Names Of Flowers.

1t is interesting to know how GER
tain flowers got their names. Many
were named after individuals. For
instance: Fuchsias we're so-called be-
cause they were discovered by Leon
ard Fuchs. Dahlias were named for
Andre Dahl, who brought them from
Peru. The camelia was so called for
missionary named Kamel, who
brought some magnificent specimens
OF the flower to France from Japan.
He called 1t the rose of Japan, but his
friends changed it to Camelia. Mag
nolias were named in honor of Prof
Magnol de Montpelier, who first
brought the beautiful tree to France
from America and Asia. Because they
trembled with the wind is the meaning
of Anemones. The Latin word to
wash is lavare and lavender received
its name because the Roman put the
flowers into the water. when they
washed, to perfume their hands.

81 aAres CAPTURE or SALMON.
Incident Proves That Belief Of Some
Fishermen Is Wrong.

Fishing a well-known river In Nor
way this June, one of the tenants Of
the fishing lodge opposite ours caught
a fish of 20 pounds in the morning and
lost another his spinning line being
broken by the rush Of heavy fish.
Fishing with prawn the afternoon Of
the same day, the same angler, in the
same pool, got into good fish at his
first cast. After long fight the fish
was gated and landed. Then was re-
yealed a strange state Of things. The
prawn tackle had never touched the
fish; in fact the hooks we're a foot or
more from It, They had caught in the
cast which had been lost that morn
ing. and was now twisted into knots
and tangles, no doubt by the salmon
endeayoring to get rid Of the treble
Norgk cast and hooks. The line had
been got rid Of AS the prawn swung
down the pool it had grappled the lost
cast still attached to the salmon, and
fish (33 pounds), cast, and tackle were
recovered. We watched the incident
from the road, and crossing the river
handled the recovered cast. Many
maintain that salmon once hooked and
played for any length of time leave the
pool.-W H., in London Field.

Indians with Boards.

1t has been written over and over
again that the North American Indian
was always beardless. New light comes
from an unearthed letter from Capt.
Amos Stoddard, United States Artil.
lery and Engineers, in 1906, to DR..
Mitchell of New London, Conn, in
which Stoddard tells of a tribe of
yellow men, not in the least tawny,
who lived near the lake on the west
side of the Rocky or Shining moua-
tains. and who wore their boards, and
a great number of whom had red hair
on their heads" They we're great ex-
perts with the bow and arrow. The
lake referred to must have been Flat
head lake, in northwestern Montana.

SOURCE OF ALL REAL POWER.
Inherent Capabilities the Foundation
of Commanding Position.

One hears it said that the rich com
pei the poor to work To this Clemen-
ceau has most wisely replied: The rich
do not compel the poor to work; ma
ture compels them to work. Work,
the search for food is the universal
law of nature, imperatively laid on all,
young and old, male and female alike
and lasting the whole lifetime. All
that the rich do is to show the poor
what to work at; and this they do,
not because they are rich, for a rich
fool cannot do it, but because they
have the twofold power Of seeing
what is needed to be done and co-or-
dinating the powers to others to get
it done. The poorest man in the coun-
try. if he have these two powers, will
soon become rich. 1t is not capital
that makes power effective; it is in
herent power that makes capital eff
fective. The richest men among us
to-day began with no capital but their
inherent power; and what we call
capital is merely the register of that
power, the evidence that the power
has been exerted; but the inherent
power is the real thing. Whatever
form the state may have, we are, and
always shall be. dependent on those
who have the twofold power of seeing
what is to be done and of co-ordinat-
ing workers to do it.-Harper's Weekly.
