shakespeare's Slips.

Slips will happen even with the
best of authors. Shakespeare him
self was not exempt from error. For
instance, he writes in Julius Gaze
sar" of striking clocks, and among
the furniture of Cleopatra's palace
mentions a billiard table. In an
other of his plays one of the char
acters speaks of printing press 200
years before the printers art was
known. And in still another he
writes of King John and his barons
fighting with cannon many years
before these engines of war were in
vented.

WEEDS OF MADNESS.
The odor of One Mexican Plant Causes
Temporary Insanity.


The marihuana weed of Mexico
is both seductive and maddening.
When much INDUCED in the smok-
ing of the dry leaves of the plant
causes insanity.
1t is said that Immediately after
the first three or four drafts the
smokers feel a slight headache;
then they see everything moving
around them and finally lose con-
troll of their mental faculties. They
imagine they see herds of tigers,
lions, devils and monsters coming
to attack them. NAry are not
afraid, but feel themselves brave
and strong enough to fight and an
initiate any number of enemies.
The victim of the weed begins
to fight and to imagine that he is
killing monsters. But these are
imaginary beings whom he cannot
kill, and they inspire fear until the
smoker is panic stricken and starts
to run.
People who become addicted to
smoking rnarihuana finally lose
their mrnds and never recover.
There are many other plants in
Mexico which arc dangerous, among
them being the tolvache, a kind Of
loco weed. The seeds of this plant
boiled and drunk as tea will make
person insane for life, it is as
serted. Among some people of
Mexico it is believed that Carlotta,
empress of Mexico, lost her mind
because she was given tolvache in a
refreshmsnt. Empress Carlotta was
the wife of Emperor Macmillan,
who was shot in Queretaro. She lost
her mind immediately after her re-
turn to Europe from Mexico.
There is in the state of Michoa-
can another plant the effects of
which upon the human organism
are very curious. The plant grows
wild in some parts of Michoacan,
and natives observed that whenever
they traversed field where there
were many of these plants they lost
all notion of direction, being unable
to reach the place to which they
we're bound. An investigation was
made, and it was found that the
odor of the plant in question made
temporarily insane persons and ami
mails. The insanity caused by the
odor of the plant is only momentary,
and persons do not lose control of
themselves. They simply lose mem
DRY of everything, of even what hap
pened a few minutes before, it is
said. 1t takes from three to four
hours for a person affected by the
odor of the plant to recover fully.
Another curious plant is the weed
called de las carreras. When
person drinks brew of the leaves
or seeds of the plant he feels an
impulse to run until he drops ex-
hausted.-New York Sun.

Punctuation,

In the early days of their craft
compositors had no need to worry
about quotation marks. Punctuation
was then of the simplest, consisting
only of an oblique line and fall
stop. The first book to introduce
the colon and notes of interrogation
and exclamation appears to have
been a Latantius, printed at mon
astery near Rome in 1865. Title
pages were also unknown in those
early days. The books started
straight off with "Here beginneth,"
no authors or publishers name be-
ing prefxed. This causes much diff
fculty in attributing early work to
the proper sources
