something late, you know-rve read

the above is the exact mental attitude
Of a large number Of persons who ars

weeks in preparing their wardrobe for
the coveted holiday and they have ar
ranged all the other details with equal
care, but for their reading-oh, just
anything to fill in the time. Well, for
few brain-fagged people perhaps that
policy is just as well, though even
those probably would be better off with
no reading at ALL But for the aver
age vacationist there is a lot of pleas

pains bestowed ON the sefecti0nam the

Credit for discovering the antidote
for bichloride poisoning belongs to DR..
]. II. Wins of Cincinnati, and the
efficiency Of the. treatment is claimed
to have been demonstrated on the low
er animals, says Washington Star. The
antidote used is calcium sulphide.
given intravenously, a grain Of cal
cium sulphide for each grain of the
bichloride taken. One grain Of cal
ctum sulphide to one ounce of water
is the strength of the solution used. It
must be boiled and filtered before
use. Following the intravenous injec-
ton, the remedy is given by the mouth.
in from one to five grain doses, every
hour until convalescence is established.
The report Of the Cincinnati board Of
health claims that the treatment has
been followed in human beings by the
happiest results, and that although
treatment should be begun at the4ear-
liest possible moment after the poison
has been taken, the result indicates,
according to the report, that recovery
may be expected to occur even after
48 hours have elapsed between the
taking of the poison and the beginning
of the treatment.

ARGENTINA LAND OF LUXURY.
South American Country Almost
Ranks In Riches With lts Great
Nelahbor. The United States.

Like the English colonies which
became our United States, the "United
Provinces of the Rio de la Plata,
declaring their independence on July
8, 1916, had to make good their as
sertions by long war. The Argen-
tine struggle lasted from 1917 to 1924.
It was not until 1912 that Spain con.
ceded to Argentina her freedom.
Having achieved liberty by their
arms the Plata provinces fell apart
AMI were not brought together until
1881, when Buenos Ayres, Entire Rios,
Corrientes and Santa Fe agreed upon
union which they invited the other
provinces to enter. Anarchy was the
answer. There was no stable govern
ment until some time after the adop-
tion of Constitution in 1858, for
Buenos Ayres repeatedly refused to
accept the document. Argentina's pres
ent prosperous estate is the work of
the last so years. Her growth may
be said to have paralleled ours since
we emerged from the wastage Of our
civil war.
How great that growth has been is
better indicated by trifling details than
by impressive statistics. In Buenos
Ayres scrubwomen get s. a day. The
fee for membership In well-known
club is $1.5O0. The membership is not
small either. Travellers leaving Buenos
Ayres sometimes Journey whole day

has a newspaper with correspondents

It receives, at the cost of heavy cable

pean eyes. His is the country of mag.
niflcent earnings-and Of equally mag
niflcent prices as we'll.
How vexed the old Spanish con.
quistadores would be were they alive
to-day at the pastoral wealth they
overlooked here. In their view the
only wealth was solid silver and gold /:
they exulted in the dross of Peru and
left the region of the La Plata I'd
shift for itself, having found that the
Parana and Paraguay rivers hid none
of the silver that the early explorers
had dreamed Of finding. But this
very neglect was Argentina's good for.
tune. Her cOlonists were left to de-
velop the country for themselves;
when the wars of the Liberation came
they found few sentimental ties tc
bind them to Spain. and they pos
sessed already the spirit Of self-helr
necessary to insure the future of their
country.

Among the statelier and proudest
Of the members of Americas flower
family, none excels the large blue flag,
which also wears the name of blue
iris and fleur-de-lis. Ruskin calls 1t
the flower of chivalry, which has q
sword for its leaf and a lily for its
heart. Longfellow pronounces 1t "a
flower born in the purple, to Joy and
pleasance." It blooms in the wet,
rich marsh and meadow from May to
July and finds its home from New
foundland and Manitoba to Florida
and Arkansas. The flag flower must
look to the insect world entirely for
Its propagation, particularly to the
bees as Its pollen carriers. So 1t puts
forth flower that is blue tinted, for
it's experience has taught 1t that Q
bee can be wooed with blue better
than with any other color.
