MARRIAGE RITES IN ARMENIA

Constantinople, Turkey.-Cupid has
little chance in Armenia, where young
women are closely secluded and kept
away from all social intercourse with
young men, From the time of her
birth the life of the Armenian girl Is
regulated by her parents, even to the
arrangements for her marriage and
the choosing Of husband for her, and
SO closely is she watched that love
affairs before marriage are unknown,
and. indeed, as she is never allowed
to see man outside of her own fam

to play any tricks on susceptible
hearts.

"Preventing Poison Ivy"

recent issue of The Caucasian an |
article was printed ON how to prevent
poison Ivey from taking effect on the |
system. One Of the subscribers to
this paper, Mr.. c. J. Jenkins, of Fair
view, took issue with it and said the
remedy suggested would not always
work. The article was furnished by
a member of the Board of Health
and the following reply to Mr.. Jen-
kins is written by the same party:
I'm a recent issue of The Caucas-
ion attention was called to the dan
ger of poison ivy, Cor poison oak as
it is sometimes called). 1t was sug-
gested that If, after coming into con-
tact with poison ivy, one would has
ten to teh nearest stream and wash,
using fine sand and mud for SOAP"
that it would usually" accomplish
the desired results, in other words
present poison. Note the word
usually"
In regard to this a subscriber from
Buncombe County writes as follows:
Il was surveying on the side of
steep mountain, and slipped, and in
grabbing for support 1 observed that
l had grappled with ivy, 80 down at
the foot of the hill I washed with
mud and sand, and on going to dim
ner | further washed with hot water
and soap, with the result that in two
days, not only my hands were swollen
to a puff, but my face Also"
Now it is to be regretted that the
writer did not state how much time
elapsed between the time that he
touched the ivy and the time he
washed at the foot Of the hill
Ordinarily the effects of poison ivy
can usually be avoided If the washing
with stand, mud, and water is per-
I formed Immediately, Or within few
minutes. In the article referred to,
it was suggested that after coming in
contact with poison ivy one should
'shasten to the nearest stream and
wash. using fine sand and mud for
SOAP And concluded by stating
that this method usually accom-
plish the desired results"
! Now it should also be borne in
mind that poison ivy can more read
ily have it's effect, If the person com
ing in contact with the ivy has the
pores of his skin open, as for instance
when he is perspiring freely. In
such cases it is very essential that
the washing process be APPLIED vigor-
ously and at once.
: 1t might also be noted that poison
ivy affects some people more than II
does others. 1t has been observed
for instance, that as a rule. poison
. ivy affects blondes more readily thar
;, brunettes, and for people easily al
;. fected by poison ivy, it might be wei
if besides washing, they appilee
