Poisonous PIant. and Flowers.

There are many plants whose leaves. flowers
and seeds contain virulent poisons, which every
one should know, SO as to avoid them and keen
children from them.
Buttercups possess poisonous property,
which disappears when the flowers are dried in
hay. No cow will feed upon them while in bios
som. So caustic are the petals that they will
sometimes infiame the skin of tender fingers.
Every child should be cautioned against eating
them; indeed it is desirable to caution children
about tasting the petals Of any flowers or put
ting leaves into their mouths, except those
known to be harmless.
The oleander contains deadly poison In ifs
leaves and flowers, and is said to be danger
GUS plant for the parlor or dining room The
flower and berries OF the wild bryony possess a
powerful purgatiye, and the red berries, which
attract children, have proved fatal The seeds
of the laburnum and catalpa tree should be kept
from children. and there is poisonous property
In their bark. The seeds ofthe yellow and of the
rough-podded vetches will produce nausea and
severe headache.
Fools parsley has tuberous roots, which have
oeen mistaken for turnips. and produced
fatal effect an hour after they were eaten.
Meadow hemlOck is said to be the hemlock
Which Socrates drank. 1t kills by its intense
action on the nerves, producing complete
lnsensibiity and palsy Of the arms and legs
and 1t Is most dangerous drug, except in
skillful hands. In August it is found in every
deld, by the seashore and near mountain tops.
In full bloom, and ladies and children gather its
large clusters of tiny white flowers in quant-
ties. without the least idea ftheir poisonous
qualities. The water hemlock, Or cow bane,
resembles parsnps. ard has been eaten for
them with deadly effects.
The water dr0pwort resembles celery when
not in flower, and Its roots are also similar to
those CT the parsnip, but they contain a virulent
poison, producing commissions, which end in
death i'm a short time. The fne-leayed water
dropwort and the common dropwOrt are also
dangerous weeds.
The bulbs of the daffodils were once mistaken
for leeks and boiled in soup, with very disas-
trous effects, making the whole household in
tensely nauseated. and the children did not re-

MERRY MAIDENs IN A TANK.
Scenes at a NatatOriu,n, Where Timid
Fair Folk Go Seek to Swim.

From the Chicago Tribune.
1t is jolly good fun to watch the fair FATHERS
at one Of the natatoriums. OF course. the ladies
have their special hours and the building is their
own. Strapped to the railroad yesterday was
most beautiful young girl. She wore silver
bracelets on her wrists and superbly- fitting
suit of white jackinet, cut high on the Shout
ders, square in the neck, short in the sleeve and
ruffled with white tatting. The golden-brown
hair was banged in the front and rolled in a coil
at the nape of the neck. She floundered round
like a young seal, keeping the water white with
foam One Of the teachers pulled her belt off.
put long pole in her hands and told her to
''try it alone"
"Pease get ready to let go now, Miss W. Put
your chin on the water, arms straight. legs
down. heels together. toes out. Now, please. y
One-t-w-o-t Pretty good. Steady.
Slow. Legs down. Arms straight QUIETLY.
One-t-w-o-three," sang out the teacher. who
was about to commend the attempt. when a pair
OF white legs came up, arms went down. fol-
lowed by the long pole, and the aquatic beauty
was pulled out in half-strangling, half-suffo-
eating condition. She begged to be mt back
on the railroad, but the tutor lured her into
making three strokes, and when the writer left
her she was cautiously swimming after the re-
cedng pole, amid expressions of announcement
and delight by her teacher.
This is hOrrid," said another beauty looking
down at the shapeless turkey-red trousers she
wore. The teacher came along, soothed her
sorrow, and, strapping big rubber cushion
around her little body, lowered her into the
tank and began to sing out unsteady, "One-
t-w.o-three." Another lady was ali ashiver
Willie she was being 'banded," and when she
climbed down the steep little flight of steps and
dipped her pretty maroon silk stockings i'm the
cold water, she gave little scream and wanted
to climb out
"Wet your neck, please, and your forehead.
Now take hold of the POLE Please ia Ike the mole.

But Ill can't; it's aw-awful k-k-col6!

took the plunge finally and then swan away

HENDRICKS ON CLEVELAND.
Mr.. Hendricks, on his return from Albany last
week, where he went to spend day with his
colleague on the ticket. whom he had never
seen before, expressed, in talking with me, yery
hearty admiration for Mr.. Cleveland, saying:
''He is good-looking man; q sub
stantial looking man; he is great deal
better looking than his pictures" 1t is really
very singular how unanimous men who have
lately seen the governor of this state are In con-
Guiding all their remarks about him in the same
way as l have quoted eX-Gov. Hendricks as
doing. Each one who has talked with me. as
well as those whose opinions have seen quoted
In the newspapers as having been expressed
elsewhere, has wound up in the same way.
Representative Waldo Hutchins, who has
been here this week. is another who spoke in
the same wayto me about the democratic presi-
Dental nominee. The nominee of that party
tor the vice presidency also has been getting
some compliments on his personal appearance as
his health seems now to be thorou, ,hly re-estab-
lished and he is in excellent spirits. He and his
wife pass most of their evenings in the large
parlOr at the Grand Union and are never alone
WHAT HENDRICKS TOLD CLEVELAND.
I told Governor Hendricks that until 1t was
authoritatively contradicted I should believe
that what really took place between him and
Governor Cleveland during their first memora-
BILE interview was that he said, looking the lat
ter full In the face, '.Now. my young friend Tn
be frank with you, do think, II we are elected.
you should not leave 1t to me to furnish the ONLY
lady connected by marriage with the ticket.
Honestly do you consider it quite the fair thinc,

An Iowa Man Gets a Hard Turning
Over mt st. Joseph.

The st. Louis Republican of recent
date contains a telegram from St.Joseph,
which gives the following facts, concern
ing an alleged merchant of Essex:
This morning a IMAM named w. L. Nc
Greir was arrested and landed in Jail,
charged with purchasing goods under
false pretenses. He claimed to be a
merchant OF Essex, Iowa, and purchased
several thousand dollars worth of goods
of Eve or six Wholesale firms. Nest of
tho goods were shipped to him. He
purchased nearly $1,000 worth OF
McKimny, Handy & Walker and gave
them checks for nearly $500 on an Essex
bank. 1t was discovered, as is charged,
that he had no money in the bank, and
was not known there. When, arrested he
was enjoying o champagne lunch with
one or more Wholesale merchants. No
has been here o week and has lived high.
Mckinney, HunGley & Walker, Meyer
& Msyer, Robert Douglas, Regnier' &
Shoup, James Walsh, Hartxig &c Bros,
Rune, Stewart & Kohn, and others fell
victims for sums from $190 to $1,000
Whas his PLAZA was is not known He
claims to be an honest man. Late to-
night he was released on bond, and has
authorized his lawyer to sue Mckinney,
Hundly 81 Walker for $40, 600 damages,
He claims hs has $1,000 in the KSssz
bank. He hsft tonight for Essex, III
says, to gea credentials, when he pro
poses to return and maks things warm
He is very indignant.

claimed to have lost their rolls in one o
Council Bluffs numerous gambling houses
The victims went to police headquarterr
and insisted on having the house pulled
but were informed that they could FL,
complaints Monday in court, and had Il
rest content with that.
Modesty is evidently unknown in poll
tics. The old city council passed a reso,
luton rendering a vote of thanks to Tho
retiring mayor, city attorney, engineer
and members of the city council for their
untiring efforts in the interest Of the city
and their generous and courteous manner
while serving in their respective posi-.
tons" For retiring aldermen to thus
compliment themselves savors a little Of
egotism.
An indignation meeting was held al
Shenandoah Wednesday night and reso.
lutions adopted protesting against the
pardon Of Finis Allen, sentenced for life
for the murder of John Long. After
declaring such action an unjustifiable in
vasion of the Judiciary of the state, the
resolutions declare 'that such action
would impair faith in the execution Of
the laws, bring the administration of
justice into contempt, and foster and en-
courage lynch law"
Ed. ellison is favorably named as one
of the probable appointments upon the
police force. He is wide.awake enough
and strong enough to hold his own on
any beat, and has had experience, having
served two years in Ohio. Omaha has
one colored policeman, and if Council
Bluffs is to follow suit, no better one
could be selected than Ed. Some of the
"coons" who spend their time loafng
about are fighting him strong, for they
feel that if he gets a star on he will clean
them up in a hurry.
During the extreme cold weather the
dummy depot was kept closed much OF
the time between trains, especially on
Sundays, and passengers, Including
ladies and children, often had to stand
out ON the platform and wait in the storm
and cold. Now that it is getting milder
weather and outside standing is not SC
chilly, the depot is open more of the
time. 1t is to be hoped that the agent
will this summer so get in the habit OF
keeping the waiting room open, that it
will carry him through next winter and
the public have some accommodation in
return for it's gift of a $40, 900 avenue.
