lvN.Poison.

The poisonous ivy, Rhus toxicoden-
dren, grows plentifully in the northern
and central States, and in the course of a
season is responsible for great deal OF
discomfort and actual suffering. Those
in whose neighborhood the annoying
plant is found viii be interested in read
ing OF this method OF treating its effects
as recommended in Forest and Stream.
Since the fact has been established that
ivy-poiSoning is mainly due TO The oily
substance carried by the pollen of pois-
on-oak, ivy and sumac, men of science
have found remedy. This is the Judi
ciouS use OF soap, water and alcohol.
DR.. Thomas A. Berryhill, medical in
spector of the United States Navy, is au-
thority for this statement. When the in
lection first appears, he says, the parts
should be washed vigorously with hot
water and soap, then dried. Sometime
afterward, flushing with alcohol follows.
That is the treatment, and he says il is
very effective.
Many persons seem 10 be immune from
ivy, oak and poisoning, while
others assert that they are often poison
ed in passing close to leeward OF one OF
these plants. This is not only possible,
but probable during the warm season
when the pores OF the skin are open.
The infiniteSimal globuleS OF oil from the
plant, carried by the pollen through the
air, adhereto theexpoSed part OF the cuticle
OF human beings, and even TO their cloth
ing, in the latter case possibly TO be alb
sorbed on contact. II the oil of the ivy,
which is soluble in alcohol, is once re-
moved, and the affected parts soothed
and coated slightly with alcohol residue,
healing takes place rapidly.
Frequently persons are poisoned
through putting on sweater or a pair
OF gloves that have some time previously
been brought into contact with vine or
shrub. Doctor Berryhill gives such an
instance which is interesting. A lieu
tenant applied to him for treatment for a
rash that appeared on his hands while on
board ship far out at sea. The physician
diagnosed it as Rhus-poiSoning, improb-
able though that appeared TO be. FL
nally the lieutenant remembered that
few days before the rash appeared he
had donned clothing which he had pre-
viouSly worn while ashore on a shooting
excursion. The alcohol treatment re-
moved the ailment, and so confirmed the
doctors diagnosis.
Among many persons the belief pre-
walls that poisoning affects the blood,
and that occurrences of the malady affect
them annually. That is nonsense. The
affection is nothing more than rash, an
irritation OF the skin, but one which is
extremely painful to those who are easily
affected by it. Bathing the hands and
face with alcohol is for these persons a
possible relief from poisoning if they
have exposed themselves TO the influence
OF the plants.

Elephants Clever Workers.

An immenSee amount OF labor is accom-
plished by the clever elephants in the
Siamese timber-yards. In handling the
lumber the elephant, il has been estima-
ted, does the work of 25 men. Many OF
the big pachydems do their work with
human intelligence. They draw large
logs from distant parts OF the yard TO the
sawmill and place them without assistance
just where the men can most conveniently
adjust them to the saw. Each log has to
be lifted to platform. The elephant
firSt lifts one end to its place and then
the other end, after which he surveys il
carefully TO ascertain whether il lies just
as il should. II il does not, he continues
10 push and work il until il is exactly
right. 8
He lifts huge log by thuusting his
tuSkS under il, and when he lifts he keeps
il steady with his trunk. A big elephant
will lift in this way log that would be a
good load for 20 men.
Other elephants will at the same time
be piling up boards in square, even piles.
They survey them by the knowing look
OF the carpenter and continue TO push and
arrange until they have made the heap
perfectly square and regular.
Perhaps the most curious sight in a
Siamese Undergrad is that OF young ele-
plants learning 10 do these things. The
youngster walks alongside OF an old one
at work and learns hiS future trade by
merely looking on and observing the var-
Gus processes. After a while he feels the
STRINGS OF youthful ambition within him
and tries his own tusks upon log OF mod
crate size. He lives and learns like an
apprentice in shipyard.
Each elephant has its keeper, who,
with his family, lives close TO its stable.
The elephant is as much member OF the
keepers family as is the Irishman's pig,
"the gintleman who pays the rint." The
children play about the elephants enor-
nous legs, get under his body, and take
hold OF his trunk. When he is tired OF
them he pushes them away gently, but
never hurts them.

nComtyWe aWrgna
peaches or Pumpkins"

Every member OF the Aid Society, with
one exception, had some complaint to
make about the dry season-the black
berries drying up, the tomatoes rotting
from Sunburn, the sweet corn falling to
fill out or the scarcity of potatoes. In
fact, famine might have seemed inevita-
bic to one who listened TO the gloomy
talk. Finally, the president OF the society
turned to a small woman who had been
quilting away cheerfully but silently
through the afternoon, the one exception
to the faultfinders. Hasn't the drought
hurt your fruit and garden at all, Mrs.
Bennett ?" she asked.
"Oh, yes, mine is just about like all
the rest" was the calm reply.
"And don't you ever worry over any
thing ?" the president asked, almost inn
patiently.
Mrs. Bennett stopped quilting, laid her
thimble down, and looking round the
group of women at the quilt, answered,
"l'll tell you what cured me Of worrying.

as Aunt Martha had lived then, and I've
found her philosophy sound. In spite Of
all the late frosts and droughts, don't
believe any one of us has ever suffered

The little woman glanced with a smile
round the circle of plump, well fed
women, and then taking up her thimble.
went TO quilting again. They all laughed
rather sheepishly, and the president said,
thoughtfully:
T'd never thought OF it that way, but
it's true. Peaches or pumpkinsl' I'll
try to remember that"

THE FORD OF THE POTOMAC.

By Roy Ledden Dickinson College, Carlisle. Pa.
Upon yon cliff We pluck the flowers fair,
Above the ashes OF some fallen brave;
Could we but know what mystery sumbers there
Could we but know the glory OF that grave
Here once in days gone by were battles fought
And old Potomac's shore ran red with blood
And here both Blue and Gray the victory sought,
In strong contention strove TO cross the flood.
Upon that bright and fair September day
The warriors OF the Southland northward sped
To meet the foe in that disastrous fray,
On Mayland's field her bravest heroes bled.
With fire and hail and clash OF saber stroke,
With roaring cannon and with bursting shell,
Both North and South that day message spoke,
And thousands perished in that awful hell.
But now upon those hills the cattle Craze;
Above those oead the sunkissed wheatfields nod
And now each year we both our warriors praise,
For we are one-one in the plan OF God.
From calm Pacific's fair ambrosial strand
To rough Atlantic's windswept rocky shore
There is no strife OF arms in all this land;
United we shall be iorevermore.
Upon yon cliff we pluck the flowers fair,
Above the ashes OF some fallen brave:
Could we but know what mystery slumberS there
Could we but know the glory OF that gravel

A CUP OF Cold Water.

On the evening OF the Batlle OF CnlcK-
amauga, an Illinois regiment that had
been engaged all day was falling back
under orders. The men did not know
that they were retreating; they supposed,
on the contrary, that they were only
withdrawing for the night behind the
picket-lineS. They were in high spirits,
ready for battle again in the morning.
AS a matter of fact, the flank of their di-
vision had been turned; General Thomas
found himself obliged to change the posi-
ton of his right wing.
AS they passed an old strawstack, one
soldier called to his comrades that here
was better bed than he had in camp.
and that he was tired enough to stop.
Thinking himself well within the lines
and close to his own regiment, he stayed;
the others passed on.
He pulled straw from the stack, and
made himself good bed, when he heard
groaning. 1t was not yet dark, and he
made his way TO the place whence the
groans came. There lay Confederate
soldier-shot through both hips.
"For the love of God, cover me upp
the wounded man pleaded. He had lost
much blood, and was faint and cold.
Bringing straw, the Union soldier laid
it round him, covered him with his blank
ct, and laid straw upon that.
"Have you any water?" asked the
Southerner.
The Union soldiers canteen was a
third full; he put it to the lips OF the
wounded man.
"Are you Yank ?" the latter asked.

"And like as not the very Yank that

81 hope not. In any case, we're

"Whata pity we weren't always friends.
Yank, have you got any more OF that
water ?"
The terrible gunshot thirst was upon
him; he drank till not drop was LEFT in
the canteen. Then he said:
"Hit don't seem hardly right-two men
hat know how to be kind to one another
after sun-down, tryin' all day to blow
daylight through each other, does it,
now?"
"No, comrade, ii don't. And like as
not both Christians, too"
eyes, that's so. Like as not both
Christians. Well, you've done your best
by me. Good night"
Returning to his straw bed, the Yankee
was soon fast asleep. He was awakened
some hours later by voices and light.
In sudden fear he heard his wounded ac-
quaintance call out excitedly:
"He's right over thar He's right over
