are chiefly green and gold and choco.

SLEEPY GRASS.

In some parts of New Mexico there
grows a grass which produces Il
somniferous effect on the animals that
Craze upon it. Horses, af er eating
this grass, IN nearly all cases sleep
standing, while COWS ard sheep almost
invariably lie down. 1t has occasionally
happened that travellers have stopped
to allow horses to feed in places whar
the grass grew pretty thickly, and the
animals have had time to eat Il con-
siderable quantity before lis effec $
manifested themselves. In such cases
horses have gone to sleep on the road
and it is hard to rrouse them.
The effect of the grass passes oil III
an hour or two. and no bad results
have ever been noticed on account of
it. Cattle on the ranches frequently
come upon patches Of this grass,
where they feed for perhaps half an
hour, and then fall asleep for an hour
or more, when they wake up and start
feeding again.
The programme is repeated perhaps
a dozen times. until thirst olliles
them to 90 to water. Whether, like
the poppy, the grass contains opium,
