Remedy fer Poissn BY Ivy.

Three Ct four applications are sufficient
to effect cure. If the poison is on the

this astringent wash may be constantly
applied. =: :' .. .,s'.~,'l:

Wife Auctions i'm Virxinia.

The history of this commonwealth
commences with an auction sale-not,
however, in q store, but beneath the
green trees of jamestown, where prob
ably the most anxious and interested
crowd of auction habiteus ever known
in the history of the world were con-
gregated. In letter, still to be seen,
dated London, August 81, 1921, and
dir ected to worthy colonist of that
settlement, the writer begins by saying:
We send you a shipment, one
widow and eleven maids, for wives Of
the people Of Virginia. There hath
been especial care in the selection Of
them, for there hath not one of them
been received but upoon good commen-
dations. In case they cannot be pres
emily married we desire that they may
be put with. several householders that
have wives until they can be provided
with husbands.
But the writer of this epistle had lit
tie reason to fear that any Of the
''maidens faire'' would be left over.
The archives contain evidence to prove
that these first cargoes of young ladies'
we're put up at auction, and sold for
one hundred and twenty pounds of TO-
bacco each, and it was ordered that
this debt should have precedence Of all
others. The solitary Zone widow
went along with the others, for they
could not be particular in those days.
The good minister of the colony no
doubt had a busy time that day. He
did net mention any fees, nor did the
bridegrooms think Of rendering any.
All was JOY and gladness; no storms.
ahead, no uneasiness for the future, NO
inquisitive clerk to stand and say:
''Here's the license, fork over that one
dollar" Nothing of that sort. From
some of these couples the first families
of Virginia are descended, and well
may auctions be popular here.-Rtch-

The Reason why.

The editor of Arthur's Home Maya.
zine gives the following questions and
answers, which are pertinent to this
season of the year.
Why is frnit most unwholesome when
eaten on an empty stomach !!
Because it contains large amount
Of fixed air, which requires great power
to disengage and expel it before it be.
gins to digest.
Why is boiled or roast fruit more
wholesome than raw?
Because, in the process of boiling or
roasting, fruit parts with its fixed air,
and is thus rendered easy Of digestion.
Why are cherries recommended in
cases of scurvy, putrid fever and SINH
lar diseases ?
On account of their cooling and anti
septic properties. and because they cor
rect the condition of the blood and
other fluids Of the body when there is
any tendency, to putrescence at the
same. time, like all fresh fruits, they
possess mild aperient property, very
beneficial to persons Of bilious habit.
What effect have vegetable acids up
on the blood! . ..t
They cool and dilute the blood, and
generally, refresh the system. All
fruits contain acids and salt which ex-
ercise o cooling and invigorating influ-
ence. Apricots, peaches, apples, pears,
gooseberries, and, currants contain
melic acid. Lemons. raspberries,
grapes, and pine apples contain citric
acid, The skins Of grapes, plums, sloes,

. A Monkey In Trouble.

Sam. Wilcoxen has small menagerie
of monkeys, badgers, foxes, and the
like. He also has : large Newfoundland
dog, on whose back he sometimes places
one Of his pet monkeys when he is 60
ing for walk about the town-the
monkey fastened to the collar Of the
dog by string. As general thing
the monkey enjoys his ride; but We saw
him day or two ago when he would
willingly have traded himself of for
some less privileged specimen of his
species. His canine steed, being al
lowed to roam the streets at will,
saw another dog that he thought he
could whip, and forthwith went for
him like hairy hurricane. In mo-
ment both dogs were on their hind legs,
and going for each other like two sau-
sage.machines. This made times very
lively for the monkey, as the stranger
dog evidently considered him as part
and parcel of his antagonist. Such
walls Of despair as that monkey uttered,
and such hideous faces as he made, we
never heard or saw. He would climb
down the side of the dog he bestrode
opposite to where the war was going on,
and thence peep over occasionally
his jaws quivering, his visage dis
torted, and his eyes starting from their
sockets with terror. As the dogs were
constantly changing 81 :es,it made times
awtully lively with the monkey!
When he jumped to the ground the
string held him, and he found himself
trampled under the feet of both friend
and foe-and he was glad to get again
upon the back Of the steed and face the
battle. The poor monkey was in
worse fix than the boy who stood on the
burning deck, and, had not the dogs
been separated, he must soon have been
rendered a fit subject for the insane
asylum. As it was, he did not get
over examining the end Of his tail for
wounds for four hours after the battle.
Perhaps he had fears of hydrophobia!

A Rftof Royal G ossip.

The celebrated Vienna painter. Herr
Won Angely, has been stopping some
time in Berlin, and occupying himself
with taking the portraits Of several of
the imperial family. Hereceived many
marks of royal favor. and was invited
to the festivities and receptions at court
At one of the balls where he was pres
ent, q cavalier attached to the suite
Of the Crown Princess Victoria stepped

imperial highness wished to dance the
next waltz with him. Angely started
back at the intelligence, and: pointing

more especially with her imperial high
ness" "Please,'' said the csurtier,
smiling, ''to> follow me into the next
apartment, and there you can get the
soles Of your boots chalked by one Of
the lackeys." Angely obeyed the di-
rection Of her highness' messenger, and
after having taken: these measures to
insure his not falling, he stepped into
the saloon where the dancing was going
on, The crown princess was being con-

that SO many Of the really intelligent
class act as If in ignorance Of the necessi-
ty ard beneftof bathing. 1t seems al
most incredible, bat there are many
ladies most particular as to dress and
fashion, who almost wholly neglect this
matter. Some mothers think when
their children get beyond two or three
years Of age the frequent entire bath
can be dispensed with If some Of the
facts Of physiology we're well known
and understood, every one would per-
ceive that cleanliness Of the skin is one
Of the conditions of good health. We
learn that the skin has innumcrable
minste preparation tubes, opening on
the cuticle, and these openings are call
ed pores. These tubes are hollow, like
pipe-stem, lined with wonderfully
minute caplllaries, which are constant
ly exhaling the noxious and decayed
particles Of the body, just as the lungs
pour them out through the mouth and
nose. It seems clear that injury, more
or less, must ensue if this drainage for
the body becomes obstructed. It hap
pens when bathing is disregarded that
the lungs, kidneys, or bowels have more
than their apportion,hent Of work. If
these are strong and healthy they may
bear the tax with'little apparent injury,
but in most cases lowering Of the Vi:
tality and tone Of the system
ensues. Large bath tubs
are. pleasant and convenient.
but not indispensable to the proper
cleansing of the skin. 4 speedy spong-
ing Of the body in pure water, followed
by friction in pure air, is all that is
necessary. When disinclined to use
water, a thorough application Of the
aesh-brush to the whole person is an
admirable substitute; especially on re-
tirine; it relieves nervousness, equalizes
the circulation, and induces quiet sleep.
Mothers, above all, should see that
their children arc we'll bathed. If their
skins are kept active and healthy there
will not be half the danger from fever,
colds, and eruptive diseases. If your
little one is cross or troublesome, and
finds no occupation that pleases him,
try the effect Of bath. Sometimes it
is magical, and if tired he will 60 te
sleep, and awaken bright, cheerful and
happy. Do not, though, as we have
seen some parents do, plunge a child
into cold water when he screams and
shrinks from it, thinking you are doing
a good deed. Nature must be the
guide. If your child has a nervous
constitution, shock of this kind is
only exhausting and injurious.

An Important Work.

We last week briefly called the at
tention of our readers to the fact that
the enterprising and widely known
map-publishing firm of Everts, Stew
art s. Co., had secured an Office and
were about to commence the work of
getting up a new Historical, Illustrat-
ed Atlas of Portage County. They
have now full corps of surveyors,
viewers, artists &C., engaged in prepar-
ing material for the work. The sur
Yeyors are old and experienced civil
engineers, and our people can rely up
on the correctness of the surveys. We
have examined some of the aliases of
counties in the West, published by
this firm which are truly elegant;
which show that they understand
their business, and fully demonstrate
that this work will be one of
intrinsic merit and of practical value
to our people. The publishers stand
ready to do their.part-let us not fail
to do ours-in making the work full
and fair representative of our mater
ial interests and of our wealth and
prosperity. Our neighboring county
of Summit is taking hold of a similar
work, and there seems to be a spirit
of rivalry between the two companies
as TO which shall produce the most
attractive atlas. Don't let ours fail
for the lack of sufficient encourage
ment.

ANOTHER OLD CITIZEN Gone
Ariel P. Proctor died in Hiram this
county, April 18th, 1874 of congestion
of the lungs. He was born in New
Hampshire, July Both 1902, and moved
to Hiram in 1924, where he had lived
for period of fifty years. Two years
after moving to this county he was
united in marriage with Susan II.
Hinckley, who survives him, and by
whom he had six children, all of whom
were present at his funeral. He was
ian honest and upright citizen, and an
earnest worker in the cause of Christ,
having for some time previous to his
death been a faithful member of the
Baptist church. He was among the
last of the many early settlers IN that
part of Hiram township where he re-
sided. The large concourse of neigh
bors and citizens which attended his
funeral and followed his remains to
their last resting place, showed how
universally he was esteemed by all.

The crusaders are still on the war
path, but just now, instead of fighting
the great enemy, they have turned
their praver-shotted artillery upon
their own ranks, and are hurting at
His Honor, ,JudgeConant, most fearful
volleys of baek-handed blessings,
Last Monday afternoon a meeting
was held at the NJ. E. church at which
we are told the gentle christians went
for the Judge in the most bitter terms
expressing their indignation at his
course in imposing but moderate
fines upon those who haye plead gull
ty of violating the liquor law at the
present term of court, they thinking
that he ought to have hardened his
heart and imposed the utmost penalty
of The law instead of tempering JUS
tice with mercy. They declare that
the Judge, in his public declarations
had given them reason to hope and
believe their wishes in this respect
would be gratified. 1t has generally
been supposed that the crusaders aud
their hackers had entered upon theiI
great mission with a fixed determine
ton to demonstrate the efficacy o.
prayer and, with full confidence il
their influence with the Almighty
and asking no odds of courts and
juries, they were determined "to fight
it out on that line if it takes all sum.
mer." But it seems their conidenct
is somewhat weakening.
This attempt to intimidate the
court, and, by vituperation and abuse
to compel it to heed the behests o
these proscriptionists, is an extraor
binary proceeding, which applied tC
any other matter and at any othel
time than in the midst TO a fanatica
excitement, would receive the meritet
condemnation of all sober-miDded
peacable and upright citizens.
It is quite likely Judge Conant may
have given the crusaders TO under
stand that he would deal with thu
liquor sellers severely, but that will
| hardly warrant them in their course
seTwo wrongs do not make one right
is trite maxim. 1t is entirely unbe'
coming in judge upon the bench IL
take an active part in these demon
strations in reference to subjects and
persons that may be brought before
him for his impartial consideration
and judgment, and when he does so
the fact should as much disqualify
him from sitting to adjudge case, as
the formation and expression of an
opinion would disqualify man from
sitting upon jury.
If the Judge permits himself to be
influenced by these crusaders he might
as well abdicate the bench and surren-
der the power which the people have
entrusted to him into their kind care
and keeping.
