large poison ivy zine on H. aud the chopper
had cut the large part Of the vice off, aud
left the small clingers on the tree.
The young man that was with me was
poisoned in his leg, where he had ridden
on the log. Ills legs swelled up so he
could not sit or stand a doctor was call
ed, who said that it would takc Mt least
three weeks 10 get him out of bed. Ny
own hands and wrists were so bad could
not work. Some one proposed to me TO get
the leaves Of tae plant known to me as tho
poison nightshade (our correspondent doubt

in new milk to poultice just stiff enough
to stay on the parts, aud bind it on, renew

star on the brow of the night grows pale,

Curious Custom The causes for which
a Mahomeian woman may demand divorce
are clearly and broadly laid down in the
Koran, and her evidence is sufficient, because
the Mnhometan law supposes that woman
must be violently aggrieved before the mod
esty Of her sex will allow her to appear in
public with such application. So careful
IS this law t. spare her feelings, that she j.
not even required 70 recount her injuries,
unless Of her own free will; all she has to
DO is to place her slipper reverse1-that Is,
with the sole upward-before the cldi, and
the case is finished the divorce is granted
without further inquiry
