some of the more important of which
are given in Canon Ellacombe's "Plant
Lore and Garden Craft Of Shake

ON the subject. The plant was chiefly
used for diseases of the lungs. whence
came it's title of Anima pOlmOnum; for
assisting the eruption of measles,
smallpox, etc. Gin measles it is still oc-

To this last (supposed) virtue it's use

taken it ''comforteth the stOmacke
and causeth good digestion, and sod

philter and still enters largely into
some popular recipes for making up
horses.

old writer's went so far as to term it

A DETERMINED
LOVER -.
BY HARRISON NJ. GRANT
Copyright, 1901, by A. S. Richardson

There wasn't doubt in the mind of
Thomas Dingwell, bachelor and farm
er, that he would ultimately marry
Lizzie Carter, schoolteacher and
daughter of Uncle Ben and Aunt Mary
Carter, his nearest neighbors. AL
though he had been counting her for
three long years and had never actual
ly asked for her hand, there wasn't a
doubt in the mind of Lizzie Carter
that she would some day be his WIFE
1t was what folks call a slow court
ship, and, though LizZie's mother
sometimes remarked that she would
never have wasted three years of her
time on any man, there was no real
complaint until about the end Of the
third year. Then one evening as I'm
Gle Ben was milking the cows Aunt
Mary wandered down to the barnyard
and sat down beside him on an up
turned bushel measure and said:
Benjamin, something's got to be
donev'
"Good Lord Mary, but you don't say
SOL" he gasped as he let up on the
milking
Eyes, sir; something's got to be
DONE" she continued, with a grin on
her face. THAT Tom Dingwell has
been hanging round here long enough,
and our Lizzie has fooled away time
enough, and now they've either got to
get married or break up"
"Why. ma, how you talk! What's
come over you all to once?
IT'S come over me that don't want
no more nonsense. 1t didn't take us
but year to get married, and why it
should take Tom and Lizzie three
times as long l can't make out. I've
got a plan, and you've got to help me
with it,
"Shoo! Shoov'
"Never mind those flies. It's a plan
to bring Tom to time or scare him
away and let a better man come along.
Now, Benjamin, you listen"
Uncle Ben leaned back on his milk
stool and listened, and he was so inter
ested that even when the old COW got
tired of waiting and moved off he
scarcely noticed her going. The talk
lasted a quarter of an hour, and when

Like Father, Unlike Son.

The Lancet, the we'll known English
medical weekly, has been inQuiring in
to the question of the transmission Of
genius from father to son and has
found that the sons of great poets are
generally dull dogs. Poetic fervor is
evidently a spiritual flame that burns
itself out in the generation wherein it
is kindled. Indeed it often seems to
burn out the very aptitude for pater-
nifty, or is it that the poet is generally
too poor to permit himself the delight
of fatherhood? However it may be,
many eminent English poets can never
be accused of having dull dogs" of
sons because they never had any sons
at all. Cowley, Butler, Otway, Prior,
Congreve, Gay, Phillips, Savage,
Thomson, Collins, Shenstone, Akenside,
Goldsmith, Gray, Johnson and Keats
all died without leaving offspring, and
Pope, Swift, Watts and Cowper were
never married. Dryden's, Addison's
and Parnell's descendants did not pass
into the second generation, and the
descendants of Shakespeare and Mil
ton became extinct in the second and
third generations. Sir Walter Scott
baronetcy expired with his son.-Har-
per's Weekly.

Aunt Mary had said her last word, &C.
companied by a thump Of her fist and
$50. there, noww Uncle Ben gazed at
her admiringly and exclaimed:
''By gum, Mary, but what woman
you are to think up things!'
Two days later, as Tom Dingwell
came over to the potato field where
Uncle Ben was working and asked for
the loan of saw, he thought he saw
change in Lizzie's father. The greet
ing seemed cold and distant, and when
he was called Mr.. Dingwell instead Of
Tom his knees began to quake. He
was too upset to ask for explanations,
and as he went to the house to get the
saw Aunt Mary bowed to him stiff1y
and said:
cts hanging in the woodshed, Mr.
Dingwell."
'W-what?" gasped Tom as another
quake struck his knees
"And it's pleasant weather, Mr.. Ding
we'll, and it looks as if all the crops
would turn out WELL"
''Mr. Dingwell" swallowed a lump
in his throat and hurried away. He
the fields and climbed the rail fences
1t took him two hours to arrange his
thoughts on string and reach a con-
clusion, and that conclusion was:
by gum. but the old folks want Liz
zie to throw me over and marry some
stuck up Teller with curly hairv'
The more he thought of it the more
firm was his conviction, and he finally
became so upset over it that he had to
knock off work and sit ON the fence
and chew straws. He was hard hit
and full of trouble. but he proposed to
die game. In other words, he proposed
to marry Lizzie if he had to walk over
the dead bodies of forty stuck up
young men and set a barn or two oc
| fire to give Chemung county fair warn
ing. An hour after dark he appeared
at Uncle Ben's with his Sunday clothes
on. He expected to find Lizzie seated
on the piazza, but she wasn't there.
The mother had seen to that. There
was young man there, however, and,
curiously enough, he had curly hair,
and he was stuck up. He smoked
cigarettes and spoke with a drawl.
"Ah, vas! l suppose you are the fell
low who has been hanging around
Miss Lizzie for the last three years.
You needn't mind hanging any longer,
you knaw. 1t gives me pleasure to in
form you that l have won the dear
girls hand and heart and that we are
to be welded next month. Charming
evening, I'm suah."
Tom stood there like man turned
to stone, and for minute the quarrel
ing of the hens on their roost sounded
in his ears like the thunder of Niagara.
He had lost Lizzie She didn't want to
see him, even for last goodby, and
Uncle Ben and Aunt Mary had no fur
Their use for him. AS it all surged up in
his soul he turned, walked down the
path and out of the gate and paused
not as the stuck up young man called
after him:
"Sorry, doncher knaw, but you were
too slow about it. I'll tell the deah girl
that you called"
Tom reached home intending to cut
his head off with the ak or choke him
self to death on an early turnip, but all

SPOTTED COACH DOGS,
The Breed Has Become Practically
Extinct In This Country.

Extinct In This Country.
What has become Of the old black
and white spotted Dalmatian dogs,
better known us coach dogs" that
were so numerous and popular
throughout the Uni.ed States from
1869 to 1882 inclusive? The breed ap-
pears to have become extinct in this
country, having, like the Ncwfound-
land, which has shared the same fate,
gone out of style and are no longer
popular These dogs We're white In
color and spotted over every part Of
the body with small black spots the
size of dime
They were first brought to England
from the Austrian province of Dalma-
tia, and are still popular to a certain
extent in that country, from which the
first specimens were brought to the
United States shortly after the civil
war. One of the reasons why this Cog
disappeared so quickly was no doubt
the fact that he had no particular use
other than to pose as Il SNOWY animal
and to trot along by ones carriage or
coach and attract attention by his
striking color and markings Aside
from this the Dalmatian dog was COM
pletely worthless. He could neither
hunt, serve as a watchdog, catch rats,
fight or do anything else that other
dogs are capable of doing, and for this
reason, no doubt, he died out.-Wash-

May Day Custom I'm Belgium.

The most honored month of the year
in Belgium is the month of May,
known as the Virgins month and con-
secrated to the Virgin Mary. In the
province Of Liege young maidens have
a quaint way Of predicting their love
affairs this month. A group Of girls
arrange to meet at sunrise and start
to walk through the fields until they
come to a hedge, quite unobserved
from the highway, where they gen.
orally choose a honeysuckle bush be-
meath the protecting branches Of
which to perform their mystic opera
tons. Each maiden selects three
blades of dew laden grass, the tops of
which she cuts to equal length and to
each of which she attaches a colored
silken thread. Black represents a
bachelor, red an unknown lover and
green the secret desires Of the maid
ems heart. Ten days afterward they
return to the same spot where they
left the blades growing. and that blade
Of the three chosen which has sur
passed the others in height reveals the
lover the maiden is destined to have

The Old Way of Passing Bills.

A document found among the Duke
of Rutland's papers at Belvoir castle
throws a curious light upon the mode
Of getting private bills through the
house of commons in the days of King
Charles II. The case in hand was the
divorce bill of John, Lord de Roos, an
affair that caused a great deal of Cos
sip in it's day. One of his lordship's
agents wrote in January, 1867: ION
Wednesday last l got six and forty of
the house of commons to the Dog tav-
ern, in the palace yard at Westmin-
ster, when were present Mr.. Attorney
General and Mr.. George Montagu. AS
soon as they had dined we carried
them all to the house of commons, and
they passed the bill. as the committee,
without any amendments, and ordered
it to be reported the next day."

of a sudden he began to get mad about
it. He had been thrown down, and
thrown hard, without notice, and he
wouldn't stand it. Lizzie and every
body else knew that he intended to
marry her after awhile-after the price
of corn got above 45 cents and no
man should step in and take her from
him.
Hardly conscious of what he was do
ing. he went to the barn and hitched
the old bay mare to the forty dollar
Ohio top carriage. Then he brushed
the dust off his clothes, felt in his
pockets to see If his So was safe and,
leaping into the vehicle, yelled
"G'langv' in way that sent the staid
old mare forward ten feet. She was
OH the gallop when she reached Uncle
Ben's, and, without waiting to tie her,
Tom sprang down and banged the gate
open. Four people were on the piazza,
and he came to the stuck up young
man first, grabbed him by the legs and
threw him into bed of pinks. Uncle
Ben started up with whats this,
Tom?' but Tom pushed him over his
chair and sternly exclaimed:
"Don't dare to fool with desperate
man! Come on, Lizziev
ooh, Tom, what is it?' she asked.
"Come on, say! You'll marry me or
I'll chuck you into Woodchuck creek

"Come on!
And Tom almost carried her to the
carriage, and, climbing in after her, he
gave the old mare a cut and sent her
along to Squire Joslyn's at n three
minute gait. The squire was at home.
Ten minutes later the knot was tied,
and Tom was saying to his bride:
by gum, but I've got you, and you
can't get away! Now I'll take you
home, and if your folks or that young
squirt has got anything to say they'll

1t Satisfied Lincoln.

Among Lincoln's callers one morning
in 1862 was a stranger seeking both
personal and official assistance from
the president and who brought with
him some letters lauding his loyalty
that bore the signature of a former
governor Of Maryland. Lincoln received
the stranger with some warmth that
was not chilled even when one of the
attaches, who had overheard the con-
versation, interrupted to explain that
the signature must have been forged,
for the reason that the Marylander
mentioned had been dead several years.
The stranger showed guilt in every fea-
ture, but Lincoln, suffused with that
pity for the luckless that was ever his,

The old proverb that all things come
to him who waits advances a very pref
ty and pleasant theory, but it's literal
Interpretation makes it capable of great
misconstruction, for if it is in one sense
true its reverse is equally true. Nothing
comes to him who waits. Nothing comes
to him who waits and does no more.
There Is nothing in the world that is of
any value that has not to be struggled
for, and those who sit down and fold
