Remedy for Poison Oak.

came across the following very use-
full recipe in the Medical Record few
days since, and give it for the benefit Of
many who know what dreadful thing
it is to get poison oak on yor. The spe-
,cific for this poison has been found to be
bromide. DR.. s. A. Brown, of the Uni
ted States Navy, states that he used it in
at least forty cases with unvarying sue
cess. Take from ten TO twenty drops OF
bromide toan ounce Of olive oil, cosmo-
line or glycerinc. Rub tho mixture
gently on ethe affected parts three or
four times day. The bromide is so
volatile that the solution should bo re-
newcd every ,twenty-iour hours. Tho
eruption never extends after tho first
twenty-four hours, and promptly disap.
pears within twenty-four hours il the
application is persisted in. 5.

grades who look mp to him with awe.
The chef Of n leading hotel in New
York lately admitted a reporter to his
inner sanctum, and there contided to
him the great secret of the cooking arf. !.

ATTACKING the civil Service Law.

Secretary Chandler is not the only Cabi-
net officer who is opposed 70 the civil ser
vice law. The secretary Of the Interior,
Mr.. Teller. il very emphatic in condemn
Ing it. He sees no merit in il and loses
no opportunity 70 point ont its defects.
There are. he saws, about 1G) applicants
for places in his department who have
uass4d the examination required By the
civil service rules. The questions they
answered. Mr. Teller says are such as al
most anv IJ-vear0Id school boy is familiar
with. and have 10 practical bearing upon
the duties that are required u be perform
cd. out Of the entire 100 be does not ex-
pect % a geta thoroughly competent clerk.
The trouble with the applicants who
reach the departments through the Civil
Service Commission is that they lack the
technical knowledge required Of them,
and also the ability 70 deal with men,.
This is what Mr.. Teller says. He IS con-
WINGED that the commission must be abol-
Isbed or the public service must suffer.
He can see no reason for expending $780,
900 a year in salaries, printing and travel
fng expenses to sustain a commission that
INJURIES the public service. Mr.. Teller
draws a very gloomy picture Of the Civil
service Commissions work. 1t Is pic
ture that is calculated TO make the civil
service law a dead letter. If other Cabi-
net officers should join Mr. Chandler and
Mr.. Teller in condemning the practical
workings Of the law it would be difficult
to get an appropriation to continue
the commission long enough TO give it a
fair trial. There does not appear 10 be
any good reason why the same class Of
men. or a class equally as good, should
not get into government places through
the commission as through members Of
| Congress who controlled the patronage
before the civil service law was passed.
| Mr.. Teller doubtless finds it a hardship
not to be able to give places to his friends
and the friends Of Congressman. lie is
shorn Of his power. as it were, and doesn't
like the new condition Of things. 1t is
probable that before the Appropriation
Committee Will seriously think Of refus-
ing to appropriate for the expenses of the
| Civil Service Commission they will make
diligent inquiries to satisfy themselves
that the complaints respecting the civil
service law are well founded.
