AUSTIN, TEX, June 1.-THE phsrma-
clsts' convention met st 10 o'clock and
WAS called to order by President Graham.
After reading one or two kilograms send
ing greetings to the Association, q reso-
luton was adopted increasing the sslary
Of the secretary from S25 to S75 and
fxi5g the pay Of the treasurer st $50 per
year. The treesvrer's report WAS read
and adopted, and after some minor bust
ness the Association az 1urued sine die.
Following is S part Of the report OF
Mr.. J K. Kennedy of San Antonio OF
the loco weed. He made c,Ieful analy-
SIS of the weed which his paper sets
out in full, which eXplodes
The idea that the plant is poisonous. OF
the weed he says: Notwithstanding its
notorie'y, the history CT our plant has
remained very obscure indeed, and in
quiries addressed to persons pretending
TO be familiar with the plant and its effect
on animals elected replies at great vari-
snce with each other, making the infor-
nation obtained of doubtful value, as
subsequent inVegtig2tion substantially
proved. Some assert that the
plsnt is eaten by horses and
cattle, but not by mules, others
declare ,hst It is eaten by cattle only and
that horses will not touch II, while others
cgsin stste hat it Is eaten by horses, cst
tie and mules. Some say thst the frut
alone is poisonous, others that the pois-
onous effect is due to an insect infesting
the flowers. Sill others say that the
leaves only are poisonous. DR.. B. F.
Kingsley CT this city (San Antonio)
gives sn interesting account OF the
death OF some mules feeding upon II.
Half an ounce bt the green plant was
roughly bruised and Infused with ten
parts Of boiling wster To- an hour. The
infusion, which WAS OF rank, nsusesing
odor aud taste, WAS administered to
dog, weight twenty three pounds, no
effect was produced even sf:er several
hours. Second decocsi0n was maize 5y

Even in this day and time there are
many who believe ia ghosts, n tie sense
OF the word that materis'ized spirits do
appear ard walk the earth. Ever sizcc
the middle CT May there has
been connection among many colored
people sni some whites, caused by mys-
tericus appearance at times en- the high
irestle Of The Missouri PAcidc. That

s59u! the same time every night: that he
is seen IS perhaps true. but thst i. is 3
gEGst must certainly be RESTORED
Tuesday night, il is c aimed, man WAC
was ws'chirg for the ghost saw
the h!ure and fred four shots
81 it ana Iii, i. without producing any ef-
feet. The sAO's we're fired, but that the
figure wss hit is doubted. AS stated De-
fore, the negroes are bsdlY frightened,
and have many stories ia circulation
about the ghost. 1t is said
that two years ago a tram of
the Fort Worth and Denver crossing the
high trestle ran into man walking the
trestle and knocked him into the deep
r6vine below, and thSt IS be fell he utter
ed q shriIl scream. The story goes that as
soon as possible the train was stopped
and the engineer, fireman and brakeman
taking their lsnterns went to the ravlne
to find the body, but it had disappeared
snd never was found. Now IL is true
thst Aoout TWO years ago a Fort Worth
and Denver train did CStch Haa who
was walking on the trestle in cues
ton. Finding that he could not retrace
his steps he dropped between the ties and
tried to hold on, but the train shock him
of end he fell to the ground below. He
was telegraph operator and WAS badly
hurt, but he is ROW well and Is said
to be living st Arlington. With
the ides that some one is hoa1iug the
people, or that the man seen walking the
track and trestle is some workman
who goes home about the sans hour
Every night, Officers Kits and Evans
watched last night, but the only result
vas that Officer Kits saw white
figure walking the rail, and harTyiEg to
it, discovered it TO be woman OF easy
virtue clad in white Mother Hubbard.
For Dad language used he arrested her.
Officers Wilcner and Simms will probs-

they can fad the ghost

The Emperor sometimes opens his eyes
and recognizes those around him. A
pleasant smile lightens mis- face when
the Empress or other members OF the

grief was especially noticeable on the
Berlin Boerse. Silence WAS strictly OBJ

The hardest work on farm horses is
th.t of spa5molic natuIe, heavy one
day and light the next, or harl day 5
work one day and nothing at all to do
the next. Horses whose nerves become
like iron and which are able to stand
almost anything in the way of wear and
tear are those which have an opportu-
nifty to lay out their strength every day
in the week. Sore shoulders, weak
limbs and many of the disorders
that are found among horses are the re-
suits often of but short periods of too
severe strains, or of day or halfday's
work that was harder than they ha |
been used to- There is danger at this
season of imposln hard tasks on teams;
the roads being bad, and some of the
heaviest farm work needing attention.
There is no time in the year that farmers
can as little afford to get their horses
out Of shape as now, the blowing season
being at hand, when every days work
may mean so many dollars and coats. -

The Cultivation Of Cabbage -.

Your low ground will answer very
well for cabbage3, provided it is not
over0owed after the plants arc set out.
But we do not think it would be we'll
to risk crop in such situation. The
seed should be sown about six weeks in
advance of the time when the plan is
will be wanted for setting out in the
field. For late crop the plants need
not be set out until about the middle Of
July, but they should then be strong
and healthy, with an abundance of
roots. To secure such plants SOW the
seed in rich soil, applying a liberal
dressing of wool ashes or bone dust on
the surface at the time of sowing the
seed. Not only is it necessary to have
rich soil for your seed bed, but in addi
ton a good soil in which to set the
plants in the field, and it is best to have
it well prepared by frequent blowing
and narrowing before it is wanted for
use. Always transplant in damp and
cloudy weather if possible, and if the
grcuad is not wet, or at least quite
moist at the time, dip the roots of the
plants in solution of cow manure and
water of about the consistency of thin
mortar. The plants should be thirty
inches apart IN the row, and the rows
about three feet apart. Cultivate fro
qucntly and thoroughly until the crop
is mature. - New York Suu.

When q boy Joseph Walker was II
his fathers kitchen one day when his
mother had been boiling maple syrup.
There were two barrels il the room, and
he, supposlug them - lie both syrup,
took teacupan3 dipped i full. from one
Of the barrels and took a large swallow.
To his CONSERVATION il proved t. be I've.
He had mistaken the leach blurred Tor the
syrup. l. gave him great distress at the
time and caused "a permanent structure
of the gullet which has proved the indi-
rect cause Of his death
Mr. Walker was a sergeant in the Goth
Maine Regiment, and VS. wounded at
the battle of Peoples Farm. About
the close Of the war lie commenced to
have trouble from the structure il the
outlet, bv piece Of meat AMI food loi--
ing at the injured part and causing
him great distress. Some times II would
nearly straugle him. He WAS a man Of
q mechanical turn Of mind and a car
penter. and he made a long oak stick,
round, and very smooth, and when any
fragment Of food would become lodged
in its passage in the outlet he would
force It into his stomach with his iDstru-
ment This operation, which would
clan to perform with the most improved
instrument, Mr. Walker has performed
successfully with this rude Appliance Of
his own construction over twenty five
times in the last twenty years.
Several days ago Il prominent Port
land physician was summoned to Mr..
Walkers bedside and found him in the
greatest distress. That day while eating
dinner a piece OF meat lodged il the
passage. He went to his room and used
his instrument as he had so many times,
but relief did not follow; ON the con
trarv, the pain became worse and he
grew very much exhausted. The physi-
clan procured an instrument and cleared
the passage to the stomach and the pa
tient was temporarily relieved, but only
temporarily, for he sank rapidly and
died.
The doctor gave ii as his opinion that
Mir. Walker had puncturei the side of
the quiet and m autopsy was made,
whiah proved the diagnosis to be correct.
In the right lung were found lodged two
rebel buckshot which the gallant soldier
had carried for over twenty years. Port
