Curious Poison PLANS.

In Mexico there is a plant by the
name of palo de leche. 1t belongs to
the family of euphorbia. The Indians
throw the leaves into the water and
the fish become stupefed and rise to
the surface and are caught by the ma
tives. In this case the effect of the
narcotic soon passes off. The milk Of
this plant thrown upon the fire gives
out fumes which produce nausea and
severe headache. The milk taken in
ternally is deadly poison; it will pro-
duee death or insanity, according to
the size of the dose. There is popu-
lar belief among the lower class in
Mexico that the insanity of former En-
press Carlotta was caused by this
poison.
There are poisonous plants fnnumer-
able, yet few more so than one found
in the Royal Botanical Gardens at
Kew. This was the jalropha urens,
the properties of which are so noxious
that its possession is dangerous. Mr..
Smith. the curator of the gardens, was
one day searching over it when its
fine, bristly stings touched his arm.
The first sensation was that of numb
ness and swelling of the lips. Mr..
Smith soon fell unconscious. and it re-
quired the doctors greatest skill to re-
viye him. After this the plant was
put away in corner, but it soon after
disappeared. 1t is supposed the at
PENDANTS secretly made away with it.

WOMEN EASY TO WAKE
Hotel Men Have Greater Trouble In
Rousing Men from Their Slumbers.

Hotel Men Have Greater Trouble In
Rousing Men from Their SAUNDERS.
ut is UNNECESSARILY harder to
awaken men in the morning than it is
women" a hotel proprietor informs
me, says a writer in the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat. GA tap or two at a
womans door in the morning is sufh-
cient. No matter how late she may
have retired, no matter how exhausted
she may have been, no matter how
faint the yes that comes from the
bed in answer to the knock, you can
bank on it that within a half hour or
so that woman will walk into the din
ing room, bright-eyed and cheerful;
hut with a mar well, it's different.
"A man may leave a call for z
o'clock in the morning with the warn
ing that he must be up at that hour.
A few minutes before you detail a
boy for the purpose and tell him not
to stop pounding until the man awakes.
The room may be on the top floor,
but you can hear the thump, thump,
thump on the door way down in the
office. Does the man wake with a
faint yes and scramble out of bed?
Not he. The boy knocks until his
knuckles are sore, and then suddenly
a stentorian voice roars from the
room, Yes, yes, what in blazes is the
matter with you? DO you think I'm
deadT The boy retires, turns in his
report at the office and goes to ease
his hand in cold water.
Three hours later a swollen-eyed
individual, with wrinkles In his brow,
walks up to the desk. I thought
left G call here for o'clock in the
morning You did, and the bellboy
woke you promptly at T. That's a
little too strong is the answer, and
after you've argued with him for half
an hour you haven't convinced him
that he was actually awakened as he
had ordered. So it goes day after day.
The women get up promptly in re-
Spouse to a call, while the men in
variably turn over to have another
nap"

THINGS to Be Rnnished.

Here are a few things that must
be banished from a room with preten-
sions to taste: Papered ceilings; pale,
characterless colors; the insipid pinks
and blues, violets and greens, that the
calciminers are addicted to; Noting
ham lace curtains; Grapes, tides, etc.;
meaningless bows of ribbon tied on
various objects; frilled or founced
lamp shades; plush sets; stationary
rockers; folding beds; over-mantels;
plush frames; sofa cushions adorned
with Gibson girls or other pictures.
You may already be burdened with
one of these things and be unable to
discard it. In that case try to live
down the crime, but do not add to it.
Last Christmas day Clarissa showed
me with a grimace a present from an
old family friend. 1t was small plas-
ter bust of the worthy man, fat per
son with side whiskers. He had had
his bust modelled and large number
of them cast for Christmas presents to
his friends.
"And mother says we must keep
that object on our drawing room man
tel, or good Mr.. Worthy's feelings will
be hurt" observed my young lady, dis
painfully.
The next time / called the bust had
vanished, and l inquired about it..

around. HAS mother gone upstairs?

To Prevent Takinr Cold.


The little folks often catch cold be-
cause their sleeping room grows cold
before morning. A little knit wool
cap is a good thing for the head in
such cases. A child may catch cold
in winter by standing at the window
for a long time. There are draughts
about windows that viii give stronger
thrown about the toddler who likes to
look out the window will prevent all
the mischief. When taking the baby
out in his coach for an airing on a cold
day place a hot water bottle under the
blanket in the bottom of the coach.
Let the children able to run about
romp and play outdoors in cold wealth
er. But do not take them for long
slow walks.
If child has been exposed to a cold,
six or eight drops of spirits of CAM
phor on a lump of sugar or in a little
water, given as soon as he gets home,
will often prevent the cold from de-
veloping. Rich greasy diet and bad
ly ventilated sleeping room will give
child constant colds.
People with even slight catarrhal af
fections should conscientiously refrain
from kissing children on the mouth,
and this applies more risidly TO the
mother than anyone else, because she
is the one who kisses che child the
most, and will NOT readily inpart the
contagion il she has any about her.

NeedIeworlS Notes.

Warm and pretty dressing sacks are
knitted of soft worsted and bound with
silk.
Use your odd bits of Powered silk
and lace for a theater bodice to be
worn with a white skirt.
Handwork is well simulated by mo-
tits in embroidered cloth applied with
contrasting materials.
Dainty corset covers or petticoat bo-
dices, as they are now termed, have as
their sole ornament a row of feather
stitching at every seam, a colored rib
bon running through the castings at
the top and at the waist.
If one knows how to use knitting
needles, a knitted veil viii make a
most acceptable gift for some baby.
These are made about fourteen inches
long by ten wide. An open pattern is
chosen and silk or fine wool which
comes for the purpose. is employed.
