POISON Wy

inmate the Plant.
what is poison ivy!s What does
it look like?" How can it be distin
guished from Virginia ereeper?n These
and similar questions have been asked
me hundreds of times, and they are
questions that it is well for every one
to be able to answer for himself, says
a writer in Country Life In America
Poison ivy has three leaflets and Vir-
ginia creeper has five. The former has
white berries. the latter purple.
There is little jingle which re-
member having at some time read,
which, concisely, if not very POLITICALLY,
explains these differences, and which,
if committed TO memory, will always
serve to distinguish the poisonous and
nonpoisonous sumacs:
Berries red,
Have no dread;
Berries white,
Poisonous sight;
Leaves three,
Quickly flee;
Leaves three, with berries red,
Fragrant sumac, have no dread.
All the drugs in the world are of no
use in preventing bad case of poison
ing, unless one begins to do something
as soon as the telltale itching begins.
When the pustules break open, one is
almost sure to be in for three days or
a week of suffering. 1t is well to have
a little bottle of the extract Of grin
della in the house all the time. Ten
cents worth is enough. You can get it
at any drug store. Rub it on the at
fected parts every five minutes until
the trouble is averted, and be sure to
lose no time in beginning!
Poison ivy is often troublesome in
gardens and grounds, as well as on the
farm, where it infests fence rows. On
the farm it can be plowed out, but a
single blowing is not enough. Five or
six may be necessary before the frag-
ments cease to send up new leaves.
Any plant can be smothered in this
way-even .quackgrass, which is
propagated by being cut TO pieces. The
one essential thing is persistence. The
leaves of a plant are its lungs" and if
the leaves are cut off as soon as they
appear the plant will die. 1t is a sure
way, but you must keep "everlastingly
at it
The same principle applies to the
garden, where poison ivy can be ex-
terminated by the frequent use Of the
hoe. Few people are so sensitive that
they viii be poisoned at the distance
Of the length of hoe handle. Most
cases of poisoning are supposed to
come from direct contact Of the leaves
on cut fingers or other bruised sur
faces. A good way to get rid of poison
ivy in a garden is to hire some one who
is immune to root it out and keep root
ing it out until it never shows leaf
again.

Swimming the Best Exercise.

A series of experiments, conduct.

proved that swimming is the most

pared sterile needle. Then, when

Low Ants sIeep.

During sleep the ants body is
quite still. Occasionally may be
noted a regular lifting up and setting
down of the fore feet, one leg after
another, with almost rhythmic mo-
ton. The antenae also have a gen
tie Quivering, apparently involun-
tary movement, almost like breath
ing. The soundness of slumber was
frequently proved by applying the
feather end of quill. The feather
tip is lightly drawn along the back,
stroking with the fur" There is
no motion. Again and again this
action is repeated, the stroke being
made gradually heavier. Still there
is no change. The strokes are direct
ed upon the head, with the same re-
suit. Then the feather is applied to
the neck with a waving motion in
tended to tickle it. The ant remains
motionIess.
Finally the sleeper is aroused by q
sharp touch of the quill. She
stretches out her head; then her
legs, which she shakes also; steps
nearer to the light yawns, and be-
gins to comb her antennae and brush
her head and mouth. Then she
chambers over her sleeping comrades,
dives into an open gangway, and
soon has said Good morning to
another tour of duty. Be it well
noted, however, that she has gone
to work, as she and all her fellows
do, not only. rested, but with her
person perfectly clean.-Harper'

was found to be the Newfoundland

Now, Willie" said his mother,
you have told very naughty story,
and you must go to your room and
pray for forgiveness and remain
there until the Lord does forgive
you"
Willie promptly obeyed, but he was
gone only a few minutes before he
came tripping back.

his mother.
Yes" was the reply, and He said

what Women Most Like.

A woman likes to be truly loved
and to be told SO.
She likes some noble, honorable
man to be thoughtful of her, kind
and considerate of her welfare.
When we'll and becomingly dress
ed, quiet notice of it is always ap-
preciated.
A word of praise for nice din
ner or supper often more than COM
pensates her for the worry and
work of preparation.
She wants her husband not to be
her supporter but her companion, re.
membering that it is the kind word
that often brings her greater happi-
ness than a new set of dishes,
though presents like the latter are
always welcome.
She likes to be made to realize

second hard blow.
The first was administered on Tues
