SHRUBS AND WOODY VINES
Miss fuckers Talk Before Her Class at
the Natural History Rooms.

The subject for the consideration of
Miss Arabella H. fuckers class at the
Natural History rooms last week, which
may be characterized as "The present
aspect of the common shrubs and woody
vines" was very interestingly presented
and the abstract which follows may not
be unwelcome:
1t is not difficult matter to recognize
many shrubs and woody vines at this
season Of the year, before the leaves
have formed, by means Of remnants of
last years growths of seed vessels and
fruit stalks which still remain, buds and
bark. The spiraeaS-steeple- and
hardhack-may be known by the dried
pyramidal clusters which were SO pleas
ing to the eye last season in their shades
of rose and white. The witch-hazel, by
its calyxes which will hold the fruit
to form next summer, and Its old seed
vessels. No one can fail to recognize
the wild roses, for they still cling to
their prickles and scarlet fruit. The
sumachs are easily recognized-the
staghorns, by their large, dried clusters,
which were so beautiful last fall with
crimson fruit and velvet-hke stems; the
poison sumachs (dogwood and ivy), by
their dried, lead-colored berries. The
laurels, the mountain l. (high) the sheep
l. Qow) may be known by their ever
green leaves. The acorn cups of the
bear Scrub Or shrub oaks easily desig-
nate them. The evergreen, sharp-point-
ed leaves Of the upright and spreading
juniper vary little. except that they are
more or less Drowned; the same is true
Of the well-known ground hemlock. The
alder is known by its old fruit cones and
its long and short catkins. The fragrant
leaves still hang to the sweet fern,
which shows also its staminate and pis-
tillate catkins The blackberries-high
and low-are easily distinguished, the
former high and stiff, the latter pros
trate, both spiny. The cornels are still
bare, the kind known as the red ozier
having straight, red twigs; all have op-
posite buds except one species; they still
retain their fruit stalks. The elders
have begun to throw out their opposite,
compound leaves, but may have been
known still earlier by their grayish,
weak, large-jointed. pithy branches. The
willows are well marked by their
pussy catkins, those not so far adj
vanced, by their small, pointed buds
closely pressed to the stems The
straw-colored catkins now well mark the
hazel. The spice-bush is pretty now,
with its clustered sessile buds; it may be
further identified by the spicy taste of
It's bark. The shadbush may be known
| by its long, pointed buds. The huclxle-
berry by its homely, scraggly branches.
| The bayberry by it's gray berries en-
crusted with wax.
The shrubs having opposite leaves are
| the cornels Except one), the viburnums
| honeysuckles, mountain maple, elders,
laurels Except mountain laureD and
button-bush.

ToNIGHT's PLAYS.

Sol Smith Russell, who appears tonight
only at the Worcester Theatre, is probably
the greatest favorite among all the noted
comedians who annually visit our city
The homely vet noble type of character he
usually impersonateS seems to strike a re-
sponsiye chord in the breasts of his audi
tors, and gives him hold even upon those
who are not frequent patrons of the the
atre. 1t is always a matter of remark
that Mr.. Russell's audiences include many
faces which are never seen at the theatre
except when he appears. Martha Morton,
who is in high repute as a dramatist just
now, has supplied Mr.. Russell with a
play, "A Bachelors Romance" admirably
calculated to show the actor at his best,
and to give him ample facilities for bring
ing laughter or tears at Will.
The interesting lot of letter carrier and
the mysteries of behind the scenes in the
post office department, have been made the
theme of a strong and thrilling drama
known as Especial Delivery" which the
vivacious soubret, Maude Hillman, is to
present at Lothrop's the current week.
Miss Hillman is no stranger in the dra-
matte profession, although she is in Wor-
cester, and for several seasons has been a
popular and prosperous star throughout
the west George *. Robinson of this city
plays the villain in Miss Hillman's drama,
and is said to do it vigorously, but his
many friends here know him to be a royal
good fellow, in spite of the crimes that the
dramatist compels him to commit nightly

NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD.

A fact often overlooked, or not always
understood, is that women suffer AS much
from distressing kidney and bladder
troubles as the men. The womb is situa-
ted back of and very close to the bladder,
and for that reason any distress, disease
or inconvenience manifested-in the Kid
neys, back, bladder or urinary passage is
often by mistake, attributed to female
weakness or womb trouble of some sort.
The error is easily made and may be as
easily avoided by setting urine aside for
twenty-four hours; a sediment or set
tling is evidence that your kidneys and
bladder need doctoring. If you have
pain or dull aching in the back, pass wa
ter too frequently, or scanty supply, with
smarting OF burning-these are also con-
vincing proofs of kidney trouble. If
you have doctored without benefit, try
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
kidney remedy. The mild and the eX-
traordinary effect will surprise you. 1t
stands the highest for its wonderful
cures. If you take medicine you should
take the best. At druggists fifty cents
