Much confusion has arisen from COLI
founding the common laurel Taurus
cerasus, or laurel cherry with the ia
nous laurel of the ancients O.. nobilis).
The former was not introduced into
Europe until 1916. Its leaves contain
the potent poison prussic acid, where
as the leaves of L. nobilis contain a
fragrant aromatic oil used in confec-
tionery. 1t Is to this, the true laurel,
that we apply the term bay, and we
use 1t as a poetical term for an hon
orary crown or garland bestowed as a
prize for any kind of victory or excel
lence.
We apparently get the word bay
through the Latin bacca, berry from
"Plinie" has it, "The bales or berries
(bacca) that it (the roiall laurelD bear
eth" Hence also the term "bachelor''
Is supposed by some to be derived from
the ancient practice of browning candi-
dates for honors with bay leaves and
berries, whence the term baccalaureus
and laureate. Those who were found
worthy of the honor obtained the lau-
rel of bachelor or the laurel of doc
tor Qaurea baccalaureatus, laurea doc
toratus). In the Scotch universities
the act of comforting degrees is or was
styled 'laureation," and chaplet was
used in some of them. In the ages of
chivalry the bas chevaliers. or men be.

SPRING WORK.

Fust "a Reminder of Some of tn
Many Ctems of Farm Routine.
To put i'll the spring crops right one
Elust begin to plan some time ahead
SO as not to leave any of the little
things undOne that may tend to injure
the crops, as a little neglect may make
a great difference in the amount grown
from year to year. This can be noticed
in sowing grass seed as much as any,
thing else as Il failure to get stand is
often caused by waiting few days.
Timothy and orchard grass should be
soWn IN February and clover ia March
in this state Qndiana), as it will then
get good start and will not be so apt
to burn out in the summer
The breaking pillow should be started
just as soon as the ground is dry
enough and should be kept going every
day the weather will permit. Do not
neglect the blowing for some other
work or later you will have to pillow
when it is wet and thus ruin the land.
Through the winter get in your sum-
mers supply of wood. Get some oil
meal to have on hand to feed any
stock that may not be doing well. Oil
meal is almost as good as condition
powders.
Do not forget to plant some pump
kins this year for the hogs next fall,
as they are a good thing to mix with
the corn when feeding. Give the COWS
and horses some also.
Do not forget to manure the truck
patch. Put on plenty, as here is where
it will do the most good.
Tpis is the time of year to look over
the orchard. Perhaps you need some
trees this spring or those already set
out may need trimming.
Every farmer should have large or
chatd so the family may have plenty
of fruit. Trees may be planted close to
the house on the ground that the fowls
run on, and they will furnish shade as
well as fruit.

Treatment For a mWiId Hair"

A "wild hair" is the most annoy
ing freak of nature a man can be
afflicted with. 1t grows in from the
eyelid instead of out and, constantly
brushing against the eyeball, some
times causes an irritation that re-
suits in the loss of sight. To pull it
out gives only temporary relief,
since in a few weeks it comes back as
well grown and strong as ever. The
only way to kill it is to destroy the
sac from which it springs. This is
done by means of the electric needle,
which is pressed into the sac and a
current turned on. A sharp prick is
felt, and the hair is forever dead.

Bottlinq Tears.

In Persia, it appears, they still
bottle up tears as Of old. This is
done in the following manner: AS
the mourners are sitting around and
weeping the master of ceremonies
presents each one with a piece of
cotton wool, with which he wipes
his tears. This cotton is afterward
squeezed into a bottle, and the tears
are preserved as a powerful and eff
ficacious remedy for reviving dy-
ing man after every other means
has failed. 1t is also employed as
a charm against evil influences.
This custom is probably alluded to
in Psalm wi, 8, ''Put thou my tears
into a bottle" The practice was
once universal, as is manifested by
the tear bottles which are to be
found in almost every ancient tomb,
for the ancients buried them with
their dead as proof of their atfec-
ton,
