About the Weed Family
T ' H A T pestiferous weed, the plantain,
which people have to dig out of
their lawns nnd dooryards Is anything
but a romantic or mystic plant In ap
pearance nnd yet It figures prominent
ly In myth and superstition. In this
country It appenrs In folk-medlvlne as
a cure fo r bee stings and something
to "draw out polgou" from any wound
or sore.
The Indians call It white man’s
foot for with the white man the
plantain came to this country ns It
has traveled In hls company to all
parts o f the enrth. A native of tern
perate Asia nnd Europe the weed has
wandered always w ith the white man
and never appears where he Is not or
has not been. This can be accounted
for, of course, without ending upon
the supernatural. The Insidious seed

uncanny In the way In which the
plantain follows the white man’s foot-
steps. The
name Itself Is from
“plants,” meaning the sole of the foot.
In this country nnd England the
plantain Is sometimes called way-
bread and the fact that It so persist
ently haunts the tracks of man Is ac
counted for by an old legend o f Ger
man origin to the effect that It was
formerly a maiden who, a fte r long
waiting in vain by the wayside for
her lover, was changed Into this weed.
And In this form she has ever since
huunted the footsteps of men looking
for the recreant one. In this ancient
legend we see agnln the Idea of prim i
tive man of a metamorphosis hy
which animal and vegetable forms
were changed the one Into the other.
To those who regarded mankind as
descended from the oak or the ash It
seemed quite natural that a disconso
late maiden should be changed Into a
plantain.
