witch" Hazel.

According to Meehan's Monthly tbe
correct name for Hamamelis Virginica
Is not witch hazel, but wych hazel. Orr
plant has no connection with the magic
of the water hunter. The blackthorn
of England, Prunus Spinosa, was the
wood used in these divinations. or
whatever these superstltious practices
may be termed. Hazel had very wide
meaning in the olden times, and tbe
elm, as well as the nut now known os
such, was hazel. One of these elms
now known as Ulumus Montana. was
the favorite wood for making wyches
or provision chests, and was therefore
known as the wych hazel. In the pres
ent day it is the wych elm. Our Ham
mamelis received from the early set
tiers the name Of wych hazel from tbe
resemblance of the leaves to those of
the wych hazel or elm of the old world
Language reformers imagining thot
wych should be spelled witch ore ro.

hazel is the correct term for our plant

Kitchener was made commander-ln-
chief Of the forces in Egypt. He led a
successful expedition up the Nile
against the Khalifa, safely conducting
his troops up cataracts and through
marauding tribes and burning deserts
until Omdurman was reached. Here
was fought terrific battle between
the Anglo Egyptian troops and the
dervishes, the latter being cut down
like grass before the scythe. In one
charge the dervishes lost 1000 men
and when the battle was over 10000 Of
their dead and dying strew the ground.
The Khalifa and his chiefs were fugi-
tives and have recently been killed.
Kitchener, on returning home after
this brilliant expedition, became the
popular idol. He is the youngest ma
jor general in the British army.

The seriousness of the war situation
in South Africa has stirred up England
as she has not been stirred up before
in three-quarters of a century and has
led to her ordering to the scene of hos
tilities two of her ablest generals,
Field Marshal Lord Roberts, and Maj.
Gen. Lord Kitchener, the one the hero
of Kandahar, in Asia, and the other
the hero of Omdurman, in Africa.
Lord Roberts, who will assume chief
command in South Africa, is the idol
of the British army, and is popularity
known as "Bobs." He is regarded by
the military authorities of the leading
countries of Europe as the foremost

Then after re-enforcements had been
sent to him he began one of the most
famous marches in history-over tow.
ering mountain ranges and through
hostile territory, straight from Kabul
to Kandahar-300 miles in twenty
days. At the end Of the march he
crushed Ayoob Khan, and the whole
empire rang with the praises of the
man who a few months before had
been almost unknown.
Since then Roberts has advanced
through successive stages to the po
sition of commander-in-chief Of the
forces in Ireland. Now in his sixty.
seventh year he is called upon to face
the hardest task of his military ca
reer.
Kitchener, Hero of the Soudan.
Lord Kitchener, chief of staff tc
Lord Roberts, is England's latest and
most popular war hero. His success
full conquest Of the Egyptian Soudar
won for him fame in England to be
compared with that of Admiral Dewey
In this country. In return for the
services Gen. Kitchener rendered hir
country in Egypt he was raised to the
peerage and was voted a gift of $3.50,
600 by the House of Com mons.
He was born in Kerry County, Ire
land in 1851, and at the age of twenty
received his commission as lieutenant
Of norin l.
in the civil service in Egypt, but in
1882 entered the regular service In
Egypt under Sir Evelyn Wood, who
was then engaged in the reorganiza
ton of the Egyptian army. He re-
ceived an appointment on the intelli
gence staff when the troubles in the
Soudan made necessary the dispatch
Of trustworthy English officers to
Dongola in advance of Lord Wolse
ley's Nile expedition fifteen years ago
There Kitchener was always the one
selected for any work that demanded
great force of character, combined
with tact and resourcefulness in deal
ing with intrigues of disloyal officials
or winning over the chiefs who waver
ed between fear Of Egyptian power
and a hankering after the good things
promised by Mahdism.
With the Nile expedition Kitchener's
promotion was rapid. He became one
Of the two majors Of cavalry in 1884
was made lieutenant colonel in 1885
and became colonel in 1888. He was
in command of brigade of the Egypt
ian army in the operations near Sua
kim in December, 1888, and was pres
ent in the engagements at Gemaizah
and at Toski, in 1889.

HOW HE GOT HIS CLOCK.
Saved a Mans Life Who Was Dyina
of Quinsy.

Saved a Mans Life Who Was Dyina
of Quinsy.
In the hallway of n Philadelphia
1octor's house stands fine example Of
grandfather's clock, the possession Of
which the medical man owes entirely
to a pinch Of snuff, says the Philadel-
phia Record. Some years ago the doc.
4 timepiece, and devoted two of bis
vacations to clock-hunting. He visited
many New England farmhouses with.
out success, as old furniture has been
pretty well gathered up by the dealers
down east" and then carried his
quest into Delaware and Maryland,
where he found many old clocks, but
none of them for sale.
He was about to return home dis.
,onsolate when he was called into con-
sultation overa patient dying of quinsy.
The resources Of medicine had been ex-
hauSted, when the Quaker city doctor
bethought himself of an old snuffbOx
he had picked up during his wander
lngs, in which still fingered modicum
Of snuff, pungent as Of yore. With this
powerful tobacco the doctor assailed
the nostrils Of the sick man, who, sneez-
Ing violently, broke the abscess in his
throat that was choking him to death.
Stimulants were administered and the
sick man recovered.
The Philadelphia doctor left the place
the morning after this remarkable
operation, but he had not been home
week before the grateful Marylander
sent him a grandfather's clock, ac'
companied by card, upon which was
written: "This clock, which struck tho
hour Of my birth, would have also
marked the hour Of my death If your
skill and knowledge had not stayed the
hand of the destroyer"
