DANGER IN POISON IVY.
HOW TO KNOW THE PIANT-sIMPLE REM
EDIES II AFFECTED BY 1T

In speaking the other day of the trip the
Californian said that several members of the
party We're made extremely uncomfortable at
Santa Cruz because they touched the poison ivy
some Of the big trees.
If one knows how the Rhus tOxicodendron-
that is the scientific name for the ivy-Iooks.' -
said the man of the woods. he can avoid it with
ease. 1t is sometimes low shrub about a foot
high. and it is also graceful vine, with stout
hairy stems. This vine sends out horizontal
branches The bush and the vine do not look
alike but both have coarse toothed. oval pointed
leaves. These always three in a group, and
this season the plant also bears small green
ish white berries"
Poison oat, otherwise Rhus radicans. and
poison sImach, or Rhus vinenta, are other plants
to be avoided by visitors to the woods The
sunIach has groups OF four leaflets, oval pointed
in form, arranged on tapering stem 1t diff
fers from the real sumach in far that its leaf
let's incline upward. In the autumn the foliage
is a brilliant scarlet. The little berries look like
grayish white grapes.
a good antdote fer ivy poisoning in its first
stages is a solution of ordinary baking soda
a bottle containing pint of water and heap
ing teaspoonfuI of baking soda is carried by
many persons who take walks in the woods
for while people may handle the poison
vines without danger others poisoned if
they pass within twelve feet of them.

THE ANTITRUST LAW.

In view of the generally accredited
announcement that Mr.. Littlefteld, 4,
who is the successor of the late Nelson
Dingley in congress and compare
lively young member of the national
Legislature, has been chosen to draft
the proposed anti-trus law to be push
ed at the next session of congress, a
synopsis of bill introduced by him
during the early hours of the fifty
seventh congress is of interest. Mr..
Littlefield's bill, known as ''H. r. No.
81 was referred to the judiciary com
mittee but received, so far as known,
no further consideration 1t is said
to have been framed after consultation
with the president and to have met
with his approval
Briefly put, it declares that the
formation of trust with view to
restraining trade shall be deemed a
crime punishable by fine of not less
than $500 and not more than $5, 600 and
by Imprisonment for not less than six
months and not more than two years.
1t provides that every person who
shall attempt to monopolize or com
bine or conspire with others to monop-
oize any part of the trade or COM
merce within the several states, or
with foreign nations. shall be liable
10 the penalties above stated, and that
any railroad or transportation company
which shall transport goods for any
trust, as defined in the act, shall be
liable to the fines above stated and any
officer or agent acting for such trans.
portation company shall be liable to
both penalties above stated. II
further provides that any person who
believes his business to have been in.
jured by trust may bring suit undel
the act and that no person or combi
nation shall be exempt from produc
ing their books and papers on demand
of the court. Whether the law which
Mr. Littlefield will draft this summer
will be similar to the above is no
known but it is presumable that thu
law outlined fairly represents his
views. j
