What Plant Names Indicate.

The botanical names OF plants are
often, when understood, interesting
topics for study. For example: Our
Towering maple, abutilon, is from an
Arabic name for an allied plant. An
other, called abuta, is native name for
a plant from Cayenne. Achimenes i:
from two words meaning to suffer from
cold, the plants all being very tender.
Acorus, the flags, is au allusion to the
eyes from its medicinal properties. b.
biana is from Dutch word for baboon,
the bulbs being eaten by balloons. Briza,
or the quaking grass, means to nod and
is expressive of all the family. Campo
nula, meaning bell, has reference to the
shape of the flower. Capsicum is from
kapto, to bite, which relates to its hot
fruit, and carex to cut, because the leaves
of many species have their margins mi.
nutely serrated these will cut the hand if
drawn rapidly through them. Diauthus
for the pinks is name for the flowers
given as long ago as the time of the
Romans, and means the divine flower,
from the exquisite fragrance of the bios.
SONS of most species, as we'll as from
their unrivaled neatness and brilliancy.
A large number of plants are named in
honor of some botauist or person of re-
pute in horticulture. Magnolia, fuchsia,
begonla, camellia and indeed most OF
those ending with the "ia," are such
names. The second, or specific mama is
more often descriptive of the particular
species, as elongata, elongated; coccinea,
scarlet; matutina, morning; maculata,
spotted; rubra, reddish; ciliosa, hair
friuged. Chicago Times.

Brands Used on a Cattle Range.

The cattle all over the West, says 8
Fort Worth (Texas) correspondent, are
identified by brands burnt into the sides.
TANKS or shoulders of the cattle and
horses. These brands are recorded in
county aud State offices and with the
various cattle associations. Inspectors
are placed by public aud private organ
izations at the principal stock yards and
shipping points ready to seize any ami
NAL in any car load for which the ship.
per cannot show a clean bill OF SAFE.
Every cattle company and each small
farmer is obliged to have his recorded
brand if he wishes to own a single head
of stock.
"Look at this" said Mr.. Barnes, pro.
ducing an illustration of all the brands
in common use on the Wyoming range.
"This was furnished to all of US as .
guide when we got on the range to assist
us in the work of identifying stolen cat
tie. How many brands do you see there
that could not be altered by a little in
genmty to resemble some other brand in
the lista OF course the rustler, when
he changes brand, must make one
which resembles some other registered
brand, or he could not get rid of the
cattle. When it is impossible for him
to make such a change he resorts to the
methods OF celebrating the old brands
altogether and then burning any new
one he wants. They have Invented the
flat-iron brand, designed to cover over
aud burn out any small letters. A Ge-
MUS among them invented the spade
brand, which consisted of heating q
spade and slapping it against the ami
malls side. 1t did the work. The in
ventor had sudden attack of diphthe.
ria and died before he could get his
boots off, but his works do survive
him."
ais there no brand incapable of i'm
itation or obliteTation"
az never saw but one. You will find
it in that printed list. It is on all the
cattle OF big herder, named Baird. The
letters are both wide and tall and cover
one side of an animal from head to tail.
They look like a circus poster. Mr..
Baird has never lost any cattle. l told
him he was spelling his hides. Il can
afford to throw away the hides to keep
the cattle, said he."
