SOME of the early nations attained a
knowledge of science and skill in art
which were lost in the subsequent ages.
Wendell Phillips's famous lecture on
"The Lost Arts ought to make us
modest, and less inclined to boast of our
own superiority. In recent lecture
before the Geographical Society, Judge
DAILY paid a high tribute to the knowl-
edge of the old Babylonians. They
were well acquainted with the heavens,
catalogued the stars, and named the
consultations. They traced the SUMS
course through the twelve signs of the
Zodiac, and divided time into weeks,
months and years.
They speculated on the connections of
the weather with the changes of the
heavenly bodies, and thought the phases
of the moon had subtle influence.
They noted the spots on the sun, and
seemed to have possessed telescopes, as

Driving with her daughter Stephanie

Poison Ivy

THE poison ivy is very poisonous to
some persons; they are poisoned by not
touching it at all, or even it is said pass
ing near it, while others may handle it
without being afflicted by the contact in
the least. The poisonous property of
the plant is owing to volatile acid; its
effect is an acute Inflammation of the
skin, often accompanied by great
swelling. The effects remain sometimes
for months, before the poison is COM
pletely removed from the system. The
usual remedies are cooling purgatives
and an external application of lead wa
ter. An application of a solution of
hops has been known to prove an effec-
tual remedy when all other remedies
failed. The plant has sometimes been
mistaken for Virginia creeper, to which
it bears no slight resemblance. The
distinguishing feature is, that the poison
ivy has leaves of three leaflets; whereas
the Virginia creepers' leaves have five
leaflets. Persons have been poisoned by
installing the poisonous for the harm
less species. This plant is of the genus
Rh,ts or sumach. There is also an up
right plant that is poisonous.--FarnsT's

she became thoroughly aroused, she
found she was sitting up in an open

the blood running quickly from a deep
cut,in her ring-fnger. The grave was

functions seem to be arrested while the

the cut given to her finger by the rufian
