POISONOUS LecUMINoUs PLANTS.

Leguminous plants, on account Of
the great abundance Of albnminous
material, in addition to starch, found
in their seeds, have always been con-
sidered the equals of the most nutri-
tious cereals-such as wheat, ETC.
as articles of food. OF such plants
the common bean has probably been
largest known and is most widely
distributed. 1t was cultivated by
the Jews, and considered as sacred by
the Greeks and Romans. A temple
to the God of Beans. Kyanetes, stood
upon the sacred road tc Eleusis; and
the KydaepsiG, or bean feast, which
the Athenians celebrated in honor of
Apollo, was characterized by the use
of these legumes. To the Egyptians
the bean was an impure fruit, and
they did not venture to touch it. The
black on the white wings of the
flowers was formerly looked upon as
the written character of death; for
which reason the bean in ancient
times passed as the symbol Of death.
1t has been reserved for modern times
to learn that death. may indeed
s.lurk in the pot with at least some
of these hitherto unsuspected pod
fruited plants. Attention has been
called to the fact by DR.. Rothroch
The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1878-08-08

that certain legumin0us plants grow

cattle have quite often given evidence
OF poisoning, which on investigation
has been traced to the plant O.rytro-
Pis LAMBERT. The effects that follow
the eating of this plant appear to be
long enduring. the animal becoming

arizona, another plant, Hosackia
PurshiGnG, the effects of which are
similar to the proceeding. Accord
ing to the academy, Professor Cohn
has recently reported case of the
poisoning Of hundreds of sheep. at
Namslau, from eating Lupinus. Two
circumstances were spoken of as nro.
bable cases. Professor Cehn had.
a year previously, demonstrated the
existence in Lupinus, of an active
bitter principle, Of which the poison
GUS properties, closely allied to the
poisonous alkaloid of the water hem.
lock. are established. The other
possible cause was found to be the
occurrence, in most of the specimens
submitted, of sclerotia, which burst
out in the form of small black warts
closely arranged in parallel SERIES.
Professor Cohn remarked that the
question as to whether the poisoning
should be attributed to the lupine or
the fungus must be settled Ivy chemi-
cal investigation. Subsequent ex-
periments however, in cultivating
the fungus from the sclerotium have
not as yet led to the production Of
any specific form that could have pro-
duced the poisoning. The lupines
grow wild throughout the whole Of
Europe and in India and Arabia, and
are mostly used as food for cattle, al
though the seeds are sometimes used
by the poorer class Of people. Ameri-
ca has also its lupine (Lupinus peren-
mis) and its bitter seeds are eaten
from Canada to Florida. Another
poisonous leguminous plant proves to
be Sophora specinsd, from Texas.
From the seeds Of this DR.. H. G.
Wood, Jr., has extracted an alkaloid
which he calls Sophorid. The effects
of this are stated to resemble those
of the calabar bean. The seeds are
used by the Indians of Texas to in.
duce an intOxication which lasts from
two to three days. Half a bean, will,
it is said, cause intoxication, and
whole one may be productive Of dan.
gerous symptoms. AS to the aka
loid, DR.. Wood states that three
grains of it hypodermically failed to
very seriously affect dog, but killed
a cat in short time.

SCIENCE
THE AUSTRALIAN JABlRu.

The Jabirus rank among the giants
OF the feathered race. There are
very few species known. and they all
seem to have similar habits---hunting
on the borders Of lakes, marshy
grounds, and banks of rivers, where
they find abundance of fish and
aquatic reptiles on which they feed.
The Australian Jabiru appears to
be very rare bird. and it is extreme
~ wary and haunts wide expenses
where but little cover can be found.
It can without difficulty be approach
ed. To shoot one is difficult task.
A good sportsman, who succeeded at
last in killing jabiru. followed it for
several days before he could get
within long range of the suspicious
bird. DR.. Bennett in his ssGather-
lngs OF a Naturalist in Australia"
gives an interesting account of one Of
these birds which he tanned.
In its coloring the Australian jabiru
is q very handsome bird, and it's
movements are quiet, majestic, easy,
and graceful. The large head and
neck are rich, shining green, changing
to rainbow tints of violet and purple
upon the back Of the head, the feath-
ers cleaning in the sun with light
metallic radiance. The greater wing
coverts, scapularies, lower part of the
back, and tail are dark brown mixed
with rich blush green, which changes
in the adult to a rich, glossy green
tinged with a golden luster. The
smaller wing coverts, lower part of
the neck and back. and upper part of
the breast are white, speckled with
ashy brown, but become pure white
in the adult; the lower part of the
breast, thighs, and inner part of the
wings white; eyes brilliant hazel in
color. The legs are blackish with
dark tinge Of red, becoming of a
bright red color in the adult; and
when the bird flies with the legs
stretched out, the legs look like long
red tail. DR.. Benefits specimen
measured three feet and ten inches to
the top of the head, but vas not full
grown they are said to attain a height
of four or five feet.

PLANTAIN LEAVES IN TOoTHAcHE.

A homeopathic physician states
that he has found in the large Leaf
plantain sure remedy for toOthache.
This plant, which is so common in
every door yard as to prove nui-
sance. was highly esteemed by the
ancients, who employed it in liemor-
rhages particularly from the lungs),
consumption, dysentery, and other
complaints. In modern times it has
been sometimes used for similar
purposes, but is now generally be-
lieved to possess very feeble proper
ties. The leaves are saline, bitterish
and austere to the taste; the root sa-
line and sweetish.
For toothache our authority gath
ers the plant when the towering spike
has grown to full perfection. The
leaves are chopped up finely, closely
packed in a bottle, and covered with
strong alcohol for week. At the
end OF this time the bright green
color of the tincture has changed to
brown, and it is fit for use. In using
it piece of cotton wool is saturated
with the tincture and inserted in the
cavity of the tooth, and four drops of
the same put in half a tumbler of wa
ter, and teaspoonful taken for a
dose. BY rubbing the tinctnre on
the gums. it was found to lessen the
pain of infants in the process of teeth
ing; when in the ear it is said to be
equally efficacious in earache. AS
there are undoubtedly many plants
of whose medicinal virtues we are
perfectly ignorant, and as toothache
is one of those torments which often
battle all attempts on the part Of the
physician to cure it, it may, remarks
the Medical Press and Circular. be
worth while to give this reputed rem
edy further trial-a trial which may
not be delayed in the case Of such a
common complaint as that of the
toothache.
1t will be observed that this tine
ture of plantain leaves is directed to
be made with strong alcohol; from
the known effects of liquors like bran.

than dilute alcohol) in relieving the

THE ENDLESS PROCESSION.

THE ENDLESS PROCESSION.
Down the vista of the ages,
Saints and sinners, fools and sages,
Marching onward, slow and solemn,
Go in never ending column
Here the honest, here the knave;
With rhythmetic step sublime
To the grave.
Like the rolling of a river,
Going on and on forever,
Never resting never staying,
Never Tor on instant Straylng,
Peer and peasant, lord and slave,
Equals soon to mix and mingle
In the grave
Duty cannot, nor can pleasure,
For moment break the measure:
They are marching on to doom.
They are moving to the tomb,
All the coward, all the brave,
Soon to level all distinction
In the grave.
Since the morning of creation,
Without break or termination,
Ever ON the line is moving,
All the loved and all the loving,
All that mothers ever gave
On to silence and to Slumber
In the grave.
Here no bride the bond can weaken,
Here no substitute is taken;
Each one for himself-no other,
Son or father; no, nor brother;
Love the purest cannot save;
Each alone the roll must answer
At the grave.
Who commands the dread procession
That shall know no retrogression?
Who can be the great director?
Ha! that grim and grisly spectre,
Him that Sin to satan gave:
Death, the mighty King Of Terrors,
And the grave.
