through the French fleu: de Louis-tradi-
tion asserting that this plant was worn as
device by King Louis VII. OF France. Buck
wheat is derived from the Dutch word book
welt, and adder's tongue from word in the
same language, adderstong. In like manner
the name tulip is traceable to the word
thonlyban in the Persian language-signlfy-
ing turban. So, too, our English word
lilac is nothing more than an Angllclzed
form of another word in the Persian tongue,
viz, lilag. A large number OF plants owe
their names to those by whom they were
first discovered and introduced into other
climes. The fuchsia stands indebted for its
name to Leonard Fuchs, an eminent Ger
man botanist, and the dahlia was so named
in honor of Swedish botanist named Dahl.
A long list of plant names might be formed
which might be termed animal and bird pre-.
tixes-as, for example, horse beans, horse
chestnuts, dog violets and dog roses; oats
faces a name applied to the plant known to
botanical students as the viola trio olor;
cats ewes, veronica chamadrys; cats tails,
and catkins. The goose-grass is known to
the country people in Northamptonshire as
pig tail, and in Yorkshire a name given to
the fruit of the Crat9gus oxyacantha is
bull horns. Many plant names have been
suggested by the fcathered race, particu-
larly goose tongue, cuckoo buds (mentioned
by Shakespeare), cuckoo flowers, stork's
bill and cranes bill. One Of the popular
names of the arum is ''parson in the pulpit"
and q Devonshire term for the sweet Scab-
riosis is s'mournful widow The campion
is not infrequently called !"plum pudding"

unusual to hear fir cones spoken Of as
"oysters. ."-Geutleman' Magazine.

Care of the Finger Nails.

The haif-moon, which is esteemed so great
a beauty, if carefully attended to will in~
crease in time, and even where it has been
almost obliterated will grow to be very
beautiful. Many people think that pushing
The skin back from the nail will show il
more; but by this practice the delicate hem,
rs we call it. which holds the upper and
Under skins together, is totally destroyed
and the ends of the fingers have an ugly
yellow growth encircling the nail, in
rtead of the delicate framework which
nature intended. Then the way in
which the nail is cut can. totally
change the shape of the fingers. By cut
ting the nails close at the sices and keeping
the corners from adhering tc the skin, hang
nails can be avoided. When the nails are
thin and inclined to break, frequent oiling is
necessary, and the nail should never be
polished except when some oily substance
Is used beside the powder. This keeps the
nails more pliable, and no matter how thin
they are, if properly treated they are no
more liable to break than thicker ones.
Another thing that is bad for the nails is
polishing. them too roughly. They should
be lightly touched, and moi rubbed until
they become heated. This is one cause OF
white spots coming on the nail and marring
it's beauty.-Medical Classics.

"poC, HUGHEs's TWO WIDOWS.
Each Claiming to Have Bsen His Lawful
Wife and Demanding Damages.

Tie Iughcs-JacobS murder case and
the damage suit by the widow of doc"
Hughes against jacobs were revived yes
tcrday, says the Grecnville Nems of the
18th, in the trial Of 4 case before the
Judge of Probate, in which Amanda
Mclvina Hughes of Georgia, vino
claimed to be the lawful wife Of Doc
Hughes instead of Sallic Hughes, with
whom the murdered man WAS living Il!
the time of his death, petilious that the
letters of administration granted to
Salie Hughes be revoked and granted
to her.
It Will be remembered that after
Hughes was killed Il woman by the
name of Amanda Hughes, living near
Clarksvillc, Georgia, appeared and
claimed to be his Lawful. wife. Her claim
was relied upon to degree by the de-
fense when Mr.. Jacobs was on trial, to
show that Hughes was n man of bad
character and was guilty of bigamy.
The alleged wife No. 1 did not again
appear upon the scene until her petition
was brought before the Probate Judge,
In the meantime Sallic Hughes, the
South Carolina wife of Doc Hughes,
brought suit against Richard II. Jacobs
for $4,000 damages for the killing of
her husband. The case was tried twice,
the first time resulting in mistrial and
the second time Sallie Hughes was
awarded verdict Of $3.50 damages.
Letters Of administration were granted
to her as the lawful wife of Doc Hughes
The history of Doc Hughes was well
ventilated in the damage suit, the coun-
sci for Jacobs making the point that he
had two living wives and Sallie Hughes
ought not to be awarded damages unless
it was proven that she was the real and
lawful wife. The trial of the case was
sensational, but the jury at last found
for the plaintiff in. the sum named.
A few days ago the damages were paid
by Mr.. Jacobs, and now comes Amanda
Melvina Hughes, who claims to be widow
of Doc Hughes and claims that under the
Statutes of South Carolina the letters of
administration should be given to her
and those given to Sallie Hughes re-
voked. The claim of widow No. 1 is
evidently made for the purpose of get
,ting control of the money awarded to
widow No. 2.
Judge Freeman heard both sides and
revoked the letters granted to Sallie
Hughes, but refused to grant new ones
to Amanda Hughes. An outside person
will now be appointed administrator,
and the next step will be for one or
both parties to bring suit against the
administrator for the recovery of the
money, and the lawful widow of Doc
Hughes will then be finally and firmly
established. G. L. Galloway represented
the petitioner and j. l. Earle the de-
fendant.

Getting a Start in Life.

NV advice to young man would be to
first obtain the best education possible, COL
legiate if he could; then engage in such
business or profession as would be agree
able to his inclination and taste, then adopt
honesty as policy. The old phrase: "Hon-
esty is the best policy" is 80 little under
stood by young men that it goes in one ear
and out of the other. II a young man has
not honesty let him adopt it as matter OF
policy, as a means to business success; be-
cause the young man who possesses hon
esty and integrity (or has the reputation of
possessing them) and is attentive to the in
terests of his employers, not needing or
taking note of time in his daily duties, but
performing such duties as he sees should be
performed, whether they are assigned to
him or not, assuming responsibility Of doing
that which should be done for his employer.
doing this in whatever vocation he chooses
with good, common, ordinary Judgment
In nine cases out of ten will succeed.-Sen-
ator G. B. Farwell, in Chicago Tribune.

Education VS.. Protection.

The movement of men Of education
and culture away from tho party Of high
tariff ideas is illustrated in the case of
President Eliot of Harvard College, who
last Saturday, in an address to the Bay
State Club, formally declared his en-
trance into the Democratic party.
President Eliot's reason for leaving the
Republican party, as stated by him, Is
that he is not in agreement with the
views that now animate it. 1t holds to
the policy OF ''protection," but the pro-
lection duties protect capital, he thinks,
and not labor. In the long run it is a
bad policy, he holds, to protect capital
at the expense of the classes without
capital. As respects civil service
methods, President Eliot is of opinion
that Mr.. Cleycland's record was vastly
better than that of Mr.. Harrison. ''Have
we not" he asks, "seen the public ser
vice degencrating more and more, and
III these last series of years worse than
all2 Have we not seen the Democratic
administration Of the public service the
best we ever had2' As believer in
civil service reform President Eliot
is compelled to part company
with the party he has so long
voted with. His secession is not
an isolated occurrence. The selfshneSs
aud greed of the protcctionists, who or.
ganize trusts to plumber people who are
already taxed in their interest, is so vast
that multitudcs arc everywhere falling
away from the high tariff faith.-Balti-

From the Bar to the Pulpit.

Col. R. a. Child of Pickens, one of
the most talented lawyers of upper
South Carolina, has decided to go from
the bar to the pulpit. At the Quarterly
Conference at Pickcps on last Saturday
Mr.. Child was recommended to the An
nual Conference, soon to convene, for
admission into the travelling connection.
he has sold his valuable law library to
bis partner, James P. Cary, ESQ, and
will at once enter upon his ministerial
duties. He has been an able local
preacher in the Methodist Church for
some time, and now that he rclinquishes
the law aud dcyotcs all his time and
talent to the preaching of the Gospel,
We predict for him a career of great
usefulness. IYdlhallu Courier.

A NOVEL SPECTACLE.
Doc, the Dog Trotter, Gives an Exhibi-
ton Of His Speed.

KANSAS CITY, October 14.-Tho spec
tacle of dog, harnessed to a wagon,
trotting upon race track rs fairly and
squarely as any horse, is certainly
novel one, yet that is what was wit
messed by 100 curious persons who
gathered at Exposition Driving Park on
October 8. When Mr.. Ketchum first
announced that he had a dog which
could trot like horse, and make faster
time on the track than some horses, his
statement was received with great
deal of incredulity, especially on the
part of the horsemen. But that his
statement was correct in every particu-
lar was amply demonstrated when Doc,
pulling load weighing twice as much
as himself, trotted half mile in 1 :52 on
track that was rough and bumpy.
Doc is a handsome red Irish setter, 9
years and months old, and weighing
Just fifty three pounds, and was brought
upon the track harnessed to a two
wheeled cart weighing thirty-six pounds,
and driven by little Willie Ketchum, a
lad weighing fifty-fve pounds. Mr.. J.
E. Riley's horse Loafer was sent with
the dog to make the pace, and at the
word they were sent away together.
Doc gave one jump to start his load,
and then at once settled into fast
square trot, which took him over the
ground in an amazingly rapid way. His
action was a perfect trot, and he went
without skip or jump. Without
urging the quarter was mado in 0:55.
Around the turn, where the track was
lumpy, the pace was not quite so rapid,
but when the straight was reached the
little driver let Doc out again, and he
came to the wire with great burst OF
speed, finishing in the fast time Of 1:52.
Doc did not seem at all distressed after
his performance, running and leaping
playfully after he was taken from the
wagon. The performance was a sur
prise, and elected much applause from
the spectators. Doc has been carefully
trained to trot, and has given frequent
exhibitions of-his powers in trials and in
races against horses in various cities.

A LOSS TO THE STATE.
THE AGRICULTURAL STATION AT
SPARTANBURG BURNED.
Together With the Contents of the Build
ing, Consisting Of Quantities of Cotton
Seed, Peas, Wheat, Provender, ETC.
An Interesting Fact About Cotton Bag
ring,

SPARTANBURG, October 17.-lSpccial
to The Register. THE State Expert
mental Station in this city, under the
management of ex-senator Wotford,
was burned to-day at 3 O'Clock. The
large two.story house was used by Mr..
Wofford as barn and gin house. When
the fire was first discovered it was small.
but everything being very dry the spread
was remarkably rapid, and before any
thing could be done the whole house
was a mass of fame. A few head of
horses in the barn were by quick work
saved, but the other contents, with the
exception of few bales of badly dam
aged cotton, were complete loss. The
house contained 1,500 bushels cotton
seed, 60 bushels peas, 40 bushels wheat
and large amount of provender.
a fact especially noticeable was that
the jute bagging burned much more
rapidly than the cotton baggng. Good
authority says that had several bales
been packed in cotton that were wrapped
in jute, they could have been saved.
1t,took hard work to save the resi-
dcnce of Mr.. Wofford, and had not the
wind been blowing from the opposite di-
rection the house would have shared
the fate of the experimental station.
The loss is estimated at between 50, 500
and 81, 600; insurance $500. fSl8
The house being on the outskirts of
the city, the fire department was un'
able to render assistance. The amount
of insurance, it is believed, will re-
build the house.

band.
During a years married life the pris.

The law has no terrors for man whose
blood is on fire. The certainty of pun
ishment will not check him. AT the su-
preme momentum the tempest of his
passion he cares nothing for the conse-
quences.
The law cannot control bot blood.
The only human power that can do it is
that sober public opinion which is the
outcome of Christian and sensible
system of family government. The
lesson of self-control, instllled into
children by precept and example. with
the liberal use of the rod when neces-
sary, will keep society tolerably straight.
The child who, from infancy, has been
taught to control bis passions, will
generally keep the peace and discourage
lawless violence in others.
The proper training of children in
every home would give US an ideal
society under the reign Of law and
order. The courts can punish crime,
but they cannot prevent it. The firm
ness and self,restraint necessary to
keep men out of temptation and law
lessness must be acquired at the family

A Singular Optical Illusion.

Passengers who Arrived last Tuesday
at Denver from Northern Wyoming re-
port singular optical illusion. The
conductor of the train says: 1T was
about an hour before sunset, and, look
ing out of the car window, we saw
about a mile away a beautiful lake. 1t
was in a slight depression among the
hills, and seemed to be about two miles
long by mile wide. Never having
noticed a lake at this place on the road,
l was considerably astonished, as were
passengers familiar with the road. AS
the tram advanced the lake appeared to
enlarge and rise, but in spite of This it
was difficult to believe the appearance
was simply mirage and that. what ap-
peared to be a lake was level plain"

Husband and Wife are Hopslessly One.

WASHINGTON, October 11.-Land
Commissioner Croft has rendered a de-
cision in the case of May Barr, formerly
WassOn, a resident of the Mitchell, Oak,
land district. 1t appears from the tes-
timony that in July, 1885, Mrs. Barr,
then resident of the State of Iowa,
went to Dakota for Il visit, and while
there took up eighty acres adjoining the
tract then recently entered by Michael
Barr. She purchased a house and had
it moved on her claim, broke ono acre
and made Improvements.
At that time, she says in her testi-
mony. she had no intention Of marry
ing Mr.. Barr, and later they married
and they moved their houses up close
together upon the line and sodded them
all around on tie outside, making one
house; they were then papercd; that
Barr put his bed, stove, table, &C., i'll
his; she put bed, stove, table in hers.
There is no means of communication
between the two different parts of the
house except by going outside, each
having an outside door; that she acted
in good faith in making the entry, and
knowing Michael Barr. at the time, and
having no understanding it was to be
kept in Barr's family; that she complied
with the homestead law fully. Mrs.
Bars claim is rejected on The ground
that husband and wife cannot maintain
separate relations at the same time and
in the same house, so that each, by viz
tue of said residence. may perfect en-
try under the homestead law. 1t is
said there arc a number of cases in the
General Land Office similar in all i'm
portant respects to the case of Mrs.
Barr.

CAPTURED A HAMLET.
Masked Robbers Go Through the Tills Of
the Two Stores in the Place.

OMAHA, October Is. Two masked
men robbed the stores in the village Of
Bellevue, four miles South of Omaha,
last night and escaped. Oscar Kayser
was counting the days receipts in his
little general merchandise store about
$50 o'clock, when he heard rap at the
door. On opening it he was confronted
by two masked men with drawn re-
volvers, who compelled him to hand
over his .pocketbook and what money he
had in the drawer. They then marched
him across the street to the onl ly other
storc in town, which was kept by Mr..
Wright. Wright, OH seeing his neigh
Dor enter the store with his hands up,
took the cue and threw up his hands.
Young Mr.. Wright and Mrs. Wright,
who were in the store at the time, fol-
lowed suit. The two robbers got what
money there was in the till, relieved
young Wright of a gold wotch, and then
marched all four of the victims in front
of the store, where they compelled them
to stand in Il row with their hands up
until they had disappeared in the woods.
All the other citizens of the village
seem to have been in bed.

A Clergyman's Reasons for Reading
Newspapers.
(From the Pittsburgh Di2Jatch.)

(Frorq the Pittsburgh Di2Jatch)
10 tile EDITOR Of tile DiSpacth: l sec
hat Bishop Foss, in his address to the
class seeking admission to conference,
,dvised the young ministers to give
scanty attention to the daily ncwspa-
pcrs.
But I must certainly disagree witt.
this Episcopal dictum, for | think wise
reading of the daily newspaper is sym
mctrical education. While things slip
in sometimes which ought to be passed
by, the editors Of great paper have a
trdc Midas touch, aud know the gold of
promise from the brass of profession.
There is no noble sentiment, no true
strain of poetry, no Sonorous word fit 10
roll round the world, no gem of thought
but finds its way at last into the columns
of the daily press. The newspaper is a
fresh photograph of human life-oh! has
it not depth of meaning for the noblest
sermon2 read often even the adver-
tisements of the paper, and find in thcm
the wit, power, and also the pathos OF
life. thank the daily press for the
living sermons it has given me. As on
an autumn's day the wind shakes the
tree and the leaves fall down and make
an amethystine and golden floor, so this
great tree, the press, shaken every day,
Sheds down its white leaves upon the
wo old-leaves of knowledge, leaves of
healing. -.
When l see a young minister who
wisely reads the daily paper I am sure
heis growing in grace, at least on that
spot where it is thought the average
minister is sadly deficient.
