POISON IN THE PLANTS.
Care Necessary in Handling Certain Flowers
Frequently Met with.
From the New York sun.

From the New York Sun.
one thing that the wise man does not
do when on his summer vacation is to
handle indiscriminately wild plants and
flowers which he may find in his wood
land wanderings For the botanist,
and to the average countryman, certain
plants hang out their own danger sig
mails, but the average city man on his
vacation doesn't recognize these signals
until he has learned by bitter experience
that soft and fuzzy tufts of vegetation
may be as uncomfortable TO handle as
red-hot stove lids and that the most
velVety of green things is the one which
biteth like serpent and stinSeth like
an adder.
This year has been remarkably pro-
life of cases of plant poisoning in this
neighborhood, and every country drug
store has done a big business in cooling
lotions Perhaps it is because wild vege-
tation has grown more freely this year
than in most summers, fostered by the
early summer warmth and sunshine, or
perhaps the condition of the soil has
been such as to infuse in the plants a
peculiarly poisonous quality, That is
one of the things that scientific men are
unable to say, just as they fail to tell
why one man can handle poison ivy
with impunity, while another, Il his
own family brought up under similar
conditions, will suffer a bitter penalty
for merely passing near it. one of these
plants, which show great luNuriance this
year. is the poison sumach, whose scien-
tific name is rhus yenenata. Country
boys know it as swamp dogwood, poison
dog, poison elder and swamp sumach,
while in one locality in Pennsylvania it
is known as Jones cuss," probably
from some local legend. 1t is found in
swampy regions all over the United
States. and in this state il Is thick where
the valley streams spread into swamps
and marshes. In appearance ii is much

The increase in business is worry
ing the Republicans greatly. They
hoped that the hard times would
continue, wages remain low and en-
ployment scarce, as they would claim
that all these hardships were the re-
suit of the Wilson bill. But times
are improving rapidly and every day
the telegraph announces an increase
in wages in some mandatory. Even
down at Wilmington, DEL, wages
have been increased 10 per cent. and
Carnegie has also increased wages
the same amount. Before 1896 the
Republicans will have to look fol
some other cause with which to OPP

Your Physical Condition

Needs attention at this time. If you
are tired, weak and nervous, it is clear
that your blood is impure, and with
out doubt there has been too much
oyer-work or strain on brain and
body. The course of treatment for
such condition is plain and simple.
The blood must first be purified SO
that the nervous system, and in fact
all the organs will be fed upon pure
blood. Intelligent people without
number have testified that the best
blood purifier, nerve ionic and
strength imparting medicine is Hoods
Sarsaparilla. Nervousness, loss of
sleep and general debility all vanish
when Hood's Sarsaparilla is persist
emily taken; in a word, health and
happiness follow after taking Hoods
Sarsaparilla.

Queen Victoria was rs years old last
Friday.

The great State of New York heads
the list of manufacturing common
wealths and Pennsylvania is close
second. Massachusetts, formerly held
the third place, but owing to the enor-
nous development of Chicago, Illinois
has taken that rank. New York and
Pennsylvania have already provided
for exhibits at the Atlanta Exposition,
taking the wise view that this is an
opportunity to extend the trade of
their manufacturers abroad. Mass
achusetts and Illinois have similar
measures under consideration and il
is hoped that they will profit by the
example of Pennsylvania and New
York. Massachusetts is famous fol
the high character of it's products and
since its supremacy in textile manu-
featuring has been challenged it can
not afford to let this opportunity &C
by
