A few yoarg ngo there was In the Royal Botanical Gardens nt Kow, a specimen of probably the most poisonous plant ever in troduced into England. It was the Jutro pha urens, the properticB of which are ro noxious that its possession is positively langorousv The ex-curator of the gardous was one day reaching over it, when its fino, bristly stings touched his wrist. The first Kcnsation which be felt was a numbness and swelling of the lips ; the action of the poison was on the heart, circulation'was fttopped, and he soon fell, unconscious ; the last thing he remombercd, being cries of, "Run for the doctor." Either the doctor was skilful, or the dose of poison injected not quito, though noaily enough to cause doath ; but afterwards the young gardoner, in whose bouse the plant was placed, got it thrust into a corner, and would! not como within arm's length of it. He watered the offender with a pot having an 'extremely Jong spout. In a short time however, the plant disappeared altogether, andjanotbor specimen of the genius Jatropha, which was afterwards introduced, vanished in the like mysterious manuor. It was presumed that the attendants were secretly determined that such plants should not bo retainod in the houses, to cause the possibility of an accident such as that which happened to thoir curator. 27k Garden. A Beautiful Experiment. The following beautiful chemical exper iraent may be easily performed by a lady to the great astonishment of a circle at her tea party : Take two or throe loavos of red cabbage, cut them into small bits, put them into a basin, and pour a pint of boil ing water on them ; let it stand an hour ; then pour it oft into a decanter. It will bo a fine blue color. Thou take four wine glasses ; into one put six drops of strong vinegar ; into another six drops of solution of soda ; into the third a strong solution of alum, and let the fourth remain empty, The glasses may be prepared sometime bofore, and the few drops of colorless liquid that has beeu placed in them will not be noticed. ' Fill up the glasses from the decanter, and the liquid poured into tho glass containing the acid, will become a beautiful red ; the glass containing tho soda will become a fine green ; that poured into the empty one will revaln unchanged By adding a little vinegar to the green it will immediately change to red, and on add ing a little solution of soda to tho red it will assume a fine green, thus showing tho action of acids and alkalies on vegetable hues. Cough Syrup. Take Orleans molasses one pint, "West India rum one pint, benzoic acid two drachms, tincture of lobolia one ounce, tincture of chrysosplenium Amertcanutu, or water-capet, two ounces. Mix. Dose: a teaspoon f'ul every two or tbreo hours. This syrup is an invaluable remedy for coughs, colds, bronchitis and incipient con sumption. It can be used by children and adults with perfect safety, and is the bost cough syrup known. Many cases of bronchitis and early -consumption bave been cured by it. It improves tho appe tite, strengthens the lungs and vigor and tone to the whole system. Several cases who had tried Jayue's Expectorant, Dr Bchenck's remedies and many patent nos trums, have bben entirely cured by this rem edy. In these cases, the patient took a tablespoonful five or six timos a day. Iroulng Shirt Fronts. In a first-class laundry starch is' made in the usual manner ; to a pail of starch a whole sperm candle Is used. When the linen is dry, it is dipped In the cold starch and ironed in the ordinary way ; than it is dampened with a cloth, and the polishing iron pressed over it. This Is an ordinary smoothing-iron, ground off so that the edges are all rounding. To this last man ipulation the linon is indebted for the pe culiar laundry gloss which all admire so much, but which many housekeepers have vainly striven to leave upon the wristbands and bosoms of their husband's shirts. To Tan Small Skins Willi the Hair on. Wash them in cold suds, then dissolve pulverized saltpetre and alum in hot water, add cold water and soak the skins in it all night ; hang them over a pole to drain ; when dry sprinkle with powdered saltpetre and alum ; fold the flesh sides togcthor,and lay them whore they will not freeze, turn every day till dry, then Bcrape the flesh side with a blunt knifo, and rub with pumice stone and the hand. tWTo wash hair bruthes, never use ap. Take a piece of soda, dissolve in warm water, stand the brush in it, making sure that the water only covers the bristles. It will almost instantly become white and clean. Place it in the airi dry, with the bristles downward, and it will be as firm as a new brush. THE NEW DISCOVERY In Chemical snd Medical fwlimos. Dr. E. F.
