There's many a trouble

Did we not IeheaTse it,
And tenderly nurse it,
And give 1t prominent place IN the heart.

How welcome the seeming

Whether ones wealthy or whether ones poori
Eyes bright as q berry,
Cheeks red as a cherry,
The groan and the curse and the heartache car

Poison Sumach.

There are at least eight species of
sumach: % Smooth, CD Staghorn, (3)
Mountain, ca Sweet, 90 Venetian, 90
Poison Ivy, CD Poison Oak, (S) Poison
Sumach. The general scientific name
is Rhus, to which is added, for each, a
specific scientific name. AS only the
last three are poisonous, we do not need
to speak further of the others.
Poison ivy (Rhus radicans) is vine
from five to forty feet high, and having
strong fibers with which it attaches
itself to walls and trees. Ii is liable to
be mistaken for our woodine American
IVY. But while the latter has five
leaflets and watery juice, the former
has only three leaflets and a milky
juice.
Poison oak (Rhus toxicodendron) is q
shrub from one to three feet high.
This, too, has a milky juice, with its
leaves arranged in threes. The leaves
are also downy on the under side and
deeply notched, like the oak. The
flowers are small, yellowish-green, and
arranged in spikes. The berry is oval
and pale-brown.
Poison sumach (Rhus venenata) is
also known by the names of dogwood,
varnish-tree, swamp sumach, poison
ash and poison elder Some also apply
the name poison sumach to poison oak.
1t grows from ten to fifteen feet high.
1t is often mistaken for true elder
But while the latter has flat clusters of
white flowers and black berries, the
former has long clusters of greenish
flowers and greenish-yellow berries. 1t
also differs from common sumach by
having leaves with edges perfectly
smooth, while the leaves of the other
scrrated, or saw-like.-Youths Conn

Woman Silent for Eighteen Years.

\ well-authenticated instance has APP

who found footprints deeply imprinted

low up the tootmarks which awakened
his curiosity for nearly three years.
when a companion. who was with him
upon an expedition, suddenly came up
on the object of their search. The
woman had made for herself small
circular inclosure of brushwood, with
an opening on one side, and she was
clothed in garment made of the skins
of a species of duck indigenous to the
island. Her food during her eighteen
years of captivity, if her statements are
reliable, was sort of wild cabbage and
the roots she found close at hand.
When rescued she could not express
herself in any of the Indian dialects,
and the supposition was that she be-
longed to a Northern tribe. She was
still pleasing in expression, although
