The meeting was attended by 100
parents. and nearly a score OF moth
ers intimated that they would make
charges OF a serious character TO the
members OF the school committee in
private.
Among the forms OF punishment,
which various persons allege to have
been used were forcing a quantity OF
green soap into the mouth OF a boy
and tying OF stockings about the faces
OF pupils for whispering.
These reports will be investigated
thoroughly by the school committee,

such practices.

How Flower. Were Named.

II is interesting to know how certain
flowers got their names. Many were
named after individuals. For instance.
fuchsias were so called because they
were discovered by Leonard Fuchs.
Dahlias were named for Andrew Dahl,
who brought them from Peru. The
camelia was so called for missionary
named Kamel. who brought some mag
nificent specimens OF the flower to
France from Japan. He called Il the
rose OF Japan. but his friends changed
II To csmelia. Magnolias were named
in honor OF Prof Magnol De Mont.
pelier. who first brought the beautiful
trees To France from America and
Asia. Because they tremble with the
wind is the meaning OF anemoncs. The
Latin word to wash Is lavare and Law.
ender received it's name because the
Romans put the flowers into the water
when they washed to perfume their
hands.

Stair pictures have been very
much the vogue IN the East the last
season. Many society women, have
posed In this fashion and made love
ly pictures. Pose and gown are the
essentials.
Many women go up stairs awk-
wardly and ungracefully. They think
chiefly OF the climb. and not Of how
they look.
The figure should not be rigid. but
the shoulders should be held erect.
One should keep the shoulders well
back In descending and the head well
up.
From the standpoint OF physical cui-
ture there Is nothing quite the equal

the muscles OF the back. But this Is
very difficult. The knees grow very
tired There is q distinct art in throw

not double up nor bend the shoulders.

OF these larvae was seen last April in
the woods near Areachon. The pro-
cessions are formed both at night.
when the creatures make excursions
from their nest to feed on the young
leaves. and in the daytime. when they
descend TO the ground to seek place
In the sand where they may burrow
and pass to the pupa stage. A kind
OF fly was observed attacking the
procession above mentioned, TO lay Its
