A SOPORIFIC PLANT.
Cows and Horses Are Peculiarly AZ
fected by One That Crows
In Texas.

Mr.. Gillespie, of Edinburgh, has
action of certain plants found in Rus
sia and in America, says the Boston
Transcript. These plants are known
To botanists under the name of stipa.
On the Mediterranean coast, where the
stipa grows in profusion, it is called
virgins flax, and because of it's beauti-
full blossoms is used extensively for
bouquets. In Texas and New Mexico
a species of this plant, called stipa
yiridula, possesses soporific qualities.
Cowboys and herders of the west, where
the plant grows luxuriantly, often find
to their astonishment that their cows
and horses are suddenly overcome with
sleepiness, accompanied with great
weakness. They are rendered incapa-
BILE of travelling and cannot exert them
selves without great effort. Horses and
cows are affected alike. The head falls
low, the body trembles, the breath
comes with difficulty and the heart
beats unanimously. Accompanying this
there is profuse sweating exhaustion.
The poor animal seems violently sick.
However, in n few days his state be-
comes normal again.
Strangely enough, sheep are not az
fected by this plant. As an experiment,
Mr.. Gillespie inoculated frogs and rab-
hits with an extract from the stipa
viridula. After the injection the ami
mails were apparently seized with hal
lucinations and suffered the anxiety
and paralysis of a strong narcotic.

REMEMBERED PARTING.
After Three Years of Separation
Naval Omcer and His spouse
Exchange Greetings.

Navy families are used to separations.
A middle aged officer of the navy left
Washington three years ago for n
cruise on the China station, says the
Post. On the evening that he left his
wife herself prepared an especially
dainty dinner for him, the bill of fare
winding up with strawberry shortcake.
Only half the shortcake could be eaten
by the family, so heartily had they par
taken of the other yiands, and the Of
fcer said to his wife: "You can just
put the remaining half of that short
it Tomorrow" lie forgot for the mo-
ment that he was going away that
night. His wife went down to the
STATEN with him and among the final
Instruction. she gave him was an i'm
pcratiye command to have his hair
trimmed as soon rs he reached san
Francisco. The officer had, absent
Inindediy, permitted his hair to grow
rather long.
He returned to Washington recently,
after an absence Of a month more than
three years. His wife met him at the
station. After their first salutation
she said to him, smiling:

and had your hair cut"
"Yes, my dear" replied the officer,

POOR BABY.
A Philadelphia Father Is Hound 10
Make . Wonder of His Year
Old Infant.

There is a physician in West Philadel-
phia who has a sen one year old and
this baby is probably the strongest hui
man being for its age and weight in the
world, Its father will hold a cane in
his two hands and the baby, grasping
it., will draw itself up to its chin three
times. That is but one of its numerous
feats of strength. The physician says
that his boys unusual muscular devel-
opment is due to n daily massage treat
ment. Every morning he lays the little
fellow, naked, on a blanket and kneads
his muscles for 30 minutes. Once q
month he weighs the baby and meas
ures its calves, chest, arms, etc. The
monthly increase of weight and girth
is remarkable. The baby has never had
shoes or stockings on its feet or a hat
on its head, and in the summer il wears
only little sleeveless dress that comes
10 its knees. 1t takes a cold bath every
morning.
IF nothing goes wrong" the physi-
elan often declares, this child will be
one of the strongest men the world has
ever seen. lie will never get bald, and
he will never lose tooth. AS for his
muscles, with massage and course OF
exercise that | have laid out, they will
he big and supple all over his body. All
his flesh will be, when tense, as hard
as steel, and when relaxed as soft as the
flesh of young girl"
