Until he had become a very old man
Sir John Herschel retained the strength
Of intellect and freshness Of memory
which enabled him to accomplish his
great scientific work. Sir Henry x.
Roscoe in his autobiography records
an instance when Herschel was seven
ty-four years old.
One evening in 1866 happened to
meet him. He mentioned as an inter-
esting piece Of news that star re.
Gently discovered had suddenly burst
out into first or second magnitude.

NAMES OF FLOWERS.
Where eere Of Them comsTrom and
What They Mean.

"nat tney Wcdns-
II Is Interesting TO know how certain
flowers received their names. Many
were named after people. For IN
stance, the fuehsias 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 camellla received Its
name from q 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-
bies q tiny slipper. The blossoms of
lady's trssses are twisted like a braid
Of hair. The flowers of the foxgloye
are like the fingers of a glove. The
name foIgiove Is said to be a corrup-
tion 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" Dandellor
means lions tooth. Do you think the
name is appropriate for this notched,
rather jagged fowerT
Anemone means "wind flower" The
anemone Is SO delicately poised that 1t
trembles in the slightest breeze
Dutchman's breeches resemble nothing
20 much as baggy pair Of trousers
Morning gloriss bloom only in the
morning and four o'clocks not until
that hour in the afternoon.-St. Louis

The DanueroIs Aue.


If a man is going to commit a crime
during his lifetime the chances are
that he will do 1t at the age of twenty
nine. 1t Is a curious fact that statis-
tics have shown that man Is more dan
gerous at this period of his life than
ut any other. The majority of crlmi-
nails in the state of New York have for
some time been of this age. The gen.
eral supposition is that men have at
tained the highest development Of their
mental and physical powers at twenty
nine, and they are supposed to be able
to distinguish between right and
wrong and to realize the consequences
liable to follow the Indulgence of ei-
ther. Next to the age of twenty-nine
the greatest number of criminals have
been twenty-one, twenty-seven or for
ty-five years Of age. The intervening
years, in which men do not commit
as many crimes, have not been explain
ed by expert criminologists who have
made investigations proving the above
statements to be true and who are still
working on q solution of the problem.

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

maeninery Inat was Oseu IN buIluIHS
the Pyramids.
Hosting machines were used in both
Assyria and Egypt 0,000 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 pryamid build
srs 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 a 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, and all strain and pull until
the A frame stands erect and the stone
is swung up into the Dir, where 1t can
be pushed into the desired place.
Such a contrivance 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.

GROWING NUT TREES.
IN Planting Follow Natures Own Way
as Much as Possible,

as Much as Possible.
The age at which any nut trees come
into bearing depends on the care given
to the trees. Some authorities state
that fifteen or twenty years are neces-
sary to bring them into full bearing
from the time the nut is planted. This
Is mistake, as trees that have been
we'll cared for should bear bushel Of
nuts in ten years, and tho quantity
viii increase rapidly each year after
that time.
Some persons may enjoy raising
these trees from seed. To be sure, 1t
In rather slow process, but It is in
teresting work. When planting the
nuts, II they have thin shells be per-
fectly sure that they have not dried
out at all. The best plan is to get
them as soon as they ripen and plant
them at once. When this is not possi-
Bile, keep them in moist sand or In
sawdust until they can be started.
Butternuts, walnuts, hickory nuts and
f1lberts, being hard shelled, will keep
In growing condition much longer, but
should be planted in the fall, US they
germinate better when allowed to
freeze, that cracks the shell.
The fall planting is natures own
plan, and the nearer we follow her
ways the better results we may ex-
pect Another thing do not plant the
nuts deep. Nature drops them on the
surface and gives them thick cover
ing OF leaves, In which the dirt catches
as 1t blows about; then the snow COW
srs all and helps the leaves to decay
and form a covering of leaf mold for
the tree to grow in.-Exchange.

Federation of Fruit Growers

The fruit growers OF Washington
state are taking every precaution that
will tend to dispose of their PRODUCTS
in business-like way and bring them
the greatest profits. Their latest move
is in eiiecting the organization of the
Washington Federation of Fruit
Growers, which will evolve plans for
shipping in carload lots direct to the
purchasers in the leading market CEN
ters aud thus avoid the individual
disposition of the orchard products.
AT recent meeting of the federation

of good fruit and the best price OBJ

New FrMit Pest Discovered.

With the budding of the fruit trees
a new bug was discovered by the
farmers, and as its presence has been
shown to be harmful to the fruit trees
infested, radical measures have been
LHken TO erdiCate it. 1t is something
of fly in appearance, brown in ccl-
or, and with long sucker, like bill
with which 1t sucks the sap from the
unopened leaf buds and also destroys
the opened flower upon currant and
soseberry bushes. Spraying has been
found effective in driving the fly
away but rs soon Rs odor of the spray
ing solution has passed away in the
air, the bugs return in great mum.

frequent use of the spray, however, is
che laCt that the chemicals used in 1t

farmers is that at this season the fruit
blossoms are full of working honey
bees that woud be killed by the
spray.

Important Correction.

To Tennyson truth was a simple
thing. It was simply to be exact. In
this light should be read an amusing
story found In Bran Stoker's Person
al "reminiscences OF Henry Irving"
Irving had heard a story that Tenny-
son not long before had been lunching
with friends in his own neighborhood
not far from Haslemere. His hostess
said to him as they went into the din
ing room:
az have made dish specially for you
uyself. I hope you will try it and tell
tne exactly what you think of it"
"Of course SHALL" replied Tenny'
son.
After lunch she asked him what hs
thought Of 1t.
"If you really wish to know" said he
4 thought 1t was like an old SHOE"
When they met, Irving asked Tenny'
son II the story were true.
NO" he said at once. 81 didn't say
that l said something, but it wasn'
tiat 1t was like an old shoe"
what did you say" persisted Irv
ing.

PIE BIRDS OF BRITTANY.
They Must Be Pretty Strong, Accord
ina to This Breton Story.

Speaking of exaggerations," said
traveller, reminds me of the pie bird
story Of the Breton farmer.
There was q farmer in Brittany
who wished to tell a visitor how his
farm had been overrun with pies. Pies,
you know, are large birds, black and
white, with long tails-a kind of crow.
The farmer said the pies devastated
his fields horribly. If he put up scare
crows, the birds tore them down. One
day his young son ran into the granite
farmhouse and shouted:
"'Oh, father, hundreds and hundreds
of birds! The wheat is being all eaten
upv
"The farmer loaded his gun. But
where was the shotf 1t couldn't be
found. He put in few handfuls OF
tacks instead. Then he ran out. The
wheatfleld was black and white, like
checkerboard, with pies. The farmer
gave loud yell, and the birds all few
up into a tall poplar. He fred, and
10, every bird was nailed fast to the
tree. They were nailed fast. Theil
Tapping wings filed the air with
loud whir. The farmer, amazed, stood
watching them. Then strange thinl
happened. The birds, with one grant
united effort, pulled up the huge tre'
and few away with It."

BRITISH COLUMBIA INVESTOR.
From Grant County Has Some Disa-
greeable Experiences.

Neil Niven, ex-county clerk of
Grant county, who took his depart
ure early last summer with band
of cattle for the Bella Coola country
in British Columbia, has written his
wife, Mrs. Ida Niven, telling of his
experiences since he left Grant coun-
ty. says the Canyon City Eagle. The
winter, he says, was a cold one, in
fact the coolest the settlers have
known there for years. From Christ
mas to February 5, the thermometer
registered from 20 to So degrees be-
low zero. However, since the lat
ter date, the weather has been very
| mild, being scarcely below freezing
| any of the time.
He writes that he was unfortunate
in losing a large number of his cat
tie, being unable to reach his land
with all of his cattle before the ex-
| treme cold weather. He had plenty
of feed, and met with very little loss
with that part of his band he was
able to get through, though they suf
fered intensely from the extreme
cold weather.
The Grand Trunk railroad is sur
veyed and being built to Fort Fra

where his ranch is located, and
