Wych Hazel, Not Witch Hazel.

The correct name for Hamamelis viz
ginica is not witch hazel, but wych
hazel. Our plant has no connection
with the magic of the water hunter.
The blaclzthorn Of England, Prunus
spinosa, was the wood used in these
divinations, or whatever these super
stitious practices may be termed. Ha-
Eel had very wide meaning in the
olden times, and the elm as well as
the nut now known as such was hazel
One of these elms, now known as u
mus montana, was the favorite wood
for making Wyches, or provision
chests, and was therefore known as
the wych hazel. In the present day It
is the Wych elm. Our hamamelis re-
ceived from the early settlers the name
of wych hazel from the resemblance
Of the leaves TO those of the wych ha-
eel or elm of the old world Language
reformers imagining that wych should
be spelled witch are responsible for the
confusion. Wych hazel is the correct
term for our plant.

SPORTS AND THE SPHERE.
The Basic Pursuit In Most Games IS
to Drive a Ball.


to Drive a Ball.
Some day there will arise a patient
investigator who will work out this
problem, Why are most sports but the
variants Of one object, the propulsion
of a sphere?
Billiards, baseball, polo, golf, sling
ing, marbles, squash, handball, foot
ball, rackets, cricket, hockey, bagatelle,
tennis, shooting, pelota-the basic pur-
suit in cash is to drive a ball, the pro-
pulsion Of a sphere.
Tipcat, shuttlecock and top spinning
are the employment of notifications Of
the sphere, and archery is but another
method Of propulsion.
It is a strange limitation Of form,
and there must be a reason. Those who
delve into origins may ascribe the
whole motive of sports to some long
armed, hirsute ancestor who first
threw a pebble at a fellow cave dwell
er and found it great fun
Or it may be poor mortal's attempt
to get in a small fashion into the ire
mendous scheme of the universe,
which is the everlasting movement of
the spheres. Or it may be that sports
are framed in Inevitable obedience to
some irresistible law Of nature.
At any rate the fact is sports are
based on the propulsion of the sphere,
and some one ought to find a reason
therefor York American.

Men Brought From Waupun Instru-
mental in Binding Over Chas. Griffin
Because his pals squealed on him,
Charles Griffin one of the railway men
arrested in connection with the rob-
berry Of the Northwestern cars, was
held to the Circuit Court by Justice
Donahue this morning to answer to
a charge of grand larceny. He was
held IN bonds of 1000, and being un-
able to furnish them he was sent back
to Jail. An effort will be made to give
him trial at the coming term Of the
Circuit Court.
The principal witnesses against
Grifiu were Charles Hill, Ado1ph
Moe and Archie Quay1e, the three
railway men who we're sent to the
state prison for their connection with
the robbery of the cars. All the wit
nesses declared that Griffin was in the
band and that he got portion of the
stuff stolen from the cars of the COM
pany. Griffin declares that he is in
nocent but he did not take the stand,
his attorney feeling that the evidence
was sufficient to hold him for trial and
his story was reserved for the trial of
the case.
The three men from the state prison
reached kenosha Thursday evening
under the guard of men connected
with the institution and they will re-
main here until after the trial of
Griffin and George Sykes next week.

over the prairie. There was the
man and his wife and two babies
in the house and they jest barely
got into the cellar and the house
went over their heads. None Of
them were hurt but it swept away
all their belongings. It took one
wash tub from our back porch and
dropped it block away and lef,
the other undisturbed.
In a wrecked farm house near
MT. Vernon one man was killed and
one Of his boys badly injured. a
horse near Cassem's barn here had
a board driven into him, and a new
wagon had one axle snapped of
and the wheel carried away while
the rest of the wagon was nnmoyed.
Reports from the country are
very meagre and Isuppose you will
see them in the newspapers as fast
as they come id. This was close
enough. and I only wish / had
seen the beast.
