Cranberry Flowers.
n Country Life in America.

FROM country Lie In America.
One of the daintiest of wild flowers of
June is the blossom of that time honored
concomitant Of roast turkey, the cranberry
While, however, everybody knows the ber-
ry, few are acquainted with the flower for
the peat Dogs where it blows in the choice
fellowship of the stately pitcher plant and
the golden club, and of many a rare orchid.
are quite remote from the beaten paths of
travel. The cranberry plant is a small,
slender, somewhat trailing shrub, with the
neatest of evergreen leaves, from amid
which few thread-like stalks lift their
nodding flowers, When fully expanded the
pink lobes of each corolla are curled back
like a lily's, and from the heart of them
the compressed stamens protrude in the
shape of a spear point or beak. The i'm
aginative may see in this long-beaked little
blossom a resemblance to a tiny cranes
head, whence some hard-pressed etymol-
ogist has thought to derive the word cram
berry-that is, crane-berry. Those who like
to make place on the home table for oddi-
ties and rarities of the plant world may
well include in their list for June a few
sprays Of the cranberry vine in bloom-the
unfamiliar, alert blossoms, looking brightly
out from their green bower, being sure to
delight all fiower-loving visitors.

REFERRED TO SOLICITOR.
Communication Regarding Assessment
for Water Main

The District Commissioners have referred
to the city solicitor a letter from Mrs. Err
nestine H. Stevens of 2115 California ave
nue. in regard to an assessment for water
main recently levied against her property.
In her letter the writer also requested that
sewer and water connections on California
avenue be adjusted to the new grade as
soon as possible
Capt. Chester Harding, assistant to the
Engineer Commissioner, has reported upon
the matter saying the completion of the
water and sewer connections has been or
dered and will be finished as soon as cir
cumStances will permit.
Continuing, Capt. Harding saws:
Reference is made to water main assess
ment amounting to 1926 for the California
avenue front and $S1.35 for the Connecti-
cut avenue front of the lot. Water mains
were laid in California and Connecticut ave-
nues in advance of the work Of changing
the grade of those streets. In California
avenue Potomac water was introduced to
various houses a number of years ago
through a wrought-iron pipe that was orig
inally laid by private watercompany for
the service Of the property in the neighbor-
hood. When 1t became necessary to lower
this pipe new pipe was laid because the
capacity of the old pipe was not sufficient
to give fire protection, and as the property
had never been assessed for a water main
an assessment was levied after the new
main was laid.
mo pipe existed in Connecticut avenue,
and the assessment on that front in the
present case is for the excess of 100 feet in
the depth Of the lot.
II do not see that the assessment in this
case can be lawfully waived

RUSSIAN PEASANTS BOUND.
Though Nominally Free, They Are
Held by the Mir.

From the New Liberal Review
Literally speaking, of course the Russian
serf has been set free, but although he is
no longer krepostnoy, OF bondsman, TO the
country gentleman, he is still adscriptus
gleboe. For the country gentleman has
been substituted the land, the power of
which is expressed in the mir, or village
commune, which, by the way is not an
elective assembly, but a patriarcnal coun-
ell composed of the heads of families. A
village is composed of courts, dvorui; as
members of families grow up the sons who
marry and have children can apply for a
separate dvor to the mir, and if their appli-
cation is granted they will receive an al
lotment and plot of land wherein to erect
their own cottage, or hut, which will con-
stitute new dvor. They then become mem
bers of the mir. When a member of the
mir dies his widow becomes the head of the
family, and in Russian village communi-
Ties the principle of woman suffrage is thus
recognized
While the peasant remains on the land he
has no separate economic existence and
needs no passport; but so soon as he wishes
to leave his village and seek his fortune
elsewhere he must have a passport. This
passport is given him by the mir He must.
therefore. have the permission of the mir
before he can leave his village, and this
permission must be renewed annually so
long as he continues to be a peasant-and
it is not easy for him to alter his official
social status. This is survival of serfdom.
In the days Of serfdom it was possible for
the country gentleman to put all his serfs,
or individual serfs only, as the case might
be, under what was called obrok The
peasant under obrok was freed from per-
sonai service, but in lieu of this a sort of
tax was substituted. Peasants were al
lowed to go to towns and follow trades, but
for this permission they had to pay a trib-
ute In money or kind to their masters. The
master could cancel his permission at the
end Of every year If he desired his serf to
return. This system has been perpetuated
in the mir. The peasant receives permis-
sion from the mir to go to town or to
emigrate In some cases he is allowed to
resign his membership of the mir, when of
course, he forfeits his land; in others he has
to continue to pay his share of the taxes

PREMATURE EXPLOSION.
Testing Young Man Causes Dealers
Loss of Fireworks.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
LAUREL, Nd. June 49, 1902.
A premature fireworks celebration took
place Thursday afternoon shortly after IL
o'clock in a store on Main street near Avon
dale, and occupied and operated by Pas
quala Provenza. Provenza conducts q fruit
store, and recently got in a large supply Of
fireworks. Yesterday young man, in a
TESTING manner, asked Provenza for per-
mission to touch off, his supply, and at
the same time struck a match. Unfortu-
nately the flame came in contact with a
fuse of some of the infiammable materials,
and in an instant the whole stock became a
miniature volcano, vomiting flame and
sparks in every direction. That part of the
stock which escaped destruction by fire
was ruined by water which was thrown on
it in the attempt to subdue the flames,
which were threatening to envelop the
store.
Screaming, red-hot balls from Roman
candles, devil chasers and other fancy py-
rotechnic creations made hasty exit from
frightening horses on the street and greatly
preventing spread of the flames. Consid

AMERICAN CoIEAGE.
! The History of Inscriptions on United
States Money.
From the New York Times.

i rom the New York Times.
Said a coin collector, whose fad is early
American coins: II an reminded by the
recent publication in the Times Magazine
OF the mystery of the 1904 dollar. of man,
curious facts about an early coinage which
are very little known outside of numis-
matte circles. For instance how many
know that the words f Plurlbus Unum,'
which have appeared on various United
States coins and are on the standard silver
dollar and the nickel five-cent piece Of to-
day, were never authorized by law to he
50 placed? Very few. and vet no Doubt
as many know ii as know that the later
motto, In God We Trust which apDears
on all the minor United States coins, was
likewise originally stamped on them with
out authority from the government
The motto e Puribus Unum' first ap-
peared on an American coin i'm 1886 There
was no United States mint then. and. in
fact, no United States. the Constitution
forming the Union not having as vet been
adopted. There was a private mint at
Newburg, y. Y, and L Pluribus Unum'
was first placed on copper coin struck at
that mint. Very few. collections have
specimens of this coin. 1t is very valuable
In 1877 a New York goldsmith coined a
piece of money which was known as III.
SIG gold piece and upon it the motto was
stamped in this form: 'Cnum r. Piuribus'
Only four of these coins are known ia hn
s-.ob each. New Jersey issued various copner
coins in 1877 with the motto stamped upon
them. A great many Of our early coins, be-
fore there was any legal authority for ma
tonal coinage, were made in England Most
of these were copper. and were coined for
different states. and all bore the words, Il
Pluribus Unum.'
The United States mint was established
in 1872, but the use of the national motto
on any of the gold, silver or copper coins
was not authorized or directed by any of
the provisions of the act establishing IT,
The motto remained on our early gold and
silver coins until 1884, when it was omitted
from the gold coins. In 1886 it was omitted
from the 23-cent pieces, and in 1897 from
all silver coins. 1t was not stamped on
any coin again until IL appeared on the
nickel and the standard silver collar
The words, In God We Trust were
first placed on the two-cent piece which
came into our subsidiary coinage in ls.;i
but is now no longer part of it, The motto
was placed there by direction of James
Pollock, then director of the United States
mint at Philadelphia, and not by any legis-
latton of Congress authorizing the minting
OF the two-cent piece The motto was SUBJ
sequently stamped on our silver half and
quarter dollars, the mint thus boldly de-
claring the theological status of the coun-
try regardless of the Constitutions attitude
