The present session of legislature
will prove to be unsatisfactory and
expensive, because the members
have no important issue upon
which to work, and so the old
adage about Satan and mischief
and idle hands will prove true.
The present active membership of
these bodies cannot but do some
thing.

PLANTS THAT SLEEP.

Plants sleep as truly as do animals. The best-marked form of slumber in the vegetable world is the vii rest, when so many forms of vegetauon re- tire to the soil together with the dor mant animals-dormice squirrels and bears. All trees and shrubs hibernate.
 Some plants go to sleep every night The mimosa, or sensitive plant, in day light opens it's fragile leaves, which are hard at work eating, absorbing the carbonic acid of the air into plant food. At night the mimosa sleeps and digests what it has eaten, and the leaves fold up double against each other, the stem droops and the leaf is limp and appar- entity dead.
 The wood sorrei in daytime is wide open. The leaves are composed of three leaflets, each with midribs that suggest to the casual glance the possl- bility of folding. And that is just what they do Each leaf folds over on itself. If flowers kept open cold spring nights the frosts might nip them, rain might wash away the honey and pollen so they are wise blossoms that cover up their hearts during the dark hours

 DAFFODILS.

Among the spring flowers none is so welcome as the daffodil, that with it's rich yellow and green makes a vivid spot at the corner flower stands. The ancient Greeks held these blooms in high esteem and a crown of the golden blossoms woven in honor of the gods was placed upon the heads of the dead.
 It was said that Proserpine was gathering daffodils when she was car ried off by Pluto, and for that reason this gay flower became the symbol of death. Homer spoke i'll of it and de- cIared stupor, madness and death were it's attributes.
 Daffodil is a corruption of affodilly, which is derived from Asphodelus Its other name is narcissus and the legend of the latter name is well known how Narcissus, for whom a nymph died, was punished by seeing his own face in a pool of water and becoming so infatuated with it that he was spell bound to the spot till he pined away and died and was changed into the flower that bears his name today.
 The old poets were fond of the dano- dil. Wordsworth's verses are familiar to most people and Herrick's songs tes- tify to the attention that has been paid this pretty blossom.

LORD FAIRFAX

Interests a Remarkable old ohio Man.
 A letter to the Cincinnati Enquirer from John A. Tinsley, a most remark able old gentleman living at Ports mouth, Ohio, expresses his belief that in the article in last Sundays Enquirer on the present Lord Fairfax, living in Virginia, there were some errors, and he relates many interesting anecdotes of the early days in Maryland. Lord Fairfax, " he says, "did not have sin gle child, and this present Lord Fair fax must be descended from a brother of the great Lord Fairfax who came here fin the last century" Mir. Tinsley has in his possession old deeds exc cuted by the first Lord Fairfax to Isaac Van Meter It seems that Hr. Tins ley's father had known the first Lord Fairfax when that gentleman was alive and he relates to him the story of how the county of Hampshire came to be named Fairfax was sitting in front of his hotel one day when a drove of hogs passed by, and he inquired where they came from. From the land along the south part of the Poto= mac, your grace. replied the man. "Very well, shall call that county Hampshire because those hogs look like the hogs in Hampshire, England, . and for many years the land which now comprises several counties of the state was known as Hampgbire.

EARNED BY DOCTORS.

The large personal estate, some S1,= 875,000, left by the late Sir William Jenner of London, makes it interesting to recall the big fortunes left by other fashionable and successful medieos of recent times In England.
 Dr. Thomas Armitage left over $1, 000,000, but the bulk of this was eer- tainly not professional earnings; Dr. Paul of GamberWell amassed over $500,000, but he owned one, if not two, lucrative private lunatic asylums.
 The next largest personally to Sir w. Jenner's was that of Sir William Gull He died in 1890, leaving $1,720,- 110 behind him. This, of course, was the result of professional fees, a large proportion of which for a long series of years had been excellently invested.
 Then comes the late Sir Andrew Clark though there is a large falling off in the amount. $1,034 ,465. Sir An drew sank a good round sum in real estate. Another big fortune was Sir Oscar Clayton's, about $735, ,O00, and yet another of quite recent date, Sir Rieh- ard Quain s, about S5S5, ,000.
 Sir William Bowman the oculist, Sir Prescott Hewett, Sir George Paget and Sir Risdon Bennett left substantial for tunes, but all were well under the $500,000 mark. There has been speeul- lation as to what incomes some of these successful doctors earned; $15,000 or $20,o00 a year is big income for a professional man, but at one time Sir William Gull's professional fees most certainly averaged $1,O0O a week, if not more, while Sir Andrew Clark's talk ings at the zenith of his career must have amounted to an average of over $1 ,500 for every six working days. There are prizes in the medical pro- fession, without a doubt.
