A SOPoRIFIC PLANT.
fected by One That Grows
I'm 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 fax, and because of its beauti-
full blossoms is used extensively for
bouquets. In Texas and New Mexico
a species of this plant, called stipa
yiridula, possesses soporitic 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 tumultuously. Accompanying this
there is profuse sweating exhaustion.
The poor animal seems violently sick.
However, in few days his state be-
comes normal again.
Strangely enough, sheep are not af-
fected by this plant. AS an experiment,
Mr.. Gillespie inoculated frogs and rab-
bits 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 strong narcotic.

An Instance Of the Splendid Courage
and Loyalty Of Uncle SAINTS
Soldiers.

The brightest page in the history Of
any war is, perhaps, thatw which records
the though:fulness OK the officers and
the faithfulness of their men--qual-
tiles which, when conjoined, make a
regiment an almost irresistible force.
In "The Story of the Rough Riders"
Edward Marshall tells how, when Capt.
McCHntock was wounded, one of his
troopers came and lay down beside
him.
You'd better get out of this" said
McClintock Its too hot"
"Don't worry, captain," the man re-
piled. I'm between you and the fir
ing line"
McClintock, touchedas he was by this
exhibition of the mans devotion, still
wanted him TO get away. He urged
him to leave. The man refused. Finally
McClintock said:
''I'm your captain, and l order you
to go. You are doing no good to any
one but me. This is no place for u
we'll man. l order you"
Then the man had to tell.
Il amt no well man." he slowly ad-
mitted. I'm shot"
"Where?" asked McChntock.
"Oh, it's only scratchl"
They lay there in silence for a long
time. The firing began to come from
the left. The soldier worked his pain
full way around until he was again be-
tween McClintock and the line of fire.
McClintock was too weak from loss of
blood even to speak. Then hospital
man came and lifted McClintock to
carry him back.
Take him, too," McClintock man
aged to articulate.

POOR BABY.
A PhiIadeIphia Father Is bound to
Make a Wonder of His Year
Old Infant.

There is physician in West Philadel
phia who has son 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 cane in
his two. bands and the baby, grasping
it, wiKRaw 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 daily massage treat
ment. Every morning he lays the little
fellow, naked, on blanket and kneads
his muscles for 80 minutes. Once a
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 hat
on its head, and in the summer 1t wears
only little sleeveless dress that comes
to its knees. 1t takes cold bath every
morning.
"H nothing goes wrong" the physi-
clan often declares, "this child will be
one of the strongest men the world has
ever seen. He will never get bald, and
he will never lose tooth. As for his
muscles, with massage and course of
exercise that l have laid out, they will
be 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 a young girl"

STOCKTON, July 4.-Exuberant pa
trlotism pervaded the city to-day. 1t has
been many years since Stockton witnessed
such a celebration of the national an
niversary. More flags were flung to the
breeze, more bunting used and more pow
der burned than on any such occasion
within the memory of the younger gen
Grafton. The unanimous spirit with
which people of all classes united in the
celebration was one of the most pleasant
and profitable lessons of the day;
The rising sun was greeted by the ring
ing of the church bells and the boom or
cannon. The morning hours were made
lively by the gathering Of the various or
ganiZatlOnS which were to take part in
the parade. The length of the process
sion and the rich spectacular features 1t
possessed surprised the thousands who
gathered to watch 1t move through the
principal thoroughfareS of the city.
Grand Marshal Koch succeeded in get
ting the various organizations in line AMI
on the march shortly after 10 o'clock. The
route was lengthy, but the cool day ia
vOred the participants. The procession
was composed of the various civic, mill
tary and fraternal societies of the city.
y large number of floats typifying pa
triotic subjects were furnished by the
committee and the lodges, clubs and as
Sociations were represented in a similar
manner. The military companies and the
exempt firemen, with the "old machine
made a nice showing.
The richest of all, however, was the
Oriental division, made up by the local
Chinese. The Mongols carried the big
Eest American flag in the procession at
the head of their division, and the spec
tacular show which followed attracted
more attention than any other. The local
Mongols spread themselves" and were
evidently pleased with the reception ac-
corded them.
The literary exercises were held during
the afternoon at the Yosemite Theater.

SACRAMENTO, July 4-The Fourth Of
July celebration which closed to-nigh: was
one of the most successful ever held in
Sacramento. From morning until late at
night there was always something to en-
gage the attention of the people, and not
an hour passed but 1t was marked by
some patriotic feature. The DAY opened
cool and beautiful. the weather proving
a delightful release from the hOc spell
which has prevailed for some days
marked the approach Of day and desig-
mated the hour when the procession was
to start.
The parade was novel in many particu-
lars. Some of the more prominent fea-
lures of the line were the military COM
pany which had marched seventy miles
order to join in the Capital CiJy's Celebra-
ton; the local lodge Of Elks, drawing af-
ter them an immense float representing
a mantel clock Of deep purple color,
trimmed with gold and with the face des-

Some of the equipages in line were most
attractive. One was a cart covered with
flowers and driven by Mrs. Homer Buck
man. Another, a vision of light blue eff
feet, was a tandem turnout, in which
were seated Miss Flora Meister and Miss
Edna McCIatchy.
Literary exercises followed the parade,
the orator of the day being Superior
Judge Gaddis of Woodland. These were
followed by daylight fireworks at Capitol
Park, witnessed by an immense crowd.
and the butchers picnic at Agricultural
Park, at which there were horse races, a
barbecue, a speed contest between steers
and a chase by innumerable Juveniles
after brace Of creased pigs. The picnic
was in every sense enjoyable and the
brawny butchers had no end of fun.
The game of ball between the Gilt

former walloped the latter. added to the
delectation of the populace
Tonight the dizzy Whirl which the town
experienced was climaxed by a pyrotech-
mic display and open air concert at Capt.

of the Capitol and making the air radiant
and musical by turns All around, the
Fourth of July was a noteworthy one, and
the several thousand visitors from out
side places were charmed with the variety
Of entertainment offered.
