THE POISONOUS PRl M ULA
A Pretty Greenhouse Plant That Will hav
te Be Discarded

A Pretty Greenhouse Plant That Will Have
te Be Discarded
Within the past few years dainty
and delicate traitor has been brought to
light in the shape Of the greenhouse
Primula. This plant, in virtue of its
easy cultivation, the delicate tint and
clarity of it's blossoms, and the
beauty of it's long-stemmed leaves, has
of late become the pet of every window
gardener. 1t is what 1 have heard called
thankful little plant" bloominv on
and on, with the simple demands Of sun
and water. Ten or twelve years ago a
scientific journal published paper on
the poisonous properties of the Primula.
but the warning was not widely spread,
as probably the plant was not soi gen :
orally known at the time Lately find
that the more conscientious florists have
desisted from its culture, owing tol the
disfiguring, not to say painful, recur-
ring eruptions 1t causes on the bodies
of those susceptible persons who ven-
ture upon familiarity with it.
Its true character was first brought
to my notice by an artist friend, who,
after sketching the. plant in blossom,
broke a leaf from ID to crush and smell
for the sakd Of the pleasant, geranium-
like odor it exhaled. Soon after her face
and arms were covered with an erup-
ton like that caused by poison ivy. The
pink and delicate little plant was i'm
nlediately suspected, and was, after g.
struggle, consigned, pot and all, to the
dark waters of the river. I know Of
many cases Of serious POISONING.
may be traced to the Primula, enough
and more to fully justify the evil repu-
tation it has gained.
Though the fact is well established
that all persons are not susceptible to
its poison, there will probably be, some
member Of the family who will suffer by
coming in contact with the leaves or
stem Of the Primula. The effects of the
poison of this plant are positive, and
are OF too serious nature to warrant it's
presence in the home
1t will be noticed that the plant Is COW
cred with translucent hairs Other than
these visible structures are a set of
smaller ones, scarcely discernible under
a powerful pocket glass. and bearing
about the same relatioi to the larger
set as do the alders and spice bushes in
an open grove to the tall oaks and tulips
above them. Under a high magnifica-
ton the glandular structure of the hairs
is apparent, the short set Of these seq
ments, the long stem of ten or SO, each
tipped with drop of viscid AMBER
colored secretion. In passing the section
through stain, alcohol or oil of cloves.
this terminal viscid globule is dissolved
away, and leaves shallow cup distinct
ly visible after staining.
1t is easy to see how. this secretion. be-
Ing held at the tip Of the bristles. might
cling, when fresh, to any skin that came
in contact with ID and be absorbed into
the circulation of thoset with especialIv

QUEER THINGS IN TEXAS.

Sun, WOOD and Air Act Strangely to
Northern Eyes.
There are some queer things down
here, writes a Texas correspondent of
the Fulton Democrat. For instance,
the best wood you can get will burn
out while you are mixing the dough
for your biscuits. There has not been
a night in three months when one
needed any covering. All gloves,
shoes and other leathern articles will
soon mildew and be ruined if neg
lected. One cannot keep bread and
cake in tin boxes, as they will thus
spoil in a day. It is the washerwom-
ans paradise, owing to the fine bleach
ing qualities of Texan artesian water
and Texan sunshine. Stamps and en-
velopes stick together in the most ex-
asperating fashion in spite of every
precaution. A daily bath is not lux
ury, but a necessity; one living here
can understand why the ancient Pom
peiians spent 80 much time in their
baths, The suns heat is like a blast
from q hot furnace; it will blister the
tender flesh on ones shoulders in q
minute; and yet one can walk, work or
drive in this sunshine with impunity
from danger of sunstroxe, and with far
less discomfort than in the summer
sunshine of the north. One may take
a severe cold. and in day it is gone.
The severest fevers usually vanish in a
day. One may get his feet wet, or may
be thoroughly drenched in rain, with.
out evil effects except to his clothing.

Ciearette smokinc In England.

1t is puzzling to account for the diff
ferent status of the cigarette in Eng
land and the United States. Here it is
very rare to find a man past middle life
smoking cigarettes, yet the statement
is made on good authority that Herbert
Spencer, who is seventy-five, smokes
them, and it is noticeable in reading
the personal gossip of London weekly
papers that the same fault (from ci-
gar smokers point of view is alleged
against many men of prominence in
life. When Emily Faithful died the
story of her fondness for cigarettes
was repeated, and it shocked many
American readers; but Miss Faithful
was not unique among English ladies
in this indulgence. In the case of the
men perhaps the inferior quality of
their cigars and the proximity Of Eng
land to the continent may account for
the preference given the cigarette.

VIRGINIA ORJ ECTS.

The proposition to further despoil
the State of Virginia of its territory
by having restored 10 the District of
Columbia n portion of Alexandra coun-
~ comes in the nature of a surprise, and
the attempt should be resisted to the
bitter end. Virginia has already suffer
ed enough in this regard to permit
any further despoilation of her domain.
and it appears almost futile to debate
the question as the State will never
consent TO it.
However, the effort Is 10 be made.
and If 1t succeeds Virginia will be the
loser. In no event can the State be
profited by the transfer to the General
Cover nment of the land which 1t seeks
at our hands.
OF course, without the consent OF the
state of Virginia the project will fall
through. unless the constitutionality OF
the act of 1916, by which the land was
conveyed to Virginia, should be success
fully attacked in the Supreme Court OF
the United States. and there is strong
talk among Congressman to Test the
act.
II the act OF 1916 should be declared
unconstitutional by the Supreme Court
then the whole territory given
back to Virginia by that act would re-
vert to the District of Columbia. whe.
!her the State consents to /; or not. bu
men learned In the law say that there
is little fear Of such n decision.
The question of acquiring the land
has been raised. however, and the Stat,
