It was in the reign of Good King -James that baronets first-~came into ex- istence. To-day, you could hard tell a baronet from a banker. But in the year 1611, when James I, needed ready-money, and created two hundred "little barons" to sup- piy him with cash, they swaggered about in their baldrics and sasbes, |" and behaved in the courtliest of fashions. Each baronet, in order to justify his title, had to maintain a small army of thirty soldiers for three years. In thrs way the crafty king not only increased his rev- enue, cae actually lightened his ex- penses! It is not generally known that the title of "baronetess" has twice been bestowed on women. One of these was the mother of a Dutch general. The other was a Nottingham lady named Dame Maria Bolles, who won her way into the good graces' of Charles I., and Western Woman Presents Husband With Triplets at Ottawa.

The natives call it chiao-jen- -kou, meaning "man-biting-dog."' M Tokutaro Ito of Tokyo, who has re |eently made a botanical explora- tion in Formosa, suggests the name "viper tree' as a more distinctly warning title. There is another species of "stinging tree" in Au- stralia, which attains a height of 15 feet, and the effects of whose touch appear to be even more mad- dening to men and animals. Horses stung by it have had to be shot, and dogs, when affected by the poison the leaves, run about, whining and biting themselves, ------ air " .

The Black Hand, although oper- ating in New York * is, of course, an Italian organization, but the oncel dreaded Ku-Klux Klan was an Am- society pure and simple, and its victims used to be ntarked in similar fashion with the three letters '"K.K.K." made after death by nine cuts with a bowie knife. The Ku-Kluxes were all old sol- | diers, wha had fought on the south- ern side during the great Americ- | an Civil War, and their object was 'to terrorise the freed negro slavee, *}and such southern whites as were inclined to help them. They com- *| mitted frightful outrages, whole .| families, both black and white, be- ing wiped out. At length, in 871, Congress re- solved to put down the association, and the "KU-KLUX LAW' was passed. This allowed the au- thorities to arrest suspected Ku- Kluxes, and to try them without a jury, and the result was that the murderous organization was soon suppressed.
