........ for the “o” in the spelling ot Tusca-
rawas, and gave the name to-the
river and the valley. Later the pres-
ent spelling beeline most common.
Other chroniclers 'believe the
word came from’a Delaware Indian
title which means “Old Town.”
They claim the river receives .its
nime from Tuscarawa, the oldest
Indian town in that section of the
state and which was situated on the

that section -and said they would now

TusCarawas was given to all that

in Summit county and the town of
Coshocton, where! the Walhonding
river joins the Tuscarawas to form
the Muskingum.
The origin of the tricky name of
Tuscarawas, which now represents
a river, county, and village in the
same county has long furnished his-
torians a subject for research. Ac-
cording to some early writers, this
often misspelled and mispronounced
name was derived from the Tusca-

inhabited North Carolina. They mi-
grateqf:tb New York state to become
part of the Six Natrons Confedera-

Plenty of Experience Is
Needed in Making H-arps
“To make a harp that will sound
right a man must be a cabinet
maker, wood carver, machinist, tool
maker, • mechanic and musici&n
rolled into one.” So asserts a "harp
manufacturer- of long experience,
according to a writer in the Wash-
ington Post.
This gilded “instrument of an-
gels” was the first stringed musical
device. Its music has often been
thought magic. Fourteenth century .
feudal lords declared harp’ music
could cure sickness of mind and
body. Troubadors playing harps
were paid in gold and jewels.
Solomon ordered 4,000 harpists,,
and as many trumpet players to
play at his feasts.
In Germany and Switzerland
small harps are sometimes attached
-to cottage doors. When the door
Swings, the harps tinkle softly.
Tourists returning from these coun-
tries have often made their own
“door harps” from cigar boxes and"
mandolin strings.
Peculiarity of Cactus Family
The-cactfe natural order, known
to botanists hs cactaceae, ranges
in size' -and form of plants from
globular bodies- little larger than
peas1 to candelabra-like grboreal
growths fifty feet high. In the case
of the giant cereus of Arizona,
southeastern California and north-
ern Mexico, shafts of this Height are
occasionally single or with very few
branches,. but,' in southeTrt- Mexico
and below, .great umbrageous cac-
lor
a distance, for they are of
sufficient stature, states a writer in
the Los Angeles Times. There is
scarcely any form in plant life
throughout the world, aside from
lofty trees, that some member of
the.cactus family, cannot match. No
flower grows whose counterpart in
color cannot be found in this inter-
esting gfoup of more' than 5,000
named and published species.
Blarney Legend’s Antiquity v, 4
When the legend of-the Blarney
Stone began is not historically
dated, though the expression “blar^
ney” is said to date to the Eliza-
bethan days. It is supposed to de-
fine a peculiar form of* wheedling
Irish eloquence, originally ascribed
to Lord Clancarthy in his commu-
nications with the English queen, in
which he showed a knack of making
wordy excuses. Elizabeth received
one of his communication? with a
sigh of resignation and 'tije com-
ment; "This is more than bljai^iey.”
This exclamation has been regarded
as the source of origin for the stone.
The contact of the mouth and lips
with the stone is suppbsed to com-
municate the “blarney,
infection. 6
St. Patrick’s Wel^ in Ireland
St.,Patrick’s well in Ireland is sit-
uated neaf the , famous Gellen
bridge, founded in 1608 on the Old
Coach road, where King Niall Caille
was drowned in 846, as a warning
to invaders, famed in verse as the
Lcation^riod. "Way to Western Ireland/ and la
near the Royal college, which car-
ries on the work of the original
school founded by St. Patrick.0
How the Tiger Got Its Name
The word tiger really means an
arrow, and comes to us from the
Old Persian. An arrow fired from a
bow .travels very swiftly through
the (air, and as the tiger also travels
swiftly1 it was called by the Ori-
entals »n arrow, or tiger.
