The insaiie Herb,
Boston Transcript.

Boston transcript.
This plant, which has enjoyed con-
siderable notoriety from the fact
that popular superstition has ac-
credited it with the power Of produc-
ing insanity, as is implied in the
name originally given to it by the
Mexicans, "Herba loca''-'finsane
herb" Many writer's of romance
have woven wonderfully pathetic
stories around the alleged fact that
s6me jealous maiden has prepared a
decoction of this herba 1oca, and be-
guiled her victim into drinking it,
after which he becomes insane or dies,
a raving maniac. Mr.. James Ken
nedy, Phi. G., in paper before the
Texas Pharmaceutical society, has
picked the bubble. After infinitely
describing the plant, and various
analysis made of it, he gives a report
of numerous experiments made with
it, all Of which proved conclusively
that the fnuch-vaunted poison of
herba loca is myth, and that the
plant is perfectly harmless. It is in
teresting, however, to note what an
amount of apparent strong corrob-
orative evidencecan be found for any
popular superstition, Mr.. Kennedy
having found that every farmer in
Texas who knew the plant was PIE
pared to testify that it would poison
cattle who ate it. Mr.. Kennedy clear
ly proved that cattle eat it freely,
and that the only i'll effects, if any,
resulting are those which follow over
feeding on green fodder.

A Stallion Fight
Indianapolis Sentinel.

Indianapolis Sentinel.
Two stations had terrible en-
counter at the county fair. They
broke away from their keepers and
dashed away at each other like mad.
Both snorted terribly, and the fire
seemed to flash from their eyes. With
open jaws they bit each others necks,
paving and tearing up the ground
for space of twenty feet. At last,
by some means, they got loose, and
each backing a few feet, they whirled
and commenced kicking each other,
The sharp corks on the hind shoes
drew blood from the TANKS of each
and left enormous welts and cuts.
Then one of them, with an instinct
that seemed human, suddenly whirled
to the right and grabbed his oppo-
nent by the neck, trying at the same
time to get his fore feet upon his
shoulders. They struggled and
struggled, the sweat and bloodp pour
ing from their wounds. The farmers
about were panic-stricken. A couple
of cowboys got stout ropes and tried
to lasso them. This was no easy eff
fort, and attended with considerable
danger. Before it was accomplished
the animals made final vicious dash
at each other, and while linked in each
others ferocious embrace the cow
boys got in their work and succeeded
in securing them.

From the New York Press.
Robert E. Frazer, the Michigan
speaker, who is stamping vigorous
ly for the republican ticket, is one of
the wittiest of Irish orators in the
county. He bubbles over with sto-
ries. Here is one he is credited with
having told the other night while adj
yocating high license. He said that
a good many years ago there was a
prosperous farmer away down South.
One day man rode up on horseback
TO his door and asked him if he had
any whisky. The farmer brought a
Jug and poured out good drink.
"What's that?" asked the rider, as
he took the glass in his hand and
pointed toward an immense field
covered with mint.
'It's mint" said the farmer.
"Give us a little of it," said the
guest.
The farmer brought it and the man
put it into the whisky and mashed
The ends with the butt of his riding
whip. He drank the mixture and
sighed regretfully when the last drop
was gone.
ever try that?" asked the farmer.
"No."
"Get some more mint and I'll make
you one."
The drink was made and the farm
er swallowed it. He rolled up his
eyes as it went down and sighed when
there was no more in the glass.
The man rode away. Three years
later he visited the spot again. He
remembered it, but he noticed that a
great change had taken place. The
house was ramshackle and leaky, the
fences were broken down and the
whole place had gone to ruin. A
woman came to the door when he
hallooed.
"Where's your husband?" asked
the man, recalling that drink and
wanting another.
Dead" she replied laconically.
"Well, WE'LL" he didn't look as if he
was going to die. What took him
off?'
The woman looked at him and said
slowly:
"There was q man came along here
about three years ago, and he learnt
my ole man how to mix grass with
his whisky. AFTER that he didn't do
nothin' else. He jest mixed it all day
and night, and when the grass gave
out he died."

AVeil's Flight.
From the Caledonia Advertiser.


Mrs. NJ. NJ. Hall, of Clinton, Ia,
who has recently been here visiting
her sister, Mrs. H. Wilder, met wi tn
a remarkable experience at Roches-
ter last week. She was the guest of
friend, Mrs. Page, of this city,
whose husband conducts a harness
business here. Among other places
the ladies visited was Powers art
gallery and the tower. While at the
latter place Mrs. Hall s veil became
detached from her hat and q slight
breeze quickly waited it over he rail-
ing and out of reach. Down it went
toward the Main Street walk, 100
feet below. The ladies stood and
watched it's slow and wavering de-
scent until it had nearly reached the
pavement. Suddenly it struck
another current ofair and was borne
upward again. The ladies watched
it's graceful movements curiously
and became more and more interested
as the ariy fabric slowly Travelled
back in almost the same route it
had taken in it's descent, and their
surprise knew no bounds when the
veil actually returned to the tower
and settled down fairly and squarely
on the owners head. Mrs. Hall de-
clares this to be the fact, and those
who met the lady here certainly have
no reason to doubt her word.

An Embarrassed Clergyman.

An amusing incident happened at
the recent Sam Jones tabernacle
meeting at Gainesville. One of the
most devout ministers OF North
Georgia, who resides in town not
a thousand miles from Gainesville,
left home to spend day or two at
these meetings. The sudden cool
weather that came about during the
meeting caused overcoats to become
a requisite. The clergyman alluded
to did not have his overcoat along,
but the family whom he was stopping
with kindly rendered one which an
swered every purpose. After secur-
ing a seat up near the pulpit the
minister proceeded to take off his
overcoat, and while doing SO deck
of cards fell from a side pocket as he
was folding the coat to hang it on
the back Of his chair. To see the
minister, who for many years had
been engaged in making such cru
SADIE against cards, reaching after q
ten-spot here and jack of spades
there and hiding them away as fast as
he could get them back into his peck
ct certainly created a ripple among
those seated near him.-Savannah

Night Air Superstition.

A sensible doctor, who despises
drug-eating, and realizes that health
is only possible by conformity to
natures simple but exacting laws,
is quoted in an English paper as
maintaining that the superstition
that open night air is to be avoided
has destroyed more victims than war
and pestilence. This widely prevalent
prejudice is worse than ignorance, just
as poison is more fatal than hunger.
"That pulmonary consumption is
not caused by cold outdoor air, but
by foul indoor air. is truth estab-
lished by incontestable proofs.
Statistics prove that north and
south, east and west, in uplands and
lowlands, the prevalence of respira-
tory disorders bear an exact proper
ton to the prevalence of indoor oc-
equations. Experience moreover,
has demonstrated that for the radical
cure of lung diseases outdoor life in a
cold climate is more favorable than
any mode of life in tropical climate.
"Horses and cows confined in stuffy
stables are as liable to deadly pull
monary affections as their owners,
while exposure to intense Winter cold
affects the respiratory apparatus less
than other part of the organism"
BY way of illustration, reference is
made to the mane-Daboon, which
endures the night frosts Of the Abys-
sinian highlands, at an elevation OF
5000 feet above the coasts plains of
the Indian Ocean, yet succumbs
promptly to the influences ofthe foul,
though much warmer, air of an ill
ventilated menagerie, and the fol
lowing is added from an experience
which has been repeatedly verified in
cases personally known to us:
81 prefer the night-air cure. We
cannot work under load of furs.
We cannot write with frostnumbed
hands. But with an adequate num-
Der of blankets, a bed exposed to the
fresh air can be made perfectly COM
Portable. Use a nightcap or shawl
till habit has taught a way of keep
ing the blankets tucked up to the
ears, leaving only the head uncovered
the plan of keeping the head cool
and the feet warm being, by the way,
the most effective specific for chronic
insomnia. To the lungs pure, cold
air is more grateful that impure
warm air. By the simple plan of
opening bedroom window, catarrh
can be nipped in the bud bya remov-
al OF the cause-that is, by a d.
rect elimipation of the contagious
germs. Tribune.

Dead Husbands.

An exchange contains this strange
item: It is said that some Of the
chief railroads in the country employ
special persons to inform the bereaved
family when an employe has been
killed. This does not seem incredible,
considering that every year q small
army Of men meet their death on the
track. At the unioti depot I met
veteran railroader the other day, who
said he was from Reading, Pa, and
bad ffeeieHtly discharged this pain
full office. In giving his experience,
among other things he related the
following, 1T was only q few days
ae6 that / went To d konie and found
the wife chatting and laughing with
a neighbours wife while she was at
work among her rose bushes and
f6wers. she hadn't been married
very long: first asked her whether
her husband was at home. She star
ed at me, became white as piece of
chalk: then shtieked and fell among
the plants: ,Ihelped to carry her into
the Re1iss: He's, dead; my husband
is dead: | know liz has been killed.
who told your asked, when she
revived. No one. l only thought
so. Is 1t true? 1t was easy, then, to
finish my errand. I once called on a
woman to tell her her husband had
been killed BY striking an over head
Bridge. This was three years ago
near Philadelphia. The woman curl
ed up her lip and replied: '1fhe's been
killed, heaven has revenged me. He
abused me long enough. He'll abuse
no more womennoW.' That was the
easiest job in my line Ieverhad. Five
minutes later the woman was in hys-
terics."

The MayfOwer.

When and by whom was the Pill
grim Mayflower built, is the question
which has been agitating the minds
of q number of Bostonians for some
time past, and it is still unanswered.
The Mayfiower seems to have been
quite popular name during the six
teenth century, as several vessels
registered under it And SO it is
difficult to trace the early history of
this one particular Mayfower.
There are really only two things
known about the Mayfower, beyond
the fact that she brought over the
first Pilgrim company, WILL, that
she was a vessel of $50 tons; 2, that
she brought over some of Sienthorp's
company to Charlestown in 1880.
She was not the Mayfower which in
1918 brought over some negroes to
Barbados, for that ship was OF al.
most double tonnage, viz. $50 tons
