Reason for Using Botanical Names

Friend John Bartram-I notice you often
employ jaw-breaking, long names in mention
ing plants Why do you do this? Isn't such a
practice apt TO confuse readers? GUS
Popular names vary considerably. according
to locality. etc. often the same flower has
two or three names. The Latin scientific
names are fixed. They nre used. when noueB-
sary. to insure safety of in ordering.

POLICE ROUND
UP MENDICANTS
CAUGHT ROBBING

Thursday Afternoon Patrolman Frost
and officer Weymouth went to the
river bank back Of the colleges, where
they collected In three hoboes and a
young fellow who was thoroughly
drunk and who was being robbed by
the aforesaid boes. He had fallen in
with them earlier in the day and they
had drunk UP all his money and had
then persuaded him to accompany
them up back Of the colleges where by
a system Of trades they were getting
his clothes, which were good and warm
in exchange for the wornout ones
which they possessed. They had sue
ceeded in getting possession of his
shoes and coat and vest when the Of
ficers arrived. All were taken to the
station and were booked as DRINKS. If
the Young fellow cares to appear
against them in court in the morning 1t
is probable that q charge Of larceny
will be lodged against them. While
they were up there a hurry call was
sent in for an officer at Dickinson's
harness shop on Temple street and
Patrolman Washburn was hurried
there. He found that a man had enter
ed the doorway of me upstairs part
where rooms are let and upon reaching
the top Of the stairs had laid himself
down to rest. 1t took considerable per-
suasion on the part Of the ofncer to
get the man to his feet and then he
could barely walk to the station. He

drunk and really looked In very bad
