Ought to Change Their Style.

When a man goes out to speak to
people he at least ought not to do
them any harm by holding up false
ideas of life and confusing young peo-
pie as tc the meaning OF success. The
commencement speaker has much to
answer for along this line. Boys and
girls have been told SO often about
about the success Of those who,
though not born great, made the most
of themselves and lived happy and use
full, thought not famous lives, they are
apt to get the wrong idea about what
success really means; and because they
can't all be president or governor,
as they are falsely told they can be,
they are apt to think that they can't
be anything. The value of education
Is dwelt upon as a means to achieve
wealth or fame or both. This is why
there is so much error as regards the
true value of education. which means
simply that each individual should be
trained or educated to use to the
greatest advantage whatever powers he
has, be they large or small. But be-
ing told that education means that a
boy will necessarily become a govern
or. or q senator or occupy some other
high place, many people have come to
think Of education only in this sense,
and SO when they see a man who has
been to college and been educated
and does no good in life, they say that
education does not pay. The COM
mencement sky-scrapers ought to get
down to their business and find what
education really is and then talk about
1t, and stop the meaningless jangle OF
words that often have more sound
than sense.-Monroe Journal.

CLEANING HAIR BRUSHES.

Valuable brushes, such as those
with ivory or tortoiseshell backs, may
be thoroughly cleansed by using bran
instead of soap and water. The bfush
is dipped into bran, which must be
rubbed into the bristles as one would
soap, and the particles may afterward
be removed by tapping the brush
bristles downward on the table. The
process rs somewhat lengthy, bat 1t
prevents the bristles from becoming
softened, as they inevitably must be
IL wetted. When every trace of bran
has been removed, the brush will be
found to be perfectly clean, and may
then be wiped with soft silk hand
kerchief.

AN EDUCATED SPARROW.
Bird Whose Accomplishments Rival
Those of a Magpie.

Monsieur Mignaud French sclent
ist, has recently complied some inter-
esting information with reference to
the musical accomplishment of spar
row in his collection of living birds.
He captured the sparrow soon after
1t had been hatched, and fed It by
hand until 1t could care for itself.
Then he placed it in cage containing
a chafinch, goldfnch and two can
aries. After time the sparrow learned
to warble like the finches and to trill
like the canaries, the limitations be-
ing 80 perfect as to deceive the ear.
In the spring M. Mignaud is accus-
toned to keep box Of crickets near
his bird-cages. Two days after the
crickets had been placed near the
cage containing the sparrow the latter
began to initiate their cry interming-
ling 1t with its songs. Even after the
crickets had long been dead the spar
row remembered its lesson and con-
tinued TO repeat their cry. None of the
other birds attempted to initiate the
crickets.
Singularly enough, the sparrow new
er utters the peculiar cqualling cry OF
its own species, having been removed
from the nest too early, apparently,
to have learned It,

When ready pour the jelly into glasses

TERROR OF SUMMER BOARDER.


There are fey- summer boarders In
the eastern part OF America who are
not familiar with the common poison
ivy-its sinister three-dngered leaves
creeping alongside the harmless five
fingered woodbine or Virginia creep
er. Some persons are immune, and
Others are so susceptible that the
wind will carry the poisonous yapor
and bring discomfort without con-
tact with the plant ITSELF.
Cows and horses feed with impu-
nifty upon the vine, but It is terribly
poisonous TO dogs, producing convul-
sions which result in death. A yola-
tile substance which forms raitJ
when combined with alkalies has
been isolated from the leaves, known
as toxicodendFic acid This resem-
bles formic acid, and is the source Of
the poisoning More Interesting to
the many sufferers is the fact that
certain cure for the painful skin
blisters is found in a solution Of po-
tassium permanganate.
This blistering effect on the skin
was taken advantage OF by old-time
doctors and administered in cases Of
skin disease. One reads that in 1910
the poison ivy was introduced into
England a-d In 1898 was used as a
medicir in Europe. Even before
this. the Juice of the plant had been
used as a marking ink, and is to-day
wildly employed for thai purpose. 1t
resists soap, acids. alkalies and
bleaching powders. and yields only
to ether. So when the nature writer
is out in the wilds. away from stores
and human dwellings, and his ink
gives out, splendid substitute may
be found in the juice OF the poison
ivy--w,ich will guarantee the physi-
cal permancnce Of the record OF his
observations--if not the veraclty OF
the facts themselves. Another COM
mercial use for the juice OF this plant
Is IN the manufacture Of a backing
fluid for boots apd shoes.-New York
