THK HUMDLi: riUTTDltCUP.
The buttercup, that golden currency
of babyhood, also belongs to a class
tho ranunculoceae, or crow-foot fam
ily which contain a powerful Irri
tant poison, capablo of blistering the
hands of thoso who gather It. This Is
1 especially true of tho varieties grow
ing In wet places. In Ihirope, where
begging la a fine art, members of that
profession uso the ranunculus to pro
duce ulcers on their feet and legs, for
the purpose of exciting compassion.
Cattle men sometimes use the use ot
tho ranunculus to brand their cattle,
In place of tho hot Iron. Cattle will
not eat theso plants, except In a dry
state mixed with hay, when tho vola
tile ncrld quality dlsappeais. To tho
same family belong tho larkspuis, the
hellebores nnd tho dellcnto wood ane
mone, or wind flower, that decks our
woods early In spring. Ilut tho black
sheep of this extensive family Is the
uconltum, wolf's bane, monk's hood,
etc etc , ns It la variously called.
This plant was once In every garden,
but Is now seldom seen, probably be
l (auBo Its sombre beauty Is no offsot
1 to Its deadly qualities. In old-tlmo
gardens It grew freely among the
egotaules, and Its loots havo fre
quently been served as horse radish,
Its foliage as parsley, with gtuosomo
results
The poppy family Is too woll known
as the source of opium to require men
tion; yet It Is well to bear In mind that
Its seeds nre unwholesome and Us
juices dangerous
for the Creditors,
A moie threatening danger II s In th
solid family. Its pleasant suiiiiv -s 's
due to the presence of oxalic acid, and
If eaten In huge quantities by childieii,

polionous plant no other than the
"poison hemlock." believed to be the
Identical plant which sealed th elo

abundance of this plant, which Is
equally at home In city and countty,
Its charming llowerets throwing u
lace-llko mnntle over evoiy vacant lot,
anil attracting chlldien and adult alike,
It Is well to know that It is poison In
coiy part, and should be caiefully
handled when used for decorative pur
poses. The water hemlock, nnother
and still mote dangerous ued s, Is
eageily eaten by cattle, with fatal le

COCKLI3 IX Till: WHEAT.
Who, freeing the dainty corncockle,
that "pretty pink llnwor that grows In
the wheat," would dream of Its capac
ity for mischief? Yet It is an especiallv
dangerous plant, both to man and
licMHt. The seeds ate moie poIaonous
than the other parts of the plant, and
when giound with tho wheat In which
they giow are detrimental to the con
sumer. Machlneiy lemovcs theso seed
to a ceitain degiee The quantity re
malnlng determines the quality of tho
Hour. It.s piesenco may be de'tectt d by
the small black .scales of the giound
seed essds. Somo low giades of Hour
contain as high ns thlity to foity per
cent, of cockle seed, tendering It unfit
for consumption. It Is unpleasant to
think how much of this deleterious
siibtaneo finds Its way Into the human
stomach by means of the tempting
crackers, wafers, etc., which adotn the
grocery shelves. Many cases of whole,
sale poisoning of domestic animals
from eating "screenings," which were
nntutally composed largely of cocklo
seed, are reported.
The Mininc family comprises a trio
or pesuieni teiiows, the poison ivy, tho
poison oak and tho poison sumac.
Tin: DANGnnors vines.
It Is Impoitant that every ono
should bo able to iccognlo nt a
Rlanco these unpleasant outciopplngs
of natuie's bad humors. The Ivy may
easily be distinguished fiom Its harm
less i dative, the Virginia creeper,
which It otherwise closely resembles
by Its liming three leaflets In a group,
Instead of live. Tho poison oak has
also tluee leaflets, but of oval shape,
only slightly Iobod. Hoth aie creep
i'is. The sumac Is a shrub, frequent
ing swamps and damp places. Its
pinnate leaf resembles those of Its
humbler rdatlvo by the wayside, but
Its (lowers are hot no In loose, (Hoop
ing lacemes. All three of ths3 pro
rtuco the same eect on tho human skin,
but the first named, tho poison Ivy
Minis ladicans), Is tho most to be
dieaded and tho most widely known.
It is only recently that tho Irritating
principle has been dlscovoied to bo a
non-volatile oil found In all parts of
the plant It cannt ho washed oft with
wntei. Tho remedy is a rather weak
alcoholic solution of sugar of lead,
externally applied.
This plant Is considered tho most
obnoxious In tho entlro list, nnd Its ex
termination by every possible means
recommended
Other noxious plants to be carefully
handled and used with discretion nre
tho poko weed, all the laurels, tho
Jlmsori weed, the spurge family, and
others less common, and, therefore,
less to bo dreaded. Most of these, It
Is well to know, nro not daugeious
to tho mere touch, and It Is sufllelent
for tho unlearned In plant lore to make
a rule not to Inhalo excessively, or put
to tho lips, any unknown plnnt, in ad
dition to those mentioned above,
