The particular species of crocus that

known under the name Of saffron, is
CrOcus sativuS. which is wild from
Italy to Kurdistan. Saffron may be
reckoned among the very oldest of
vegetable products, being alluded to in
the Song of Solomon among other
spices of Lebanon. The name crocus
Is Chaldean or Greek and was first
used by Theophrastus of Eresus about
$50 B. c. and that it was a well
known and admired flower in Greece
soon afterward is shown by Sophocles.
who mentions the 'crocus of golden
beam" in his "Cedipus at Colonos."
The word saffron seems to be a cor
ruption of the Arabic name "al zahafa-
ram" and the product itself was first
imported into England as a spice or
cOndiment. being also used as color
or dye for silks and other fabrics of
the eastern looms.
At later date, exactly when is not
known, the plant itself was cultivated
in England. more especially in Essex.

unDearaD ole, or the thunder. In front
was a farmhouse in the path of the
cloud. Bertha clasped her hands as
she saw the inmates hurry like wild
quails into the orchard. saw the barns
and the stacks melt, as it were, in the
blast. and where they had stood there
was naught of them when the cloud
passed on. But the house was there,
and in the mist of dust the family
came from the trees Of the orchard.
Then the wind reached Bertha. and
the grass bent to the ground and
seemed to hide under the sod below
The pony bent his neck and closed his
eyes. The cloud fastened toward the
girl, and she stepped back to await the
crash of the elements-stepped into the
path and was caught by a friendly
hand.
Ralph Moore was there.
Why, Bertha could not inquire, for
the roar of the cyclone was too loud
and the play of the lightning and
thunder too sharp. She understood
when he motioned to a hollow beyond
a hill. and like deer she ran to safe
ty. Ralph was at her side and caught
her arm. pulling her down as the
storm passed over their heads and left
it's cloud of dust and splinters and pa.
per and straw and grass. Gradually
the roaring died away. and even the
cloud unwound it's hold upon the sky
and disappeared as a puff of smoke
disappears.
Bertha then thought Of the rescuer
by her side. "Why are you hereY' she
asked. turning to her companion.
Business Ralph replied. ''You
see, my horse refused to go farther,
and tried to come here. Then l saw
woman i'll the road and brought her
along. 1t was you. But ! deserve no
credit"
whenever l have been in trouble
you have come to me. Do you remem-
ber?"
Remember And Ralph told her
of the things he had meant to say, and
Bertha listened.
When she had found her horse and
had returned to the village she wrote
to her mother in the east, and the let
ter lay for many days unanswered.
Then Mrs. Ogden said Ralph would be
welcome. When the long days came
there was a wedding. and Ralph took
his place forever at Bertha's side.

GeosrAphrcaI KNOWLEDGE IN 1892.


But very little was known in regard
to the extent of the world in Arts
tOtle's day, in the fourth century be-
fore Christ. ana but very little more
was known about it 1900 years later
in the time of Columbus. In 1000
years the world had in reality retro
graded rather than advanced. 1t was
the popular belief in the time Of Co.
lumbus that the world was fat. though
many contemporary scholars thought
differently. The great civilizations of
the world at that time were grouped
around the Mediterranean sea. al
though England was a considerable
power and the Scandinavians were a
great maritime people. But Europeans
at that time knew but little Of Asia
and but little of Africa. and America,
Of course, was undreamed of. Even
after Columbus had discovered the lat
ter continent he was perfectly oblivi-
Gus of the fact. He thought Haiti was
Cipango or Japan and for a long time
regarded Cuba as part Of the main
land of Asia.

Bertha breathed the air of the west
ern prairie in the early spring and saw
the fields grow green and then pink
and white, while the wind came over
the hills with the freshness of a new
summer on their wings. Alone she
rode into the country and knew the
roads that led to the town, where her
brother was in business.
One day in May, when the fields
were blue with blossoms, she rode
slowly toward the hotel On the hill
beyond were the spires and roofs of
the city, and across her path was a
railroad with its glittering ribbon Of
steel winding into the DISTANCE.
But there was Il peculiar cloud in
the southwest. twisting and winding
into the sky. Bertha met a farmer.
When he had passed there was a
sound of horses hoofs in the dusty
road. The air, however, was still.
Even the birds and bees were silent
The cloud grew darker and pushed
nearer the ground. Faster and faster
and blacker and blacker came the i'm
pending storm.
Bertha measured the distance to the
town with her eye and glanced over
her shoulder at the threa taninR cloud
Try her best, she could not reach the
houses before the rain came. She
urged her pony into a canter. She
rode past hedges and fields that were
open to the whole world. Birds few
close to the ground and darted into
the hollow beyond. Bits of dust
danced in the road and whipped away
into nothingness. Stems of grass that
had withsto0d the SHOWS of winter
loosened themselves from the fence
and rolled past. Once a stray paper
Numbered along. Yet the girl could
feel little if any wind.
Suddenly the sky grew dark, and the
sun. which had been shining regard
less of the things going on below, was
shut out. The snakelike cloud shot
into the sky above, and all was dark.
In the distance was the roaring of a
cataract And nearer and nearer it
came, filing the universe with fear.
The dust of the road swept back, and
there was contrary current in the
air. Even the pony stopped and turned
about. Neither did he mind the whip
which fell on his flank, but backed and
turned about until he faced the cloud
in the distance and then stubbornly
stood there. Bertha dismounted and
tossed the useless rein over a post Of
the wire fence and whipped her own
skirts as she gazed with fright at the
cloud-the cloud twisting and roaring
and the lightning flashing from the
middle of it's dark folds.
Bertha was alone.
The course of the cloud changed, and
1t seemed to hurry across the valley
that stretched away between the girl
and the houses and spires. A cloud of
dust followed and the roaring. almost

In her younger days Bertha had
made fun of him.
When she was only sixteen-Ralph
little more-she had caught her foot in
a railroad bridge, and he had run
bravely to her rescue and released her
Then when he had her safely in the
siding, with the great yawning trestle
below them and the engine, rocking,
passed them, he had forgotten to re-
lease his hold of her. She had become
angry at the smiling of the engineer
and had jerked herself away impa-
tiently without so much as a word of
thanks.
Then there was the runaway horse
and the mixing of reins and dash
boards. Ralph was the first to come
and pull her from the debris. When
she told of a pain in her arm he hur-
ried away for the doctor. Afterward
he sat by her while her arm was heal
ing and read from the book that in
terested her.
Even then Bertha smiled when
Ralph's name was mentioned.
Always he was at her side when she
encountered trouble of any kind, but
she seemed not to notice him. A cas-
ual nod of thanks and an Indifferent
smile were all she ever gave him.
Years after that last incident{ the
cyclone came. Bertha had shaken her
head to two young men before that
event. She had been away to school
and had visited summer resorts and
had been at the seaside and the winter
hotels in the south.
These men were eligible, too, as men
go. But somehow there seemed to be
something lacking. 1t made little diff
ference where the incompatibility was.
Bertha gave her answer, and her
mother was surprised when the ulti-
matum to the second one was given.

Mrs. Ellen M. McEwen, 73, died
Wednesday morning at 5 80 o'clock at
the home of her son, William o. Nc
Even, on Bridge street, of old age.
She had been in poor health for more
than a year. Her maiden name was
Miss Ellen Able, and she was born
in Enfield, OF. Mrs. MoEwen had
lived in Monson Is years, her hus-
band, James, who was a veteran of
the civil war, having died in Monson
IL years ago. She leaves, besides
her son, with whom she lived, two

The new concrete bridge on Bridge
street, which has been under con-

pleted. and it's appearance in it's pres
emit state is far from satisfactory.
The finish is very rough, not at all
as was expected. The selectmen, on
account of it's condition, decided not
to open it for traffic, and notified P
A. Breglio of the firm of P. A.
Breglio & Go. of Springfield, the con-
tractors, of their dissatisfaction. Mr..
Breglio arrived Saturday and opened
the bridge, informing the selectmen
that he would guarantee to put it in
t-class order strictly according to
specie fiations AS the seleotmen
have not paid anything as yet on the
bridge and the contractors are thor
oughly versed in work of this kind,
the public can be assured the bridge
will be in first-class order before being
accepted.
