The Tariff commission has not yet formal ly decided upon methods of work, but 1t is expected that the commission will remain in Washington during the session of Congress in order that the views of members may be obtained, and that the commissioners may have full opportunity of consulting with the treasury officials controverted points Before proceeding to place themselves in communication with representative men of the leading interests of the country, the con- mission will study the several schedules and classifcations of the tariff, with the view of ascertaining what changes are needed In these by reason of the developments made in manufactures and commerce since the exist ing classiications were adopted. It is also proposed that when the commission is ready to begin active operations, instead of invit- ing persons to appear and address them upon special subjects, representatives of every business affected by the tariff laws shall be asked to present their views in writing to the commission, giving tho reason, based on actual experience, for such changes in the tariff laws as may be demanded.

A Dyspeptic Minister.


 Man and woman, in the name of Christian charity, in the name of common humanity, rise and by every means in your power, with all your strength, and with all your mind and with all your soul, rescue the perishing vic tims of intemperance. See, here comes one with pale face and lustreless eyes. His lips are set in agony he may not describe. His steps are slow and the dull throbbing of & heavy headache beats at his temples like untitled drum. Ten years ago hls form was erect, his eyes were bright, his heart was light as thistle down he knew what a head ache was only by hearing people speak of 1t. See him to-day His days drowsy and his nights are sleeple IS, and gayety IS wear mess to him. And what has made this wreck of manhood? Intemperance! Too much hot bread and too many late suppsrs Dys- persla that's what's the matter. Had this man been temperate eater he would be a healthy man to day But he said, "I can take care of myself. When I find that hot bread and II o'clock suppsrs are harming me will let them alone" An, he thought he could. But look at him now. And the curse of his intemperance does not fall upon him alone. No indeed. You should see his poor family hunt for dark corners when the dyspepsia is unusually strong on the old man. And yet he is not Q bad man. No; hs IS a minister of the gospel. He is a good man, but he has the dyspepsia And truly good man with the dyspepsia will say as | iIl-natured things about people as will bad man with his skin fuH of whiskey; howbeit | the good man will not swear; and says his ill- natured things in more refined way. Let us l deep in our hearts ever cherish a profound pity 1 for the victim of incorporate eating who is | bound in the chains of dyspepsia. And let us | vote for constitutional amendment forever prohibiting the manufacture of shortcake and ! hot bread in Iowa save only for exportation.

He throws mail matter as fast as person could count for say half minute, but at the end of that time the counter would get left and McGin- his would be going on. There were 12O diff ferent pouches on the car during the night, for different roads and cities, and it was nec- essary that McGinns should keep in his mind just exactly where each pouch was for, what was in it and when to lock 1t up.
 While throwing letters he was continually being asked by the others where this, that and the other town was or where such and such paper or letter would go, and he an swered each question before it was well out of the interrogators mouth, never stopping in his work for second.

Flowers and superstItions.


 The necessity of gathering certain plants before sunrise, as in the case of the St. Johns-wort, or in the gathering of May day garlands seems to go back at least as far as the days of Pliny, who mentions that some flowers, as the lily of the valley, had to be gathered in secrecy, and therefore before daybreak to insure their efficacy. It Is per haps no loss that the purposes for which the wizard world employed these flowers have passed into oblivion but it Is probable that without some such knowledge the explana- ton of the names or superstltlons attached to many of our plants must remain impossi' ble Topples are said to have once been of fered to the dead to appease their names, which may account for their surviving funeral flower, in spite of their brightness ot color The use of the vervain, or holSs herb, in the Tyrol worn in the shoe to keep off fatigue, may point to the origin of our own word sDeedtreU. and there are other Eng fish names of plants which are capable of sx planation by studied comparison with their names in other countries or in earlier times. Some of the names of flowers are simple enough, being suggested by some obvious characteristic, or by some comparison to something rather like it. The sage, or S0t- Ui0 ger6endc0, owes its synonym ''clary" to it's old use as an eye remedy or clear eye, and the comparison of the 1IcRis dttt,t,ttfa6- Gs (which in most languages of Europe still retains in its name it's old connection with the blood of the slain Adonis, and in popular German is still B1utstropfchen) to the eye of pheasant leaves no mystery about it's name. But sometimes the explanation of names, founded the principle of comparison. seems somewhat absurd. Of course we all know that we call the dandelion from the French dent de Lorl, and we are asked to see, in the plants indented leaf, resemblance to l the tooth of lion, little we can explain | how the French became conversant with | lions as to compare their teeth with the leaf | of dandelion. It is not more likely that this plant derived it's name from it's supposed efficacy, in some country or time, as pro lection to a man from lions tooth, just as l in Lower Bavaria, at this day, certain plant carried on the person is thought to be safe guard against dogs bite? Or take the hon eysuckle which in Freuch, Italian and Span ish, and in the English of SpeLser and Shakespeare, is the cap7%to1e, CT goat leaf Are we seriously to believe, what all the bo tanical books gravely tell us, that it was so called because it seemed to climb rocks like 6 goat when hundred other climbing plants might as readily suggest that animal s activi- ty? May it not be that the goat which is fond of the leaves of shrubs, shows partic ular partiality to those of the honeysuokle The zoologist here might come to the aid oi ! the botauist.
