The Shamrock.

While a small variety OF the COM
mon clover has been adopted as ST.
Patricli's shamrock, the real sham
rock is not that plant, since the com
mon clover has only lately been in
troduced into ireland, and is not
native of that island. The true sham
rock is the delicate little wood-sorrel,
OXalis acetosella, which has a beau
tifully formed three-spllt or tre3oil
leaf of the most vivid green color,
4and a white flower like that Of a ger
Mnium. 1t is called "fairy-bell" by tie
Welsh, and was believed to ring
chimes for the elfin folk. 1t was also

RAILROADS STOP ALL CONSTRUCTION WORK
They Lay off 10000 LahOrers in the Northwestern Doubt
About Future. -RstrenChment Follows Federal Policy of
Preventing Advance in Freight Rates.

President Howard Elliott Issued a
statement giving the reasons for the
action of the railroads, He says:
-Four forces, namely, increased
taxes, increased prices for labor and
material, increased facilities, both in
quantity and quality, and the en-
larged powers Of the railway commits
sions, are all working to reduce the
net earnings Of railway companies,
so that it seems prudent for boards
of directors and for railway officers
to consider most carefully not only
their duty to the travellers and ship
pers over their roads but also their
duty to the very large number of peo-
pie whose money Is invested in rail-
roads, and tue large class Of invest
ors to whom the railroads must go II
they are to obtain money for addi-
lions and Improvements and extern
sions. 1t seems, therefore, the part
Of wisdom not to engage In new en-
terprises at the present time and not
to undertake too much railroad work
