Another Narcotic Plant.

Major Stuart, writing from Port-au-
Prince, notices a plant growing there OF
such strong narcotic power that, in the
hands Of skillful practitioner, it will
produce coma of any intensity or dura-
ton, or even death itself when so in
tended The knowledge Of This plant,
he says, is confined to Il Jew families,
who transmit the secret AS an heirloom
fro n generation to generation, and the
heritage is highly valued, confirming, it
is thought, the power of miracleworkers,
and pr;ests-for the plant is in many
ways used in aid OF solemn imposture,
superstition and crime. The power
thus exc,cised is called "wanga," a word
that inspires the African with awe and
dread The wanga priest can throw
into death like coma, ana, knowing the
moment OF CONSEQUENCES returning, he
viii make show of recalling to life; or,
if a burglary is to be committed. he can
by means of his art, cast II deep sleep
on his victims. Major Stuart thinks
that this plant would prove a valuable

Lord Beaconsfield Double bedded
Room.

The Extrabalt, of Berlin, has an
amusing story about Bsaconstield
When orders were sent to secure rooms
for him at the Katterschoh' Hotel, it
was especially directed that his sleeping
chamber should have two beds. This
caused much surprise, ms it was known
that he was a widower, and there had
never been an imputation on his private
character. The neral impression WAS
that. being in delicate health, he might
have desired his faithful secrcta Y, Mon
tagu Cory, to sleep in his room. The
walters and chambermaids grinned. and
set themselves to watch the British
plenipotentia'y when he arrived in Bcr-
lin and took possession Of donble-bed-
ded chamber. They found he went to
it all alone, moving with bent head and
the under lip pursed out as usual. Then
began the betting as to which of the
beds theillustriousman occupied A cham
bermaid stole in, and came out with an
astonished face "Both p 1t seems
