VERBENA HELD AS SACRED
Romans Believed That Leaves Of Plant
Would Protect the Wearer
From Injury.

The verbena plant was held in the
greatest veneration by the ancient
Romans, who believed that few
leaves of it worn on the person
would protect against injury, and
Roman brides who gathered and wore
wreath Of verbena were considered
fortunate.
The plant came by Its name from
an old Roman custom. Whenever a
dispute was had with another nation
an official called verbGnerlus was sent
to discuss it with the offending coun-
try. This official wore wreath Of
verbena. If war was decided upon an
iron-tipped spear with sprig of ver-
bena tied to 1t was shot into the en-
envy territory as declaration Of
war.
I The Druids dedicated the verbena to
their prlestess, gathering 1t at the
full moon. No one was allowed to
touch 1t with the hands. 1t was up.
rooted by being tied to the foot of a
young girl. Hungarian gypsles be-
lieve that If a cut iS made in the
palm of the hand and tiny piece Of
verbena leaf is placed In 1t and the
wound allowed to heal over the per-
son will be able to open all locks with
q single touch.--Detroit News.

Rode Horseback 5000 Miles.

The record for the longest individual
ride of which an authentic account has
been given is held by Lieut.. Penchkot
of the Russian cavalry. In 1882 he
rode from his station in distant ST.
IBERIA, a place with an unpronounce.
able name, to st. Petersburg, dis.
lance of over 5000 miles, in 1893 days.
This was more of an endurance than
a. speed test. Riding an ordinary pony
of Siberian breed, carrying no baggage
or provisions, he averaged thirty-seven
miles day and often made more than
fifty-six miles day. He rested at
night. He used the same horse
throughout the trip. Starting, every
morning at Z, he generally made but
one stop for rest during the day, sim
ply loosening the girdle of his saddle
while resting, but retired every night at
8. AS he approached st. Petersburg
after his long ride life guard regi-
ment with two bands met him and es-
corted him into the city, where he was
received by the czar and knighted for
his achievement.
