How to Get Bid of Pre- iudicea.

There is nothing like getting well
acquainted to knock erroneous notions
out of peoples minds. At least two
thirds of the complications of the past
which led to serious disagreement, If
not to open hostility. have been trace
able to the differences due to distance
and lack of close intercourse. Modern
methods, which by means of steam.
ship and cable lines are bringing
everybody into touch, are steadily do
ing away with causes of misunder-
standing. Intelligent and unbiased
men and women, no matter what their
own beliefs, POLITICAL religious and
social, who travel about the world and
learn to know the natives OF other re.
gions, have most of their prejudices
removed and find that there is a great
common humanity where all can meet
on fairly equal terms.

What Great Writers Work For.

H. M. Alden, in Harper's. Such a

their own generation is no security for
their hold up~~ posterity. In present

OF the future. II may be that hereafter

THOUGHT HIM A GUEST, TOO.
orummer's Query Quite Natural, IN

A story is told by q drummer Of
North Dakota this last winter. He
arrived late In the evening, and, al
though the weather was intensely
cold, there was but one fire, and that
was In the office. After vainly shiver-
ing over the diminutive stove, he con-
cluded he would go to bed and get
warm. As the landlord conducted
him through the dark and cold hall,
he inquired IL there were any warm
rooms, and in answer was ushered
into room into which there never
had been a fire, but which had one
little window, on which was storm
sash with no ventilator. Il calculate
this will fill the bill, as there can't no
cold git in it, said the landlord, de-
posting the smoky lamp on the only
piece of furniture in the room. After
spreading his overcoat on the bed,
the drummer. with all his clothes on
except his shoes, crawled between the
icy sheets, where he shivered till
morning. Going downstairs, he
found the landlord nur' mIas .ckly
blaze in the wheezy lipnges INC and
with his teeth chattersnget her drum

rub some life into his hands, when
farmer, who mad driven 20 miles
across the country, came in. He
was covered with frost and the icicles
hung down from his mustache and
beard Eyeing him curiously for
awhile, the drummer exclaimed:
Which room did you sleep in last
night?"

War Bills.

War is not only hell, as Gen. Sher-
man said, but it is an expensive hell.
The world is to-day paying for the
cost of two recent and highly expen-
sive wars, and yet some persons won
der where all the money goes. The

not counting the many millions which
Germany is still paying out in south
west Africa, the stupendous total OF
$4,000, 000, 900 was expended. A large
part of this may be set down as utter
waste of capital.

USES FOR POISON IVY.
Dreaded Weed Is by No Means Utterly
Without Merit.

There are few summer boarders in
the eastern part of America who are
not familiar with the common poison
ivy-its sinister three-fingered leaves
creeping alongside the harmless FIVE
fingered woodbine or Virginia creeper.
Some persons are immune, and may
pick the leaves at will, but others are
so susceptible that the wind will carry
the poisonous vapor and bring discom-
fort without contact with the plant
itself.
Cows and horses feed with impunity
upon the vine, but it is terribly poi
sonous to dogs, producing commissions
which result in death. A volatile sub
stance which forms salts when COM
bined with alkalies has been isolated
from the leaves, known as toxico-
dendric acid. This resembles formic
acid, and is the source of the poison
ing. More interesting to the many suf-
ferers is the fact that certain cure
for the painful skin blisters is found
in solution of potassium permangan-
ate.
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, and in 1898 was used as a
medicine in Europe. Even before this,
the juice of the plant had been used
as marking ink, and is today wide-
ly employed for that purpose. 1t re-
sists soap, acids, alkalies, and bleach
ing powders. and yields only to ether.
So when the nature writer is out in
the wilds, away from stores and hui
man dwellings,, and his ink gives out,
splendid substitute may be found in
the juice of the poison ivy--which
will guarantee the physical perma-
nence of the record of his observations
If not the veracity of the facts them
selves. Another commercial use for
the juice of this plant is in the manu-
facture of a backing fluid for boots
and shoes.

When GoId-Headed Cane Was Indis

A gold-headed cane used to be con-
sidered a necessary part of the physi-
clans outfit, as Indispensable to the
profession as the medicine bag or the
general air of wisdom. In the rooms
of the London College of Physicians
there is preserved gold-topped
staff, which is famous as having been
carried by a succession of prominent
doctors whose lives extended over
period of nearly a century and half
DIR. William Macmichael has published
an account of it in quaint little
book in which the story of the various
owners and their characteristics is
told
The cane originally belonged to the
great DR.. Radcliffe of the seventeenth
century. The doctor himself rather
quick as to temper, was once treated
to biting bit of repartee. Radcliffe's
garden adjoined the grounds of Sir
Godfrey Kneller. the kings chief
painter A door in the wall made easy
communication between his majesty's
doctor and the artist, Some of the
doctors workmen, however, Uttered
up the artists beautiful flower beds
and aroused his anger. He sent word
that if the thing continued he would
have the door bricked up.
"Sir Godfrey can do what he pleases
with that door so long as he doesn't
paint it," retorted DR.. Radcliffe.

marked Sid Godfrey, when the slap at
his profession was repeated to him.
well, go tell him that III take any
thing from him but physic."
The cane passed in succession from
DR.. Radcliffe's hands to those of Mead,
Askew Pitcairn and Baltic, all ia
nous in their day and generation. OF
Baillie the following incident is told:
He was a gentle and patient physi-
clan by nature, but his immense prac-
tice and crowded hours sometimes
made him hasty with the importunate.
At one time. after listening TO a long
story of her ailments from lady who
