persion would be practically the same as IN
the case of the blue vervain.
The scientific name of the above plant Is
given bellows 1t means Ehrenberg's
Bouchea, but the origin of the name BOu-
chea is not known to the present writer.
Another near relative of the blue vervain
is q slender little plant with small pale b'ue
flower s, a plant which may be better recog-
nized by the fact that every green part OF
it, that is to say the stem, the leaves and
even the calyx Of the fl w 81, ARE covered with
the finest little hooks imaginable.
You have probably felt the leaves and
thought them gummy, but there is no gun,
it is simply that the myriads OF tiny hooks
take hold of the skin. So far as the stems
and leaves are concerned this curious cover
ing may perhaps protect the plant from being
eaten; but on the cal TX they seen to serve
q different purpose. The calyx remains
and closes round the fruit after the corolla
falls off, it then grows larger and shuts in
the curious little fruit like u balloon. BY
and by the calyx with its fruit is caught by
its tiny hooks in the coat of some passing
animal and the seeds are thus distributed.
By what name is the last mentioned little
weed known here ? GrisebUch III his list OF
colonial names gives "VeIyet bur" but we
don't think that name is nsed here, neither
does it seem to be a very good one. The
botanical name of the plant means the
prickly 'Priva"t Henderson says thae Priya
is a name of unknown meaning given by
Adanson. 1t is therefore not the best for
popular use; but perhaps if we turn prickly
priva into prjchly u%ervajn, bearing in mind
the very minute size of its prickles, we shall
have a fairly good local name,
The above two plants, which we have
ventured to call the purple vervain
and the prickly veryain, IRE the nearest re-
lations here to the blue veryain (the yer
vain of the Danish islands aud perhaps
some others), but there are other cousins
here, quite interesting, though not so closely
related, and to ONE Of these we may pow
turn our attention.

SOME RELATIVES OF THE yERVAIN.

The Vervain discussed in last SATURDAYS
Avis belongs to u rather numerous family
and has many cousins near and remote living
IN Santa Cruz. The name UerUuin is itself
differently applied in different places, aud
may serve as an excellent text for o short
depression on the value Of botanical names.
In regard to the article in question, it may
have struck some of its readers as quite
needless to trouble them with a long and
difficult name like StachytarpbG J0noicensi8
when every Santa Cruz reader would
readily recognize the plant under it's
common name Of UerUdjm. 1t looked rs if
the writer had introduced the longer name
10 throw a learned cast over q very simple
story, did it not ? Was that it, and if not,
why was it done
The word UerUdin appears to be derived
from the name Verbs10, but it is not applied
to all verbenas. 1t is not used for instance
for the weli-known garden verbenas. Asa
Gray, in his Botany of field forest and gar
den, discussing the Vervain Family or Yer
bendceoe, divides the genus Ter6enG into two
sections IS l. Nervains native to the coun-
Try or growing Wild as weeds y under which
head he names SIX species of vervains, and
~ 2. Verbenas Of the garden sort, under
which he Includes seven species, and SAYS
moreover that they are yariously and greatly
mixed, so that there are many kinds which
are ouly hybrids and varieties,
The verVain of Europe is Ue16ena ofioj-
nails, which has been introduced into Am
erica and is found wild in the South.
The botanist Lindley has the following very
important remark about this species under the
head of Ter6enace1: ''lhe common TerUa1m

SENATE REcoNslDERs PREVIOUS ACTION AND EXTENDS sES
 SION SIXTY DAYS.
THE GAVIN BILL Is TAKEN UP
Pass State Convict Bill and Amend State Banking 6iII-Pass State
 wide Measures.

Alter refusing to adopt the House concurrent resolution providing for the extension of the present session of the legislature, and later refusing to reconsider the vote by which the resolution was defeated, the Senate adopted the resolution, and a 60-day extension is now assured The final adoption of the extension of the resolution by the Senate closed hard fight, one of the hardest ever fought over the question of extension In any Arkansas legislature
 It has probably been years since in- terest was as intense in the ques- ton of final adjournment. Until the middle of Tuesday afternoons session, when the Senate abruptly voted to extend the session, after having voted down the same pro posal. many people in close touch with the situation did not think the Senate would vote to extend Many others thought the Senate would finally adopt the extension reso- lution or a similar one, but they did not expect such action until the last minute The sudden adoption of the resolution came as a surprise to many.
 A coincidence in connection with the adoption of the extension reso- lution is that almost imediately after the resolution was adopted the Gam bill, providing for statutory state wide prohibition, was practically killed, inasmuch as submission amendment to the bill was adopted. It was generally rumored that the Senate would vote to adjourn sine die Thursday because of the opposi- ton to the Gam bill In the same afternoon the Senate voted not to adjourn and then practically defeat. ed the Gam bill The refusal to adjourn was considered by some as a victory to the Gam forces, but all glory was taken away when the bill was amended almost immediately afterward
 The majority of the legislators took the extension as matter of fact and there was but little com ment on the subject After the Sen ate had refused to extend the session in the morning. legislators gathered about the regular meeting places and assuming mournful expressions, bade each other goodbye Sorry we couldn't be together longer and well, here's hoping they don't go too far into that record of yours in your next campaign. were among the remarks heard on every side.

PROBING DEATH MYSTERY.
Body is Exhumed and Stomach to Be
 Examined by Chemist.

New Lewisville.-The sudden death of Miss Fife Kitchens, a highly re speeted young lady living near Stamps. has ear the greatest sensation that commu has ever experienced. She was the daughter of James Kitchens. an influential farmer, was well edu- cated. handsome and general favor fte in that community.
 It is understood that two parties are under surveillance, but as yet no arrests have been made. The general opinion is that one or two things has happened. namely, that she was either foully murdered or was suicide, with the preponderanee of weight to the murder theory.
 The body was exhumed and the stomach sent to Kraus at Memphis for examination, and the coroner's yer dict was withheld until the analysis can be made, and his report as to whether the stomach contained poison will enter largely into the verdict of the jury.

Biu Thinqs in the House.

By sticking very close 10 busi- ness the House was enabled 10 get through with two very important measures as well as dispose of an i'm pCltant resolution. Ii was strictly Big Things day in that body, as no routine matter was considered aside from some petitions sent up just after the House convened.
 The most important matter. perhaps, was the passage of the bill by MT. Morris of Cleburne. providing for work ing the convicts on the public roads of the state under the supervision of the various county judges. The bill passed by a vote of 63 to ,, which in dicates that it should pass the Senate without particular trouble The chief features of the bill are that it affects only short-term convicts-that is, those on five-year sentence and under; leaves the adoption of the plan option al with the county; places the di- rection of the eonyicts strictly under the jurisdiction of the county judge, who is to name whatever wardens, road experts or other officers he deems necessary for carrying on the work; limits the time to working con victs to 10 hours per day and between sunup and sunset, and gives the county judge the right, with the con sent of the prisoner under indictment. but not yet convicted, to allow such prisoner to work on the roads in advance of his trial. allowing him proper credit therefor, which amount is to be refunded in case of acQuittal or applied on the sentence if finally convicted, but at all times avoiding the necessity ia prisoner lying in jail if he cares to take advantage of the oportunity to work out his prospec- tive sentence in advance.
 The other measure. considerably de- bated and finally adopted, was the Seamaster amendment to the Warnock banking bill. provinding for the de positors' guarantee feature. some what modified from the feature as embodied in the Oklahoma banking law.

 Attention was called to the incident when mule with freshly cut harness hanging about il was discovered on the banks of the stream. Farmers gathered and investigated the case, and after five hours of work the body or Stanley was recovered
 He had attempted to drive across the swollen stream and found himself Tn distress at midstream It was then that he cut the harness from the team and gave them q chance to get out when he knew they would not be able to pull through with the wagon and himself One mule and the wagon were lost in the stream.
