Poisonous Plants.
Lrcy CARTER

Mr.. Leo Grindon, an Englishman. esti-
mates that out of the 100000 known species
Of Towering plants 10000 are more or less
poisonous or hurtful. 1t is a well known
fact that the married man who is obliged to
carry in his towering plants several nights in
early autumn to prevent them getting frost
bitten, and little later on is compelled 10
lug them up stars to sun-exposed room in
the top story, and then down again in sweet
spring-time, uLlil he feels as if he must go
to a blacksmith shop and get new hinge
put Oh his back aud have his knee JOINTS lu-
brlcated-this man is positive that out of
the 100000 known species his wife has Sc
lected the 5000 that are more or less hurt
ful and when he sees them out in the ward
again, nothing would fill him with more
bliss than for an able bodied cyclone TO
come along and blow them into the next
state.
