A DANGEROUS HERB.-The depu-
ty of Oaxaca, Mr.. Perfect Carrera,
has taken to the City of Mexico a
plant that grows in Mixteca which
the natives call the 'herb of proph-
ecy." 1t is taken in varying doses
and in a few moments a sleep is
produced similar in all respects to,
and we might say identical with,
the hypnotic state. for the patient
answers with closed eyes questions
that are put TO him and is complete
ly insensible. The pathologic state
induced on whomsoeyer partakes
of the herb brings with it a kind of
prophetic gilt and double sight.
Furthermore he loses his will, is
completely under the control of
another to such a degree hat the
sleeping person would leap from a
balcony, shoot or stab himself with
a dagger at any moment if ordered
to do so. On returning to himself
he remembers nothing of what he
has done.

Albert Miller, an ''engaged"
young man of Harrisburg, kissed
his betrothed on the street. Ar
raigned before the court for this
improDriety, the toO-fond swain
pleaded that he had often kissed
her in the parlor without protest
in fact, TO her evident enjoyment
and he did not suppose she would
object 10 a Enatched salute in the
street The judge, long out Of
practice in cupid's court, gave the
young man two months in Jail to
tlearn the difference between kiss
ing q young lady in herOwn psrlOr
and committing The act OF Oscula-
lion in a public place"

An old fellow who was running
a sawmill down in the southern
part of Tennessee had considerable
trouble in getting a man who I'M
derslood the business of sawyer.
Finally when the owner of the mill
had became wholly discouraged a
respectable fellow came along and
asked for a situation. He showed
a paper from one of the leading
mlllmen in the country stating that
the applicant Sas n of the best
of sawyers. He IA engaged, and
when he had been at work about
three weeks, the proprietor called
him one morning and said
"Mr. Collier, you needn't go to
work to-day"
Are you going to shut down 2"
"Yas, so fur ez you are consarn-
ed"
What, you don't want me any
longerg"
"Yas, that's it,"
"Why, haven'tI been giving sat
isfaction 2"
so, yes so, SO fur ez yo' work
goes"
Then what is the matter ?"
swell, | have noticed that you
put on too many shirts"
81 don't understand you
"Wall, you change yo' shirts too
often. You have been workin' here
now three weeks, an | notice that
you put on d clean shirt about
every eight DAVIS"
But, my gracious, is there any
thing wrong in that 2"
ITO some folks thar mouten't be,
but thar is 10 me. A Teller came
along here once and changed his
shirt every twelve days"
"Well," said the sawyer, "what
else did he doF'
"Run away and married my
daughter, that's what he done.
Then there came along a fellar that
changed his shirt about every ten
days. He ran away with my wife.
Then another fellar changed his
shirt bout every nine days and
run away with my p%OcketboOk that
contained $15. So l find that the
off'ner a man changes his shirt the
worse he is, an, afearin' that you
mout run away with my mule colts.

I've got my eye on you."
