THiS OLD CRADLE IS FAMOUS.
Has Rocked Governors. Solons, Army
Officers and Diplomats.
A gray old man entered the vice
/-resident’s room recently, says the
Washington Post. He sought Senator
Drye and after depositing the elec-
toral vote of North Dakota indulged
in reminiscences of the two presiden-
*:ai campaigns in which Andrew Jack-
son won. Although A. 1?. Russell was
then only a lad, bis memory at S3 is
keen. He lias in his mind's eye a
livid picture of how the voters
looked those days in passing to the
polls.
He touched on bis service years
ceo as a fellow commissioner with
Cudwaliader Golden Washburn, for
many terms a member of congress
from Wisconsin, major general of vol-
unteers and likewise governor of the
Badger state. Then Senator Frye be-
came reminiscent, for Cadwailader
hailed from Senator Frye's old con*
cressional district. The North Dako-
ta visitor observed his own regard
for the ex-governor and ex-represent a-
live and mentioned the latter’s gift of
a library to his home town of Livcr-
ni'-re. Me.
“Yes,” murmured Senator Frye, his
mind evidently going back to earlier
days.
“They had a famous cradle in the
corner of the old Washburn residence,
shown the day the library was dedi-
cated,” said Russell.
"Yes,” replied Senator Frye again,
“l oti know, I made a speech that day
and i referred to that old Washburn
ciadie as having rocked four gover-
nors of states, four United States
t epresentatives, three United States
senators, one major general, one cap-
tain in the navy and two foreign min-
i tiers.”

health was com-
pletely broken down.
My back ached and
was so lame that at
times I was hardly
able to dress myself.
I lost my appetite
and was unable to

to be no relief until

ney Pills; but four boxes of this rem-
edy effected a complete and perma-

only positive cure I know.”

New South Wales Wool.
New South Wales owns more than
GO per cent of the entire number of
sheep pastured in the provinces of
Australia. Since 1SG0 the wool clip
has brought to New South Wales alone
the enormous sum of $1,330,000,000.
Nearly 250,000,000 pounds of wool are
yearly exported from New South
Wales. Angora goats have also been
bred in the colony, and there are at
present nearly 40,000 of them in the
country.

Our minds are used to making defi-
nite pictures, and so as we recall
each holiday of the year, we clothe
it in its own material dress. The
Fourth of July we drape in Hags and
fireworks; Christmas -we enwreafhe
in holly and mistletoe; Valentine’s
Day we deck with hearts and darts;
and Easter we embower in flowers
Nature herself is responsible for our
picture of Easter, for at the approach
of this season, the bare fields ar.d
naked trees exert themselves to send
forth some glow of welcome. The
landscape is changed. Instead of
deathlike inactivity, there is the stir
of life-; and aspiration. Man himself
feels a fresh impulse, and as his sym-
pathies broaden out to embrace the
world, he takes new notice of the
plants and blossoms whose awaken-
ing beauty is transforming the city-
park or woodsy glen.
When one comes to observe the
flowers, he learns their names. If he
have a tendency to inquire ’he whys
and wherefores, he soon realizes that
Easter itself has had a great influence
in the naming of plants. The Resur-
rection, of which Easter is the com-
memoration, is the foundation of
Christianity, and before this new re-
ligion swept over Europe, the plants
were often named for pagan deities
We have to-day a reminiscence nf
this in Venus’s Fly Trap and Jupiter's
Beard.
As soon as Christianity converted a
nation, it abolished all pagan names
and substituted in their place the ti-
tles connected with the new- faith.
As men and cities had to be rechris-
tened, so had the piant world also.
The Savior Himself had few plants
named for Him. probably from a feel-
ing of reverence. We have, however,
Christ's Thorn, which is supposed to
have supplied the material for Hi-:
I crown. His mother was much hon-
| ored. All blossoms with “Viigin” pre-
| fixed, as Virgin’s Bower, were named
for her; and those, too. that have
“Maiden,” as Maiden’s Hair, and any
form of “Mary,” as Marigold. Each
flower that reaches us to-day with
“Lady” in its title was originally
“Our Lady,” as “Our Lady’s Slipper”
and “Our Lady’s Tresses.” In the
renaming, many plants were called
after saints. To-day we retain only
a few of these names, as Saint John’s
Wort, Saint Peter's Wreath. Saint
Andrew's Cross, Saint Joseph's Lily
and Veronica. As we have swerved
to secularism, we have again changed
the names, though we have never re-
verted to the original titles held be-
fore the Christian era. We na*ie gen-
erally to pay honor to some noted
person, either scientist or otherwise.
The progress of science is nowhere
more marked than in the popular at-
titude toward plan*?. Our ancestors
were as eager for explanations as wo
are to-day, and not having our scien-
tific information, they interpreted the
peculiarities of the flowers tc suit
their own ideas. Frr,n their interpre-
tation of plants on the economic side,
grew the great Doctrine of Signatures
which ruled the medical world down
to the seventeenth century. This
Doctrine of Signatures explained that
“the mercy of God maketh
the grass to grow upon the mountains
and the herbs for tbe use of man.
and hath not only stamped upon them
a distinct form, but also given them
particular signatures, whereby a man
may read even in legible characters
the use of them
According to this theory, plants
bearing red fruit were good for the
blood; the barberry, because of its
jreliow bark, was a cure for jaundice;
the trembling grass deterred attacks
of ague; Our Lady’s Thistle, with its
numerous prickles, mended a stitch
in the side; the oxalics. having cor-
date leaves, was a preventive of heart
disease; the Solomon's Seal, by cer-
tain marks in its root, writes Gor-
arde, an English surgeon of the six-
teenth century, “taketh away in >. onfl
night, or two at the most, any bruise,
black or blue spots, gotten by falls
or women's willfulness in stumbling
upon their hasty husbands’ fists.”
Our English literature abounds in
allusions to this Doctrine of Signa-
tures, as when Milton in
“Then purged with euphrasy and rue
The visual nerve, for lie had much, to
see”— #
makes Gabriel clear Adam's vision
with the little euphrasy or eyebright.
which, because of a dark, jmpil-like
spot on its corolia, was considered a
cure for weak eyes.
While evolving the Doctrine of Sig*'
natures, on the one hand, our fore-
fathers developed, on the other, a
spiritual lore of plants that connected
the flowers with the foundation^ of
their religion. Our Lady’s Thistle,

The First Easter
Efaring a burden holy
Down from the hill of shame.
With heavy hearts, and slowly,
The friends of Jesus came.
With His dear life forever
All joy and hope had flown;
C> saddest night that ever
This sail old earth has known!
But Oh, the happy morrow.
When at th< break of day
They sought His tomb with sorrow—
The stone was rolled av.ay!
Such happy day shall never
Dawn for the world again,
Yet shall its joy forever
Bless all the sous i f men.

day, it. still grieves, in somber attire,
with bowed head, and still each peta!
ever sheds a pearly tear.
The oxalis, or wood soirel, was
standing at the foot of the cross, and
received some drops of the precious
blood. These she bears even to this
day. The Italians have this same le-
gend about the oxalis, which they call
"alleluia,” to indicate that the little
blossom is glorifying God for its great
privilege. The scarlet anemone, too,
is said to bear the stains of Christ's
blood.
The poppy yet carries the memory
of the cross deeply graven in her
heart. The banana, too, preserves the
cross in the center of its fruit. For
thie reason, the people of the Canary-
Islands will never cut through a ba-
nana as we do; if they ever use a
knife to it. they slice it on lengthwise.
The aspen still shivers with re-
morse because, when Christ passed it
on the way to Calvary, it boldly faced
the heavens, instead of paying hom-
age, as the other trees did. The wil-
low was used for scourges, and ever
since it has bowed its branches in
sorrow. The elder is commonly sup-
posed to be the tree upon which Ju-
das hanged himself. It is not to be
PASSING OF THE SILK HAT.
Headgear Not Fashionable as It Was
Years Ago.
“The silk hat,” said the manager oi
a fashionable hat store, “has about
inn its course for day wear. Only
elderly men, and comparatively few
of them, wear it in the daytime.
“Fifteen years ago we often sold
more silk hats in a day than we now
sell in two weeks. Young men woTe
them then both day and evenings.
You could see processions of silk hats
on Broadway and ail the downtown
streets.
“But the silk hat will return. Its
passing is merely a whim of fashion
It is the most dressy hat a man can
wear and also the most economical.
A good silk hat will stand more wear
end tear than three derbys or fedoras.
It can be ironed to look like new, no
matter what has happened to it,
“Most of our customers are well-to-
do, but lots of them in the old days
wore silk liats for economy’s sake. A
few do yet, for that matter, but they
are men past middle life.”—New York
Sun.
Completed the Cheer.
A day or two ago there appeared
cn the register of the Coates house
the names of Charles Hipp and Mrs.
Hipp of Chicago. A traveling man,
who was the next arrival, picked up
a pen and, hesitating a moment, said
tc the clerk, “1 guess I'll change my
name to-day." Then under the names
of the Chicago guests he wrote, "John

“Queer thing happened on a ear

connected with the, crucifixion. Differ-
ent authorities vary in just what

the box: but Saint Chrysostom quotes
from Isaiah lx:13: “The glory oi
Lebanon (cedari shall come untc
thee, the fir tree, the pine tree, and

sidered four woods necessary to tbe

A Wonderful Discovery.
Broadland, S. Dak., April 17.—Quite
a sensation has been created here by
the publication of the story of G. W.
Gray, who after a special treatment
for three months was prostrate and
helpless and given up to die with
Bright s Disease. Bright's Disease has
always been considered incurable, but
evidently from the story told by Mr.
Gray, there is a remedy which will
cure it even in the most advanced
stages. This is what he says:
“I was helpless as a little babe. My
wife and I searched everything and
read everything we could find about
Bright’s Disease, hoping that I would
be able to find a remedy. Aftet many
failures my wife insisted that I should
try Dodd's Kidney Pills. I praise God
for the day when I decided to do so.
for this remedy met every phase of
my case and in a short time I was
able to get out of bed and after a few
weeks’ treatment 1 was a strong, well
man. Dodd’s Kidney Pills saved my
life.”
A remedy that will cure Bright’s
Disease will cure any lesser Kidney
Disease. Dodd’s Kidney Pills are cer-
tainly the most wonderful discovery
which modern medical research has
given to the world.

ly died at Cambridge. Mass., was a
