wi,,o,v Tree, In America.

The weeping willow tree came TO
America through the medium OF Alex
ander Pope, the poet, who planted 4
willow twig on the banks Of the Thames
at his Twickenham villa. The twlg
came to him in box of figs sent from
Smyrna by a friend who had lost all in
the south sea bubble and had gone 10
that distant land to recoup his fortunes.
A young British officer who came TO
Boston with the army to crush the re-
beIlion of the American colonies brought
with him twig from Pope's now beau
tiful willow tree, intending to plant II
in America when he should comtorta-
bly, settle down on lands confiscated
from the conquered Americans. Ihe
young officer, disappointed in these ex'
pectations, gave his willow twig, wrap
ped in oil silk, to John Parke Custis'
Mrs. Washington's son, who planted II
on his Abingdon estate, in Virginia. IL
thrived and became the progenitor OF
all our willow trees.

them always saying to themselves
"Why? 1 do not know whether you
have ever thought about IT, but all the
great discoveries Of the world have
come because some one has asked that
question. The records Of industry show
nothing more clearly than that all real
mental skill depends on asking ques-
tons. The answer is sure to follow.
The real mental capacity is not dis
played by the man who answers the

covered"
T1aTlHEN Miss Rose Owens, who
WI has a responsible position in
Wv the GoVernmen emit service at
Washington, D. c., decided to
Try Wine of Cardui, she made wise
choice. Over a million women have
been relieved of female weakness by this
same Wine of Cardui. It is not a
strong medicine but may be taken every
day in the year by any woman with
benefit. 1t does not force results, but
corrects arrangements of the menstrual
organs. 1t Strengthens the nervous
system, gives tone to the bodily func-
tions, acts directly on the genital
organs, and is the finest tonic for wo-
men known to the science of medicine.

The Times Is asked to print the follow
ing from the Boston Herald Of Nov 14:
"Judge Hammond heard in the supreme
court yesterday a petition brought by
Timothy Mccarthy vs.. the mayor and SUI
perntendent OF streets OF Boston for a
writ Of mandamus to compel the compile
tion Of the construction Of Pontiac street,
which had been ordered laid out by the
street commissioners about four years ago.
The petitioner, whose property abuts, says
the work has been unTeas0nably delayed.
He had suit for damages against the city
on account Of changing the grade, aud
claimed damages at from S27 900 to S3s,.
900, while the city had claimed that the
change benefited him. A jury awarded
him So, 1893
''The city's lawyer claims that the writ
Of mandamus should not be issued for
practical reasons, first because the gener.
al appropriation Of $4,000, 900 for street
laying out aud construction has been ex-
hausted, and has not been made replen-
ishable by the laying Of betterments, as
the method of assessing betterments has
been declared unconstitutional, thereby
preventing the collection Of part Of the
cost from property owners, which might
be used for further street work.
