Many Sources of Suggestion, but Few
of the Appellations Are Malicious
—Geographical Features Have
Given Rise to Some.
Nearly everyone of the states of the
Union has a nickname suggestive of its
chief product, physical character or
historic association, and some of the
states have a dual nickname of two
or more nicknames, which in most
cases appear to be equally popular and
about evenly employed in current use.
California is called both "Golden
State" and "El Dorado;" Connecticut
is the "Nutmeg State," the "Freestone
State," and also the "Land of Steady
Habits;" Delaware is the "Ulue Hen
State" and also the "Diamond State,"
and Georgia is the "Cracker State" and
also the "Empire State of the South."
The sons of Illinois speak of it both
as the "Sucker State" and the "Prairie
State;" Kansas answers to-the name
of "Sunflower State," "Central State"
and "Jayhakwer State;" Kentucky Is
known as the "Blue Grass State" and
Louisiana is the "Pelican State" and
the "Creole State."
Minnesotans affectionately or famil-
iarly describe their state as the ''Goph-
er State," the "Bread and Butter
State," and the "New England of the
West;" Michigan is the "Wolverine
State" and the "Lake State;" Nebras-
ka is the "Silver State" and the "Sage
Hen State," and New York is the "Em-
pire State" and the "Excelsior State."
If a man speaks of the "Old North
State" or the "Turpentine State" or
the "Tarheel State' he means North
Carolina; Oregon- is the "Beaver
State" and the "Web Foot State;"
South Dakota is the "Swing Cat State"
and the "Blizzard State," "Washington
is the "Chinook State" and the "Ever-
green State" and Virginia is repeated-
ly spoken of as the "Old Dominion,"
the "Mother of States" and the "Moth-
er of Presidents."
The general nickname of Maryland
is the "Old Line State" and it is
sometimes called the "Oyster State"
and the "Terrapin State." Maine is
either the "Pine Tree State" or tho
"Lumber State."
Using geographical features as nick-
names are Florida, the "Peninsula
State;" Massachusetts, the "Bay
State;" Mississippi, the "Bayou State;"
Tennessee the "Big Bend State;"
Vermont, the "Green Mountain State"
and West Virginia, "The Panhandle."
Animals give their names to Arkansas,
the "Bear State;" North Dakota, the
"Flickertail State;" and Wisconsin, the
"Badger State."

Madame Sans-Gene.
In spite of all the nursing and
mourning in the city, Paris still re-
tains a touch of gayety. It is related
that a certain lawyer of Paris, whose
delight it has always been to make
solemn folks laugh, appeared the oth-
er day as counsel for a woman
charged with some not too grave mis-
demeanor. She was only a washer-
woman, she was elderly and plain,
and the court was distinctly bored
"Gentlemen," the lawyer exclaimed
suddenly, addressing the bench, "gen-
tlemen, you cannot find my client
guilty."
"And wiry not?" asked the presid-
ing magistrate somewhat sharply.
"Because," came the smooth reply,
"she washes for General Joffre, and it
is her glorious privilege at this mo-
ment to be weeping into one of his
handkerchiefs."
The entire bench of magistrates
thereupon gave strict attention to the
case. They not only found the wash-
erwoman guilty as charged, but added
ten days to her sentence for stealing
General Joffre's handkerchief.

Electric Battleship.
The United States is the first na-
tion to use electricity in place of
steam to propel a battleship. That
will be the motive power on the
dreadnauglit California—where it will
be used according to a method that
has been thoroughly tested and per-
fected on the big 19,000-ton collier Ju-
piter, where it has proved most suc-
cessful. The advantages are many.
As the speed of a vessel run by elec-
tricity can be instantly changed, the
dangerous "racing" of the propellers
in heavy seas can be prevented. Then,
an elcctric-power plant occupies far
less spaco and weighs less than ma-
rine engines that produce an equal
amount of energy. Finally, the cost
of maintenance and repairs is> much
less, and there is a great saving in
coal. The new dreadnaught will prob-
ably have two plants; if one gets out
of order, the ship can still proceed by
means of the other.

Persian Lamb Fur.
It Is said that after enormous dan-
gers and difficulties, the secret of pro-
ducing the lambs from which the Per-
sian lamb lur is secured, has at length
been brought to America by an official
of the United States department of
agriculture. This official, Doctor Young
of Texas, made extensive Investiga-
tions in Bokhara, and succeeded in dis-
covering the kind of sheep whose
lambs produco the so much sought aft-
er fur. Contrary to common belief, I
the fur is not taken from unborn
lambs, but from those a few days old.
It is said that there is possibility of !
our own department of agriculture tak- !
Ing up this work also, and that the i
lambs will be raised both in Canada
and the United StateB. — East anJ

"California Syrup of Figs" can't
harm tender stomach,
liver and bowels.
Every mother realizes, after giving
her children "California Syrup of
Figs" that this is their ideal laxative,
because they love its pleasant taste
and it thoroughly cleanses the tender
little stomach, liver and bowels with-
out griping.
When cross, irritable, feverish, or
breath is bad, stomach sour, look at
the tongue, mother" If coated, give a
teaspoonful of this harmless "fruit
laxative," and in a few hours all the
foul, constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the bow-
els, and you have a well, playful child
again. When its little system is full
of cold, throat sore, has stomach-ache,
diarrhoea, indigestion, colic—remem-
ber, a good "inside cleaning" should
always be the first treatment given.
Millions of mothers keep "California
Syrup of Figs" handy; they know a
teaspoonful today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Ask at the store for a 50-
cent bottle of "California Syrup of
Figs," which has directions for babieB,
children of all ages and grown-ups
printed on the bottle. Adv.

Canadian Wheat.
to Feed ihe World'
The war's fearful devastation of European
crops has caused an unusual demand for grain
from the American Continent. The people of the
world must be fed and there is an unusual demand
for Canadian wheat. Canada's invitation to every
industrious American is therefore especially attrac-
tive. She wants farmers to make moneyand happy,
prosperous homes for themselves while helping
to raise immense wheat crops.
You can get a Homestead of 160 acres FREE and
other lands can be bought at remarkably low prices. Think of the money you
can make with wheat at its present high prices, where for tome time it is lia-
ble to continue. During many years Canadian wheat fields have averaged 20
bushels to the acre—many yields as high as 45 bushels to the acre. Wonderful
crops also of Oats, Barley and Flax.
Mixed farming is fully as profitable an industry as grain raising. The excel-
lent grasses,full of nutrition,are the only food required either for beef or dairy i
purposes. Good schools, markets convenient, climate excellent, '
Military service Is not compulsory In Canada, but there is an extra demand tor farm
labor to replacu the many young men who hive volunteered (or the war. The Gov-
ernment this year is urging farmers to put exUa acreage into grain.
