ENGLISH PLANT NAMES.

They Recall One Rather Curious Habit
Of Oar Ancestors.
Our ancestors had a curious habit OF
connecting the names Of plants with,
those Of various well-known animals,
says Notes and Queries. Our present
habits are SO different that many
moderns are wholly unable to under.
stand this. To them such names as
foxgloye and harebel1 seem entirely.
senseless, and many efforts, more in
genious than we'll directed, have been
made to evade the evidence. Yet it is
easily understood. The names are
simply childish and such as children
would be pleased with. A child only
wants a pretty name, and is glad to
connect plant with more or less
familiar animal. This explains the
whole matter, and it is the reverse of
scientific to deny "a fact merely be-
cause we dislike or contemn it. This
is not the way to understand the
workings Of the human mind, on
which true etymology often throws
much unexpected light. It will be I'M
derstood that I can produce my evil
dence, but it is tedious from it's guam
tity. I therefore refer readers to the
glossary in the third volume Of Cock
ayne's t.Anglo-Saxon Leechdoms,
where the plant names and refer
ences are given in full. Cock
ayne includes some names, such
as cranes bill, which are not found in
Anglo-Saxon or middle English but ap-
pear in early printed herbals. These
pass over and mention only such as
are actually found in Anglo-Saxon or
early English. The following are ex-!

carrot; bridde-tunge, stellaria holostea;

It Hung Cor Several Hours over a.
Sick Woman's Bed.
An aged lady named Mrs. Summer
field has been crazed by the awful ex-
perience through which she went few
nights ago. Mrs. Summerfeld is, the
\ mother Of a wheat farmer living in
/ Vernon, Tex, and has been ill some
time with throat trouble, which has
nearly destroyed her voice. She was
attended to bed on the occasion mem,
toned by one Of her granddaughter
who, at the old lady's request, left the
lamp beside the bed burning brilliantly.
The house has newly been built and
is not quite completed, with the rafters
Of the roof still uncovered by any cell
ing. During the night the old ladys
eyes were attracted by some object
moving along one of these rafters, and
presently large bull snake thrust it's
ugly head over and hung there, looking
down at her. &5
She in all probability tried to sum-
mon some one, but owing to her Attic
ton was unable to make herself heard.
So, perhaps, for hours she lay with her
terrified eyes fixed on the hideous
shape overhead until overcome with
nervousness, and fear, her mind began
to wander. When found in the morn
ing she was unconscious, and it was
with difficulty that she was revived.
Her first motion was toward the rafter
just over her head, but this was thought
only part Of her delirium, until all
at once the snake ran down along the
rafter and then dropped down on the
bed. The old lady screamed loudly
and again tainted, and when she finally
regained consciousness it was seen that
her terror had completely unhinged her
intellect
During the day she seemed quiet
enough, but at the approach of night
became so frantic that it was neces-
sary to restrain her: The bull snake is
not venomous, but is formidable and
hideous enough to- inspire repugnance
in the strongest mind. On searching
the rafters Of his house MI. Summer
field; after his mothers fright, found
and dislodged no less than eighteen
snakes of several varieties. This is the
season Of their Information and they
seek the warmeSt spot at hand in
which to lie until spring. Unless mo-
Tested they are usually harmless at this
time, being too sluggish to move, and
can easily be killed; but near a fire they
thaw out and become aggressive if

trician, however, who not only thought
the plan of electrocuting whales feast
BILE, but built the dynamo and outlined
a plan by which it may be done. AS to
the method of application, the cap'n ex-
planned it as follows: II am going to
place the dynamo on the whaler and
not put it in operation until the whal-
ing grounds are reached. On board I
will have big reel Of heavily insu-
lated wire. The reel will be placed in
the smaller boat, in which we go out to
meet the whale. We shall have several
thousand feet of wire on the reel. One
end will be connected with the dynamo.
At the other end, which will be in the
smaller boat. will be hard rubber
stick about four feet in length. The
wire will run through that stick, so that
it may be handled easily and safely.
At the end of the stick will be attached
a piece of metal "a inches long and /
inch in diameter. The point Of that
needle will be sharp, so as to penetrate
the flesh of the whale easily. The hard
rubber stick and the big needle will be
used just as we use the harpoon to-
day. Well sight a whale and lower the
boat. The reel will be swung into the
boat and the dynamo started. The small
boat will go out to the whale, the har-
poon thrower in his usual position in the
bow. When near the big fish-as near
as we get in the old way-the harpoon-
er will throw the electric barb. At the
time there will be a current Of 10 900
volts running through the wire. When
the point Of the needle strikes the
whale a current connection will be
formed with the dynamo, and the
whale will get the full shock Of the
high voltage and be dead in the frac-
ton Of second"

CATCHING SHARKS.
Some Exciting Fishing That Was En-
joyed Near Hawaii


Lieut.. Coyne and some fifteen mem
#bers Of company 3 started out on a
steam launch a little after 10 a. N.
Sunday for the purpose Of doing what
they could with certain family Of
sharks reported to have been seen OUT
side the harbor, says the Pacific Com
mercial Advertiser. They stocked the
launch well. preparatory to an all-days
hunt.
Just outside the harbor unmistak-
able signs in the shape of several fms
were noticed projecting above the sur
race OF the water, and they made the
soldiers hair bristle with excitement,
q hook baited with large piece of
pork and attached to a heavy line was
thrown overheard. There was a bite
and pull, and before long good
sized shark was hauled along and filled
with rifle and revolver bullets. This
was excitement enough, but when,
after the line had been thrown over
again, another shark was captured in
the same manner, the men in the
launch could hardly remain, in their
places.
The line was cast overheard once
more, and soon there was tug that
caused a very burning sensation to
pass over the hands Of the four men
who held it. The launch was pulled
here and there by what seemed to be
a monster twice the size of the others.
This seemed to be proved when the
shark stuck its fin above water. At
this seven or eight bullets pierced the
head of the monster, and after a hard
fight, during which the launch was in
imminent danger of being capsized,
the prize was brought alongside and
towed with the other two to the Aloha
boathouse, where it was found to be

RECEIVERS CRITICIZED.
Chief of Telegraphers Arraigns the
Union PaeIIie Rseeivera

Omaha Neb.. Nov. 25.-Assistant
Grand Chief Dolphin of the telegra-
pliers has filed his answer to Solicitor
kelly's reply to his (DOlphin's) petit
ton in the matter of reducing the
wages of telegraphers and the dis
charge of Gilhiand as agent at Papil-
lion and the condition Of the hospital
fund. Dolphin severely criticises the
receivers in the matter of the hospital
trust fund. and also in the reduction Of
wages. Dolphin says that the receiv-
ers closed several stations and at 9th
ers took out the telegraph instruments
and also reduced the wages to a mini
mum. He says this is a mere pit
lance. and while the receivers reduced
the wages they did not reduce the
price of living.
The receivers claim that by taking
out the instruments they reduced the
work, but the petition denies this, and
says it increased the work, for, without
an instrument, If train was late. the
agent was compelled TO remain at the
office until it came. for he had no way
Of knowing how late it was or what
time it would arrive ait his station
The stations cited where the Teduc-
lions were made the greater with the
wages called for in the telegraph
schedule are: Rogers, So; Benton, S67;
Aida, s62 Boone, $40; Rockville. S45.
The reduction is alleged to be in direct
violation of the order of the court.

it is the intention of Mr.. Cleveland, on

an extensive tour abroad, encircling the
