1t is not generally known that the
buttercup, which is such a favorite
flower with children, has poisonous
qualities, yet such is the case, and an
inquest has recently been held on a
boy who, after eating some butter
cups, died within few hours with all
the symptoms of irritant poisoning
The buttercup belongs to the Ranun-
culacce, and nearly all the members
of this group possess poisonous quail
ties, chiefly of an irritant nature,
though in a few narcotic principles are
to be found. The virulence of the
poisons varies very much, but there
are very few individuals of this order
which are inert The various species
of buttercups have all irritant proper
ties, and in the absence of better
dlugs they have occasionally been
used as vesicatories. Cows avoid
buttercups, but hogs and some other
animals can eat them with impunity.
The active principle is volatile, so that
when the buttercups are dried with
hay or exposed to the air they become
inert Luckily the buttercup, though
pretty to look at, does not usually
tempt children to eat it wholesale,
otherwise cases of poisoning might be
less rae than they fortunately are at
present. Lancet.

preparing and Cooking Vegetables
although it is well known that the
American markets give an abundance
of vegetables. It is regretted that there
is no country where they are so little
appreciated writes Mrs s. T. Rorer,
in the Ladies' Home journal. ITO this
omission may be traced much discom-
fort among the poorer classes. The
leguminous seed, peas, beans, and len
ills, yield almost double the amount Of
muscle-making food to be found In
beef. One pound of beans costing 3
cents VIII give food value equal to
two pounds Of beef at 30 cents. an item
of economy worthy Of thought. am
in this considering old peas and beans;
those green or unripe contain a larger
amount Of water and more sugar, and
less albuminous matter, but on the
other hand they are more easily
digested.
'All concentrated vegetable foods re.
quire long. slow cooking to render them
suitable for use. A little baking soda
added to the water in which old peas
and beans are cooked removes the
strong flavor, making them much more
delicate. All vegetables should be
washed well in cold water. Green veg
etables, such as spinach, caullhower,
cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cucumbers,

MORE ACCURATE PREDICTIONS.
Interesting Experiments Recently Mad
by the Weather bureau.


by the Weather Bureau.
The most significant development
in weather forecasting for years, maxi
ing it possible to forecast for period
at least sixteen hours longer than at
present ald more accurately, has been
attained by the weather bureau and
soon will bear practical fruit. This is
the result of experiments with kites
flown at distances one to two miles
above the surface Of the earth, which
have been quietly conducted in this
city for some weeks. Daily readings
have been taken at this altitude and
the fact has been established that
shifting of the wind occurs at mile
level above the earth's surface, from
twelve to sixteen hours before the
same change of direction occurs Oh
the surface. This is due to the same
forces which operate to cause wind
shifts to produce a storm; one condi-
tion being dependent on the other.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has
taken great interest iii the expert
ments, which were made by Chief
Moore of the weather bureau, and his
consultations with Professor Moore
have resulted in the formulation of =
policy which will make weather pre-
dictions more valuable in the future.
The most imperfect part of weather
forecasts now is the prediction as to
rain or snow. Meteorologists for the
past ten years have been impressed
with the fact that future data as to
storms must come from a knowledge
Of upper air conditions. The aero
plane investigations have reached that
point where it can be safely stated
that within six months the govern
ment weather bureau, for the first
time in the history of any meteorologi-
cal service, can constructs a telegraphic
synchronis chart based on air condi-
tions one mile above the earth. This
chart will cover the conditions be-
tween the Alleghanies and the Rockies
at the outset.
Chief Moore says this step probably
will mark new epoch in the weather
forecasting problem. With these
high-level readings the bureau will
have the moisture content of the upper
strata as we'll as the lower. 1t will be
seen how important this double in
formation is when it is considered that
the two strata of air may by shifting
of the wind become mixed within
twenty-four hours aud that the pre-
cipitation will depend upon the aver
age moisture of the mass. Washing

"ThE TENpERFooT."

The overland stage started
From the station at Cheyenne,
With me, the one girl passenger,
Amid dozen men.
On either side a cowboy sat.
With pistol, knife and braided hat.
They talked Of hold-ups, Pi-utes,
OF ambush, of stampedes
II terrified my woman's heart
To hear their bloody deeds.
l was pale school teacher then,
And gloried In the strength of men.
There was one who sat and hearkened
To the awful tales we heard.
A "tenderfoot," they called him
Their contempt might be inferred
A sort that under frontier laws
Was ranked with clergymen aud squaws.
And though liked his quiet ways,
And kindly, honest face,
l felt that mid these heroes fierce
He looked quite out of place,
As he sat and meekly listened
To the way they had him christened.
We went rattling down the canyon;
From ledge to ledge we dropped,
When from a bush a shotgun flashed
The bronchos reared and stopped.
