IVY AND sUMACH POISONING.
Household Remedies That VIII Af-
ford Relief and Prevent Per-
manent Injury.


With the advent of summer and its
accompanying outdoor recreations,
there will be the usual number of un-
fortunate persons who will, from care
lessness or ignorance, handle poison
ivy and sunderland become poisoned.
1t is well known that some persons are
not affected by this poison, while 9th
ers are so sensitive that it is not neces-
sary for them to come in actual con-
tact with the vines, their mere proX-
imixty seemingly being enough to
communicate the infection. For these
unfortunates the description of few
simple remedies will be of use, says
Golden Days.
The best treatment for ivy poison is
to wash the places affected as soon as
the poisoning has been discovered, in
strong soapsuds or saleratus water.
OF course. after Inflammation begins
to show itself, some remedies must be
applied which will check and control
the eruption and swelling.
The common household remedy is
witch hazel which can be procured at
any druggists, in small bottles. This
is very good for ordinary cases. but it
has a tendency to relieve the itching
and smarting sensation more than to
check the speed and growth of the
Inflammation.
Probably one of the best things is to
procure some common black wash at
a drug store and use it as lotion twice
a day for half an hour at time. Be-
tween these times keep the poisoned
surface covered with cold water dress
ings or ointments of some soft nature.
Another good remedy is teaspoon
full of sugar of lead in pint of water,
applied as wash several times day.
Common plantain leaves, bruised and
applied as a poutice, will be found
very cooling and beneficial, and are
sometimes used instead of all other
remedies.
Sumach poisoning may be treated in
the same way as ivy poisoning, and 1t is
we'll to state, for the comfort of those
afflicted, that neither one of these
poisons is dangerous. 1t requires three
or four weeks for the attacks to run
their full course, and then the pois-
oned parts begin to heal mp of them
selves. Remedies can simply alleviate
the pain and sometimes partly check
the Inflammation, but they never en-
tirely prevent and cure the poison at
once.
The eruptions seldom show them
selves until day or two after contact
with the poisons, and after that there
is no danger from coming in contact
with another person.
Although the poisoning sometimes
assumes the appearance of very Sc
rious case, the result is never perma-
nent. No scars or disf1gurements ever
mark the skin or flesh after the poison
has disappeared. The poison is an acid,
which exists in all parts of the plants,
but especially in the leaves.

DICTATES OF FASHION.
Fancifu1 Fabrics and Picturesque
Effects Will Be in Vogue
for Summer.

Nearly all of the black lace and net
gowns for evening wear this season
are made up over white, reports the
Chicago Oily News.
Lace wraps of all kinds are con-
sidered smart. and even old lace
shawls are being brought out again
to be worn.
striking than the highwayman shape
strapped across the ribbon and fin
ished with handsome feathers at the
side.
White coats are in all lengths and
in many styles and materials. but are
invariably loose unless they belong
to suit, in which case they may be
made in any way that pleases the
fancy.
There are genuine stole effects in
lace for woman's summer wear made
after the order of the narrow fur
stoles worn in winter. The stoles are
double, with the lace on both sides
and are reversible.
Plum color has come to the fore
again. It combines well with pale
blue, and when used on hats forms
good background for pansies. One
model of plum colored rice straw is
almost covered with small pansies in
different shades.
There is no doubt that etheretal fab
rics are rendered exceedingly smart
and more durable by mixing them
with a coarse make of lace. If possi-
BILE, have your cape, collar, fichu or
what you will of lace arranged so
that it can do duty for more than
one frock. The deep cavalier cuffs
are charming and can be moved from
one gown to another.
There is growing craze for os-
preys, which have quite put paradise
plumes in the shade for the time be-
ing. The brush osprey stands up
straight from the front or the side
of the hat and looks more original
than pretty. The Spanish hat shape
win survive the season. Light brown
tulle hats with ostrich feathers are
very elegant; they may be enlivened
with a touch of turquoise blue, al
mond green or primrose yellow.
There is a variety in the shape of
the low waist intended for evening
wear. The square neck is not so fash
ionable now as the round, with the
gown cut well off the shoulders and
so perfectly fitting that it does not
need, except for appearance sake,
strap of embroidery, lace or jewels
that holds it over the shoulders. Be
low the top of the arm the real
sleeve begins and has rather large
bow of chiffon or net caught with a
ieweled ornament or a band of lace,
from which hang plaitings Of chiffon
or net ornamented With medallions Of
lace, or whether trimming Is used on
the gown itself.

CITY THAT OWNS ITSELF.
The Municipal Control Idea Is Most
Fully ExempIified at
Glasgow.

Glasgow according to the Scotch
man, may fairly claim to be the most
self-owned city in the world, owning
water, gas, electric light, tramways
and telephones, also IL parks and gal
leries, IL public baths and wash
houses, fruit and vegetable market,
one dead meat, one home and two for
eign cattle markets, besides markets
for cheese. birds and dogs and old
clothes.
Four slaughter houses, with Offices
belong to the ratepayers, four hos
pitfalls, one burying ground, 2,4ss dwell
ing houses. rs lodging houses, one fam
lily home. 372 shops, 40 stores, 43 ware
houses AZ workshops. 12 halls. two no.
tells, two churches. one studio, one
theater, one pawn office one nursing
home, one powder mill one laundry.
one bakehouse, one Gospel tent, one
panorama and one golf course. The
provender used in the stalls of the
cleansing department is grown upon
1,000-acre farm belonging o the cor
poration, while they also own stone
quarries and 900 railway wagons. In
behalf of the city the corporation car
ries oil business as market gardeners
and manure merchants, besides build
ing tramway cars. reclaiming hogs and
collecting and selling waste paper,
etc.
Several other cities and towns are
following Glasgow's lead and acquir-
ing property of various sorts, with the
hope that the income therefrom will
reduce the rates. hut no individual cor
pora tion owns such a varied assort-
ment of property as Glasgow, and its
possessions are steadily increasing.

ilized tribes-Cherokees, Creeks, Choc-
taws, Chickasaws and Seminoles-less
than $4,000 are full bloods, so the In
dians will soon lose their racial iden-
tity. All the tribes except the Creeks
have passed laws admitting the inter
married whites or "squaw men" to
full citizenship, and, too, at the time
of their removal to the territory
many of the Indians owned slaves,
who, when freed by the war, became
citizens. Now many members of the
tribes have in their veins the blood
of three races.

The intelligence of animals seems, as
a rule, to be underrated, rather than
overrated A dog breeder described
the other day wonderful collie that
had belonged to Sir John Lubbock.
This dog" he said, "would, when it
was hungry, lay at its masters feet a
card marked food When it was
thirsty it would fetch card marked
drink When it wanted to take a
walk it would bring a card marked
out Sir John Lubbock trained it to
do this trick in less than month.
He put the food card over the dogs
food, and made it bring the card to
him before he would allow it to eat,
and in the matter of drinking and GO
ing out he used like method. The
cards were sinsilar in shape and color;
nothing but the writing on them diff
fered. Since, therefore, the dog dis.
tinguished them by the writing alone,
it may truly be said that the animal
could read" Mature.
