the poisonous planvs:
member, when cultivating ir~s~ mousse
plant, that under some circumstances
1t is very noxious. Pliny said of the
oleander that it was poisonous, and
later discoveries have confirmed this.
In Madrid, a few years since, there was
n case of poisoning by eating birds
broiled on oleander leaves. In the
south of Italy and Spain, the scraped
rind of the tree is used as rat-poison
and to drive away noxious insects. In
both countries, the localities where ole
ande-s grow are generally malarious. In
Northern Africa. where they lend an
especial charm to the scenery along the
banks of the river, they are not suf-
fered to grow near human habitations,
and in this respect are really boycotted.
1t is remarkable that even bees avoid
the oleander. -Demorest.

IKE EOuRIh.

The glories of the Fourth were ushered
in at midnight by the ringing of the bells
on the town hall. the Congregational,
Episcopal and Catholic churches, the
school house and the cotton mill. In a
few minutes three bonfires were going
on Main street. The racket was kept up
for an hour or two. During the day the
small boy got in his work with fire-crack-
ers, torpedoes and the toy pistol, while a
few older youths spent the afternoon in
shooting small cannon from the top of
the hill in the eddy lot. The stores as a
rule were closed all day and every one
who could get out of town did so. Quite
a delegation visited Lake Dunmore. The
forenoon was rainy, but after dinner the
clouds cleared away and the sun came
out.
