the opening of fall and winter millinery at
Miss NJ. E. j. Byrnes' on Orange street,
which began yesterday and continues to-day.
A very beautiful collection of trimmed hats

meeting anticipations formed upon the basis
of the success of former exhibits, and to-day,
with continued favorable weather. the array
of visitors will be equally large. The art of
serving each and every patron with a taste
full and highly becoming hat or bonnet seems
to have undisputed sway at the establish
ment, and is an requirement that the ladies
justly value highly. The present display at
Miss Byrnes' embraces an exquisite assort-
ment and awakens instant admiration and
appreciation from the most competent
judges. Particular attention is given to in
dividual orders, and the mourning depart
ment is, as usual, specially. The store is
richly decorated with choice plants and flow

REMEDY FOR Poison IvY-Dr. s. A.
Brown, United States Navy, states in the
Medical Record that he has found a specific
to the troublesome eruption produced by the
poison onk or poison ivy so common in our
woods and along old fences. This specific
he finds in bronine, which he has used with
unvaryiug success in at least forty cases. He
uses the drug dissolved in olive oil, cosmo-
liue or glycerine, in the strength of from ten
to twenty drops of bromine TO The ounce of
oil. and rubs the mixture gently on the af-
fected parts three or four times day. The
bromine is so volatile that the solution
should be renewed every twenty four hours
The eruption never extends after the first
thorough application, aud it promptly dis
appears within twenty -four hours if the ap-
plication is persisted in.-BOston Transcript.
