THE LILY OF THE VALLEY.
Folklore of This Plant, Which Belongs to
the Same Family as Solomon's Seal.


This is one of the plants long held in es-
timation by common people before the pres
ent methods of forcing them for use as
winter flowers The name of the plant,
convallaria, comes from Latin word
meaning growing in the valley. The plant
called Solomons Seal, native OF our
woods. belongs to the same family. and
gets it's English name. Solomon's seal, on
account of its fleshy roots being full OF
knots, which when cut obliquely are figured
with veins, having somewhat the appear
ance of seal; others say on account of
the seallike mark left where the shoot
grows out from the stem after it has died
away.
While the normal color of the lily of the
valley is white, it has been known to come
red. There are also kinds with double flow
ers. With such old favorites folklore is
certain to be associated. Thus in the forest
of St Leonard, Sussex, n legend runs that
the plant sprung up from the blood of st.
Leonard, who once encountered a mighty
worm, or fire drake" in tNo forest, engag-
ing with it for three successive days. Even
tualy, of course, the saint came off vic
torious, but not without being seriously
wounded and wherever his blood was Shed
there sprang up lilies of the valley in PRO
fusion.
Old Culpeppcr says in his time it was
called conval lily, male lily and lily con
stancy. 1t was under the dominion of
Mercury, and therefore it strengthened the
brain, recruited the memcry and made it
strong again. The distilled water, dropped
into the eyes, helped infrmity there, as also
that inlirmity which they call a pin and
web. "Gerrard saith that if the flowers are
close topped up in glass, put into an ant
hill, and taken away again amonth after, ye
shall find liquor in the glass, which be-
ing outwardly applied, helps the gout."
Such, as summed up by The Prairie
Farmer, is the history of this little plant
which once cut quite figure in the simples
of ruder age.

A neat illustration of the value of adj
vertising money wisely expended was
given at Portland Young Mems Christ
ian Association meeting, when the gen.
eral secretary stated that he had some
curiosity to know what method of adver-
tising reached the most people. He had
circulated thousands of little dodgers,
giving notice of the meeting, and he
asked those who had seen them, and had
been moved to come through that means,
to rise. The hall was packed as full as
It could hold, and of the entire number
about fifteen arose. Then he asked all
who had read the notice in the newspa-
pers, and had been influenced by them,
10 rise. and the men rose in body

Comptroller Eckels Trusts the Day
VIII Come when the Question OF
Our Monetary Laws VIII be Treated
in the Light Of a Business Issue.
PROVIDENCE, R. l., April 1S.--The Hon
James Eckels, comptroller of the currency,
was the principal speaker at the annual
banquet of the Bank Clerks Mutual Benefit
association in the Trocadero this evening,
Hon. Samuel N. Aldrich, president of the
State National bank, President q. s Curtis
of the Old Boston bank and local banking
men also spoke.
Mr.. Eckels, after referring to the part
played by the banks Of the country during
the trying crisis of last year, dwelt upon
the currency question, and concluded ss
follows: "The monetary standard which
we should maintain ought to be the very
highest the world knows, so that wherever
an American may be the dollar which his
government has issued or authorized
shall be given full faith and credit tho
world over. I trust the day will soon
come when every question bearing upon
our monetary laws shall be treated In the
light of business issue, and not as po-
litical one; with regard to its effect upon
the material interests of the country rather
than with reference to Its political bearing.
When the day is reached there need be lit
tie fear of any citizen yielding to the clam
oIs of the advocate of money, cheap and
plenty, or of a money of such uncertain
value as to stand a menace to the prosperi-
~ and credit of the people.
Heretofore, In every contest waged be-
tween the advocates Of q money cheap and
plenty, and one whose intrinsic or con-
vertible worth is under any and all cir
cumstances of the value which it purports
to be, the common honesty and common
sense of the people have made them in the
crucial test the sdherents of those who
have stood for the right. Such has been
their position in the past, and such, 1 be-
lieve, will be their position in the future"

DETROIT, kpril 18.-Trouble has been
brewing between the water board and the
Polish laborers engaged to lay the pipe ex-
tension east of the water works, near Con-
nor's Greek, four miles from the city, over
the question of wages. These men were
quarrelsome yesterday and refused to go
to work themselves or allow anyone else to
do 30, but no serious outbreak occurred.
At = o'clock this morning more than 500
men, carrying pickaxes and spades, were
patrolling the road. Four policemen were
sworn in az deputy sherifs and force of
eighteen men were put to work. The
strikers threatened to kill the first man
who dared attempt to do any work, and
when one of the men, more daring than
his fellow workmen, jumped into the ditch
he was savsgely assaulted. The handful
of deputies were overpowered and the
strikers were left in possession for the time
being.
At 10 O'Clock Sheriff Collins was tele-
phoned for and hurried to the scene, tax
ing with him half dozen deputies. AT.
| ter a conference with the water board
| about noon, 1t was decided to abandon the
| work for the day and then the clash came.
| When Engineer Williams attempted tt
| withdraw his men peacefully the strikers
| became furious and made an onslaught OF
one of them,
Sheriff Collins ordered the mob to dis
l perse, threatening to shoot If the order wss
not obeyed. The mob, however, continued
the attack. Then the sheriff ordered hi
posse to fire. He suited the action to tn,

Gymna 81 um.
There have been a number of thefts In
the Yale gymnasium within short time,
and the students are becoming. decidedly
anxious about the safety of their property.
The thief seems to have made a study of
this kind of work, for as yet there has
not been the least clue given to his iden-
tity. Last week two watches were stolen
and yesterday F. !. Jansen, Shelf.
junior, lost his gold watch and s. bill
Most of the thefts are made at hours when
there are few persons about the Gym,
and the thief mu.t watch his man care
fully to see that he does not return sud
denly. In every case the things have been
taken from lockers that were left locked 4,
and nothing but money and watches are
taken, the thief removing the contents of
the pocket ooks and putting them care
fully back. Valuables left outside and
near the lockers that have been opened, are
not touched. In spite of the most careful
search only one watch has ever been recov-
cred, the thief evidently sending his spoils
out of town.
