Poisonous Grasses.

Some curious cases of poisoning, or intoxica-
ton, if that may be considered better word
by grasses, in which farm animals were Sc
riously influenced by feeding on them, These
cases are reported by Dr. Hance in the journal
of Botany. The particular plant treated of is
the Stipa Siberica, which has been found to
poison horses at Galmuz, Kashmir. Prof
Dyer suggested that the Stipas may be only
mechanically poisonous, like the Hordeum
pratense; but DR.. Hance thinks the symptoms
opposed to such supposition. In the recently
publishedt translation of Przevalsky 's"Travels,"
the Alaskan poisonous grass is said to be a
species of LolIum; but the native herds care
fully avoid eating it, as the cattle Of Kashmir
refuse the Stipa. In Part % of Messrs. Trmen
& Bently's Medical Plants, there is given
a representation of Lolieum temulentum of
Linneus, and an account of it's so-called poison
GUS properties. Mr.. A. S. Wilson of Aber.
deem ate at different times large quantities of
it, at times daily, without experiencing any
deleterious effects; on the contrary, he found
it quite harmless This fact has led to the
suggestion that the poisonous or intoxicating
quality is due to the presence of ergot. 1t
would seem that grasses are poisonous only in
two ways-mecha ncaly, like Hordeum pra-
tense, or when afflicted with ergot or some 9TH
er disease. Further experiments are much to
be desired, especially in view of the fact that
so little is known upon the subject.

Lice on House Plants.

A correspondent writes asking: ,'What will
remove lice from house plantsY' Solutions of
soap or soap suds made from potash soap, whale
oil soap, carbolic soap and the like, are quite
effectual remedies against plant lice, The
strength of the suds should not be sufficient to
iniure the foliage, and should be applied as
warm as the hand can bear. The plants may
be immersed in the suds, or the suds may be
applied to every part with syringe, or the
branches may be bent over and dipped in a
dish of suds. The application should be re-
peated every three days for three weeks, or un-
til the lice are all dead and the eggs of the lice
all Matched and the young destroyed. Plants
may also be freed from lice by being placed in
barrel and smoked with tobacco, repeating
the process q few times to secure complete de-
struction of the cts.-Lea9iSton Journal.

Debasing the Com.

The device OF attempting to enrich the
public by debasng the country's coin is
nothing new. The plan was tried in old
Rome, nearly 1000 years ago, and has
been tried in other countries. and always
dlSaStrouSly Tor the country trying it.
The coinage OF England, though it has
suffered less from this trouble than that
of countries still older, has, nevertheless
been at times badly debaSed. and this has
wrought vast misery and trouble to the
English people. At the time of the Nor
man conquest the pound Of silver a.
weighed t. ounces, according 10 the svS

In the time of Edward |. the stand

the number Of ShllingS made from a

and "hettered." till, in Queen Elizaheth's
time three centuries ago, no fewer than

The strange story that considerable
numbers Of Florida negroes have been
kidnapped and sold into slavery in Cuba,
needs confirmation before it can be ac-
cepted. But Mr.. Hayes, though aston
ished, is inclined to think there is some
thing in it, and has commissioned Con-
gresham Leonard, Of Louisiana, who
speaks the Spanish language to 60 to
Cuba and investigate. 1t seems as if it
would have been more discreet not to
give this news to the public at present,
for the commissioner is as yet only on his
way to Cuba, and if there is any DISPOSE
ton there to cover up such things, this
reported crime can be all safely hidden
by the time Mr.. Leonard gets to Havana

4 pretty incident is reported to have oc-
cured during the performance of aida
ut Chicago the other evening. When the
house was applaudng the singing Of
Marie Roze, pretty little child was put
forward on the balustrade of a box in
which her parents were, her chubby
hands grasping a superb bouquet for the
dusky Princess Nine. Roze took the
flowers, and, moved to admiration by the
beauty and tender youth Of the giver,
bent down and kissed her, and the little
one, not at all abashed at the dark face
strange dress and glistening Jewels of the
prima donna, returned the kiss with per
feet self possession, and was taken back
again into the box, clapping her hands in
childish glee. The incident touched the
heart Of the house, and the applause was
yoclterous.

When Bayard Taylor first went to Eu-
rope, he footed it nearly all the way over
the continent, and received from two pa
pers very megre pay for such communica-
tons as he furnished them. Now many
years after, he goes as the accredited rep
resentative Of the best nation on earth to
the one whose ruler is the acknowledged
holder Of the destinies of the peace Of
Europe in his hands. On Mr. Tayl0r's
first trip, the mighty empire, to which he
goes, was but one Of the smaller kindoms.
Truly, time works wonders.
