The exposure to all sorts and condi.
lions of weather that a lumberman is
called upon to endure in the camps often
produces severe colds which, if not
promptly checked, result in congestion
or pneumonia. J. O. Davenport,
ex-manager of the Fort Bragg Redwood
company, an immense institution at Fort
Bragg, CAL, says they sell large quaint
ties of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy at
the company's store and that he has him
self used that remedy for a severe cold
and obtained Immediate relief. This
medicine prevents any tendency of the
cold toward pneumonia and insures a
prompt recovery. For sale by John

The question of additional fast
trains between Chicago and Mil
waukee, and the Inauguration of a
system offast or two-hour trains from
Milwaukee to Chicago, for the coming
summer, is under reconsideration by the
officials of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul road, and it is said that the
probability is that the company will
put on, May l next, several two hour
trains each way. At present there
are but two trains which run from
Chicago to Milwaukee in two hours or
less, and those are the fast mail,
making the run in one hour and
forty-five minutes, and the regular
train which leaves Chicago at P. M.
and reaches Milwaukee at 5.

THE INCOME TAX.
Time for Making Returns Extended to
April 10.

Time for Making Returns Extended to
April 10.
M. F. Blumenfeld, collector of in
ternal revenue for the Western Wis
consin district, and his Office force are
deeply engaged just now by the COM
plications arising through preparation
for the income tax collection. The time
within which to make returns has.been
extended from March ! to April Is, q
resolution to that effect having recent
Iy passed congress. This was done for
the accommodation of taxpayers. A
large number of blanks have been sent
out by the collector force, but persons
not receiving them who might come
within the bounds of the law should
apply for them. Failure to make re-
turns by April Is is punishable by a
penalty of so per cent. increase IN tax.
whether the party is notified or not.
All persons who receive over $500
must make return, but a tax is paid
only on the excess over $4,000. and
those who net less than 81 ,OO0annually
pay no tax. The tax on the income
over $4,000 is2 per cent. Corporations,
however, pay per cent. tax on all
their profits.
After April Is the revenue officers
will make thorough canvass of the
district to find delinquents, who will
then have to pay 80 per cent. additional
for their neglect.
Far-reaching as the new law is, many
whom it does not affect will be dis
appointed to know that it will not
enable them to find out just how much
their neighbors are worth. The re-
turns will not be open to public in
spection, and penalties are provided
for revenue officers who shall divulge
any information concerning the income
of any person or corporation.
The collector Or deputy may increase
the amount of any list or return, if he
has reason to believe the same is I'm
derstated. He may also, under GER
tain conditions, make the returns him
self from the best information deriv-
able. Severe penalties are provided
for fraudulent returns.

Where Lightning Strikes More Than
Twice.
NEW KENT, VA.


To The Editor Of tho Dispatch:
on tract Of land in New Kent, on
the Pamunkey river, owned by u. a.
Patterson, there * about one acre OF
land surrounded by trees. OF which light
ming has struck fifteen or twenty trees
not over 100 yards apart. lightning
strikes almost anywhere sometimes but
no one about here has ever kno~n OF u
striking as many times in such an area.
Please explain the cause and oblige
SUBSCRIBER.
While our knowledge Of electricity has
largely increased in late years, we have
not come TO know much moro than
formerly about the lightning. Many OF
its phenomenas are still TO be designated
as freaks of lightning" A a matter
Of fact, the lightning often strikes at or
near the same place at which 1t has
struck before. Indeed. 1t would seem
natural that the same causes, as OF eie-
walton, or good conducting power, or
what not that led TO the first strike
might fairly be expected at some time
or other 10 lead TO another And, more
over, our correspondent does not make
il clear but that many of these trees may
have been struck at the Same time.

Whence Comes the Name of Canada

To the Editor OF the New York sun:
sir.-The origin Of the word Canada has
puzzled the wits OF phllOlogists for more
than two hundred years. Archbishop
Trench. when preparing matter for his
interesting book ION the Study OF Words
addressed TO men Of letters residing IN
Canada inquiries as to the origin Of the
name Of the country. Many answers were
received. but all were rejected az absurd
or conjcctural. Trench refers TO the word
on page l53 of his book as follows: zone
might suppose that a name like Canada.
given, and within historic times. to a
vast territory. would be accounted for,
but 1t IL not"
Here Is an account OF how Canada OBJ
tanned its name which ! copied several
years ago from n book in the library of
Sir Casimir Gzousky. Toronto.
"The origin OF the name Canada r. GU
ri0us enough. The SRanlards visited the
country previous 10 the French. and made
particular searches for gold and silver;
and finding none. they often said 'aqui

departure OF tho Spnniards the French
arrived: nnd the Indians, who wanted
none of their company. supposing they

errand, and were anxious 10 inform them
that their labor was lost by tarrying in
that country, necessarily repeated the
Spanish phrase, 'aqui NADIA

Spanish as the Indians. supposed this con

make but feeble growth. Can you name
cause and give remedy. r. 7. ID.
The leaves show a severe case OF apple
rust. This Is fungus disease. which
spends the winter on cedar trees in the
form OF gals. OF light-brown color. and
In the spring appears In the form OF cedar
apples. These cedar apples mature spores,
which are borne by the wind TO the apple
tree or some allied tree. where they lodge
on the leaves. The spores ere long pro-
duce dscolorations on the upper surface,
and these soon develop into orange colored
spots. In a week or two cup-like bodies
appear In the centre Of these spots. which
are filed with spores; somewhat later
there appear from the same spot, but on
the under side OF the leaf, larger. cup
shaped bodies filed with rows OF spores.
These spores find their way back to the
cedar and here again begins the cycle
above described.
When the rust IL abundant II does con-
siderable damage. the leaves turning yell
low and falling to the ground. The only
known method OF preventing the spread OF
this disease is TO cut down and destroy
adjacent cedar trees. or, II such a thing
be possible, TO collect and destroy the
cedar apples
