THE ESPlNOSILLA.
A Plant That is of Great Value to the
Mcxicans.

The espinosilla, or thorn plant, says
Marchial OrOpe2a a well-known MeXi,
can naturalist. is native to Mexico, and
abounds in various parts of the repub.
lies, principally near this capital, al
San Angel, TeXcoco, Santa Fe, etc. II
is one of those beautiful wild plants
which adorn the plains of Mexico, and
is found particularly in cold, dry spots.
Ii has been thus christened because on
touching it a sensation is felt similar to
that which plant covered with thorns
would produce.
The Aztecs lacking soap-so neces-
sary to their health and happiness
found its substitute in the espinosilla.
Fhey agitated bough in water and it
produced a lather, with which they
washed, using the plant as scrub
brush. Even to-day it is used by women
as hair preservative, having eXtraor-
binary powers in that direction. But
its most useful application is as a medi-
cinal agent to fight fevers, as it is an
excellent diaphoretic.
Its ancient name is beautiful. Holt
zitzilXochitl, a compound word: Holt
zitzil - humming- BIRD and Xochitl
flower; thus translated meaning flower
of the humming bird. -
The Spaniards called it Huichichile,
signifying sparrow-a name given it on
account of the resemblance between the
color of the flower and that of a spar
rows head plumes.
Those who Know the Aztec tongue
assert that its real name is cuachile.
The espnoslla belongs to the pole
moniaccas family, and the Hoitzia
coccinea genus and specie, cav; loesclia
coccinea, G. Dom; cantua hoitzia,
Wild; hoitzia Mexicana, Lauck; can
tua, Poir.
1t is a perennG! plant of variable
! height, but never more than three feet
in height Of pivotal root, rather fex-
ible of white surface, corrugated, from
which spring secondary roots, thin and
separated.
In general the plant is rough and
thorny, more so as It's age increases.
The taste is bitter, especially of the
leaves but the root has two tastes,
when first tasted being sweet, after
which it is bitter.
There are other varieties in the Repub,
lic-the lesalia glandulosa, growing in
the hot lands; theL. supertus, in Oaxaca
the L. ciliata, in Vera Cruz; the l.. in
volucrata, in Acapulco, and the L. am.
plectens, between San Bias and Topic.

MOTHER EARTH.

o, mother earth, how sweet to rest
Here on thy breast
While overhead the fair blue sky,
With sun lit cloud wraiths floating by,
Bends lovingly.
How sweet the moist smell of thy sod
Where grasses nod;
Where, halo-crOwned in her own rays
One slender stem the daisy sways
Through summer days;
Whore clovers tempt the wandering bees
With honeyed lees;
Where Tolls the wind on lazy wing,
while in his breath the light leaves swing
Faint iiuttering.
o, mother earth so kind art thou
My red brow,
So long with WEAKNESS oppressed,
Forgcts the aching and unrest
While on thy breast;
Forgets the striving and the pain
That racked the brain;
The blight that fell on hopes so fair,
The dreams that vanishing in air
Left heavy care
o, mother earth, sometime to rest
With thy breast,
With folded hands in dreamless sleep,
in peaceful stumble" long and deep,
While grasses creep,
And daisies come to swing and nod
Upon the sod,
s ! illL IbblS inc uuIIoN mousse Wnefe L.
Unconscious how the swift years fly,
Shall peaceful lie!
o, mother earth thou art so fair
And yet somewhere,
Beyond that Sky so lovingly,
So radiantly bent over me,
Shall | not see,
Awak ng with unclOuded sight,
In Gods clear light.
A land to which thy fairest dream
A vague uncertain, Pickering CLEAN
Shall ever seem?
Yet so, Q mother kind, I trust
When dust to dust
This thrOhbing head now pressed to t..
These feet that walk so stumblingly,
Shall gathered be,
My soul with rapturous joy shall stand
In that sweet land;
Content # but His Simple child
May in the Masters likeness mild
Walk Undecided.
