The Coughing Beam.

To the ordinary housemaid the fall
ing of a house plant into a violent
paroxysm of coughing is naturally
disconcerting. Yet there are, plants
which will do this when the broom
or the buster begins to make dust fly.
This singular plant Is the coughing
bean," known to the botanist as the
Eutada tussiens. 1t is a native of
warm and moist tropical countries and
cannot and will not stand dust. When
dust settles upon the breathing pores
in the leaves Of this plant and chokes
them, a gas accumulates inside the
leaves, and when it gains sufficient
strength forcibly elbows off," clearing
the pores of dust and making a sound
exactly like coughing. At the same
time the leaves tremble and the plant
actually ''gets red in the face" through
the sinking of the green chlorophyll
grains and the appearance of red par
ticles on the leaves. This plant is
sometimes used as q house plant, and
sweeping the room sets it coughing, to
the intense establishment of persons
not familiar with it's peculiarities.
