WEED is FATAL TO MEMORY.
Mexican Plant That Sometimes Has Fa-
tai Effect on Humanity.

The government of Michoacan, at the
instance OF the Mexican physiological
commission has caused to be printed
and distributed throughout the rural dis
tricts circulars warning inhabitants
against species of the loco" weed
which grows wild in that state.
The plant is described in detail and
owners of ranches and haciendas are
asked 10 aid in eXterminatng it. A
pleasant perfume is emitted which has
power to cause loss of memory in hui
man beings who inhale it for any length
Of time. There have Deen instances
where persons affected by the scent of
the plant have wandered about aimless-
ly until exhausted. and have persisted in
out-of-the-way places. Persons rescued
within a short time usually regain CON
troll of their mental faculties in few
hours.
The plant was exhibited 10y the state
of Nlichoacan mt the st. Louis exposition,
and was given much attention by

of the reptile and the tip of its tail.
1t has long been regarded as a curious
coincidence that even the man not famed
for accuracy has had no trouble in blow
ing the head off a diamond back. In the
diamond-back country only one eXplana-

American Beef Abroad.

The increasing influence of the large
American meat firms ut Smithfield mar
ket is causing unrest among the sales
men.
Formerly cattle, live or chilled. were
sent over to be dealt with by Deptford
and Smithfield statesmen, but now few
of the most important American firms
one of which controls as many as 600
businesses in England-have initiated
policy of killing, cutting up and selling
their own cattle in this country.
The superintendent at Smithfield stat
ed that the policy of entire control now
adopted by the big American firms has
caused troublous times for some of the
statesmen.
The American beef sent to England
is all surplus produce he said, land is
exported to keep the prices up in the
states. The firms which send it do not
seem, to care much what price it com
