Illustrated papers picture him a savage pearecrow mounted on a wiry woking animal, and bis chief oecupa- tion Is apparently the Kkuifing und knouting of harmless people. Yet he comes ol good stock, " Once upon a time there dfitiea into southwest ltussia a tribe of runaways who called themselves "Kossakl," which is Tartar for free men, free warriors or guardians. they lived up to the awe. 'They pro- tected from the lartars the peoples in the countries which they originally bad fed from and saved thousands of Rus. slan women and children from slavery in Turkey. Growing in numbers and tmportance, these self appointed guard- ian angels became everywhere feared and respected. Their military services especially were in request. Any nation could command their help if its cause appealed to the Kossaki code of honor. The tribe had gradually resolved fit- self Into two classes--the village Kos- sakl, who lived in their own settie- ments all over southern Russia, and the fphabitaots of the "Setch Heyound the rapids." The former had the ad- vantage over other country folk, as neighboring governments were too afraid to tax them. Between wars, to which the call came from the Setch, the village Kossaki tilled the land. Of an altogether different character was the organization of this Setch, a com- munity of about 12,000 men with per manent Oeadguarters in a movable settlement (the exact location was changed eight times in two centuries), usually on an ubapproachabie island on the lower course of the Duieper. I'he Turks once tried to rush the place, but got caught in the maze of islands ke rats In a trap. I'he Setch in one respect resembled a monastery. No woman was allowed inside It. A mao might not even bring his motner or his sister. If be did he was banged. Here, eiger to lead the tree and simple life among their equals, came all sorts and conditions of men. ludeed, owing to the law enjoining celibacy, the colony depend- ed for. its numbers on newcomers, al- though the village Kossaki contributed recruits. Any one could. joln, as rank and riches were despised, and all be bad to do was to submit to laws a8 follows: Chastity, the ortbodox creed, allegiance to Russia and the south Russian dialect. No reference or lo- convenient questions of his past were asked of the intending Kossak. He simply went to the elected chief and, after a brief greeting, was shown to bis place in one of the "kurenl" or big huts. "Here is thy bome, three paces long and two paces wide, and when thou shalt dle we will make It smaller." They had good times, though, in the Setch. 'There were no maneuvers, no organized training, w©vo compulsory drill. Men lay or slept in the leveled spaces between huts, enjoylog, gypsy fashion, the freedom of the open air. Drink was plentiful and also tobac- co. Great songs were sung, and there was much playing of stringed lostro- ments. Throughout the place a spirit of good comradeship prevailed. A popular pastime was dancing, no easy task tn cumbersome bigh boots. Cos- tumes were of a picturesque variety. The Kossak wore a mustache and on the crown of his bead a lonesome wisp of hair, both being worn long to en- able bim to wind the three ends round his ears. Each man went armed to the teeth, and the majority carried "pagalkas" (whips which are still used). in wartime things were different. To drink was a-crime. Food, always plain, consisted of rations of uncooked horseflesh. Military organization was by election of leaders, one to every 100 men, with a colonel In command of a regiment. These officers had absolute power, but authority for only one cam- paign. Such war spells were of fre- quent occurrence, so much so that the fighting business led to the extinction of the tribe. Peter the Great jald J waste the Setch. Mazeppa made him- self unpleasant. The Setch was again bombarded and ruined when its in: habitants became, some of them, plow. men, while others were shipped to the orfent. True, there was a brief re- Appearance of the Setch, but under different avsplces and pothing ike in old times. Flpally the Kossakl mods Were confiscated, and the tribe and its tnstitutions gave place to serfdom and the creation of a sew pobility.

Magic of a Tiger's Carcass In the Open Air In India. The vulture is seen at its best when a dead tiger, brought into camp to be skinned, is exposed in the open. Over- bead is a cloudless sky and not a bird to be seen in that great vold by the human eye. The tiger's body Is thrown from the pad to the ground, and before the skin has been removed there above one and §!ways nearing the earth are the vultures eircling, polsing like things of air, now a dozen of them, In a few minutes a score or two and then a nundred stroog. Then, when the flayed carcass of the tiger is left by those who skinned it, the vuoitures de- seend Down they come like feathered thun- der ont of the sky, and from east and west and oorth and south, the very embodiment of power while they whirl aloft and in their quick de scent to earth. and now, as they wad- dle around that carrion beast, mis shapen ghouls, whose only apparent strength Is that of the ravening juws which tear and gorge the tiger's flesh uutil within the hour naught of tbat splendid brite remains but a clean Here is a unique photograph from the convention of police now meeting in Toronto. a little police his socks: is Chief Commissioner O'Leary, weight. about three three, chief Chief (a 8 SATE RDAY, & JULY CONTRAST OF hey. of hundred ) From left from a big city. of Louisville, 13, 1912.

This® curious incident comes from Subr, Switzerland: An' inspector of schools, without any previous warning, visited the village school and found the eiderly teacher asleep at his desk and the children departed, baving ap- parently taken French leave. To give the teacher a great surprise and a bad quarter of an hour the iuspector de- cided to wait until he awoke and seat- ed himself on a bench In front of the culprit. The bours passed, and the in- spector himself went to sleep. The teacher, on awakening and seeing who was sleeplug before him, quietly left the school for home. Without entering the schoolroom the concierge - locked up the school and the slumbering in- spector. Several hours later the con- clerge heard a great poise and, arming himself, opened the door and was great- |y surprised to tind the angry inspector before him. Thres Million Wires to an Inch. Gold bas been hammered out to thin sheets whose thinness 1s beyond magi. nation, so thin a pile one inch high would doubtless contain 300,000 if all were as thin as the thinnest one. But a platinum wire has been drawn to a diameter so minute that 3,000,000 side by side would occupy oue inch. The method was to surround platinum with silver and draw the mass into finer and finer wire. Then the silver coating was dissolved off with pitric acid, leav- ing the excessively thin, insoluble thread of platinum. Particles of gold have been seen in the new uitra violet Nght, dark ground reflecting micro scopes go small that a row containing 250,000 would be one inch long.

There has been some talk of estab lishing a troop of Girl Guides in the city. When the scout movement started, the girls wanted to be scouts in their brothers' patrols, but their mothers objected. Then the Girl Scout movement, with Miss Baden-Powell as head, was started, but its name was soon changed to Girl Guides. In the United States the Girl Guides are called the "Camp-Fire Girls." , We do not like this name as well as the Eng- lish use.
