Sweet Fern Cure for Ivy Poison

We have found that the common
sweet fern which grows in every old
pasture lot in New England makes a
tea which will relieve the itch and
pain OF poison ivy poisoning within an
hour or two. We simply pick the
fresh leaves and boil them so as to
make strong tea, strain it, and use
the cool tea to battle the poisoned
place, in cases of severe poison moist
ening a cloth and laying it on the
place.
This recipe is SO simple and so
readily available to everybody and
so prompt in its action that it cannot
be given too much publicity.-New
York Times.

Moon Regarded as a Deity.

Among the early peoples of
Mesopotamia all of the heavenly
bodies were regarded as deities, but
the moon, because of the variety of
the shapes which it assumes, was the
chief of them all. Special reverence
was therefore paid it and some of the
Oldest and most important of the
Babylonian temples, as at Ur and
Haran, were devoted to it's worship
Thus the crescent. the symbol by
which the moon god was represented
was supposed to have the power to
avert evil, and then together with the
star 1t formed the word for incanta-
ton.

"Rrst curen In Ennland.

Sleep and be beautiful. Rest and
preserve your charmsl" That is what
wise Englishwomen are saying to
themselves nowadays and what they
are doing most religiously. Many
make point of lying down for half
an hour before luncheon and before
dinner, or after eating, if it suits them
better, on couch heaped with cush-
ions. And to make the rest sweet the
cushions are filled with fragrant herbs
and flower petals. Some very dainty
women have cushions packed with
rose leaves. Lavender tops are used,
too, and pine needles, which have al
ways been famed as sleep inducers.
Some women insist that hops, loosely
stuffed in the cushion covers, are the
best thing to make one drowsy.

Vocation.

Every man has his own vocation.
There is one direction in which all
space is open to him. He has facul-
ties silently inviting him thither to
endless exertion. He is like ship in
a river; he runs against distractions
on every side but one; and on that
side all obstruction is taken away, and
he sweeps serenely over a deepening
channel into an infinite sea.-Ralph
Waldo Emerson.
