What ia meant by eminent domain have only vague idea. |
 Through eminent domain whoever owns any property or has any interest in the same is liable to have it taken away from him whenever the sov- ereign power of congress or the legis- 1ature of the state in which the same is located shall authorize it's being so appropriated for public use. This pow CT is so comprehensive it relates to every species of property, even includ- ing money (although this has been doubted by some courts), which it may be necessary to take from any source to repeI an invasion, to prevent famine or to furnish relief in any great public calamity.
 The use must always be for public purposes, and, under the guise of a. declaration that it is so intended, it cannot be applied for private uses. However. the constitution provides in terms that no private property shall be taken without just, ample and com plete compensation, whether such a provision is contained in state con stitudon or not In many of the states it is made a condition that before the. property shall be taken provision must be made for it's payment; in others that possession can be taken and the owner afterward must bring his peti- ton for compensation within the al- lotted time stated in theNact giving the right
 PIease give the name of. each country and it's emblem flower.
 The term national flower has no of ficial significance, but those of popular designation are: England, the red rose; France, the iris lily, or hower-de-Fuce; Germany, the linden blossom; Ireland, shamrock leaf; Scotland, the thistle; Canada, the leaf of the sugar maple Many years ago the American Horti- cultural society adopted the golden rod for the United States, and the 1egisla- lures of some states and public school. pupils in others have adopted state flowers. Tn 1913 the Indiana legisla- ture adopted the carnation.

 When was the rural free delivery first started, and who first suggested it7
 Rural delivery was first officially sug- gested by Postmaster General John Wanamaker in his annual report for the fiscal year of 1S91 The first bill authorizing rural delivery was intro .dueed in the house of representatives June 5, 1892. by James O'DonneIl, member of congress from Michigan This bill carried an appropriation of 5000. .O00 but failed of passage.
