Ivx-Poisoning Remedies.

The best treatment for ivy-poisoAing
is to wash the place affected, as soon as
the poisoning has been discovered, in
strong soap-suds or saleratus water. OF
course, after the Inflammation begins to
show itself, some remedies must be APP
piled which viii check and control the
eruption and swelling. The common
household remedy is wild hazel, which
can be procured at any druggists, in
small bottles. This is very good for
ordinary cases, but it has tendency to
relieve the itching and smarting sensa-
ton more than to check the speed and
growth of the Inflammation. Probably
one of the best things is to procure
some common black wash at drug
store and use it as lotion twice day
for half an hour at time. Between
these times keep the poisoned surface
covered with cold water dressings or
ointments of some soft nature.

BIZ the use Of the camera, with pow
erful telescopes. a new and ver- large
crater has been shown upon the moons
surface.
a GREASY" sky, which is a dull,
dirty gray, resembling lead snirched
with a creased cloth, is ominous Of bad
weather.
BESIDES the large planets which re-
volve about the sun. over two hundred
and fifty others have been discovered
and catalogued. and science IS daily
adding to this list.
Lone white steamers reaching from
the horizon to the zenith, resembling
white rockets and known as mares
tails, indicate a coming wind, and they
reach up from the quarter whence it is
rising.
A DISCOVERY more curious than any
other yet made with the Lick telescope
is the recent one Of new moon. Since
the first hint Of the discovery many OBJ
servations have been made, al of
which tend TO confirm the original inn
preston, to wit: That this par. liar
satellite Of Jupiter is double-a dot of
a moon revolving around the main
moon.
