When Poisoned by Ivy.

City children spending their vaca-
tions in the country are apt to become
the victims of many small accidents
which could have been prevented had
they the knowledge which the country
bred child possesses. One OF the most
ling poison ivy, so try and teach the
small folks the difference between the
ivy which is dangerous to touch and
the kind which is harmless, by show
ing them that the poisonous vine has
only three leaves while the other has
five. If by accident child gets hold
of poison ivy and knows of it tell him
he must run home quickly and wash
his hands in salt and water, and by no
means to touch his face. If the flesh
begins to swell, salt or soda and water
may relieve it, but sugar of lead surely
will. When applying this latter to
the face keep the eyes closed till the
solution has dried into the skin. The
blotches caused by poison ivy look like
raised burns, and are often bordered
with little tiny water blisters. which,
if neglected, will run into large Bills
tiers and be exceedingly painful. When
the poisoning is severe the hands and
parts affected will often swell at in
teryals for many months without any
apparent cause. The swelling will
gradually lessen and at length disap-
pear without any special medication
beyond the bathing of the spots with
the mentioned remedies.--Ex.

May.

This month, the fifth in our calen-
dar. was the third with the Romans.
The origin of the name is somewhat
doubtful. but the best etymology
seems to show that it is derived from
the goddess Maia, the mother of
Mercury, that swift messenger of JOye.
Though the Romans held many fes-
tivalsin this month, in one respect
they deemed it to be unlucky,-to
contract marriages in May. In our
mother-land of England, from time
almost immemorial, the first day
of May has been time for floral
festivities, and innocent out-of-door
jollity. During Cromwellian times
the severe sectaries abolished the may
pole dances and rejoicing, doing all
they could to turn the world into
what they declared it TO be,-a vale of
tears. Happily that day of prejudice
and bigotry has passed, and we well
come the month of flowers, as we
should. a charming gift from the
Creator. Travel in the Northwest is
never pleasanter than in this month,
and no part of this section is more at
tractive than the beautiful valley of
the upper Mississippi. A journey
along the east bank of this picturesque
river. if taken in the elegant fast
trains OF the Burlington Route, will
always BE- a pleasant memory. For
tickets. maps and any information,
apply to your local agent, or write to

Burdette to the Young Men.

Remember, my son, that the world
is older than you are by several years:
that for thousands of years it has been
so full of smarter and better young
men than Yourself that their feet
stuck out of the dormer windows: that
when they died the old globe went
whirling on, and not one man out of
ten millions went TO the funeral, or
even heard of the death.
BE as smart as you can, of course.
Know as much as you can without
blowing the packing out of your cylin-
der heads; shed the light Of your
wisdom abroad in the world but don't
dazzle people with it, and don't imag-
inc thing so simple because you say
it is. Don't be sorry for your father
because he knows SO much less than
you do Remember the reply of DIR.
Wayland to the student of Brown
University who said il was an easy
enough thing to make proverbs such
as Solomon wrote: MAKE few; said
the old man tersely. We never heard
| that the young man made any: not
more than two or three, anyhow. The
| world has great need of young men,
but no greater need than young men
have of it. Your clothes fit you bet
ter than your fathers fit him: they
cost more money, they are more
stylish; your mustache is heater, the
cut of your hair is better, and you are
prettier, oh, far prettier than pa"
But, young man, the old gentleman
gets the biggest salary, and his home
ly, scrambling signature on the bust
ness end of a check will draw out of
a bank in five minutes more money
than you can get out with a ream of
paper and copper-plate signature in
six months.
Young men are useful and they are
ornamental and we all love them, and
couldn't engineer picnic successfully
without them. But they are no nov
elites, my son. Oh, no, nothing of
the kind: they have been here before.
Don't be so modest as to shut yourself
clear out, but don't be SO fresh that
you will have TO be put away to keep
from spelling. Don't be afraid that
your merits viii not be discovered.
People all over the world are hunting
| for you and ii you are worth finding
they will find you. A diamond is not
soeasily found as quartz pebble, but
some people search for it all the more

A Significant Commentary on Demo-
cratic Honesty.


In 1863 when the nation was in the
throes OF civil war and casting about
for means to press the conflict to a
successful close, congress resorted TO
the extraordinary expedient of an in
come tax. This kind of tax has been
held TO be most Odious at any time by
civilized nations. and has been re-
sorted to only in instances of great
emergency. This measure was passed
by congress in 1863 by large majority
but not without opposition. Among
those who opposed this tax at that
time was ID. w. Voorhees, of Indiana.
This is the same ID. w. voorhees, who
is the champion of the income tax in
the U. ). Senate to-day on behalf of
the democratic party. A party that
strenuously opposed the income tax
as war measure but resorts to it in
a time of profound peace is scarcely to
be congratulated for craftsmanship,
patriotism or honesty. But there is a
sublime purpose in pressing this meas
ure nevertheless, a purpose that APP
pears in many features of the Wilson
tariff bill. The purpose is to favor
the south as against the north. 1t is
the rankest kind of sectionalism
From 1863 To 1S13,-the duration OF
the income tax measure,-there was
collected from this source the sum OF
S347, 30, S97, of which amount the
southern states paid 81, 0O4, $3.50.

The vanguard of the Commonweal
army arrived in Washington on
Schedule time and marched up Penn
sylvania Avenue 300 strong May LIST,
accompanied with the boom of bass
drum and the screech of a Scotch bag
pipe. An army of mounted police was
drawn up at the entrance to the
capitol grounds TO prevent their
march into the sacred precincts, as an
organized body. Everything was love-
ly until Coxey slipped past the Gordon
of mounted police and attempted to
make a speech on the steps of the
capitol. Then there was tempest
in tea pot as the cops hustled the
general along TO prevent his inter
monopoly of the speech making at the
national headquarters of oratory.
The people of Washington seem to be
as badly scared by the invasion of a
few hundred inoffensive and unarmed
tramps as they were in 1868 when the
confederates were marching on the
city. These people only want to talk.
The capitol ought not the be afraid
of wind. The buildings in that city
are mostly one story high so they can
the better withstand the furious
simooms that periodically issue from
the Gave of the Winds" on Capitol
