The Weed Crop,

The city authorities have been clearing away
the dense thickets of weeds-''jimson ragweed,
cockle-b.r and dog-fennel--which have hedged
and obstructed the cutters Of some of our
graveled streets, and thereby have done good
job, which would have been better done sooner,
and with less trouble. The weed growths of the
open grounds this year are heavier than the
''odest inhbtant" can remember, for a score of
years at least If is doubtful if they have ever
been heavier or ranker. There are thickets of
rag-weeds by the acre in the Southside,
much Of them as high as a mans
waist. es8# Where this natural 1uxuriance
has been reinforced by the irrigating slime and
slush of cutters, as along Sullivans poultry
house drain, the growth has been almost forest
like 1t has INSTRUCTED the drainage of cutters,
disfgured the streets, and provided ample seed
supplies for next years crop. Where the city
has cut them down the immature seed will be
lost, and there may be crop at the spot but the
proportion of seminal nuisance thus destroyed is
very small to the amount left to ripen and come
again. 1t would pay to cut down the whole weed
crop of the city before the seeds mature. 1t would
be a help TO health and cleanliness TO be rid of
the nuisance, and cutting before ripening is the
ONLY Way.

"JOHN."
A Monosyllabic Name Which Has Been
Prolific of DerivatiOns.

A Monosyllabic Name Which Has Been
Prolific of Derivations.
AS a family name it is sometimes
found as plain John, then as st.
John, and then its first changes is into
Johns, then comes Jones, johnson,
Johncock, Jonkins, Jenkens, Jennings,
Jenkinson, jerks, Jinks and Jinkin-
son. By additions we have Littlejohn,
Brownjohn and Properjohn. No argu-
ment is needed to prove the popularity
of Jack. As nickname it is fixed
beyond all fear of abolition, and from
nickname it passed by easy stages to
a reputable place among the family
names. Jack is not very common, but
Jacks is more frequent, and Jackson
no longer excites remark. We have
little idea how wonderfully popular the
name Jack used to be. Everybody
was Jack till he was found to be some
one else, so that every man Jack of
them was a common term for a crowd
and its integral parts for ages. Every
servant whose name or office happened
to be unknown, went by the name of
Jack, and thus an idea of utility
was attached to the character of Jack,
which, when articles of house
hold use were one after an
other invented, came into play in Civ
ing them names also. and thus we have
boot-jacks and black-jacks and smoke
jacks and jack-towels. together with
Jacks for this, that and other purpose,
until the name became SO common as
to be inconvenient. Then came an
idea that Jack must be cunning sort
of fellow, and so the appelation gradu-
ally applied itself to the smarter of the
animal kingdom, and thus came the
jackdaw, the jack-an-apes and the jack
pike. But as familiarity is potent
breeder of contempt, the very common
ness of the name threw it into disre-
pute as having something stupid about
it, and we thus gained jack-fool or jack
pudding, or butfoon, and jackass for
a dolt.' This is sad fall for the
name of the beloved disciple, but to
such uses will name sometimes come.
1t is curious to know that the name
John became common in the western
part Of Europe only after the crusades,
when the pilgrims to the Holy Land
always carried as part of their outfit
a bottle designed to hold the water
from the River Jordan brought home
for baptismal purposes. The great
forerunner of Christ came into public
notice among the pilgrims, and it was
probably more on his account than on
that OF the beloved disciple that
the name assumed such place in the
popular regard.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.
