OLEANDERS

The Lowell Courier Citizen man wants to know whatever became of the old-fashioned oleander, which used to stand tin a tub at the door of Aunt Sophrania's house, and at the door of pretty much every other aunt's house. "The tubs" says Lowell, were always painted a gay color with the hoops painted sombrely. There is pos sihility that the oleanders proved as dangerously poisonous as they credit ed with being. and so were done away with" To be sure, the oleanders are gone. They yielded, the Nomad sup poses, to fashion rather than to pre- judice. Mostly the rubber plant has taken their place, though the rubber plant is stupid and vulgar compared with a good oleander. It is true that the oleander. or more particularly its blossoms. has poisonous properties; but though the Nomad as a boy was well accustomed to the plant and its flowers. he never personally heard of a case of poisoning in connection with it. There were beautiful thickets of oleander on the road from Daiquiri to Santiago our soldiers were there in 1898, but no cases of poisoning were reported, though the men slept in the jungles.
 Fashion in plans is really a terrible thing. It has afflicted us with great over production of rubber plants in doors and hydrangeas out-of- doors. Just now our backwards are under the
