LAUREL
The State Flower. chosen by the
School Children of West
Virginia.
[For the Telegram.l

u
The schools of West Virginia, by
counties, voted for state flower about
month before Christmas. The
school children chose, by very large
majority, the mountain laurel as their
fayorIte emblem, although, other fiow-
ers had many warm adherents.
This refers of course TO the big
laurel, as the smaller variety is known
to be quite poisonous. The shrub
chosen is the handsome Towering ever
green, tKalmia latifolial which some
times forms small tree IL to 20 feet
high. 1t is found growing on rocky
hills and in mountain rayines from
Canada to Florida, and in perfection
10 this state. The flowers which vary
from a pure white,to a deep rose colcr,
are borne in large terminal heaes,
while its corolla is beautiful both te-
fore and after it opens.
The stems and roots Of this plant
form good material for rustic work, as
the wood is close-grained and hard.
The soldiers of the Civil war, serving
In the mountains, would carve pipes
from Its roots, and in which they en-.
joyed the solace of a smoke by many a
lonely watch fire. This American
shrub is a fayorite flower in Europe
where it is cultivated carefully, whilst
strange to say, it is rarely seen in our
own gardens.
But now as the state emblem, we
must give the laurel place OF honor
on the front lawn, and it is worthy OF
the situation by reason of its intrinsic
beauty. Significant symbols and en-
blems were much used by the ancients.
Goethe writes feelingly of land where
exist groves, THAT are of laurel and
myrtle and rose;" and Marlowe, the
actor of Shakespeare's time, speaks Of
"Apollo's laurel bough.n Now Apollo
was the god Of music and poetry, as
well as of archery; and it was the Gus.
tom to crown with garlands of laurel,
the successful applicants IN these ele-
CANT arts, as well as victorious generals
homecoming from bloody wars.
Now, in these latter days since
"Knighthood is in flower" the victor
in the jousts is made TO say of the
queen of the tournament:
"I'll crown her bright hair
With the cleaning laurel wreath,
And she shall sit in the chair,
With all the maids beneath"
And may the laurel, the emblem of
the mountain state, never be used in
sterner cause, than to glorify the ac-
complishments which flourish in time
OF gentle peace! G.

Black Hen Was On.

This, says the Twentieth Century
Farmer, is how the contributor to one
of the magazines tells of the way in
which a little girl revealed the outlook
for trade TO the country storekeeper:
From one of the smaller cottages at
the end Of the street came a barefOoted
child in a ~colorless calico dress and
Stat sunbonnet. With the important
air of a heavy buyer she entered the
village store and handed across the
unite a blue teacup. The proprietor
took the teacup and said in brisk tones:
well, Emmy, what does your ma
want today?'
please sir, ma wants an eggs
worth of molasses,' and she carefully
placed a large white egg on the counter.
The storekeeper poured out a little
molasses into the cup from 4 stone jug
and set the cup before his customer.
Mr.. smith, she said. as she took
her purchase, I'll be back in a little
while for some ginger. Ma said to tell
you the black hen was On"
