Cosmopolitan Cranks.

Long-haired men wearing broad.
brimmed hats and high-topped boots,
who occasionally appear in this part OF
the country, are invariably set down ne
wild Westerners or bad men from
Texas, but, according to the Laramie
boomerang, the same sort of individual
creates sensation there. One of these
men got off n west-bound train Mt that
city, the other day, and attracted at
tention because of his long hair,
swarthy complexion, and the wearing
of earrings and bracelets. On being
interviewed this eccentric person proved
to be n citizen of Connecticut, which
has not been considered Western
State for some years. He was on his
way to Montana, where he expects to
take the hcadwaters OF the Yellowstone
for starting point and go down to
New Orleans, a trip over 5000 miles.
He will use small tlat-bottomed skilf,
provided with ruddcr and sail, and cook
and sleep on board, tying up ut night
when too dark to navigate with safety.
Cranks, IL Is thus seen, even those with
long hair, are not confined to one mar
row section of country.

Eaten By Goats Only.

At about three marches distant from
Suakin, in the valleys round the foot Of
Jcbcl Drus, the vegetation is unusually
plentiful and varied. Together with
the acacia are found kind of thorny
box tree: whose botanical name | do not
know: beautiful golden tinted aloe
with crimson blossom, In full flower ut
tho time of my visit, and singular
looking shrub, often attaining the di-
mansions of large apple tree, and
called by the natives Wtshdr or uShdr.
Its botanical name is aSclcpia pr0cerd.
The bark is whitish yellow and cork
like in texture; the leaves ovatc in form,
four to five inches long, and of bright
glossy green, and when broken exude a
thick, white, milky juice like that of
the poppy or dandclion. The blossom
is pinkish white, and produces fruit
about the size of large orange, but
grooved down one side like peach.
ii is bright green in color, and consists
of IN inflated skin. In the center are
numerous flat seeds, surrounded by q
large quantity of silky-whitc fibre. The
milky Juice Of this tree Is used for poi
soning arrows and lance heads, and If
brought in contact with the eye causes
immediate and violent inflammation of
the most violent kind, which usually
terminates in the complete destruction
of the organ. The leaves are, UNDER
stand, used in the preparation of morris
sa, fermented drink made from mil
let. II is curious fact that while all
other animals carefully avoid even con-
tact with the Dishdr tree, goats eat its
leaves and fruits with avidity, being tho
only creatures, believe, who can do so
with impunity. Cor. London Nsws
