uring sticks applied TO them by their neigh
bors. y Philadelphia gardener, who pub
fishes a little magazine devoted to the mys-
teries of his calling, complains because in
telligent and so-calied cultured people per-
sistently refuse to use the botanical names
of plants and continue TO call them by the
sometimes confusing names in common use
"a single plant or flower often being desig-
mated by different appellations, according
TO it's locality. The gardener concludes,
evidently after much reflection, that the
hesitation TO adept the scientific name is
the fear of being thought affected, and this
spirit has been nursed TO such a foolish
extent, he ayers, that utter ignorance of
all solid knowledge has come to be the
chief recommendation 10 polite society"

1t is probable that none of Mr.. Car
negie's library gifts will be more highly APP
preciated or do more good than the one he
is expected to make for a public library in
San Juan. Porto Rico. The COMMISSIONS
of education Of Porto Rico stated in his an
nual report. recently published. that he had
asked Mr.. Carnegie for d donation for a
library building and had reason TO hope he
would comply with the request. The COM
missioner added:
l believe there is no place under the flag
to-day where a larger service could be rem
dered in this manner than here in the city
or San Juan. Should this fortuitous condi
ton of things result, it is the purpose of
the department and of the trustees OF the
library TO establish in connection with It
free circulating libraries, TO be sent
throughout the island. There is a great
paucity Of reading material everywhere on
the island, and something must be done to

action Of which Admiral Evans complains
was taken at the request OF the then Sec

Chandler, knew nothing about the circum-

The lighthouse service. in which Admiral
Evans was employed at the time. is at

officer in that service would not be re-

the knowledge and consent of the secretary
OF the treasury, and probably only upon
his request. The rule of comfy among
heads Of departments in such matters is
very strictly observed. As far as the main
fact is concerned, viz, that of being pun

ing his duty in a way that was offensive
to them, Admiral Evans seems to be right.
