PLACE NAMES.

Some Odd and Curious Names Of Places
In lIassachusetts.
In the Middlesex fells some good old
colonial names are preserved, like jim
glaierry hill and Shillyshally brook.
Spot pond was named by Governor
Winthrop, who discovered it in the win
ter, because of the many rocks that
showed through the ice and spotted the
surface. Powderhorn hill in Chelsea is
said to have been bought from the In
diars for hornful of powder.
The fact of misfortune to divers un-
known persons-whether trivial or great
does not appear-finds a record in Bad
Luck brook and swamp in Rehoboth,
Bad Luck mountain in Granville and
Bad Luck pond in Douglas. There may
be some association between Burncoat
brook and pond in Leicester and Spencer
and Burnshirt river, likewise in Worces-
ter county.
Drinkwater river is Il felicitous name
for a stream Of gcod water. It is in
Hanover, and possibly there may have
been family Of that name in the neigh
borhood. Strong Water brock in Tewks-
bury has quite different associations.
Sought For pond, in Westford, suggests
a long and bafled quest FOR the spot
through the Wilderness in the olden
days. One Ct the least euphonious of
names is skug river in Essex and Mid
dlesex counties. 1t is worthy a place
among such English names as Worn
wood Scrubs, a park in London.
The legend about the names Of the
group of islands on tho south coast pre-
sonts an instance Of how fancied rosem-
blances give rise TO stories. 1t is related
that these islands once belonged to a
man with four daughters. To Nancy,
the Oldest, tho father gave the firsi
choice, and the fact that MAN took it,
is recorded in the name of Nantucket
/ the island she selected. Nantucket, ui
course. is in reality an Indian name
Martha's Vineyard and the Elizabeth
/ islands went to Martha and Elizabeth
respectively, while for the fourth daugh
ter, whose name has been lost to mem
ory. there was nothing left but the mos
remote and undesirable Of tho group
which was called No Mans Land, be
cause its owner was a woman. Thi
Elizabeth islands, in fact, were named
for Queen Elizabeth by Bartholomew
GosnolG, their discoverer, whose mans
has been given to tho town that com
prises them. Boston Transcript

FORESTRY.

The time for argument as to the add
vantages Of tree-planting seems to be
over in this country. II is admitted
very generally that it should be done
and it is an honor to the western por-
tion OF our country, where it has been
entered into so fully, and shows the
practical sense of the people.
The state Of Minnesota has a forestry
act for the encouragement of tree
planting, which is working success
fully. The state pays a bounty of $3.50
per acre planted with trees. limiting
the amount to be paid to one person to
$25 annually for six consecutive years.
The appropriation for 1896 was $40 900.
and there were so many claimants that
the bounty had to be scaled at $2.25 an
acre. The general average Of each
claimant this year is FIVE acres, and the
total acreage planted during the year
Is S68S. In one county, 1896 acres
were planted, in another SIT. and in 2
third 727. Thirty-;wo other counties
report lesser acreage, showing thai
bounty encouraged tree culture is quit,

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
WHY SEATS IN THE SENATE ARE
SOUGHT.


The office Of United States senator
fixes a mans present prominence in
public affairs, and it is undoubtedly
very considerable. 1t depends upon the
man himself how far it shall go beyond
this. Some men have risen to perma-
nent eminence through their connec-
tion with that body; others have passed
into early forgetfulness; others, still
Nave left 2 reputation that they woulu
be glad to have forgotten. The dig
nifty that doth hedge a senator is les
sened In Importance for more than the
passing period by the fact that the men
who have held that position are not all
Websters and Clays and Calhouns, and
Stewards and Summers If there is regret
that unworthy senator's are later
chosen. there is also no need to take
the Fact too seriously There are un-
fortunate contingencies in politics con-
stanJly. but it is hardly worth while to
magnify their importance.-Bost

rHE ARRITRATIoN TREATY.

THE ARBITRATION TREATY
The new treaty for arbitration be-
tween this country and Great Britain is
being very largely discussed through
out the country. Naturally the focus |
for this consideration is in Washington
where, unfortunately for fair deliber-
alton Of the matter, politics have en-
tered largely into it. The opponents to
the treaty may be divided into three
classes. First, those who do not be-
lieve in arbitration as means for set
Ting international disputes and prefer
war; second. those who think that the
terms of the treaty are not favorable to
this country; and third, those who be-
lieve that nothing good can come out
Of the present administration, and from
this illogical conclusion insist that the
treaty must be wrong.
The first of the classes named are the
fire-caters and jingoists of the country,
who would like TO see us in perpetual
war, for what they consider the glory
of the country, without rhyme or rea-
son. Anything that looks like a peace
full solution of international difficulties
therefore, meets their opposition. The
second class of opponents to the treaty
base their opposition on broader
grounds, and, if they are not controlled
by partisanship, deserve to be heard,
for it is a matter of the utmost import
ance whether the treaty is favorable or
not TO this country. Their reason for
this belief is grounded upon an opinion
that Lord Salisbury is a greater diplo-
mat than Secretary of State Olney.
Now, we would submit that if Mr.. Oh
ney has established any fact in his dip
lomatic career, It is that he is fully
competent to take care of his side in
any argument between this govern
ment and that Of her majesty, Queen
Victoria.
OF the third class of opposers to the
treaty. there need be nothing said, as
they are not open to confinement.
They are like the man who. convinced
against his will is Of the same opinion
still"
Sensible. thinking people will be-
lieve that the treaty possesses merit
enough upon its face to deserve a fair
trial, and only by that can it be
judged. Judgment based on prejudice
is not entitled to consideration. This
treaty, whatever its faults may prove
to be, is unquesionably a step in the
right direction, and it deserves to be
judged outside Of partisanship and
given fair trial. Not until this is
done can we tell which got the better of
the other-Lord Salisbury or Mr.. Olney.
--------
Straws show which way the wind
blows. There is a remarkable good
feeling existing between the present
administration and Major Mckinley.
President Cleveland is said to be in
structing his successor as to the policy
the government is pursuing regarding
our foreign relations, and the latter ap-
preciates the courtesy. Result: John
Sherman is to be our next premier
Can anyone doubt that he has been ap.
proved By Grover Cleveland?
