"Thtrty Poisonous Plants"


Send to the Department OF Agricul-
ture at Washington, D. G., for free
pamphlet entitled Thirty Poisonous
Plants" Every one who loves to
roam In fields and forest should know
the poisonous plants. 1t IL very for
tunate for those who are fond Of ram
bling through the fields and woods
that most Of the plants in that gov
eminent list are poisonous only when
eaten. Nearly all cases. Of skin poison
ing are from poison Ivy or poison
sumac.
1t will doubtless surprise many who
read this pamphlet Of Thirty Poison
GUS Plants to learn that the lady's
slippers or moccasin flowers are in
cluded In the list. A poisonous oil sim
liar to that of poison Ivy Is secreted
in the leaf hairs, especially at the
fruiting season. The leaves and how-
ers Of the lily-Of-the-valley are also
poisonous when taken internally. The
taste, however, IL very bitter, 50 no
one is likely to eat them.

The building is now practically COM

other printing office in the world and
in it's interior appointments Is de-
light to any printers eye. The oak
cases, the light and the sohdity and
security of the structure cause the
printers to speak in highest praise OF
it.
The new office has a floor space OF
about fourteen acres, divided into
seven floors without partitions. Print
ers need light and this is provided by
ZOO windows. One-third of all the
wall space Is glass, and, in order that
this light may not be lost, the walls OF
the rooms are lined with white enamel

Nearly 1000 Employees.
Each day about fifteen tons of paper
are used and in the cases are more
than 1900, 600 pounds Of ordinary type.
There are 1887 employees on the pay
roll, of whom more than 1000 are
typesetters, 927 are employed in the
bindery. $50 are pressmen and 50
electrotypers. The rest are divided
among various departments and all are
well paid. .s
The government Of the United States
does more printing and publishes more
documents than any other nation In
the world, and last year the cost of
this branch Of the service reached
ST, 94S, 458.oS. A large proportion Of
this money was wasted by the printing
of worthless and useless documents
ordered by Congress. One-half Of 1Me
printing done for the Senate and the
House Of Representatives is a pure
waste of labor and money, and the
extravaganza Of Congress in this re-
spect is increasing annually. No mat
ter what kind Of report Is made from
q committee, no matter what sort Of 8
petition is presented by q senator OF
a member, it goes to the government
printing ofice, and at least 1900 cop
les are issued and divided among The
members of both houses for distribu
ton. This has been the subject OF
inquiry and discussion periodically fol
many years, and repeated attempts
have been made to introduce measures
of economy, but the Congress readily
drops back into its old habits afte1
a few months Of reform.
1t is said that company at Edin
burgh, Scotland, is building a printing
establishment more than twice as largt
as the government office at Washing
ton and that it will cost $1,000, 600
while the plant at Washington repre-
sents only about $4,000,OO0. but no on
seems to know much about It excep
that 1t is intended for the publication
of books and magazines.
The French government has the mex
biggest printing establishment in

government is third in size, and tina
