The Whole Science of 1t.

Two women walking along one Of
the business thoroughfares of New
York heard great shouting Of .'Extry,
extry!' and looked about to see where
all the noise was coming from. Across
the street they spied one very small
newsboy shouting with all his might.
One of the women, attracting the
boys attention, called him to her and
bought paper; then as she dropped
the pennies into the little fellows hand
she said:
you mustn't make so much noise.
my little man. You can sell your pa
pers just as well without yelling So"
For half second the boy looked up
at her in surprise, then exclaimed:
you don't understand, missus; you
have got to yell like - to make a
living i'm New York"

A Country Book Club.

In my community we have had for
several years book club, which was
managed in the following way: Be-
fore the first of the year we met at
some private house. Each member
brought $1.25 and the name of the
book she preferred. We tried to get
as many as "a members, which gave
us two books for each month in the
year, as We passed the books twice
month. There was very little red
tape: a small fine for keeping the
book over time. secretary was
about all the officer we found neces-
sary. An occasional social meeting
was an enjoyable feature. A social
meeting might be held every month
and be made pleasant and instruc-

ANOTHER REMEDY FOR POISON
IVY.

A far better remedy than sugar of
lead for poisoning by poison oak
is the juice of the Impatiens fulva,
commonly known as "lady's slipper"
'touch-me-not," snap weed" "sil-
yer leaf" etc. The plant grows along
the banks of streams, or in very wet
places, is from to 4 feet high, stem
almost translucent with very large
joints, delicate pale green leaves
which look silvery on the underside
when put in water, small yellow
flowers, seed pod snaps when touch
ed, throwing the ripe seed several
feet.
To use, mash the stem and leaves
and apply the mass to the poisoned
spot. There will be little or no
smarting. May be applied to the
face without danger to the eyes. Two
applications of to IL hours each
usually cures the worst cases.
1t will also cure snake bites, if an
