PoiSou-Sumac.

There are several species of sumac.
and most of them are harmless, but if
we do not know one from the other
we are apt to feel uncomfortable in
the presence of any of them. The
poisonous species may be readily dis
tinguished from either the smooth
sumac or the stag-horn sumac by rea-
son of the fact that the leaflets Of these
species are saw-edged, while those Of
the poison sumac are 'entire'-that
is, without teeth or lobes. The one
other species with which it may be
confused is the mountain sumac; but
as in this shrub the leaf-stemS are
widened out into so-called wings" it
need not be mistaken for it's dangerous
relative. ,.Whose stems are wingless.
The poison ivy, e near relative OF the
poison sumac, though usually a
creeper, is ciassed with the shrubs, and
sometimes becomes n when il grows
in a spot where there are no supports
for its aerial rootlets. This plant has
compound leaves with three leaflets.
q fact which enables us to distinguish
it at once from the Virginia creeDer,
which has five leaflets, and from the
bitterSweet, which has from seven to
nine.-Woman's Home Companion.
