FLOWER IDENTIFICATION
Continued This Year by Pupils at
Riverside Grammar Schools.

In a number of the rooms at the
Riverside grammar school as fast as
the spring flowers appear they are
brought in by the pupils, are classi-
fec and in some cases oLnted by the
teachers. The finders name is placed
in a roll of honor on the blackboard,
the specimen is exhibited to the wnole
room and the pupils are taught its
common and Latin names. The teach
ers say that the interest kept IN is
remarkable, and it is nothing unusual
to find a little girl or boy 10 years old
who can tell fifty flowers on sight with
out hesitation.
Four years ago at the graduation in
June Nettie NJ. Johnson had over 200
mounted specimens composing a her.
barium that was admired by many
visitors.
The only reason that there we're not
twice that number Is the fact that the
summer term closed before many
flowers we're III bloom.

lowing, however. is not retouched, but
can be relied upon as authentic.
DIR. H. e. +. Tiesing, an old and ex-
perienced angler, with John G. Cuddy
of Providence, went a-trouting down
below Scotland dam Monday and had
fair luck, but the doctor very much
regrets his inability to bring home
with him to dazzle the eyes of the self
styled fishermen of the city what he
believes to be the finest trout that he
ever had the pleasure to hook and
lose.
The doctor and Mr.. Cuddy were
ambling down the bank of the babbling
brook and the former got a bite and
realized that he had hooked the big
gest fish that he ever saw. The battle
that ensued was a royal one, but the
willy fish reeled off the whole line,
pulled with such force as to break the
rod and dragged the ardent doctor in
to the rushing waters of the stream.
The doctor says that it was absolutely
the finest specimen that he ever saw
Some of the fraternity who are accus-
toned to chum around with Mich
Laramie, Hanks Fenton and that
bunch are inclined to doubt the doc
tors and Mr.. Cuddys statements.
