Whether locality has anything to do
with it or not has not yet been definite
ly settled, but certain it is that in GER
tain portions of the country the olean-
der, so much admired for it's exquisite
blossoms, has been the cause of serious
illness, and in some cases death has
been attributed to too intimate associ-
alton with it. Several persons were at
tackled with exceedingly painful throat
disorders, with headache, giddiness and
violent heart agitation. The dispensa-
tories class it as heart poison, and one
Of its victims died in the most distress

affected by it as we'll as man. A valua-
BILE horse died few moments after
browsing on the stalks and leaves. Sew
eral cows died from drinking water into
which some cuttings of the plant had
been thrown, and other animals were
very sick from inhaling the smoke. from
burning twigs and leaves Of this plant.
They were shut in small yard, and a
breeze carried the smoke directly to-
ward them. In other localities there
seem to be no serious consequences at
tending the cultivation Of this plant.

Hetty Green asa Belle,

While credit must begiven Mrs. Het-
ty Green for wonderful shrewdness and
business sagacity in building up her
fortune, it must not be forgotten that
she had good start. When her father
died. he left her so, 900, 600 to fight the
battle of life with. 1t was more money
in those days than it is now. He was an
old whaler and shipping merchant of
New Bedford named Edward Mott Rob-
inson. He married a Miss Howland,
and the full name of Mrs. Hetty Green
is Harriet Rowland Rob inson Green.
She was her fathers rivate secretary
for four or five years before his death,

Before the war began Mrs. Green, at
that. dule Miss Hetty Robinson, the
hesress, spent several winters in New
York MD was almost a belle in society.
She haet considerable beauty of a robust
sort, and her family and fortune were
certain ly irreproachable.
She lived for a time in a boarding
house on West Twenty-sodond street,
and when she went to PARTIES would
walk from there. It is related that
rather than pay cab fare she used to
pull n pair of heavy stockings over her
stout shoes and tramp through the show
to reception or ball, pulling the stock
ings off when she arrived and spreading
them out somewhere to dry.-New

was ever planted in Great Britain by

feet in diameter and was an old tree in
the reign of Stephen. The barley yew

The Secret Of Success.

To be truly successful, q man must be
able to rise after failure. The general
whose campaign is commenced amid q
series of disasters, but who, nevesthe-
less, by repairing his mistakes, concen-
trating his forces and watching his op-
portunities, carries triumph out Of de-
feat is the truly great captain. The
statesman or orator whose maiden eff
fort was covered with confusion and
ridicule, but who resolves-in spite, or
rather because Of this-that he will force
his opponents to hear and to respect
him shows that he is great man. The
ability and the readiness to learn from
failure is the secret of success.
The man who has only an eye for diff
ficulties will not succeed. When Howe
was appointed commander in chief in
the Mediterranean, a question concern
ing him was asked in parliament, to

Nitrous Oxide Gas.

Nitrous oxide gas is combination, of
nitrogen and oxygen, formerlr,called the
dephlogisticated nitrous gas. Under or
binary conditions Of temperature and
pressure this substance is gaseous; it has
a sweet taste and faint, agreeable odor.
When inhaled, it produces unconscious
ness and insensibility to pain, hence it is
used as an an@sthetic during short surgi-
cal operations. When it is breathed dilut-
ed with air, an celebrating or intoxicat-
ing effect is produced, under the infiu..
ence of which the inhaler is irresistibly
impelled to do all kinds of silly and, ex-
travagant acts; hence the old name Of,
