qualities. yet such is the case. and an

symptoms Of irritant poisoning. The
buttercup belongs to the eranunCulaceae.
and nearly all the members OF this
group possess poisonous qualities.
chiefly of an irritant nature. though Il
few narcotic principles are to lie found.
The yirulence of the poisons varies
very much. but there are very few in
dividualS of this order which are inert.
The various species of buttercIIps have
all irritant properties. and in the alb
sence of better drugs they have occa-
sionally been used as vesicatorieS.
Cows avoid buttercups. but hogs and
some other animals can eat them with
impunity. The active principle is vola-
tile. SO that when the buttercupS are
dried with hay or exposed to the air
they become inert. Luckily the but
tercup, though pretty to look at. does
not usually tempt children to eat it
wholesale. otherwise cases of poison
ing might be less rare than they for
tunately are at present.-The Lancet.

Clothes Ruin Them.

When civilization reaches a race OF
natives, whether they be Pacific ISL
anders or African Islanders or African
Eulus, the first thing it says is, You
must be dressed" No doubt clothes
are an excellent thing in their way,
but to insist on the wearing in hot
countries, by races who have never be-
fore been clothed, of our absurd and
ilI-suited dress, is a far more certain
way of killing them off than even
whisky. 1t is easily to be seen why.
The sayage's skin, just like an ami
mails is tough and hardy, and ac-
customed to easily adjust itself to the
changes of moisture and temperature.
A savage never catches cold until he
takes to clothes. So what happens
when he is covered with clothes? The
skin loses its quick power of accommo-
dation. Its natural moisture is not al
lowed to dry. For the first time in his
life he catches cold.
This is the beginning of the end. He
does not know how to take care Of HIM
self. Very soon his lungs become af-
fected, and his health entirely breaks.

more than anything else. and the Sand

Chinese Wife Trade.

The Chinese in Australia and else
where send home to China for their
wives. and bargaining is quite mat
ter Of business. The price of wives
is said to be falling, because the sup
ply is exceeding the demand. The Chi
namen, when they take a notion to
marry, write to matrimonial agent in
Hong Kong. One letter was as fol-
lows: 81 want wife. She must be n
maiden under 20 years of age, and
must not have left her fathers house.
She must also have never read book,
and her eyelashes must be half an inch
in length"
There is regular tariff for these
wives. The price of Chinese woman
delivered in Sidney is $3.50, but two
Chinese women only cost $500; there
fore, the Chinese import the women in
couples. The importer never sees the
women before they arrive. and then he
generally selects the best-looking one.
