Some Flower-Names.

Words that Serve to Show the Haunt or
the Characteristic of the Plant.
In the June st. Nicholas there is an ar
tlcle on ''Flower- Names" by Ella F. Mos
by. The author says:
There is many flowers name that
gives us quaint bit of history or folk
lore, or flashes upon us charming glimpse
OF its haunts and associates Saxifrage.

vlvldly picture Of the places-the gray
clefts or crevices of the rocks-where we
lind its modest white flower. Rosemary.
named from the Latin words meaning dew
or spray of sea, tells us of salt sea marshes
sprinkled with the pale purple blooms.
Most of our authorities derive the mari
gold from "Mary's gold," and it is so
named in herbal, or book about plants.

Other names give some striking charac-
tertistic of the plant ITSELF as phlox, sig

color; and the anemone is the wind flower.
swaying, dancing, bending at every breath
Of the wind Pliny tells pretty story
that it's buds open at the winds call The
woodbine, or wood bind, is named from
rs clinging growth. Shakespeare seems
fond OF the woodbine, and makes Beatrice
hide herself in "woodbine couverture.'
Plantain and plane-tree are from a word
meaning broad; and tulip is derived from
the Eastern word for turban its silken
texture and gaily colored stripes suggest
ing the Oriental covering for the head.
The gladiolus Qittle sword) is so called
probably from its sharp, sword shaped
leaves; and the eglantine (diminutive Of
the French aigWUe), from its piercing
needle like thorns. Cocoanut is from the
Spanish coco, or bugbear, descriptive of
the queer, impish little face at the base of
the hairy nut Nasturtium, which means
nose tWlster, gives picture of the per-
son smelling the blossom and involunta-
rily comforting his features from the sting
ing and pungent odor. Pink introduces
us to a group of words that at first sight
seem very oddly i'll Matched for this
daintily edged flower gets its name pink
from the Dutch verb pinken, to pick out
with sharp instrument, as border is
pinked in notched scallops for decoration.
Charming pictures are given by the ''sun-
dew with its sparkling leaves; ''the
Daisie, or else the eye Of the day. as
Chaucer calls it, from its habit of open
ing at dawn; and the asters are the
''stars' of the field.
The exquisite blue speedwel and the
reckoning sprays of travellers joy seem to
fling us greetings from meadow and hedge
row. The bright little heartsease breaches
content, and there is sort of moral in the
rough brushwood and tangled vines (la-
brusca) and the kindred adjective brusque.
The old word teasen meant to card wool,
and hence we get both 'tease," which is
a rubbing up the fur in a wrong direction,
to speak figuratively; and teasel, prickly,
thistle-like plant whose flower heads,
when dry, are sometimes used for raising
the nap on wooden cloth.

Few men in Detroit Real Estate Circles

MIR. Trout has reason to believe in the
potency Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills. and
he does not hesitate to say so.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills saved the life

Blhousness, dyspepsia, loss of appetite,
disturbed sleep, nervousness, headache
giddiness and drowsiness, wind and pain
or fullness of the stomach after meals, cold
chills and fushings of heat, shortness of
breath-these are the blank cheques of
physical bankruptcy. Take them to a
physician and he will fill them up with the
name of some more or less serious disease
Every time that you carry one of them to
him you draw out some of your funds in
the Bank of Health Keep it up, and there
will soon be no funds in the treasury.
The man who suffers from these dis
orders and negiects them will soon be in
the relentless grasp of some fatal disease.
If he is naturally narrow chested and shall
low lunged, it will probably be consump-
ton; if his father or mother died of par
alysis or some nervous trouble, it will
probably be nervous exhaustion OF prostra-
ton, or even insanity; if there is a faint in
the family blood, it will be blood or skin
disease; if he lives in new or low
swampy country, it will be malaria; if he
lives life of exposure, it MAY be rheu-
nlatism. There is just one safe course for
man to follow who finds himself out of
sorts and suffering from the symptoms
described. 1t is to resort to DR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. This medicine
makes the appetite keen, corrects all dis
orders of the digestion, renders assimila-
ton perfect, 1nvigorates the liver, purihes
and enuches the blood and builds firm
healthy flesh and nerve tissue 1t cures
almost all diseases that result from insult

There are many candidates for the Office
one is Arthur Lyman, who is a cashier in the
Minneapolis Office with the title of deputy col
lector, who was a candidate for the office of
collector himself, but was defeated owing to
the rivalry between himself and Diment of
Owatonna. Lyman still retains his legal resi-
dence in the first district, so that Congress
man Tawney had to deal with two aspirants
for the same Office. Both Lyman and Diment
row want some solace for their wounds and
it is said that the former expects to get it
at the SUPPORT OF Minneapolis.
But Lyman not only retains his legal resi-
dence in the first district. but actually lives
in st. Paul while holding down his Mime
apolis job. The law creating the SUPPORT
provided that the collector must reside at
Minneapolis Ii he were appointed. Lyman
would have TO move over from st. Paul and
abandon all claims on the first district. He
might do that, but there will be a tremendous
roar from Minneapolis If the position Is not
given to a local man. Lymans present place
pays $500, and the place he is after now
occupied by Col. Henion, pays 50, 600 besides
having considerable more honor and author
ity.
1t is said that Mr. Peterson will leave the
final decision in the matter to Senators Mel
son and Davis, though Congressman Fetch
er's advice may be asked.

appalling death that still threatens inno-
cent men. 1t is slow and lingering death
from consumption. One-sixth of the hui
man race die from this relentless enemy of
humanity. Probably no subject connected
with health is so important and so little
understood as the conservation of vital
force The human organism is a wonderful
machine, and is so constructed that if ex-
haustive draughts are made upon the vital
forces during youth and middle life, the
mechanism responds for the time, but at the
expense of its future usefulness. The man
who overworks or exhausts himself day
after day is constantly overdrawing his
store of vital force. Finally the fnechan-
ism of supply breaks down and the man
becomes a physical bankrupt The me-
chanisn of supply in a man is his stomach.
There the food is transformed into vital
force If the stomach is weak and the di-
gestion impaired, the body ceases to re-
Ceive and store up vital force. If the
draught is continued, consumption or some
other equally fatal disease is the result.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is a
great producer of vital force. 1t enables
man TO daily store up energy to do almost
any amount of work or stand any amount
of exposure. 1t does its work through the
stomach. 1t makes the weak stomach
strong. It facilitates and increases the
flow of digestive juices. 1t promotes and
perfects the assimilation of all the life
giving elements of the food 1t Is the
great blood maker and flesh builder.

writes: " 1 can heartily recommend DR.. Pierce's

Another Month Allowed to Complete
Organization Plans.


The reorganization committee of the
Allemannia bank was granted another
month yesterday, within which to COM
ply with the requirements of the inter-
locutory order of the district court The
chief requirement of the order Is that
the bank must have an unimpaired
capital stock Of 100000 before it will
be permitted to reopen.
The committee has not yet raised the
necessary cash, and another continu-
ance was therefore requested, when the
matter came before Judge Willis at
special term yesterday.
G.. M Nelson, the attorney for Albert
Scheffer, representing the reorganiza-
ton committee, after informing the
court that the committee had not as
yet fully complied with the terms Of
the order, said that the committee had
obtained subscriptions to the capital
stock to the amount of So, S91. 25. pay

to subscribe to the amount of $4,S95.

time was needed than the order origi-

Some delay had also been occasioned
in arranging with the proper officials
for the adjustment of the city and
county Indebtedness, and Mr. Nelson
thought an agreement would be entered
into with the city and county similar to
that in the case of the West Side bank.
All the details could be perfected with
in a month, and $4,000 more in SUBJ

Judge Willis stated that, under the
circumstances, an extension of a month
was not unreasonable, and the further
consideration Of the matter was post
