The "Crucihxion Plant"

Those versed in plant and flower lore
say that the celebrated ''plant of CAL
vary" was unknown in the fora of the
world prior 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 it is
now known is a 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 a 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 il ID
known all over Europe. AT present the
three round, green leaves Of the plant
each have a carmine spot in the center,
which looks for all the world like a drop
of blood. During the day the three leaves
stand erect, the two side ones laterally
taking on almost the exact form of a
cross. During the season a small yellow
flower appears, its form and makeup re.
minding most s~tartlingly of the crown OF
thorns.-St. Louis Republic.

It's True

It is truly surprising what erroneous
ideas are entertained blythe 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. It 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 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.

The pumpkin pie was made. Tho crisp
crust was rolled out by the beautiful
hands Of the dear old lady, who was
careful not to Let the tears that rolled
down her cheeks drop On it.
The same evening the homely mules
trotted briskly to the hospital.
1t was a terrible thing she was about
to do.
She went again to the surgeons Office.
Again she asked, Doctor, is there no
hope for that poor Yankee boy?'
Madam, / can do nothing more. He
will be dead before morning" was the
answer.
Quickly but resolutely she made her
way to the couch of death. She dis
missed the nurse and took her seat. After
awhile the boy opened his eyes, and she
held out a slice of the pumpkin pie.
He opened his mouth, and she broke
the pie into bits and fed him, weeping
quietly the while. When the slice was
finished, his hollow eyes seemed to de-
your her as he murmured, "More."
She hesitated a moment, and then
whispering God forgive mel" she gave
him q second slice.
He closed his eyes, and she watched
him until no breathed regularly. and
then she quickly stole away. She felt
as a murderer must feel, but she could
not make up her mind to watch her VIC
tim dying.
At home once more, the dear old lady
locked herself in her room.
Early the next morning those mules
again trotted briskly to the hospital.
The nurse reported that her patient
had slept quietly all night. While the
old lady looked a~nxiously down on his
wasted form, he opened his eyes and said
in a strong voice. Where's the other
section Of that pumpkin pie?"
Collins were very scarce in the confed-
eracy, and the hospital steward congrat-
ulated himself that the surgeon was mis-
taken when he said that the Yankee boy
would die.-Lylie o. Harris in New Or

The Use of the Adjective .oId.-

Some one has noted that the adjective
applied by college graduates and stu
dents to their alma mater ID always
'.old." 1t is "told Harvard, '.old Yale"
"old Dartmouth" and one enthusiastic
admirer and attendant at the University
of Chicago has been heard to refer to
certain rules of that institution as "a
way we have at old Chicago" There is
certainly an affection conveyed by the
word "old" that no other adjective car
ries, and like the terms OF address ''old
man. or '.old boy" it signifies that low
ing familiarity with which every one re-
CARDS his college home.-Boston Journal.

Arentzen, q maker of fireworks, his
father and a boy who lived with Aren't
zen. were killed during the afternoon
by an explosion of fireworks, and the
building in which Arentzen lived and
in which he had his workshop were
burned. Neigbors saw flames coming
out of the Arentzen house and an alarm
was turned in. Those nearby rushed
over to save what they could. When
the firemen had subdued the flames
they began to search the interior of the
house, where they stumbled over the
bodies of the two men and boy. From
their position it was hard to say
whether they had been burned to death
by an explosion of the material with
which they were working or had been
suffocated by the smoke.
