A TERRIBLE PLANT.
It Grows in Mexico and Its TOXIC
Properties Are Deadly in
Effect.

Among the plants of the earth prob
ably none possess stranger properties
than the talavatch Of Mexico. Its tox-
ic effects are rema arka BILE as those as
cribed to the tabled waters of the
Lethe, only do they differ in that in
stead Of destroying the memory of the
past, as the Letheon potion was sup
posed to do, the talavatch works de-
struction CT the memory Of the things
to come, and does not affect The men,
ory of the past. The victim knows n o
more of time, but that which is in tho
past before he has quaffed this strange
and awful decoction. The physical
functions are in no wise disturbed by
its administration, but the mind hence
forth becomes no longer receptive, and
passing events are not noted by it, and
no record is made in the realm of rea-
SOD as to what transpires. The vic
tim often lives for years after having
been "talavatched," but always lives
in the past. Past delights are mostly
dwelt upon and conversed about. Sad
indeed is the case of member of the
royal family of Mexico, a relic of the
days of the empire, who for years has
BEEN the victim Of the effects of this
wonderful drug. She was poisoned
with it by an unfaithful servant, and
to-day lives in strict seclusion, still in
her mind the proud possessor Of all
the privileges of her departed nobility.
There is in Texas plant of a similar
species known aS the loco weed, which,
when eaten by horses, always renders
them insane, but produces no impair
ment of body.

THE CYCLE AND CYCLISTS.

There are claimed to be nearly 1,50O
cycle clubs in England.
There is more exertion used in run
ming 200 yards than in riding bicycle
four miles.
Ball bearings are said to have been
invented in 176O by one John Wyatt, an
Englishman.
Some of the gendarmes in France are
about to be supplied with bicycles
Hitherto they have been accustomed to
patrol country districts on foot or on
horseback looking out for criminals
The late minister of war, Gen. Zurlin-
den, decided before leaving office that
some of the men should receive bicy'
cles and use them for a year or two by
way of experiment.

RAILROAD EXTENSION
The Burlington Said to Be Seeking Western
Outlet to the Pacific Coast.
MAY TRAVERSE GRANITE COUNTY
Our New Pacific Possessions Expected to
Stimulate Trade to Such An Extent
That Several Great Railroads
Will Build to the Coast.

Granite county is to experience ad
ditional prosperity this coming sum-
mer. Aside from the revival of our
prominent mining industries, it is
said that a good deal of railroad build
ing is not among the improbabilities
during the present year.
The Burlington will extend its line
port has it that operations will be
commenced in the spring by the Bur-
lington company to extend its line
from Billings to Butte and Anaconda
by way Of Livingston. and from Ana.
conda the proposed route will touch
Philipsburg and the Bitter Root valley
and will terminrte at Portland.
Attracted by the immense increase
of trade on the Pacific coast, several
railroads will extend their lines to the
Pacific. and that the Burlington will
be among the first to do so is not ques-
toned. A vast mineral country on
the headwatees of the several forks of
Rock creek will be opened up and
mines in that section. at present prac-
tically worthless owing to their remote
location, will become very valuable
and desirable properties Aslde from
the vast mineral belt thus opened up
there are endless forests along this
proposed route which will supply our
mills and mines with the necessary
fuel and timber.
The Butte, Anaconda & Pacific is
coming nearer to Silver Lake right
along, and it is apparent that during
the approaching summer this company
will extend its tines to Hamilton.
Nearly all of the mining timber used
| in the mines of the Anaconda com
pany comes from Hamilton. and a
great saving in freight would result
should this line be built from Anacon-
da to Hamilton. Many railroads will
| be constructed westward this year, and
| the Burlington will be among the first
to commence operations.

THE OYSTER IN EUROPE.
Some Places Where the Succulent
Hvalve IL Reared and
Highly Prised.

An oyster feast is held every year at
Colchester, England, but this years
feast was the greatest on record. a
special train carried down the guests
from London, and, says the Westunin-
ster Gazette, besides the duke of Cam
bridge, the lord mayor Of London and
his sheriffs and the lord provost OF
Edinburgh were among those intent
on playing the walrus and the car
penter with the waiting oysters The
pict old town was en- fete, and
gay with flags and soldiers. The first
function was the laying of the corner
stone of the Tower hall, which is to be
a commodious and handsome building
with a clock tower. Then followed the
grandest oyster banquet ever held in
England.
Apropos, the Sketch celebrates the
oyster at length, saying in the course
of it's article: The most interesting
experiments in oyster culture have
been made in Holland. The Dutch pos
sessed splendid natural beds among
the islands of iceland, and in the
Zuyder Zee, but excessive dredging had
almost exhausted them. In 1870 it was
determined to try the effect Of oyster
culture. In the neighborhood of Yer
seke, in that part of the isla nd of Beve-
land where the Ooster Scheldt washes
the "Drowned Iand," oyster fisheries
were withdrawn from the public and
leased out for IS years to oyster cul-
turists at an inclusive yearly rental OF
about e1.7oo. So successful was the
experiment that in 1885 the fisheries
were released at an inclusive yearly
rental of about s2s,0O0. More than
this, whereas IS years ago there were
only poor hamlets in the neighborhood
of the oyster fisheries. prosper ous vii
lagos have now sprung up and the
Dutch "native" fairly disputes the palm
for excellence of flavor with the Brit.
i2h-born Oyster.
