A TREE THAT STINGS.
From Tit Bits.


There has lately been added to the collection OF
plants at the Botanic Gardens at Madras. India. a
speciment OF strange tree. II is In size scarcely
than bush. but other individuals OF Its species
are known to have attained in their habitat In the
Iiimalayas Burmah. and the Malacca Peninsula, the
dimensions of a large tree. from fifty to seventy
feet In height. The Madras specimen Is surrounded
by strong railing. which bears the sign Dangerous
ALI persons are forbidden to touch the leaves or
branches OF this tree"
II Is therefore forbidden tree in the midst OF the
garden. but no one is tempted to touch It, for II is
known TO be burning tree" This name Is a
msnomer. for The tree stings rather than burns
Beneath the leaves there are stngs comparable to
those OF nettles, which, when touched pierce the
skin and secrete fluid which certainly has burn

The sting leaves no outward sign. but the sensa-
ton OF pain persists sometimes for months, and IL
especially keen damp days. when the place

oANNY SCOTS.
st endrew's day celebrated by the
Scottish Thistle Club.

Scottish Thistle Club.
Last evening at the Scottish
Thistle Club rooms there was very
happy family gathering Of the Club
and its friends. or course, the
meeting was called to honor the
cross and the Saint who bore it, and
directed his compatriots in the line
OF progress iveness bravery, fidelity,
and perseverance in every land trod-
den by scotsman's foot, but none
the less were guests from other lands
present and accorded most cordial
greeting.
Those present we're men OF brain,
Drawn and wit and gathered together
in a homely fashion, to remember
childhood's "reminiscences, to recall
patriotic sentiments, and to impart
enjoyment to all present by song,
speech, dance and conviviality tenn
pered with discretion.
The program of exercises, formal
and informal, was lengthy one, and
it would be unfair to all who did
their best to select any one for spe-
cial MENTION, The musical and
literary contributions sprang from
the heart with the intention Of
pleasing all, and the intention was
invariably received with we'll merited
recognition.
To Chief White, Chieftain Wood,
Elk Chief Dali, Secretary Black and
his lady, for furnishing certain deli.
cacies appreciated by scotchman's
palate, and to the officers generally
great credit is due for the felicitous
celebration. The presence OF the
representative Of the sons OF St.
George was a happy and brotherly
incident, and the harmony existing
among the writer's OF the local jour
nails another.
And now all are anxious and wait
ing for the social dance OF December
10Th. when mothers, wives, sisters
and sweethearts, cousins and all will
participate in the enjoyment OF the
hospitable club

A BIG SEIZURE.
The Mount Lebanon Brings An In
voice OF Opium.

voice OF Opium.
The Washington Feed Co. receiv-
ed large invoice If hard bread by
the Mount Lebanon which arrived
here few days ago. The bread was
ordered by different firms iu town
among which was the firm OF j. T.
Warehouse and the cases we're all
marked j. T. w. The number Of
the cases landed did not correspond
with those mentioned on the invoice
and an investigation took place. 1t
was found that out OF the 1874 cases
OF crackers landed, 20 so far opened
contained opium.
Twelve pounds OF opium packed
in large tin had been placed in the
middle OF the crackers and tho i'm
porters OF the dope certainly had
good reasons to consider it safe
hiding place.
Strict instructions have recently
been given by the Minister Of
Finance to examine all aud every
thing landed here immaterial OF the
address or name Of the shipper.
The examination OF the Lebanon
freight is being carefully continued.
S. Lowden, the proprietor Of the
Washington Feed Co, was arrested
this morning and released on $1,000
bail, No other arrests have been
made when we go to press. Mr.. A.
l.. Morris, the manager OF the Wash
ington Feed Co. was seen and de-
clared that he was convinced OF the
innocence Of bis firm aud that a job
had been put up on them.
The firm OF Waterhouse has been
dealing largely in hard bread and a
year ago the contract of furnishing
hard bread to the Board of Health
was awarded to Warehouse. The
use OF WAREHOUSES; mark on the
cases containing opium needs full
investigation and the miscreant who
did it will be severely punished il
detected. The bread around the
opium is alright and didn't taste oil

gentleman and is an ardent member
