4 SOpORIFIC PLANT.
Cows ana Horses Are Peculiarly AZ
fccted by One Tint Grows
In Texas.

Mr.. Gillespie, of Edinburgh, has
called attention TO the curious soporific
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, 1T Is called
virgins flax, and because of its beauti-
full blossoms is used extensively for
bouquets. In Texas and New Mexico
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 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. Asan 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.

No Naval Parade For Long Branch.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-The people
of Long Branch have been seeking to
have the navy department assist them in
getting up naval demonstration on the
18th or Goth inst. The department does
not look with favor on the project, how
ever, as Long Branch is an open road
stead, where warships would be much ex-
posed, so that it is probable the request
for ships will be denied.

ONCE more the city council has de-
monstrated that it is not to be trusted
to administer the affairs of the city in
the interests of the people. In award
ing the five year contract to the pres
emit electric light company the council,
wilfully blind to the demands of the
people, has shown that public benefit
is the last thing to be considered by 1t
when contracts are to be made.
Mayor Msgofin had been instruct
ed to advertise for competitive bids.
He did not do 90 because the attorney
for the electric light company asked
pears, Is not the servant of the people,
but of private interests. Judge
Buckler states that the committee OF
the city council asked his company to
make q certain rate, the committee
stating that in its opinion the council
would accept the rate suggested.
All this quiet work took
place after the order had been
made to advertise for competitive bids.
1t is q parallel case with the school
board business. Be q little fair in
public, and all false in secret. The
completion of five year contract with
the present company, in the face of
the fact that negotiations are on foot
to induce new capital to invest here.
with view to securing cheaper
and better service, will simply
put club in the hands
of the present concern with (which to
fight any innovation. It is not fair to
those who are working to have suit
able electric street car and lighting
system in this city. It savors of treach-
cry. The company will make no change
in the present exhorbitant prices for
incandescent lights to private users.
The city council railroaded the matter
through without any serious attempt
at investigation, or else it will
fully disregarded the plain
desires of the citizens. The
citizens of Ell Paso are aroused
thoroughly in this matter. The
protest against the action of the coun-
oil is general among all classes of citi-
zens. It will be outrageous if this
should by all means veto the measure,
and see that the people'5f the city are
better protected.

Wire Dead Instead of Tree.

Not long ago a prominent citi-
zen of New Orleans went raging
into the electric light cOmpanys
office and declared that one of
their wires had killed a pet tree
on his premises. THAT tree,
said he, has been standing there
for twenty years. My children
played under it when they were
babies and it is associated with
some of the pleasantest memories
of my life. When it began TO
die we all mOurned and we could
not imagine what allied it until
yesterday, when I noticed that
wire was lying right across Il
branch. My poor tree had been
electrocuted and I feel as if MUIR
der has been done in my house"
Considerably moved the agent of
the company went to view the
scene of the tragedy and found
the tree still alive, but feeble
When he came to trace the wire
he discovered one end nailed to
tie roof of an old barn and the
other twisted around a discarded
pole. 1t had been cut off at least
two years and forgotten. But
the occasion demanded some
thing, so he made the following
report: Stree alive, wire dead.
Wire evidently killed by the tree.

A Cheering Incident.

The performance of Mrs. EN-
mons Blaine of Chicago in volun-
tarily filing with the tax asses
sCrs a schedule of her personal
property amounting to over a mil
lion and a half of dollars is a
cheering incident, and might well
be taken as an example to our
rich men. If they would follow
this example of Mrs. Blaine by
volunteering to tell the truth, the
whole truth and nothing but the
truth, as to their possessions, one
of the perplexing problems as to
the taxation Of personal property
would at last be solved.

Bun Ka-ries.

"Bun worries" is descriptive
enough, but not SO proper a title
as ''tea trots,'' but they mean the
same. One victim opens her heart
to the Cincinnati Inquirer in this
fashion:
IT never remember finishing q
sentence which [ have commenc-
cd at one of these functions. Be
fore 1 have a chance TO round it
off I am interrupted, dragged
away or confronted with a new
face to whom I am introduced. L
begin again and again. 1 have
the same trouble with my cups Of
tea. I put them down half emp
tied TO greet some new arrival,
to find them whisked away, and
each one repeats the history OF
its predecessor.
Il leave these bun worries
with a trail of unfinished phrases
and undrunk cups of tea behind
me. I go home in a thoroughly
unkempt frame of mind, with q
tendency to leave off everything
/ undertake ard start something
fresh 1t is really a sort OF dis
case. a sort of o'clock tea paral-
ysis. just listen to any of these
receptions, and you will agree
with me. The women talk in spas
modic staccato gasps. You never
get TO the point of a story or the
telling point of a biography. Ev
cry one has her eye on the door
for the new arrival, who may
prove more interesting or more
desirable than the one she is talk
ing to.
'"Pardon me- seems to be the
excuse for every form of CONVEX
sational rudeness. I believe this
form of nervousness is one of the
many symptoms of the national
unrest or lack of pOise of which
foreigners so bitterly complain"
