PiTH AND POINT.

Being worthless pays no dividends
Keeping diary is nearly as hard
work as Keeping dairy.
Being favorably impressed is the
cheapest way we know of being a good
fellow.
Nothing makes us quite so mad as
to have people say, what made you
do itP'
1t Is terribly hard to impress peo-
pie with the Importance of aiding in
good cause.
Every one realizes when he goes to
photographers that he is not look
ing his prettiest
1t is all right to do things for your
town. but first do things for your
home and family.
We are all pretty easily pleased
when we consider that three or four
times a day we see exactly how we
look in the looking glass.-Atchison

THE HORSE CHESTNUT.



Its Name.
The horse chestnut tree Is well
known, and the nuts are dear to boys
and sufferers from rheumatism. But
the statement was made lately and 1t
is even found In some encyclopedias,
that the name is given on account of
its coarseness: Like horse, or like
that of horse; hence, coarse and un-
refined" The reflection on the horse is
an unworthy one, but let that pass. Is
not the explanation given in Gerarde's
Herbal (l59D a more reasonable one Z
Called IN English horse chestnut for
that the people of the east countries do
with the fruit thereof cure their horses
Of the cough and such like Diseases"
There Is Il long list Of plants that
have animal pref1xes-horse dog, cat,
bear, COW, pig, wolf mouse, rat, toad,
frog, dragon, snake, etc In some in
stances the name Of an animal pre-
fixed has Il totally different significa-
ton, denoting size, coarseness and FIRE
quently worthleSsness or spurious
ness" but names have also originated
from the particular uses 10 which GER
tain plants have been put, and the
horse chestnut Is an example. The
Turks, Arabians, Persians. all believ-
ed that these nuts cured horses of
coughs, shortness of wind and such
other ailments. In England a prepara
ton OF the nut was once used for
bleaching yarn.
Yet there may be something in the
statement of an Englishman, Al
fred A Millward: THE tree possesses
a feature which have often found to
be not generally known. 1t is very
distinctly marked horseshoe, with sew
en- dots corresponding TO the nails of
the horseshoe, and this appears at the
knuckle Of the branches, large aud
small, but more clearly on the latter"
