A Deadly Plant.

SAVANNAH, May 31.-A magnificent
kali muiah, or death plant of Java, has
been recently received here by Mrs.
Madison Black. This specimen, which
is the only living one that has ever been
brought to this country, was sent Mrs.
Black by her brother, jerome Hendricks, ),
who went out as missionary to the
island. The kali mujah is found only in
the volcanic districts of Java and Su.
matra and then but rarely. It grows
from two to three and o half feet in
height, with long, slender stems armed
with thorns nearly an inch long, and
covered with broad satin smooth leaves
of heart shape aud Of a delicate emer-
aid on one side and blood red, streaked
with cream, on the other.
The flowers of the death plant ara
large, milk white and cup.like, being
about the size and depth of a large coffee
cup and having the rim guarded by fine,
brier.like thorns. The peculiarity OF the
plant lies in these flowers, which, beau.
tiful as they are, distill continually a
deadly perfume go powerful as to over
come, if inhaled any length Of time, a
full grown man, and killing all forms of
insect life approaching it. The perfume,
though more pungent, is as sickeningl.7
sweet as chloroform, which it greatly
resembles in effect, producing insensi-
bility, but conyulsing at the same tim >
the muscles of the face, especially those
about the mouth and eyes, drawing the
former up into grin. An inhalation is
followed by violent headache and q ring.
ing in the ears, which gives way to Il
temporary deafness, often total while it
lasts.
Other plants seem to shun the kali
muiah, which might be termed the Ish.
mael Of the vegetable kingdom, for it
grows isolated from every other form OF
Vegetation, though the soil about it may
be fertile. All insects and birds instinct
lively seem TO avoid all contact with il,
but when accidentally approaching it
have been observed to drop to the earth,
even when as far from it as three feet,
and unless at cnce removed soon died,
evincing the same symptoms rs when
etherized.
Mr.. Hendricks, who writes describing!
how he secured the specimen sent hi'
sister, says he discovered it first by see.
Ing q bird of paradise he was endeavor
ing to capture alive fall, stunned by th':
deadly odor of kali mujah, aud on exam
lining the plant, though warned by th':
natives to let it alone, himself expert.

which are its invariable results.-Ne'!

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases put
together and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with To-.
cal treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a con-
stitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. j. Cheney Il
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu-
tional cure On the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. It gets directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for any
case it fails to cure. Send for circulars
