The overturning of traditions which
bos been brought about by American
ethnologists, who by the study of Az-
tec life have come to the conclusion
tba: Montezuma was not a king, but
only a war chieftain; that the famous
Aztec empire was not on empire at all,
but only a loose confederacy of demo-
cratic Indian tribes, is subscribed to
by Prof. T. T. Waterman of the Uni-
versity of California, who hrs Just is-
sued a paper on “Bundel let’s Contribu-
tion to the Study.**
Montezumas “palace" was not ti pal-
ace, bat only war headquarters for the
tribe, according to Watermark “Monte-
zuiia," he says, “was only an elected
war chief. He had not power to de-
clare war. this being the prerogative of
the tribal council. The choice of the
war chief, was, however, limited to one
group, which consisted of a w hole fam-
ily of lineage, but son dl l not follow
father unless elected. The sons of the
war chiefs were brought up as private
citizens.
“The head twir eh* if. such as Monte*
sum i, was of no higher rank than the
ceedjutor, who held the extraordinary
title of Snake Woman. The functions
of the man who held this office are not
clearly known, but apparently an im-
portant part of his office was the gath-
ering and housing of tribute,
“Misunderstanding of Aztec life has
ari.M,*n.” says Waterman, “from the tact
(het the Spanish conquerors did not
realize the fundamental differences !>e-
tw^en Indian and Spanish society.
Land was not owned by Individuals,
but by the clan. To the Aztec society
was essentially democratic, u bile Span-
ish society was essentially feudal."
Starlings and Crows Chums.
Au Interesting fact regarding the
crow*; is their intimacy with the star-
lings. The starlings first appeared in
tills country in IS XI, and it was not
more than ten years agn that flocks of
ttiern began to Im* seen about Hartford,
yet now the crows associate with them
in as friendly a uxtnner as if the two
species laid dwelt LngeChrr for millen-
niums. The starling does not fear the
crow, and the crow does not act in a
domineering way townn! the smaller

To Avoid • Double Chin.
SJ«p with the head low it you would
avoid a double chin. High pillows
throw the head forward, make a fold
of fie-' s. under the chin, and cauw the
inusck-s to relax. Battle the chin night
and morning with very cold wut<ir end
a few drops of benzoin.
A double chin often results from the
habit of bending the chin forward and
down to rend or study, or it may <v>me
from being near-sighted. If from habit,
learn to mlse the object up so that the
eyes may be properly focused upon it
without bending the head forward.
Ti is will also ju-event any strain «P°o
th*? eyes.
Recognize Va ue of Binis.
The quite general interest in bird-
life aid protection Indicates the more
genera! recognition of the value of
birds in the great reciprocai relation-
ship and harmonies of nature. Nat-
uralists calculate that the progeny of
a single pair of Gypsy moths, un-
checked. would in eight years, destroy
every vAtigp of foliage in the United
States. Insect Ufa is increasing to an
alarming extent, adding to the cost
and tie hazards of crop-raising. It is
said hat the expense of fighting in-
jects and the losses because of their
depreciations cost Massachusetts $5,-
000,000 annually. The loss is unques-
tlonulTy duplicated in other states.

Lynx Meat as Focd.
As an article of dkt the Canada
lynx cannot be beaten when properly
pvpared, although this may be a sur-
prise to the vast majority of people
even in the regions where this big cat
is best known. This statement is
nede in the belief that the common
IjtaX found In Alaska Is the same anl-
n al scheduled by the natural histories
a? lynx Canadensis. If any curious
parson will take the hindquarters of a
lynx in good condition, leave it over
night in a bucket of water to which
a handful of salt and a teaspoonful of
sxla are added, and then roast it with
potatoes h*? will have a dish very slm-
i ar io i ,untHin sheep, admittedly tAe
fnest meat in the world. Ad onion or
two placed in the roasting pan will
teip. In entertaining hypercrltfr’ally
fastidious friends Lt’s just as well to
five the dish some o*her name, 4n
ivtich event its delicious flavor will
re<*eive extravagant praise.

His Fables Were Classics.
lean de la Fontaine, the seventt’enth
ceatury French genius, who ranks
among the greatest fabulists of all
time, died 222 years ago, at the age of
seyenty-four. and to the last he was as
naive, improvident, reckless and good-
hearted us a child. .
He was the son of a magistrate, and
in his youth propom-d to become a
pr.est. but abandoned that project aft-
er eighteen months in a seminary, aad
thereafter, for several years, led an
idle aud dissipated life. Ills early ef-
forts as poet and dramatist were of
little worth, and it was not until he
wis forty-four that he gained fame
w th his “Contes pour Hire”—-tales for
laughter.
La Fontaine’s masterpiece, his
‘Tables,’’ were published between 1C68
and 1694, the last book having been
completed shortly before his death. In
tlese he satirized the whole range of
human nature in its animal counter-
parts, and produced a wor that will
aJways rank as a great classic.

How Beloit Received Its Name.
The significance of the name of a
city is commonly not difficult to dis-
cover. Beloit, Wis.. than which no
city bos a pleasanter name, affords
thi rare example of a dry nmne nianu-
factured to order, ami having no
linguistic or other significance. Ac-
cording to the recollections uf one of
the founders of the town, which have
recently be< n presented to the Wis-
consin Historical society, the first set-
tler in 1836 named the place “New Al-
bciy.” A few months later a meeting
of the settlers was held to select a
belter name for the futqre dty. Sev-
en .1 having beA proposed and reject-
ed. it was finally agreed “to place the
alphabet In a hat ami see if we could
no . get a combination of letters that
would give us a name that would be
a new one.” While engaged in this,
on-* of the settlers trying to sound a
Fiench word meaning “handsome
ground” uttered the sound ’bellotte.”
Another settler immediately modified
th s to “Beloit," which was considered
“like Detroit in sound and pretty and
or glnal." 8o the newly CGincnl name
w: s adopted, and by it “New Albany"
has evv since been known.—Wiscon-
sin History Bulletin.
