Monday and yesterday were gala days for the strawberry shippers along the line or the Wilmington & Weldon railroad, scoring the largest shipments which ever left North Carolina. Mon- day the shipments reached over 9,400 erates, and yesterday it took a train of thirty ‘cars to haul the strawberries, which amounted to over ten thousand erates. They were packed in the large Calitornia transportation cars, and it was the largest shipment of berries that ever lett the South.— Wilmington Star. Foren ee ee A Bad Wreck. There was a very bad wreck on the Norfolk and Carolina railroad near Palmyra Tuesday morning about 7 o’clock. Two through freight trains, one of the Southern railroad going north, and one of the Nurfolk and Carolina going south, one of 35 cars and the other of 36 cars, collided. The engines were demolished and thirty or, forty cars splintered but no one was seériously hurt. Rumor had it that the engineer on the Norfolk and Carolina train disre- garded orders to stop at Palmyra, think- ing that as the Southern’s train was a little late he could make Hobgood before meeting it. No trains passed all day Tuesday, but passenners and baggage were transferred and south.—Scotland inasmuch pxssed north and Neck Democrat. comets eee oe — Right and Left Limbs. The. physiologists. and scientists -in general have been making some curious experiments with a view to determine the relative length and strength of “right” and “left” limbs. Fifty and nine-tenths per cent, of the men meas- ured had the right arm stronger than the left; 16 4-10 per cent. had the two arms of cqual length and strength, and 32 7-10 per cent. had the left arm stronger than the right. Of women 46 9-10 per cent. had the right arm stronger than the left; 24 5-10 per cent. had the left stronger than the right. In order to arrive at the average of length of limbs, 50 skeletons were meas- ured, 25 of each sex. Of these 23 had the right arm and left leg longer, six the left arm and right leg, while in 17 cases all the members were more or less equal in length.—Home Queen. W. L.COOPER, Ag’t.

This un- doubtedly comes to us through the | Latin from the Greek “rodon,” a word which is now agreed to be, in the wider sénse, oriental, not Greek. But.to which of the two great families of language it belongs is less certain, Heyn main- tains it to be Iranian—that is, of the Aryan family—of the older tongue of Pcrsia and Bactria; and Persia might unquestionably put strong claims to be the true native country of the rose. But Prof. Skeat, who has the majority of modern authorities on his side, de- clares it to be a pure Semitic word—the Arabic “ward,” a flowering shrub, thus denoting the flower of flowers par ex- cellence. It is worth noticing that the Persian word “gul” similarly meant at. first only a perfumed flower, but has come to be used of the rose alone. “Ut rosa flos florum sic est domnits ista domorum” is the emphatic way in which the inscription ever the lovely chapter-house at York claims itas being the very flower of architecture. But theories, however, of the name agree with all other indications that we of the rose, much as that of our earliest forefathers, in the central or western central distriet.of Asia; but, instead of spreading only in a westerly direction, the rose took, apparently, a more catholic view of the earth, and ex: panded impartially east and west, with- out showing any reluctance about longi- tude, while disliking the more violent changes of temperature implied by an extension of latitude. It has been found by travelers as far south as Abyssinia in one hemisphere and Mex- ico in the other; but it. never seems, voluntarily, to come very near to the equator. Northward, however, noth- ing seems to stop it, since it has con- quered Iceland, Greenland and Kamt- chatka. . “In Iceland, so (in)fertile in vegeta- tion that in some parts the natives are compelled to feed their horses, sheep and oxen on dried fish, we find the rosa rubiginosa, with its pale, solitary, cup- shaped flowers; and in Lapland, bloom- ing almost under the snows of that severe climate, the natives seeking mosses and lichens for their reindeer find the roses maialis and rubella, the of a sweet perfume, enlivens the dreari- ness of Norway, Denmark and Sweden.” —Quarterly Review.
