sleeply Grass of Now Mexicu

While making a trip through the
southwestern part of New Mexico
Herbert w. Wolcott, of Alamogordo,
n. NJ, found a grass from which he
believes a narcotic may be extracted
which will take the place of those
now known to medicine.
THE grass is known as Sleepy
grass to the natives OF New Mexico
near the Apache reservation" said
Mr.. Wolcott. Cattle and horses will
eat II the first time they see 1t. 1t
makes them fall to the ground in
their tracks and lie in state of coma
for two days. When they wake up
they have no i'll effects from the OPT
ate. But they will never eat It
again; III fact. they will run away II
1t is offered to them.
This sleepy grass is not to be
confused with the loco weed. The
grass is real grass, not unlike the
Kentucky blue grass in appearance.
The loco weed is plant and bears a
Hover. Horses and cattle become
loco fiends and are worthless after
tasting the deadly stun. Kansas

BAGGING AT THE KNEE.
Mems Trousers Not the Only Gar
ments Thus to Get Out of Shane.

at may have been often printed in
the fashion news, but that ! never
see, and so," said clipper brother
Claude, this is spang fresh news to
me, that the skirt of sisters new suit
is bagging at the knee.
THAT mems trousers bag in that
way is notorious, in fact baggy trou-
sers have long been a subject for the
jokesmith to exercise his wits upon,
as they have long been to their wear
ers a source of grief. No man likes
to have his trousers bag at the knee,
and there have been told stories of
men particular about their apparel
who when in their finest attire de-
clined to sit down for fear they'd get
their trousers out of shape there, and
it certainly is common thing to see
men, on sitting, hitch their trouser
legs up little, to take the bagging
strain off the part that commonly
comes over the knee and to lessen the
bagsing.
SO men have always had trouble
with their trousers in this way, but
that women could have trouble of
such sort with their skirts had nev-
er dreamed, for were not skirts so
voluminous that their folds could be
shifted and arranged at will, to pre-
vent their getting out of shape? Well,
It seems that the close fitting skirt of
the present day is so scant that it can
not be thus loosely disposed or shift
ed about, one must sit in it as it is,
and thus woman comes to have a
new experience and to get some faint
glimmer of one of the most trying
troubles of men.
1T makes me smile to hear sister
say to mother that the skirt of her
new spring suit has already begun to
bag at the knee. New York Sun.

The Usefulness OF Tears.

The psychological aspect of tears
has interested thinkers for ages.
That crying brings about certain
mental crisis now and then is de-
flnitely asserted and, in all probabili-
ty, very true. Every woman knows
hatnothingrelieves her feelings more
readily or lifts a strain from her
mind more certainly than a good
weep on occasions.
The physical aspect or tears, how
ever, has never been considered very
seriously by scientific investigators
until these latter days, when all our
lives center around these pestiferous
things we call germs. Everything
about us seems fashioned for one of
two purposes-either to attract or
repel germs. Tears are said to be
great germ killers.
Wherefore, if the baby cries, for
instance, be not distressed. 1t is
good for the baby to cry; it rids the
little thing of millions of bacteria.

bawls with all the vigor of an Offend

nitude of scope and brilliance Of de-
sign any celebration ever held in New
York. the Hudson-Fulton celebration
will begin on Saturday, September
25, and close on Saturday, October 8.
The commission having in charge the
details of the celebration has issued
an official circular announcing the
schedule of events for the first time.
The interest shown by foreign ma
tions, especially England, Germany,
France and Holland, in the successful
outcome of the celebration was 4
source of great encouragement to the
commission in the early days of its
labors. The countries named, not
to speak of others in South America
and the Orient, will be represented
in the big naval parade on September
25 by from one to five war ships. all

United States war ships then in the
harbor will join in the naval pageant.
While from time to time fragment
airy items bearing upon the celebra-
ton have been published, they lacked
the authoritative stamp of the COM
mission. The official schedule now is
at hand, and it is an imposing array
of events. The celebration will begin
with a rendezvous of all foreign and
American vessels in the harbor, dip
ping of flags, firing of salutes and
other evidences of the entent cordiale
existing between the United States

follow the first naval parade, during
which the foreign war ships will be

a reception of officials and other not

brilliancy In and about Manhattan
nightly during the celebration. Mar
iners say lesser illuminations have
been seen from the decks OF ships one

safe to say that many an incoming
