The "Crucifixion Plant"

Those versed in plant and flower lore
say that the celebrated 'plant of Cal
vary" WIS unknown in the fora of the
world pior to the date of the crucifiXion
of Jesus. According to the tradition,
the original plant sprang up in the track
made by PLATE when he went to the cross
for the purpose of placing that infamous
"title" over the head of him of whom the
Jews said, "Say that he called himself
King of the Jews" The plant as il is
now known is common trefoil resem-
bling the common clover in many partic-
ulars, especially in its peculiarities Of
growth. There is but little doubt that in
truth it was originally native of Turkey
or India, but Christians who discredit the
story of its miraculous origin still claim
that its native home is Palestine.
Under the name of Calvary clover it is
known al over Europe. At present the
three round, green leaves of the plant
each have carmine spot in the center,
which looks for all the world like drop
of blood. During the day the three leaves
stand erect, the two side ones laterally
taking on almost the exact form of
cross. During the season small yellow
flower appears, its form and makeup re-
minding most startlingly of the crown of
thorns.-St. Louis Republic.

Its True Derivation.

1t is truly surprising what erroneous
ideas are entertained by the general pub
lie concerning the true meaning of many
terms in general use. A striking exam
pie Of this is the word "terne' as applied
to tin plate. Usually it is understood
that this word is derived from the French
one, meaning dull" This is totally in
correct. Terne plate is a sheet or plate
Of iron and steel covered with an alloy
Of tin and lead in the proportion Of two
thirds lead and one-third tin. 1t is this
union of the three metals-iron, lead and
tin-that gave rise to the word terne
plate, terne being an equivalent to the
English tern, meaning 'threefold." The
origin of the erroneous definition Of this
term was the fact that because of the
large percentage of lead used in coating
terne plates it is duller in hue than the
ordinary tin plate, which is frequently
designated bright plate in contradis-
tinction to the former.-House Furnish
ing Review.

Objections to a Brave Soldier.

None of his answers was satisfactory.
When the report reached President Lin

paper on his desk, then taking one gaunt
knee in his hands said: Il don't know
what to do with this case. Here's a
young fellow who knows nothing Of the
science Of losing battles. He doesn't even
know the technical name of the fortiica-
ton on which he ran up the stars and

AS soon as the committee has pre-

will be public, and everything will be
conducted as in any other court. city
Attorney Simpson will appear for the
municipality and will virtually conduct
the prosecution. Chief Runge will no
doubt be allowed TO appear by an attor-

scented by f. +. Davis. Should others
beside Runge be included i'll the i'm

WICKED IN THE WEST.
Eastern Baptists Mortified by
Some OF Their Western
Brethren.
Trouble With Many People In
Washington Is That They Are

DENVER, COL, May 29.-The Ameri-
can Baptist Home Mission society, the
last of the anniversaries, was called to
order by President Porter, of Pennsyl-
vania, at $50 o'clock, who i'm
mediately delivered his annual ad-
dress, which was followed by that of
the executive board and the treasurer.
During the year there was collected
from all sources s473.S42, of which there
was expended SAT-, 491. "Pioneer Home

paper read by Rev. DR.. D. d. Woods,

responses this afternoon by elo-
quent divinss from Kansas, Nebraska,
South Dakota, Montana, Washington,
Oregon, Utah, California and Okla

in each case limited to seven minutes,
it was found that the growth OF the
church since the last annual meeting
had been most gratifying. Eastern
delegates could not help but quietly
smile at the manifest attempt
of each speaker to BOOM his
particular section. but they were fairly
Mortified when Rev. d. ID. Proper, of
Seattle, WASH, said that the trouble
with too many people in his part of the
country was that they were "tOo much

so marked on the faces of his auditors

THE ROYAL COMMISSION
Looks Over the Liquor Problem
in MinneanOlis.

Looks Over the Liquor Problem
in Minneapolis.
The temperance problem is live
question in Canada at present. Some
time ago royal commission
was appointed to investigate ali
known methods of dealing with
the liquor traffic. This commission
has visited all the provinces in the
Dominion, and have been doing the
United States during the past two
months. Yesterday the commission
reached Minneapolis. The gentlemen
composing it are: Sir Joseph Hickson,
Hor. G. A. Gigault. Judge H. S.
Mcdonald. of Brockville, Ont: Rev.Dr.
Mcleod, Fredericton. N. B.; Albert
Horton. Toronto; L. Il. Kribs, repre-
senting the liquor traffic, and f. S.
Spencer the prohibition element. All
but the two frst-named called upon
Mayor Eustis yesterday afternoon.
When the mayor had explained his
method of dealing with the liquor
problem in this city the committee in
dorsed it enthusiastically. They stated
that it was the best method they
had yet seen in operation. The
feature of making a saloonkeeper
establishment was something they had
not seen anywhere else or even
dreamed of. The gentlemen returned
to st. Paul. where they are stopping,
but will make this city another visit
either today or tomorrow.
In a conversation with GLOBE re-
porter, a member of the commission
said that they had so far visited Kansas,
California, Nebraska and Iowa. They
had found that wherever there is a
prohibitory law it is absolute
ly necessary to have public
opinion back of it to accomplish any
good. Otherwise the law is dead let
ter. 1t was found that in the interior of
Iowa, for instance, public opinion ia
vored the law, and it was consequently
enforced with beneficial results, while
in large cities public sentiment does not
uphold the measure and it is openly
violated.
After leaving Minnesota the commits
sion will go to the Eastern states. They
have also been in cores pondence with
the Norwegian government, which has
assumed direct control of the liquor
traffic. After the commission has fin
iShed its investigation and reported, the
Canadian government will proceed to
deal with the temperance question after
the most approved fashion.
