Poison-Ivy and Sumach.

Four things need to be committed to
memory to insure safety against our poison
ivy and sumachs:
First The three leaved ivy is dangerous.
Second. The five e-leaved is harmless.
Third. The poison sumachs have white
berries.
Fourth. No red-berried sumach is
poisonous.
Both the poison-ivy and poison-sumach,
though unlike in appearance of foliage,
have similar white berries growing in small
slender clusters from the axis of the
leaves. In all other sumachs the berries
are red and in close punches at the end of
the branches, and far from being dan
gerous, yield a frosty-looking acid which is
most agreeable to the taste, and whole
some withal With these simple precepts
fixed in the mind, no one need fear the
dangers of the thickets. Nor need any one
repeat the hazardous exploit of two young
ladies whom | know, one of whom, as q
committee on church decoration in a
country town, brought her arms full OF the
scarlet autumn branches Of the venomous
sumach; while the other once seat the
wliter really beautiful group of carefully
arranged rare grasses and moses generous
" decked with the white berries of the
poison-ivy. Both of these rash maidens, /
beIive, paid the severe penalty oil their
botanical innocence.
