POISON IN FLOWERS.

TT is surprising, and indeed un-
 pleasant, to learn that many - beautiful flowers, fresh and at tractive. have concealed in them dead- ly poisons.
 In the Alps is plant called the laburnum, which puts forth large yell low blossoms so beautiful that they have been likened to a fountain of gold dancing in the sunlight. And yet. the leaves, flowers, roots, bark and seeds of this plant are exceeding ly poisonous. In fact, even the grass beneath and around the blossoms are so contaminated by the poison that cattle must be kept from eating it.
 And can you imagine blooms so beautiful us the narcissus hyacinth, jonquil. snowdrop and foxglove se creting deadly poisons? They do, however. and noxious liquors can be made from them that will kill hu- man life.
 Even the lady s-slipper, the quaint jack in the pulpit and the apparently innocent little buttorcup are likewise infected. Indeed, the latter is par. ticularly deadly In its poisonous se- cretions Cattle when grazing always pass it by for they seem to know by instinct that 1t will kill them. Peonies and larkspurs also contain toxic fluids.
