NAMES OF FLOWERS.
Where Some of Them Come From and
What They Mean.

'N~ ''~J "'ScHs
1t is interesting to know how certain
flowers received their names. Many
were named after people. For in
stance, the fuchsias were so called be-
cause they were discovered by Leon
ard Fuchs. Dahlias were named for
Andre Dahl, who first brought them
from Peru. The camellia received It's
hame from a missionary named Ka-
mel, who carried specimens Of this
flower from japan to France. The
magnolia was named in honor of Mag
mol de Montpelier. Other flower names
are descriptive. Lady's slipper resem-
bles a tiny slipper. The blossoms of
ladys tresses are twisted like a braid
of hair. The flowers of the foXglove
are like the fingers of glove. The
name foxglove is said to be a corrup-
ton Of folks glove" or "fairy's glove"
Aster means star and received its name
from the starlike rays of this flower.
Daisy is really days eye" Dandelion
means lions tooth. Do you think the
name is appropriate for this notched,
rather jagged flower?
Anemone means wind flower" The
anemone is so delicately poised that it
trembles in the slightest breeze.

In an address before the students al
Yale college few days ago Secretary
of State Elihu Root spoke very forcibly
concerning the duties of citizenship, re.
Rsrring especially to those who neglect
their duties at the caucus and at the
polls on election day, saying practically
that their neglect of such duties allow
ed the demagogues, the prejudiced in
dividual, and the one who seeks to over
throw governments, to predominant at
elections in this country. He declared
that the presidential election was one
of the most useful education processes
in behalf of popular government, be-
cause of the discussions that preceded
that election, and he further remarked
while there may have been abuses in
raising and applying funds, there was
no more useful expenditure from the
public point of view, because the great
bulk of it was applied to the political
education Of voters and amounted to
about only three and half cents per
capita for the people of the United
States on the one side and probably
somewhat less on the other.

HOSTING DEVICES.
Machinery That Was Used In Building
the Pyramids.

the Pyramids.
Hosting machines were used in both
Assyria and Egypt 6,000 or more years
ago. In order to hoist the great
stones of the pyramids some form Of
derrick was employed. Probably the
first construction was that which IS
now known to mechanics as the shear
legs. This is made Of two great tim
bers tied together in the form OF a
capital A, the two ends resting on the
ground and rope being run over and
attached at the top.
With one Of these the pyramid build
ers could have raised large stones step
by step, which was doubtless their
method. We can imagine we see the
great A frame leaning over an incline
of perhaps fifty degrees with block
Of stone tied on. Then a great crowd
Of men get hold of the rope on the
opposite side, perhaps assisted by some
draft oxen, atd all strain and pull until
the A frame stands erect and the stone
Is swung up into the air, where 1t can
be pushed into the desired place.
Such a continuance could be used to
lift stones six or eight feet, which was
sufficient for the construction of the
first pyramid. Doubtless better hoist
Ing devices were constructed as more
pyramids were built.-Circle Magazine.

on the third term talk, aud it is said it

massachusetts and other New England
states are disposed to insist on your re-

In other words, Peruna goes to the

the disagreeable symptoms disappear.

six years. 1 tried many kinds of medi-
cine, also was treated by three doctors.

then got sick again and gave up all
