DANGER IN POISON IVY
Uavr to Know the Plant Simple
Hemedien If Affected by It
If one knows how the Rhus toxico
dendron that Is the scientific uame
for poisonous Ivy looks said a man
of the woods he can avoid it with
ease It Is sometimes a low shrub
about a foot high and It Is also a
graceful vine with stout hairy stems
This vine sends out horizontal branch
es The bush and the vine do not look
alike but both have coarse toothed
oval poluted leaves These are alwayp
three In a group and the plant also
bears small greenish white berries
Poison oat otherwise Rhus radicaus
and poison sumac or Rhus viuenta
are other plants to be avoided by vis
itors to the woods The sumac has
groups of four leaflets oval pointed in
form arranged on a tapering stem It
differs from the real sumac in so far
that Its leaflets incline upward In
the autumn the foliage is a brilliant
scarlet The little berries look like
grayish white grapes
A good antidote for ivy poisoning In
Its first stages Is a solution of ordinary
baking soda A bottle containing a
pint of water and a heaping teaspoou
ful of baking soda Is carried by many
persons who take walks in the woods
for while some people may handle the
poison vines without danger others
are poisoned if they pass within twelve
feet of them New York Tribune
She Pitied IIIh Dintrcss
An artist who was making a sketch
ing tour through a picturesque region
of Connecticut chanced one day on a
barn so alluring to his eye that he sat
down ou a stone wall and went to work
at once
He soon became conscious that lie
had two interested spectators in the
persons of the farmer and his wife
Who had come to the door of the house
to watch him
The artist by and by discovered that
he had lost or mislaid his rubber eras
er and as he wished to correct a slight
error in the sketch he went up to the
door and asked the farmers wife if he
might have a small piece of dry bread
This as every artist knows makes a
good eraser
The farmers wife looked at him with
an expression of pity not unmixed with
surprise
Dry bread she repeated Well I
guess you wont have to put up with
anydry bread from me young man
You come right into the kitchen with
me and Ill give you a thick slice of
bread with butter on it
Now dont say a word she contin
ued raising her hand to ward off his
expostulation I dont care how you
came to this state nor anything about
It All 1 know is youre hungry and
thats enough for me You shall have a
good dinner
The Ordeal of Boiling OU
In Ceylon the system of witch find
ing is both unique and terrible Some
oil from newly gathered king cocoanuts
is manufactured by one of the friends
of the complainant This is poured into
a primitive stone vessel and heated to
the boiling point Each of the suspect
ed witches is then brought upon the
scene and is then and there compelled
to dip three fingers of the right hand
into the seething caldron each having
a right under her ideas of justice to
throw the oil remaining upon her fin
gers into the face of the complainant
who stands near by
While this ordeal Is being undergone
a single exclamation of pain on the part
of the suspected person Is constructed
to be an admission of guilt If no such
exclamation is made the innocence of
the accused is supposed to be estab
lished It is said that every tenth per
son on the island of Ceylon has maimed
fingers as a result of having met the
ordeal of boiling oil
STrixaminKT Sailor Fusliion
It was a redheaded boy from across
the tracks on his good behavior at the
swimming hole above the dam that I
first saw swim hand over hand or
sailor fashion as we called it right
ly or wrongly I know not I can hear
now the crisp staccato little smack his
hand gave the water as he reached for
ward
It has ever since been my envy and
despair It is so knowing so sporty
I class it with being able to wear a
pink barred shirt front with a dia
mond cluster pin in it with being gen
uinely fond of horse racing with being
a first class poker player with being
delighted with the company of actors
what wouldnt I give if I could be like
that My life has been a sad one but
I might find some comfort in it yet if I
could only get that natty little spat on
the water when I lunge forward swim
