Ivy, and all noxious plants. 1t is COM
posed exclusively of roots and herbs. Now
IS the time to get the poison out of your
system, as delay makes your condition
worse. Don't experiment longer with
salves, washes and soaps-they never cure.
Mr.. S. NJ. Marshall, bookkeeper of the Atlanta
(Ga) Gas Light Co., was poisoned with Poison
Oak. He took Sulphur, Arsenic and various
other drugs, and applied externally numerous
lotions and salves with no benefit. At times the
swelling and Inflammation was so severe he was
almost blind For eight years the poison would
break out every season. His condition was much
improved after taking one bottle cf S. S. S., and
few bottles cleared his blood of the poison, and
all evidences of the disease disappeared.
People are often poisoned without
knowing when or how. Explain your case
fully to our physicians, and they will
cheerfully give such information and ad-
vice as you require, without charge, and

Paris, France. M. Santos Dumont,
the young Brazilian %aeronaut, made an
ascension in his new dirlgible balloon
from the park station of the Aero Club
at 2.42 o'clock p. M. He doubled the
Eiffel Tower and returned successfully
to st. Cloud in twenty nine and a half
minutes, but the guide rope was not
seized Immediately, and ii took forty
and three-ffth seconds more to bring
the balloon down.
The descent was witnessed by large
crowds at st. Cloud III On the Long
champs race course. They cheered
loudly and shouted "Yiye Santos-Du-
month with widest enthusiasm. As
the aeronaut alighted Marquis Dion, a
member of the committee, said: MY
friend, you have lost by just forty sec
Onds."
NJ. Santos Dumont took matters phil
osophically. and remarked: After all,
1t doesn't much matter for the 100000
francs will go to the poor, anyhow"
At this moment NJ. Henri Deursch,
the founder of the prize, came on the
ground, having just arrived in Paris
from Biarritz, and exclaimed, LAS fan
as / am concerned, 1 consider that you
have fairly and pluckily won the
prlzes'
NJ. Deutsch said he would give 25,O00
francs to the poor, Notwithstanding
the decision OF the committee. But
Santos-Dumont declined to accept the
offer as a solution of the difficulty.
The enthusiasm increased, MN.
Deutsch and Santos-D umont being ac-
claimed in triumph. The scene was
extremely bright and theatrical, for
among the young Brazilian a~eronauts
admirers present were a group of about
thirty who showered flowers
upon their hero, and in the height of
their enthusiasm offered him fans,
bracelets and jewels of every descrip-
ton.
There was a large assemblage of
people at the Eiffel Tower. and consid-
cradle interest was manifested in the
experiment in othel parts of Paris.
groups of people gathering in the
streets TO watch the progress of tht
elongated, yellow balloon with its
long guide rope hanging and white
canvas propellers whirling round,
while those below distinctly distin
guished the loud buzzing of the motor.
Santos-D umont rounded the Eiffel
Tower between the second and top
most platforms, at about se~venty-fivc
yards away from the tower. The bal
loon pitched somewhat when going
against the wind, and Santos umont,
when he descended, said the motor
suddenly stopped while the balloon
was at a little distance from the tower.
He thought he might have to descend,
but luckily he succeeded in getting
the machine started again. From that
time ON the motol worked satisfac-
torily.

Hatchers of trout and other fish find

their claws as gaff hooks pull numbers

fishers and herons are always or the
watch, to say nothing Of tame ducks

A favorite method of killing the
former sort of marauders Is to line
the ponds with tin. Then a mink or
weasel getting into the water will find
it impossible to climb out and NAV be
shot or speared as desired.
Hawks and klngishers have a wav
of alighting on some convenient perch
near the pond. The fish hatcher makes
a perch for them by erecting a pole
