MINING RIGHT AT HOME

Seward vil soon have mining camp right at home. The develop mcutS on Fall, creek indicate the pres encc of 30 bonanza there, and for miles the croppjngs arc.ytsihle. Enough has been done Go demonstrate the fact that several rich mines are already in sight. The only uncertain feature is the ex- tent of the mineraI-brarjng area.

STORM WRECKS
 NINETEEN BOATS
Worst Gale Known in Fifty Years Sweeps over Great Lakes

 Chicago, Nov 29--Nineteen vessels were wrecked on the Great Lakes yesterday in the fercest storm that has prevailed in that region in fifty years. It centered about DEluth, where four steel ships were smashed and sunk.
 The gale is still blowing and it is eX- pected that when it subsidies reports will show that a large number of small craft were lost, as the storm came up suddenly and almost without warning. Many of the regular boats were out when the storm came upon them. The loss of life was undoubtedly consider able, though no definite estimate can be made yet

 "No, he don't, !" was the contemptuous retort. He rowed three men in boat and then won the race. That's what he done."

Starts a Whale Dairy

A genius up at the Balena whale fisheries has, according to various re- ports, succeeded in domesticating the COW whale. The whales are not eX- actly household pets yet, but accord ing to Professor Mueller, their owner, they are very useful. Fifty of the whales come daily to little inlet and are milked, each of them giving five to seven hogsheadS a day of milk. When the adventurous Professor Muel- Ter began to experiment with COW whales he found great difficulty in persuading them to keep still while being milked. The whales could not understand the professor. But they like good things to eat, particularly sweets. They were lured, a few at a time, into an inlet where they were fed with choice whale food. At last they were taught that no milk meant no food. And they submitted. They now stand without hitching and have never been known to put q foot in a pail while stamping to keep off the fies.-New York Tribune.

Ivy poisoning is so distressing and
most people are so easily affected that
we willingly give space to these ac-
counts of the plants and to the RENE
dies. The following from the Country
Gentleman gives some additional in

Remedies for Ivy Poisoning.
Make a strong solution of sugar

when cool, with soft linen dipped in
the solution, bathe the affected sur

apply bandages saturated with the
solution, which, if convenient. need

When there is no abrasion of the
skin, a paste of gunpOwder and
whisky may be effective. Pour water
over unSlaked lime, STIR and let stand
an hour. Continued applications will
sometimes greatly relieve.
What is efficaciOus for one person
cannot always be relied on for
another The following remedies have
proved efficaciOus:
The inner bark of the common elder

pOultices of bruised bean or plantain
leaves; applications of raw sliced
onion; bOraX water, etc.
Diluted brOmO-chlOralum cured a
very bad case. A slice of bread sat
urated with hot water and sprinkled
with soda, another. A farm lad who
was in our employ was very badly
poisoned on his lower eXtremities, and
was cured by applications of soft
soap.
AS soon as the poison manifests
itself, painting around the spot with
a feather dipped in iodine may arrest
the spread. Why suffer the pain,
intOlerable itching and smarting. when
such an array of tested remedies are
accessible?

Handle With Care.

RhuS tOXicOdendrOn, commonly cal
led ''pOisOn ivy" is quite abundant
i'm many parts of the state. Rhus
sumac'' or poison dOgwood' is said
to grow in Florida though we have
never seen it. AS the latter is only
found i'm swamps it is not so danger
Ous as the poison ivy which climbs
over fences and trees on dry land.
Besides the remedies mentioned be-
low you will find that common baking
soda, found in almost every kitchen,
is about as good as anything and has
the advantage of being always at hand
when needed. The last is important
for the sooner the remedy is applied.
after touching the vine, the better
the effect.
The Indiana Farmer says: So long
as the present fad for nature study
holds its interest, it is well to remem-
Der that all is not gold that glitters,
and that among the luXuriant under
grOwths of our favOrite pathway may
lurk plant enemies that it is not safe
to ignore. Principally these that take
the form of invidiOus ivy and subtle
sumac. which we must give due rec
OgnitiOn lest we suffer the cOnse-
quence.
After lOng. warm walk, it is very
refreshing to drop down on some moss
covered log Overhung with luXuriant
vines that will afford us welcome
shelter from the hot sun, but when,
as a result of such performance,
i'm the course of few days, our hands
and faces become masses of infiamed
flesh, and our eyelids are so swollen
that they will not admit the light of
day we begin to wish that our
knowledge of plant life was a bit eX-
tenSive. and that we had. in the days
of our youth. ''read up on the nature
and appearance of our poisonous
neighbOrs. and learned to discriminate
between the just and the unjust.
1t has been said that the poison ivy
is more ''tOuchy'' i'm the spring and
early summer. when it is full of fresh
young blood. However this may be.
/ have seen severe cases of poisoning
late in the summer and fall, and even
the dry winter branches can get in
some very effective work upon Oc-
casion. hence it is not safe to assume
that any season is immune.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
poison ivy is common growth and
many persons suffer from its contact.
it is an enemy that one can easily
avoid. for it openly faunts its dis
tinguishing ''hall marks by which we
can identify it. 1t has been mistaken
by careless observers for the luXuriant
Virginia creeper or wOOdbine so COM
mon in all sections. an error for which
neither the wOOdbine nor ivy is re
spOnsible. for they are quite unlike
i'm their appearance. though fond of
similar habitat. both loving to climb
to the top of any tall tree that will
permit the familiarity. The wood
bine however. hangs on by means of
numerous greeniSh tendrilS. while the
ivy clings tightly and secures firmer
hold by throwing out aerial rOOtlets
which burrow deep into the rough
bark.
The most noticeable difference lies
in the arrangement of the leaflets;
