Sleepy Grass.
A curious grass is reported as having
been discovered in Lincoln county, N.
M., and it is said that it is not known
to exist anywhere else. According to
the lowa Homestead, its identity has not
been botanically determined, r.nd it is
only known by its popular name—sleepy
grass. The property from which the
name is derived it that of putting to
sleep animals that graze on it. It grows
in among other grasses and is eaten
readily by all kinds of stock. Horses
that eat it go to sleep on their feet,
while cattle and sheep usually lie down.
Its effects continue for an hour or more
and then pass off, leaving no injurious
effects.
Teams turned out to graze by travel
ers stopping for the noon hour often
fall asleep while being hitched up, and
the whip is necessary to arouse them.
They will then start off at a good pace,
but this gradually slackens, their heads
droop, and presently they come to a full
stop, sound asleep. If the animals are
allowed to sleep until they awaken nat
urally, they seem much refreshed, but
if urged forward during the period of
drowsiness they appear very weary,
even after the desire to sleep passes off.
It is not known what the sleep inducing
principle is. It may be something re
sembling the poppy, or it may be some
thing entirely different.
Athletic Sports of American Women.
Among athletic sports which arc pur
sued by American women may be enu
merated bowling, skating, snowshoeing
and tobogganing, for which many parts
of the country are in winter eminently
adapted. They are also especially ad
dicted to rowing and canoeing. The
women’s colleges, which are so numer
ous, and many of the largo private
boarding schools keep boats and encour
age both rowing and swimming.
It is stated that there are no less than
30,000 women in the United States who
ride bicycles. It is not the sport of the
richest women, who can afford to keep
norses, but is exceedingly popular with
those less favored by fortune. Cycling
is the principal form of outing with
a large class of both men and women.
Racing has even taken place among the
female cyclists, but only in a few in
stances and is generally discountenanc
ed by the women themselves. Golf has
not yet become a favorite amusement
in America, but it is said to bo taken
up as a fad among the ultra fashiona
bles. At the few links that are in exist
ence women go in for the game large
ly and use the links with the men, but
golf has not yet superseded tennis.
A Change of Voice.
A foreign scientific journal publishes
the results of some recent experiments
upon the vocal chords which are likely
to prove interesting to aspirants to lyric
honors. In the case of a baritone, who
was not content to be a baritone but
sighed for the higher emoluments of a
tenor, a course of inhalations, beginning
with benzoin, going on to caffeine and
chloroform ana concluding with cura
coa, proved perfectly successful. The
transformation was pronounced to be
complete.
The Bn.y Bee a Fraud.
The iconoclastic scientist claims to
have shattered another tradition. An
observer of the honeybee’s habits says
that this creature, long praised for its
industry and diligence, is a fraud in
these respects—that, as a matter of fact,
“the little busy bee” works but about
three hours a day and is a most thorough
going loafer for the rest of the time.
Must we give up forever the happy
phrase, “The busy bee?” Wetrust not.
Malarial Poison
Results from atmospheric conditions, unclean
premises, Imperfect ventilation and more fre
quently from the deadly SEWER OAS. A gen
eral rundown and impoverished condition of
the blood ensues, and if not corrected, Catarrh,
Bronchitis, and even Consumption may be the
result. S. S. S. promptly corrects all these
evil effects. '
Mr. J. A. Klee, Ottawa. Kan., writes: For three
years I was troubled with Malaria, which caused
mv appetite to fall, and I was so reduced in
flesh, that life lost Its charms. I tried mercur
ial and potash remedies, but could get no relief. I
then decided to try « A few bottles of
this wonderful medicine mode a
complete and per- manent cure, and
I now enjoy better health than ever.
