Peculiar Plants,

A very odd plant in the Government
botanical garden at Washington is the 80.
called "barber plant" It comes from the
Orient, and is not used, rs its name might
imply, to help BARRIERS, but rather to their
detriment, since it ia rubbed on the face
to keep the beard from growing. 1t is not
supposed TO have any effect ON a beard
that is already rooted, but merely to act
as a preventive, boys employing it to keep
the hair from getting q start on their
face. 1t is also employed by some ori.
entail people who desire to keep parts oil
their leads free from hair, ,as a matter OF
fashion. Also found in the botanical
garden is the "cruel plant" which ia so
designated because it catches butterflies
and kills them for sheer sport. It's flow
ers attract the poor little futterer by
the honey it oilers, and when the VIC
tim lights upon it it grabs the butterfly
by the head and holds it fast until the
captive dies. Then the flowers drops 1t
on the ground and lies in wait for a
fresh unfortunate.
A curious looking tree, from the 18th
mus OF Panama, bears a round red fruit
as big as an apple, which has this re-
markable faculty, that its juice, rubbed
on tough beef or chicken, makes the
meat tender by the chemical power it
possesses TO separate the flesh fibre.
