| aTH1RTY po1soNoUs PLANTS. ;,
Government List Which Includes Many Varieties Supposed to
 Be Harmless.

Send to the department of agricui- ture at Washington, D. C.; for free pamphlet entitled Thirty Poisonous Plants" Every one who loves to roam in fields and forest should know the poisonous plants, says Nature and Science,'' in St. Nicholas. It is very for tunate for those who are found of rambling through the fields and woods that most of the plants in that govern ment list are poisonous only when eat en. Nearly all cases of skin poisoning are from poison ivy or poison sumac.
 It will doubtless surprise many who read this pmaphlet of Thirty Poison ous Plants" to learn that the lady slippers or moccasin flowers are in cluded in the. list. A poisonous oil similar to that of poison ivy is secreted in the leaf hairs, especially at the fruit ing season. The leaves and flowers of the lily-of-the-valley are also poison ous when taken internally. The taste, however, is very bitter, so no one is likely to eat them.
 The beautiful mountain laurel is so often eaten by sheep, resulting in their death, that the farmer calls it sheep laurel, or poison-laureI.

RELIANCE LEADS AT TRIAL.
Beats Old Cup Yachts by Very Mar
 row Margin.

GREENWICH POINT, Conn, June 20.-Although the weather was as un- promising for yacht race as could be imagined, the three ninety Hooters, Re liance, Constitution and Columbia, be- gan twenty-five mile race across the Sandy Hook course.
 The Constitution got the start and, swinging around the mark boat, head ed for the line on the starboard tack. The Reliance, however, came rushing for the line and cut in between the Constitution and the mark boat, and, although the Belmont boat was across the line first, the Reliance had no diff dculty in esta blishing herself on the Constitution's weather quarter. Within minute after the start the Reliance was the leading boat.
 The Columbia was behind the other two, also crossing the line on the star board tack. But she immediately swung around on the port tack and headed for the Long Island shore, where, where there was a little more wind and not so much tide. Five min utes afterward the Reliance followed as well as the Constitution.
 During the first half hour of the race the Reliance gained on the Constitution until she was about quarter of mile ahead, with. the Columbia steadily dropping astern. All the boats went over to the Long Island shore and be- gan to make sharp tacks along the beach.
 The run home was a close fetch, and Reliance gained a few seconds. Five miles from the finish it looked as if the Constitution would win the race on time allowance
 The Reliance beat the Constitution at the finish line by minute and 54 seconds and the Columbia by 18 min utes and 28 seconds. It is thought that the Reliance won the prize from the Constitution by few seconds, al though the time allowance which the former must give to the latter is close to two minutes. The exact amount of the allowance will not be known till later in the season.

WATER oN RAILWAY TRAINS
Source of Frequent Infection Which
 Has Escaped the Notice of 4 Sanftarians.

The drinking water furnished by the railways who knows anything about it? What are the regulations of the different companies as to it's purity, and the cleansing of the tanks and coolers insrailway waitingsrooms, cars, steamboats, etc.2 In the presence of the great fatality of typhoid fever and the recent increase of the disease all over the country the foregoing ques- ton seems very apropos. Certainly the transportation companies do not generally furnish their patrons with boiled, filtered or spring water, and just as certainly the water furnished by most of our cities, especially Chi cago and Philadelphia, is contaminat- ed and dangerous. One constantly no tices the engineer or fireman drinking from the tank of the tender, and the men who handle the freight trains, the station agents all along the road-is there any attempt, is there any com pany that makes any serious and thor oughgoing effort to supply these em- ployes with pure water? asks Ameri- can Medicine. Whose business is it to see that the railways do their duty in this respect2 Can any of our readers tell us what laws have been passed or what regulations of city and state gov ernments, and of boards of health, ex- ist concerning this important subjectY Have we.not here source of frequent infection which has too much escaped the attention of sanitarians?

WHERE rRAMPs LUxURIATE.
Summer Cottages on the Atlantic Coast Used by the Hobos as
 Winter Quarters.

All along the Atlantic coast, from Florida to Maine almost, there are scores of summer hotels, with the cot tages annexed to them, sheltering guests who pay neither for rent. food nor fuel. They have no smiling and effulgentI clerk to bid them welcome and put their valuables in the safe; no bell boys at the call; no walters to tip; no telephone connection with a nearby livery stable. Their names are not published in the newspapers. They seek seclusion, not .notoriety. They keep themselves warm without fires; for where there is a fire there is generally smoke, and smoke would be- tray them. When darkness falls their day is done, for light shining through the shuttered windows would soon make them homeless, or transfer them from hotel to jail.
 All this, reports an eastern exchange, is on the authority of a tramp who has been through the mill, as he ex- pressed it to constable in Connecti- cut a few days ago, when confronted with an opportunity of going to work for the state or telling his tale and getting out of the state to save the constable's reputatio

DETECTED BY THE PARROT.
Little Girls Tendency to Filler
 Sweets Checked by an Ob- !. servant Bird.

There is a parrot living on Tomp- kins avenue in the vicinity of Gates which should have a place on the de- tective force, says the Brooklyn Eagle There is little girl living on Gates avenue, near Tompkins, who has been taught by the said parrot that old time saying, Honesty is the best pol icy" It happened in this wise: The parrot on these spring days takes an airing on the fire-escape at the back of his home. There is hre-escape at the back of the little girls home also, and while the two are quite distance apart, it is not far enough to hinder the parrot from seeing what goes on or to drown the sound of his voice when he shriel1s at its very top, as he sometimes does. A few days ago this little girls mother stewed some apri- cots. When they were done she sat them on the f1re-escape to get cool. The little girl came along while they were cooling. Her mother was no- where around, and the fruit looked so tempting that she thought she would take .siust one" Like Little Jack Horner, she stuck in her thumb and a finger as, we'll, but before she had time to pull out the plum B shrill voice sounded in her ear. Thief! thief! thief!'' was what it said. The child's fondness for apricots disappeared sud- denly and the parrot had the satisfac- tion of knowing that he had interfered just in time.

How the sultan Pays.

The usefulness of decorations was shown in the case of our Mrs. Ogden Goelet. Her yacht is stopped in the Dardane1les because it had two small sa1uting cannon on board. The mis- take is found out. What to do? An apology is offered. But that is clearly not enough. So the sultan confers a decoration on the owner It is so cheap a, way that it suits him. It is something to wear with evening dress, so it suits the lady. So everybody is happy. Orders with ribbons and stars and crosses are economical, and grati- fly the vanity of the recipient.-N. Y.

The interest of the children of the crowded city districts in green and growing things is pathetic, and Arbor day has done as much for them as for the rural districts.
