CoNsUL-GENERAL MERRITT, in London, re-
Gently sent a circular letter to the United
States consuls in Ireland requesting informa-
ton in regard to the distress prevailing in
Ireland. Mr.. Merritt, in a report summarize
ing the answers of the ~consuls. says that
their statements, while admitting the gravity
of the situation, agree that the distress at
present is not exceptional, and that the pub
lished accounts to the contrary are ex-
aggerated. In the poorer agricultural dis
tricts the condition of the peasantry is miser-
able. The partial failure of the potato crop in
parts of Ireland has to some extent aggra-
waited the situation. The fisheries have been
unsuccessful, and the rainy autumn and win
ter have interfered with the work of the
laborer. The prospects of ~ameliorating the
condition of the people in the immediate
future are most discouraging. The consuls
agree that the present condition must act as
a powerful stimulus to emigration.

Poisonous Plants and Flowers.

There are many plants whose leaves,
flowers and seed contain virulent
poisons, which every one should know,
so as to avoid them and keep children
from them.
Buttercups possess a poisonous prop
erty which disappears when the
flowers are dried in hay no COW will
feed upon them while in blossom. So
caustic are the petals that they will
sometimes intlame the skin of tender
fingers. Every child should be eau
tionel against eating them indeed,
it is desirable to caution childreA about
tasting the petals of any flower, or
putting leaves into their mouths,
except those known to be harmless.
The oleander contains a deadly
poison in its leaves, and is said to be a
dangerous plant for the parlor or
dining-room. The flower and berries
of the wild briony possess a powerful
purgative and the red berries, which
attract children, have pOved fatal.
The seeds of the ldburnum and catalpa
trees should be kept from children;
and there is a poisonous property in
their bark. The seeds of the yellow
and of the rough-podded vetches
will produce nause and severe head
ache.
Fo Us parsley has tuberous roots
which have been mistaken for turnips
and produce a fatal effect an hour after
they were eaten.
Meadow hemlock is said to be the
hemlock which Socrates drank; it kills
by it's intense action upon the nerves,
producing complete insensibility, and
palsy of the arms and legs, and is a
most dangerous drug, except in skill
full hams. In August it is found in
every field, by seashore and near noun
tain tops, in full bloom, and ladies and
children gather it's large clusters of
tiny white flowers in quantities, with
out the least idea of their poisonous
qualities. The water hemlock, or cow
bane, resembles parsnip, and has been
eaten for them with deadly effects.
The water-dropwort resembles celery
when not in flower and its roots are
also similar to those of the parsnip, but
they contain a virulent poison, pro-
ducing commissions which end in death
in IA short time. The iine-leaved
water-dropwort and the common drop
wort are also dangerous weeds.
The bulbs of the daffodil were once
mistaken for leeks and boiled in soup,
with very disastrous effects, making
the whole household intensely maui
seated, andthe children did not recover
from their effects for several days.
