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few links that are in exist ence women go in for the game large ly and use the links with the men, but golf has not yet superseded tennis.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.
