HOW TO BEGIN THE STUDY OF
BOTANY.

Most young people find botany a
dull study. So it is, as taught from the
text books in the schools but study it
yourself in the fields and woods, and
you will find it source of perennial
delight. Find your flower and then
name it by the aid of the botany.
There is so much in name. To find
out what thing Is called is great
help. 1t is the beginning of knowl
edge ; it is the first step. When we see
a new person who interests US, we wish
to know his or her name. A bird, a
flower, a place-the first thing We wish
to know about it is its name. Its name
helps US to classify it ; it gives US handle
to grasp it by, 1t sheds ray of light
where all before was dark. As soon as
We know the name of a thing, we
seem to have established some sort Of
relation with it.
The other day, while the train was
delayed by an accident, wandered a
few yards away from 1t along the river
margin seeking wild flowers. Should |
find any whose name | did not know?
While thus lettering, a young English
cir: also left the train and came in my
direction, plucking the flowers right
and left as she came, But they were
all unknown to her she did not know
the Eame of one of them, and she
wished to send them home to her
father, too. With what satisfaction she
heard the names the words seemed to
be full of meaning to her, though she
mad never heard them before in her
life. 1t was what she wanted it was
an introduction to The flowers, and her
interest III them increased at once.
That orange colored flower which
you just plucked from the edge OF the
water, that is our jewel weed, | SAID.
1t looks like jewel, she replied.
You have nothing like it in English,
or did not have till lately; but l hear
it now appearing along certain English
streams having been brought from
this country.
And what is this7 she inquired, hold
ing up Elue flower with very
bristIy leaf and stalk.
That is viper's budloss or blueweed,
a plant from your side OF the water,
one that is making itself thoroughly at
home along the Hudson and in the
valleys of some of its tributaries
among the Catskils. 1t is rough,
hardy weed, but lis flower, with its
long, conspicuous purple stamens and
blue corolla, as you see 1t, is very
pretty.
Here is another emigrant from across
the Atlantic, l said, holding up clus
ter of small white flowers each mounted
upon a little inflated brown bag OF
balloon-the bladder campio3.

wanted this hearty English girl to set
one of our native wild flowers SO in
tense in color that it would fairly make
her eyes water 10 gaze upon it.
Just then the whistle of the engine
summoned US all aboard, and in a mo
ment we were off.

Water Works.

One of the objections urged against
the water works is that they would
only benefit "the rich along Main
Street." With such a system of was
ter works as should be built, some of
the high ground near the residence Of
the late Col. Hughes would be the
most eligible point for the stand pipe.
This would bring the main pipe
along Main Street, supplying every
residence and business house on that
street desiring it, from the stand pipe
to the bridge over the railroad. Lat
erals would be extended North on
Chancery, Spring end Sparta Streets
from three to five blocks, and both
North and South on every other
street crossing Main from one to
three blocks. This would supply
every business house in town, the coll
lege public school, hotels, depot, and
every shop and manufacturing estab.
lishment in town we believe with
the single exception of Falcon -four
ing mill. This would also supply
more than so per cent ofthe residents
of the place. 1t would furnish wa
ter to sprinkle streets, yards and gar
dens, to say nothing of fire protec-
ton. We believe more than IS per
cent of the families reached would
willingly take the water at So or Sc a
year, and we doubt ifthere is single
business house which would not take
it at prices ranging from Sc to $50 a
year. The Railroad will take it at
$500 a year. When families or BUSH
ness men once discover what a genu~
inc "luXury" and convenience it
would be to have water under suf-
ficient pressure to throw it anywhere
on their premises desired, it would
become necessity which they could
never dispense with afterward. II
would furnish cheap, reliable, safe
and effective power for fly fans, ven'
tillators, and light machinery of all
kinds. Honestly managed for the
dublic good water works can be made
to furnish all these advantages anG
bring in sufficient revenue to the city
to pay interest on their cost. Badly
managed of course the scheme car
be made burdensOme to tax payers
