NOTES FROM THE PARIS Elk
POSITION.

1.-THE Singer Manufacturing Com.
pany, of 14s Broadway, New York
show their usual American enterprise
by having very creditable exhibit, 10
Gated in Group XIII, Class 70, at the
Paris International Exposition, where
they show to great advantage the cele-
brated Singer Sewing-Machine which
is used in every country on the globe,
both for family use and for manufac-
turing purposes. The writer was high
~ pleased with this display and OBJ
served with much satisfaction that it
was favora bly, commented upon by Wis
itors generally.
The Grand Prize was awarded by the
international Jury to Singer Sewing
Machines for superior excellence in de-
sign, construction, efficiency and for
remarkable development and adoption
to every stitching process used in
either the family or the factory.
Only One Grand Prize for sewing ma
chimes was awarded at Paris, and this
distinction of absolutely superior merit
confirms the previous action of the In
ternational Jury at the Worlds Co.
lumbar Exposition, in Chicago, where
Singer machines received "a distinct
awards, being more than were re-
ceived by all other kinds of sewing ma
chimes combined.
Should it be possible that any of our
readers are unfamiliar with the cele-
brated Singer Machine, we would re-
specially advise that they call at any
of the Singer salesrooms which can be
found in all cities and most towns in
the United States"

An Unfortunate Bapti.mal Name.

Baptismal stories seem to be as
numerous as the sands on the seashore.
Of numbers which have been sent to us
we give the following: "A difficulty
commonly met with by priests is due
to the fact that parents and godpa-
rents persist in giving both Christian
and surnames when asked to Name
this child A year or two ago l. was
summoned by member of our congre-
CATION, Hill by name, to baptize his
brothers baby who was supposed to
be dying. Now, it happened that the
man was really his brother-in-iaw, and
was named Gee, though was unaware
of it at the time. proceeded to bap-
tie the infant, and on inquiring the
name was informed that it was to be
Hubert Gee. Hubert Gee? l in
qu;red, doubtfu,ly. Hubert Gee re-
piled the mother. Accordingly, bap-
tized the child by this name. Imagine
my horror and amuse ment when, on
taking down the particulars for entry
into the baptismal register. I discov-
cred that the family name was Gee. and
that the baby would henceforth be
known as Hubert Gee Gee!'-London

UNUSED RAILROAD TICKETS.
According to This Account 1t Il an
Easy Matter to Obtain a Re-
fund for Them.

Some men with unused railroad
tickets on their hands will sell them
to scalpers, while others go to the
railroad company that issued them
and obtain their value in money.
Most persons, however. do neither,
and accept the loss when the ticket
is worth less than dollar. Indeed,
many persons do not realize that the
railroad companies stand ready to re-
deem unused tickets even of small
value, so that the companies must be
richer by many thousands of dollars
a year through this ignorance, says
the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Every railroad ticket bears the
name of the general passenger agent
and of the general manager. of the
road. It is simple matter to in
close the ticket with letter direct
ed to the general passenger agent,
asking him to refund the money paid
and explaining the reason why the
ticket is left unused in the hands
of the purchaser. 1t is courteous to
inclose stamped envelope in which
the money may be returned.
When all these things have been
done the company generally acknowl
edges the receipt of the ticket-hold
er's communication and promises te
investigate the matter. The investl
CATION consists in the proper identi
fication of the ticket by the agent
who sold it, and little bookkeeping
to set the accounts right. Then the
,, purchaser receives check for the
, amount due from the railroad com
pany, along with a letter requesting
! acknowledgement

POISON IVY AND ANTIDOTE.
Spotted TOuch-Me-Not Said to Speed
lily Counterfeit the Ivy's
Effects.

Poison ivy belongs to the sumac
family and derives it's botanical name
from the ancient Celtic ''rhudd," red,
and the Greek 'toxicodendron," or
poison plant. The origin of the poi
son, which causes great suffering to
many people, was for a long while a
mystery, as the plant itself contains
no active poison, as do many plants,
but it now seems to be certain that
the plant nourishes deadly bacilli,
which enters the pores of the skin
and give the poisoned parts their
characteristic appearance. The three
leaves are pale green and the creep
ing plant is to be found in many parts
of the island of Montreal. It is close
ly related to the Rhus Venenata, or
'poison sumac," sometimes, also,
called "poison dogwood." Poison SUI
mac, however, is shrub, with the
drupe greenish-yellow and only grows
in swamps. Its flowers are green and
it is very poisonous. The ordinary
sumac, with red fruit and I crimson
hairs, is not dangerous, says the Mon
treal witness.
1t is said, that some people cannot
90 into the neighborhood of poison
ivy without suffering from the poison
of the plant, while others can handle
it without any i'll effects. Many an
tidotes to the poison have been rec
commended, as it affects different peo-
pie differently, and among the most
efficacious have been strong soapsuds
and bicarbonate of soda. One perfect
~ painful result of rhus toxicoden-
dron poisoning is that with many
people the parts poisoned are liable
to be affected for several years aft
erward at about the same period the
disease was originally caught. This
plant grows erect as well as decum-
bent, and in the former case is known
as poison oak.
In addition to the aids of the drug
gist, however, nature is said to have
provided most efficient remedy for
rhus toxicodendron poisoning, in the
shape Of the widely-spread flower
known as Spotted touch-me-not," or
"Impatiens fulva." It is also called
the "jewel weed" and is very abun.
dant in the watercourses during
June and July, when the rhus toxico-
dendron and the rhus venenata are
most poisonous. The color of the
flower of spotted touch-me-not" is
a deep orange and the spots are of a
reddish brown. The lip forms a sac
not very much unlike the moccasin
flower, anu it ends in curved spur
The seed pods burst if slightly
touched and scatter the seeds all
around. To this peculiar property
the plant owes its common name. II
is also called "noli-metangere" and
"n'y touchez pas" The remedy is ap
piled by expressing the juices of the
plant and applying the same to that
part of the skin which has been poi

telling his story to the judge. The judge, in
a bland and courteous. manner, said: cad

what had been said to him, continued his
narrative. The judge was then more ex-
plicit, and said to him: "Speak to the jury,

with perfect gravity: Good morning, gen.
