Look Out for Poison Ivy.

During the summer season rhus toxi- eodendron (poison ivy) begins to thrive, dnd there are many persons who will take an interest in the statement that an immunity against this plant can be se- cured. At least it has been done in one instance, related by Dr. John Aulde in the New York Medical Journal He says that Dr. George Kirkpatrick, of La Harpe. Ill.,. took by mistake good swal- low of the tincture, and in order to coun- ieract the effect of the poison large doses of olive oil were administered. and along with it about 10 grains of carbonate of sodium. No immediate unpleasant eff fleets were observed until the second day thereafter. when it was found that there was complete desquamation of the cuti- cle. and since that time he is proof against the poison of the plant

ONE reason why the servant ques- tion has been allowed to stand unans- wered so long is that many of the wisest and most efficient housekeepers have by the exercise of firmness and moderation. managed to settle the matter for their own immediate fam flies in a tolerably satisfactory fash ion and have succumbed patiently to such attendant ills as they were pow erless to escape. believing that the existing state of things was inevitable and that all that was to be done was to make the best of things as they are. The policy Is not an ignoble one in it's imm ediate application and had it been more generally followed. the vexatious thing would prob ply have remained torpid for much longer period but the time for that is past The housekeeper is in tho field brist- ling with investigation. She is not in arms against the servant girl but against the system which has enslaved them both. and until that system is re- moved or improved she will know no rest

Wise and EarsighIeh.

Pierpont Morgan is rich man liv- ing in New York and owning a hand some share of Manhattan island. His name is now mentioned by the Eastern press in connection with laudatory adjectives According to one journal his gift of $500. 00O as an endow- ment of the New York trade schools is not only a munifcent act of charity but very wise and farsighted one also" Another journal declares tn at
 Mr. Morgan's gift is proof Of the practical sagacity of this distinguished banker and consummate financier
 There Is sound sense in this praise. Mr Morgan has made good invest ment. He desires to increase the productive capacity of future genera tions of New York workingmen. He is sagacious farsighted. and con- summate financier. Mir Morgan un- derstands what benefit would come to his heirs. executors and assigns were the productive power of all New York's workingmen doubled as the
 result Of such great and wise gifts Applying the work of these trade schools to a single industry will afford room for study of the conditions that must result from the coincident maintenance of system of restric- ton and higher manual training
 Let it be supposed that the trade schools turn out for the present only i skilled workmen for the sugar indus ! try. They go from the schools aided | by the wise and foresighted Mir Nor. i gan capable of filling any place in the
 retineries controlled by the sugar l trust They must have work and bid 1 against each other under system
 which has practically closed every re- | finery against them unless they &C., cept the first offer There Is in real
 ity but a single employer, and their
 ability to earn wages is nulliied by
 the monopoly enjoyed by the refiners
 in the closed market No one will
 contend that wages in sugar refneries could advance under these conditions
 But the workmen would produce more aud the consequent saving would not ! be lost Somebody would get it; and i if the matter be carefully examined it
 will appear that Mir. Morgan has not been unduly praised for his iarsight- edness. He Is not a sugar refiner 1 He does not propose that his heirs shall be But he fully underestimate 8 i that they will reap where he has sown and live to bless him for his 'muuiii cent act of charity"

 The chief caterers for the public were gipsies-mostly half-bred. for the Romany daughters are not so faithful to the tradi- tons of their race as they used to be, and there are many men and women who. like Bardolph Dimsey, owe their birth to asSo- citation with the house-dweIler.
 Many of these were at the fair. the men showing most of the alien blood, and the women elinging to the tricks of the nomadic race.
 They told fortunes while the men bought and sold horses. and their smooth tongues wheedled many piece of silver out of the pockets of ignorant listeners who believed in their forecastinSs.

A DoubtfaI Victory.

The salient fact of the situation in Rhode Island is that the state is good fighting ground and that it is just as possible there as in Massachusetts with proper car didates and the issue Of tariff reform and free raw materials kept to the front to wrest 1t from the Republican presidential column. A party that is compelled to fight it's hardest to hold state which until quite lately was one of its impregna- ble citidels need not be euvied what ever little comfort and hope it may be able to extract from its temporary evasion of defeat by the very skin of its teeth.

And even suppose he were discovered. who would suspect her?
 The flight of the gipsies would fasten the deed upon them, and who would believe any mad story they chose to tell?
 Yes. all went well. and it was good time fc be merry. Therefore she laughed. and tested, and nirted with kenard. and they had very pleasant time together.
 On leaving him she went up 10 her room and found Phoebe there doing some dustins and general arranging
 The girl looked pale and troubled, but she spoke quietly.

 SNAIL debts especially. are mis- chievous destroyers Of high sense of honor. Parents can teach their rh ldren to shun borrowing. and when they find themselves in debt to get out of debt as quickly as possible. We think ministers might oftener preach with profit to themselves and their hearers from the text: Owe no man anything save 10 love one anothern We know some ministers who could not do so without making some of their parishioners think they were being dunned. Paul was shrewd in intimating that a debtor can hardly love the creditor whose honest due he is withholding.

A RELATED PROTEST.
Need of Extended Reform in Printing the
 Congressional Record.


 Congressional Record.
 It is too late in the day for Re- publieans to make honest protest against the custom of loading the Congressional Record with irrelevant matter Every volume of that publi- cation for the last quarter oi a century has been burdened with speeches never delivered and contrl- buttons from persons as ignorant ot the subject matter under discussion as the conpressmen themselves Every little member from country districts who has needed campaign literature for his constituents has asked leave to print" and then has sent to the public printer the speech for which some scribe had been paid
 It now happens that work expos- ing the absurdities Of the protective system has been printed by chapters bg congressman who have thus paid tribute to a writer of admitted ability. The event is notable as evidencing the number Of congressman who have extended their reading Of current dis cussons beyond the columns oi the daily press. 1t is further notable as marking the number of those holding responsible positions who have ac- cepted the radical doctrines as to tax ation held by the author of the oook in question. But all this does not make a wrong right nor conceal the real animus of Republicans in now raising the question of proprlety. Tho Chicago Times does not believe the Congressional Record place for the publication of treaties on economies even though these be the most i'm portant of al issues now before the people. II there be two sides to po- iitical question it is the duty Of voters to acouaint themselves with the argu- ments by which each is sustained without looking to the government for the means of such study.
 There is need of extended reforms in the printing of the Congressional Record If that publication were to contain a faithful record Of what was actually said on the floors of both houses subject only to such editing as might be rendered necessary when some Cannon indulged in language unfit for publication. there would be more care taken in the selection of persons to represent intelligent con stituencies If the government de- sires to furnish text books on econom- ics it should be done in less expens- i've manner than by printing them in public records. And fl Republicans were honest in their protest they would determine the matter by firm 1 protest against any permission to print which might be asked by mem bers of either side There is no need of special statute in the premises. The objection of one member would settle the question for all time

Smokely Fair was in full swing, and it was said by the majority of inhabitants that it was the best fair they had known for years.
 This was not saying much perhaps. for the sports and pastimes of these ancient revelries are growing out of popular favor, or being superseded by pleasure more suit able to the taste of the age
 Music-halls, and an increase in the num- Der of theaters, the railway, the telegraph, and hundred other things have all com bined to help towards the extermination of the strolling player who performs in booths

rHE .Isd NAVY.
Completion of the Big Battle ships Nile
 and Trafalgar.
S--------rrD


 and Trafalgar.
 Tine English battle ship Trafalgar, which was launched in 1887 and now just completed and ready to gointo com mission, Is one of the heaviest and most powerful war ships ahoat. She has a length of 345 feet. breadth of B feet, a displacement of II .940 tons, and an in dicated horse power of 12.000, with a draft of 21 feet inches. She looms up in the distance one of the most powerful, bulky, and terrible monsters that have yet appeared upon the face of the waters at the command of man. Wrought iron, steel, and teak provide an armor that would seem impregnable, and from ram to sternpost provision has been made against the most formidable weapons of modern warfare. Turrets will revolve by hydraulic power. Each contains two G. ton breechloading guns, which in turn will be loaded and worked by hydraulic power and so arranged that they rise for firing and descend for loading. A full Acharge calls for 520 pounds of powder. This tremendous monarch, with its towering turrets and citadel, carries 200 tons of coal, the amount necessary for steaming 6,500 knots, and the highest speed yet attained by the ship is l6i knots an hour. The estimated cost at completion is $500 900, and is one of a pair, her sister ship being christened the Nile. The navy of England. with it's present appropriations and growing numbers, will soon be the admiration of the world. To what extent these i'm mense battle ships will be available in offensive warfare is yet to be shown. For purposes of defense, however, they much excel anything yet produced, and the mon entum for ram power must be tremendous and terrible, while the arma- ment provides for fierce execution. But how these immense ships will behave in oceanic storms or in long cruises at dis. tance from home is yet to be shown.

ENvY. to see; sign. looking in a con- trary direction. 1t is one of the base est of passions. The envious man never rests easy or quiet but is al- ways repining or grieving at the sue cess of another. and striving to pull him down to his own level or beneath to gratify his evil passion. or his ma licious desires; aye would trample him down to the dust to keep him down.
