The Three ScutaHa.
There ore three places named Scutari

stantinople and oue la southern Greece.
It is curious that each name comes
from a different original form. The
Greek Scutari U otherwise Scatari. the
Albanian one is the Illyrian Scodra.
and the Asiatic one is the Turkish Us
Uodar. This last means a courier
carrying royal orders from station to
station and commemorates the fact
chat this place, the ancient CUryaopo

point of the Asiatic couriers.
How He Got the Moon.
John Henry Maedler, the astronomer,
whose favorite study was the moon,
having learned that Frau Witts, the
wife of the state councilor, owned a
wonderful model of his pet luminary,
spent years trying to gain possession
jf It As her husband was living, ho
could not marry the owner of the mod
el, so he married her daughter, and ct
the death of his mother-in-law the cov
jted moon became his.

Little four-year-old Henrietta stood
watching the cook draw or clean a
