UNIVERSITY OP OREGON. Eugene,
Or.. May 8. (Special.) In the
article of Sunday, May 2, In thia
botanical series. It was pointed that
the orchid, instead " of being- a rare,
exotic plant, is ' really. . not uncommon
in Oregon, this state possessing nine
genera with about 24 species of orchids.
The calypso was described as one of
the commonest of the orchid family.
Today four more specimens of
orchids found In Oregon are given brief
descriptions. They are:
Coral Root (Fir. 1) So named from
the peouliar root, which has something
the appearance, of coral. : Considerable
patience and no small labor. Is neces
sary to dig out the root, as it Is usually
deeply burled. The plant has no green
leaves and Is a strict parasite or sapro
phyte, obtaining its nourishment from
dead organic matter or from other
plants. We have two species, one with
stripes on the lip, the other with spots.
They grow in deep woods.
. Rattlesnake Plantain (Fig. 2)
Common in dark woods, among the
moist moss. It Is found in Macleay
Park, Portland,, also Is widely distrib
uted through the state. It is named
from -the peculiar mottled leaves.
Tway Blade (Fig. 3) The meaning
of the name is evident. Tway Blade Is
a' delicate plant with inconspicuous
greenish flowers. It is an inhabitant

the woman who has been cured of
some dreadful ailment peculiar to her
sex who after long suffering has finally
found relief and been restored to health
and usefulness by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. These are the women who KNOW that
this great remedy for women's ills is all it is claimed to be there
are many thousands of such women they dwell in all parts of
the country. Every day of every year, some woman, somewhere,
letters for restoration to health.
Vegetable Compound
This from Mrs. S. T. Richmond, Providence, R. I.
Providence, R. I., " For the benefit of women who
suffer as I have done I wish to state what Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me. I did
some heavy lifting and the doctor said it caused a displace
ment. I have always been weak and I overworked after
my baby was' born and inflammation set in, then nervous
prostration, from which I did not recover until I had taken
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. The Com
pound is my best friend and when I hear of a woman
with troubles like mine I try to induce her to take your
medicine." Mrs. S. T. Richmond, 199 Waldo Street, Prov
idence, Rhode Island.
EF" Every sick woman owes it to herself to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a
trial, for it cannot harm her, and there are a hundred chances to one that it will completely
restore her health. For special advice write The Lydia E. Pinkham Med. Co., Lynn, Mass.

Read this Letter from Mrs.' Waters.
Camden, N. J. "I was sick for two years with nervous
spells, and my kidneys were affected. . I had a doctor all the
time and used a galvanic battery,, but , nothing did me any
good. I was not able to go to bed,' but spent my time on a
couch or in a sleeping-chair, and soon became almost a skel
eton. Finally ; my doctor went away for his health, and my
husband heard of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
and got me some. In two months I got relief and now I
am like a new woman and am atvmy usual weight. I
recommend your medicine to every one and so does my
husband." Mrs. Tillie Waters, 5o0 Mechanic Street,
Camden, New Jersey.
of the thick wojods and Is easily
passed by.
True Lady s Slipper (Fig. 4) These
Interesting plants are rare and usually
reward only the careful search. The
showy Mountain Lady's Slipper has a
many-leaved stem and Is to be found
in Western Oregon. The California
Lady's Slipper is yellow and found In
Southern Oregon. The Jack Rabbit's
Slipper has only two leaves on Its
stem and prows more in the open.
III. Long Political Reach
"I've got the best memory of any
body In this neighborhood!" boasted
old Uncle Rippy. "Why, I can actually
recollect the time when a cabinet organ
was., regarded as a musical Instrument!"

Southern California Blacks Don't
Want Separate Education.
SACRAMENTO. May 5. Southern
California's colored c itizens voiced
through a score of organizations their
opposition to a proposal to locate a
polytechnic school In the colored col
ony, at Allensworth, Tulare County. W.
E. Easton, of Los Angeles, asserted
that the bill asking an appropriation
for the Tulare County Institution was
simply the opening wedge for the seg
regation of races in the public schools
of California. "Speaking for 35,000 col
ored citizens of Southern California."
asserted Easton. "I wish to assert that
we arc fully satisfied with the present
educational institutions in the state. In
Los Angeles County members of our
race are not only graduated by all the
educational Institutions, but colored
girls are teaching in the public schools.
This bill placing a polytechnic school
in the Allensworth settlement does not
meet with the favor of my own people;
we desire to see it beaten."
Another vigorous protest came from
Hugh MacBeth. representing the Eh
Angeles County forum. Chairman
Wright, of the ways and means com
mittee, said that three-fourths -of the
oolored population of the state is in
Los Angeles County and that their op
position is unanlmoub. The hill will
probably be asphyxiated in committee.

and then he loses his watch."

"What makes him act so queerly?"
"He wants people to understand that
