COASTWISE STE.fsrERs
Poisoned by noneysuekle.

One Of the most favorite and beauti.
full of our flowers Is the common
honeysuckle. The Lancet mentions a
case occurring In the practice of DR..
Engh OF volden, in which a little boy
2 years old was poisoned by its fow-
ers.
The child after being in the garden
playing with the flowers became tired
and drowsy and then complained OF
thirst. Our contemporary describes
the symptoms that followed and adds
that the boy made a good recovery
but was peevish ana inert for some
days. Various kinds of honeysuckIo
have been used incidentally as diure-
tics and diaphoretics, and II Is well
that IL should be known that some OF
the varieties at all events are far from
harmless. The flowers appear to be
specially dangerous when freshly
picked.-Westminster Gazette.

Custom DEGREES that a gold coin,

date of the year when the vessel is
completed, a fact well known to col
lectors, who keep an eye on ships
that are likely to be the depository Of
numismatic prizes.

A very simple device is employed
on the tramways of Zurich, Switzer-
land, to prevent the grinding Of the
wheels and the shaking of the cars
passing round curves. Since it is not
practicable in public street to raise
the outer rail on curves, as is done on
railroads, similar effect is produced
by giving to the exterior tramway
rail on curves very shallow groove.
The consequence is that the outer
wheels of the tramcars passing round
curve run on their fianges, and are
thus raised relatively to the inner
wheels. This device disposes eff
fectively of the disagreeable grind
Ing and the shaking of the cars, to
the great cCmfort of the passengers.
