THE LOCO HABIT.
IS Deadly Among Horse, rs the Opium
Habit Among Men.


rs Deadly Among Horse, rs the Opium
Habit Amonc Men.
I'VE have on the plains OF Texas
and New Mexico what might appro-
priately be called natural opium joints,
where horses and mules metaphoric-
ally hit the pipe and become regular
fiends, said former Texas ranchman
to n. Y. Sun reporter. AS mat,
ter OF fact there is no opium nor any
pipe, but no joint ever offered better
facilities for its habitues to become
moral and physical wrecks than GER
tain localities on the plains do to the
horses and mules which are there
exposed to the temptation of the loco
weed.
Now good many plainsmen ridi-
cule the idea that the loco weed leads
horses and mules astray, and soon
makes wrecks OF them. and ] have
heard men say that they have known
their horses to pasture regularly on
what they call the loco weed and thrive
on it. II that is so. the loco weed OF
California is not the same as what we
call the loco weed OF Texas and New
Mexico. The California loco is what
we call the rattle weed, guess, be-
cause it has a pod with seeds that
make a noise in the wind like n live
rattlesnake. Some people out there
call it the vegetable rattlesna&e, and
declare that its juice is deadly poison.
Now the loco weed OF Texas and Mex
leo is different and l never knew a
horse or mule to go away with it ex-
cept in the winter time, II has light
green bunchy growth, and will have
its fresh-looking leaves above the
snow when no other vegetation looks
so tempting, and it is then the unsus-
pecting animals are beguiled by it.
After horse ca mule has taken his
first crop OF loco he will give every
thing else the go by to get more of it.
and soon becomes u confirmed loco
eater. No opium flend ever longed
for or sought more persistently for his
pipe than a horse or mule will long
and seek for the fatal loco punches.
II the animals can not obtain the plant
they will fall into a state of al, ect
nervous collapse. They see things
as the drunkard suffering from delir.
ium tremens sees things. They will
plunge and rear and tumble at imagi-
nary things, and become utterly I'M
manageable and irresponsible. A few
leaves of loco will restore them to
placidity SO far as their nervous sys-
tenn is concerned, but they gradually
lose in physical vigor and intelligence
until at the end OF two or three months
they are virtually imbeciles and physl-
cal wrecks. They become thin and
weak, and die in evident delirium.
Many an excellent horse of the
best breeding and previous ire
proachable reputation as u herdsman's
aid, have i known to be led to ruin by
the insidious loco weed. and die as
pitiable wreck as any human being
who ever fell victim to the fascina-
tons OF opium"

DOMESTIC DISCIPLINE.
How a sshington Husband Gave his
wife q Lesson

How a Washington Husband Gave his
Wife Lesson.
A certain woman OF fashion con-
spicuous in Washington society, whose
iniirmity Of temper has given rise to
very interesting gossip occasionally,
says the Phila. Press figures In u
quaint little story.
A short time ago she was entertain
ing at supper lady Of her acquaint-
ance, when 1t CHANGED that there was
placed upon the table small pot Of
chocolate. The hostess OF the occa-
sion Is very fond of the beverage In
question. partaking of II every evening
of her life. Unfortunately, the SER
want had neglected to make more than
the usual quantity, which was just
about sufficient for single cup. Ac-
cordingly, when the guest was asked
II she would have some, she hesitated
a moment and said no. Whereupon
her entertainer flushed with anger at
the contrstenips, and, rising from her
seat deliberately poured the contents
OF the chocolate pot out OF the window.
This was embarrassing for the lady
entertained, to say the least OF II.
or course, however, she pretend
ed to take no notice. merely glancing
slyly at her host who made the third
person at the repast to see II he
evinced any consciousness respecting
the proceeding. But he only smiled
beneath his mustache and made no
remark.
Presently he asked her il she would
have some chicken salad. of which
big dishful made the principal feature
among the viands.
ii thank you. no." she replied,
merely because she had preference
for something else.
Immediately, as il it were a matter
OF course, the host picked up the
salad and threw it. dish and all, out
through the window into the garden.
Its way we have here" he re-
marked calmly.
Nobody said anything for quite
five minutes afterward. but the ex-
IRENE amiability exhibited by the
hostess for the rest of the evening, led
the visitor to imagine that the lesson
thus given was not without certain
domestic usefulness.
