as a national gift for his success over Napoleon at Waterloo. The ceremony of the presentation of the flag is today much shorn of its ancient glory, for formerly the ruling duke used to bring the trophy himself on horseback and personally offered it to the monarch. Nowadays it is sent b3' deputy, however, and is then placed by some appointed equerry in the po- sition assigned to it—namely, over the marble bust of the old Duke of Wel- lington that stands on its pedestal in the guardroom at Windsor castle. The flag which has rested there during the preceding year Is then taken down and returned to the dutee's messenger. It is on the special condition of thus rendering this annual tribute of feudal ! service, as we may call it. that the I reigning duke is allowed to retain tlu> splendid estate already mentioned. If I he omits to send the banner oo the proper day he forfeits the right to the estates. The same principle applies to the beautiful domains of Blenheim held by the Duke of Marlborough, who sim- ilarly has to send a now flag on each anniversary of the battle (Aug. 13, 170-i). The banner is placed over the bust of the noted Duke of Marlbor- ough, also in the guardroom at Wind- sor.—London Sphere.
