The berries Of the deadly nightshade
(Atropa belludonna) are such tempt
ing fruit for children that both they
and their parents ought to know the
plant and the terrible danger OF eating
its berries. These are the source from
which the poisons atropine and bella
donna are made.
The deadly nightshade grows from
three to five feet high on strong
branched purple colored stems. Its
pointed. oval leaves vary in size and
stand In pairs on short foot stalks.
The flowers are purple. pendent and
bell shaped. These appear In June and
July and give plnce to shining black
berries In August and September.
This poisonous herb Is of the same
family as the tomnto and potato

the Home OF Hot Devils. 1t is situated
In the midst of large lake Of boiling

and gases which arise from the sticky
mud form themselves into bubbles at

This il n game that Is almost too sim,

for Iarge party even of them for

Seated in u circle, every one Is set

leader proceeds somewhat after this

whose hands go down first must be

not wear feathers. But II no one is

however, and keep on wagging. This
Is because robins have feathers. If
any pair of hands have failed to salute
the feathers the owner of that pair
must become the new leader and strive
In turn to catch others.
From this description the principle OF
the game will easily be seen. 1t is n
good game to familiarize children With

A Footnote to History

Before we can all get something
like correct slant upon the military
policy of the United States, and upon
our foreign relations, most OF us have
got to get cured OF false notions which
our school histories and the portly
frock- coated Fourth of July orators
pumped into us when we were young
and impressionable. One such mis-
conception is that we defeated Great
Britain in the war of 1872. That war
lasted three years, and was, on land,
an almost unbroken succession OF de-
feats for our raw troops. AT sea-and
most American historians therefore
say more about the operations at sea
we took 800 prizes and covered our
selves with glory, for that was in the
days when ships from the ways OF
Maine, sailed by daredevil Yankees,
could overhaul or show their heels to
almost any European afloat. Andrew
Jackson's Battle Of New Orleans. our
one conspicuous land victory, WAS
fought after the inconclusive Treaty

cause the majority of Englishmen
