Some That Poison Men Are Food to
Beasts.

Beasts.
From Afnslee's Magazine.
The common pokeberry presents a spec
tacie of contradictory qualities. Birds eat
the berries which to men are poisonous
Cattle may eat the leaves when green ana
fresh, but If, perchance, they should eat
wilted leaf it would poison them. The
roots are deadly poison, yet the shoots
which grow up six inches high in the
spring are an excellent food for man-the
rival of asparagus and equally healthful-
Science has at last paused to inquire why
this should be so, and some day the chem
ical action which can make deadly poison
by whiting a leaf when the fresh one is
harmless will be discovered.
Similarly 1t has been observed of Ameri-
can false hellebore or itchweed that the
seeds are poisonous to chickens, ana thattne
leaves and roots are poisonous to men ana
horses. but that sheep and elk. which chew
the cud seem to. relish the plant. In all.
the poison, when in the system, acts alike,
paralyzing the heart and spinal cord. The
poisonous element of the corncockle has not
yet been explained, but its curious action
has already been observed. When ex-
tracted it mikes freely with water, froths
like soap, and, though odorless. will when
inhaled produce violent sneezing. Caper
spurge. the common gopher plant or spring
wort, is curious in that the mere handling
of it will poison to the extent of producing
pimples and often gangrene. 1t is a thing
that cattle can eat without harm, and
goats eat freely, but the milk of the latter
will then be deadly poison. In men a mod
crate dose will produce a general collapse
and death in few hours. The poison of
the sneezeweed develops mostly in the
SNOWY yellow flowers, and is violent. The
young plants are comparatively harmless.
and even in the mature ones the poison va
ries greatly, some having scarcely any at
all.
In the case of this plant and the woolly
and stemless loco weeds some effort has
been made to find out where they get their
deadly poisons. That of the loco weeds is
most subtle thing. The poison of the
wooliy loco produces strange hallucinations
in its victims. 1t affects the eyesight and
silently reaches one after another of the
vital functions, killing the victim In two
years time.
Some animals after eating it refuse every
other kind of food and seek only this. They
endure a lingering period of emaciation
characterized by sunken eyeballs, lusterless
hair and feeble movements, and eventually
die of starvation. So mystic an element
gathered from the earth and the air nat
uraIly causes wonder, and the desire to
know what such things may be and why
they are.

The Effect Of the Dfsm e mberment q
Poland on the Polish Tongue.

The Effect of the Dfsm embe rmenf Of
Poland on the Polish Tongue.
From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat
Prince Radziwill, representative from
Germany's section of Poland has just
made an eloquent plea before the reich
stag against the edicts under which Polish
children are scourged who refuse to study
the German language. The plea was vain.
however, The chancellor declared he
would oppose all efforts to set back the
course of history, and will see that the
Germans in the east do not fall beneath
the Polish Wheels This policy. more
over, he says, is followed by Austria and
Russia in their portions of Poland. 1t is
one Of the methods which most of the ma
tions of continental Europe take to sup
press the aspirations of peoples whom they
conquer.
When the three robbers Prussia 8
Frederick the Great, Russia's Catherine IL
and Austria's Maria Theresa, made their
first division of part of Polands territory

partition of Poland in 1893 between the
same countries and the third partition in
1795, virtually blotted out Poland, though
even yet the extreme rigors of the foreign
rule did not come.
Bonaparte, who. in his conquering march
across Europe, emancipated the peasants
of almost every country which he entered
from some of the tyrannies incident to the
feudai system, and who, while his power
lasted, lifted the Jews to a social equality
with the peoples among whom they lived.
attempted to free Russian Poland from the
Muscovite yoke, and thus won the Poles
support, but he was unable to carry out
his promise fully though he improved tenn
porarily the condition of some OF them.
