The man who said, (but yesterday q am resigned and die for Ireland" :" Left to the world words to stay, For If he did err? Cor his command } The words thus spoken by this lone
 man,
 Will come home to every true loyal
 heart.
 As with pity we think (for think. we
 can.l
 And may God help us to do our part. Were we called upon suddenly today To give up sour life, or lay 1t down, For the cause of our own country, Would we meet all bravely or frown The man who died bravely yesterday. Leaving these words. (his final fare-
 wen,)
 Leaves to each new courage to say, T would die for my country though
 be in cell." Let no unkind words of him be spoken For there is one judge who judgeth all;
 To Him above, all hearts, all lives are
 open,
 And His charity now recall. Then we will each His goodness see, The one who died for us all! For Sir Roger Easement have charity, Shed tear and gently let the curtain fall.

THE ENGLISH MARKETS.

! (From the New York Spectator.)
 In our selection from English papers (received by the ship Im- porter from Liverpooll. we have con- fined ourselves principally to articles in relation to the English markets. The great alarm ony account of the shortage of crops in iEng1and, which prevailed at Iiverpookwhen the Har- lequin sailed, had in al great measure subsided. The weather had become fine and 1t was supposed that the farmers would yet generally realize from two-thtrds to three% fourths of the usual crops.
 The harvest In various parts of Europe had been universally product i've, and measures have been adopted in England to secure sufficient sup ply. We have very little doubt that the prics of wheat and flour in Lon don and Llvsrpool by the middle of next month. than 1t is now, or will then be, In this city,
 The crops in Ireland are' better than ha dbeen supposed and less injured by rain. The distillers inj Dublin and Cork had been forbidden iby the gov ernment to distil grain; but on the l7th of October (the apprehension of great scarcity having subsided) an oracial notice Twas issued permitting the distillsrs to proceed
 We understand that by this ar rival, several of our merchants have received orders to purchase flour, but that they arc limited as to the price, to $1o. which Is S1.6o below the pres ent market price in this city.

Philadelphia management consented
 to sell him to Boston, the Braves then
 being the worlds champions. Sherwood had wanted all his life to
 be with a pennant-winning outfit, and
 he was just about tea-kettled to death
 when the news was broke to him that
 he was to became a Brave. At last I am with a pennant win ner and a worlds champion club" chortled Sherwood to the reporters You may rest assured that I will play
 better ball in Boston than have ever
 played in my life. because my ambition has been realized"
 Them were Sherwood's exact words, as reported in the veracious press at the time. An, bitter is the irony of fate! Bos- ton could not repeat, and the humble Phillies. as soon as Sherwood had left
 them, began to play like champions. and brought home the worlds series

 an average of .2s1 last year as com pared with '.314 in his last year with

 There's a moral lurking somewhere in this story of Magee's career, but you may dope it out for yourself.

BAD YEAR.
 FOR MACEES

This seems to be bad year for the Magee tribe. Old Sherwood Magee, of the Braves, has been swatting way under his Philadelphia form, and young Lee Magee, of the Tanks, has fallen considerably short of what was expected of him in the way of stick work. Incidentally, Sherwood and Lee are not related. for the former is Q bona fide Magee. while Lee is an inn postor, his real name being Hoernsch- meyer or something like that.
 Sherwood will be thirty-two years old tomorrow. Clarendon, Pa., is his native town, and he jumped into the big league straight from the semi-pro ranks. In 1909 he played great ball with semi-professional clubs in Allen town and Carlisle, and was offered a berth with Little Rock, but he deoid- ed to pass up the Arkansas metropolis. He joined the Phillies in 1904 and was a regular in the outer garden of that club until he was sold to Boston at the close of the 1914 season. Magee was then flirting with the Feds, and, in order to save. him to O.. B., the

REMEDIES FOR
 IVY POISONING

Direct contact with the poison ivy plant is not always necessary to pro- duce poisoning, as the poison may be transferred from clothing, gloves, and implements, also from towels used by those, who have been in contact with the plant. When there is req son to believe that there has been ex- posture to the poison, repeated wash ing with warm water and strongly al- kaline soap as soon as possible is ada Hisable.
 There is no one remedy that will cure all cases of ivy poisoning, and in severe cases a physician should be consulted. Specialists of the depart ment have found the following meth ods and formulas useful in many ca ses. At the outset removal of the cause of the irritation may be ac- complished by cleansing the inf1amed surface repeatedly with alcohol, or with a saturated solution of sugar of lead in alcohol, using a fresh bit of lint or absorbent cotton each time, to avoid spreading the irritant. The sugar of lead solution can not be used over extensive areas because of risk of lead poisoning. Covering the in- famed parts with lint or absorbent cotton kept constantly moist with limewater or with a saturated solu- ton of bicarbonate of soda will afford relief. When this can not be used, a simple ointment, such as zinc oxide ointment, is recommended. A solu- ton containing 1 ounce of fluid ex- tract of grindelia to 1 pint of water applied on cloths and allowed to evaporate may afford relief. Black wash, prepared by adding 1 dram of calomel to 1 pint of limewater, may be applied two or three times a day, allowed to dry, and followed by zinc oxide ointment. This treatment must be used with caution in extensive ca ses because of the possibility of mer- cury poisoning. The acute inf1am- nation of ivy poisoning is sometimes followed by eczema and secondary in- fections of the skin, which. in mild cases, will yield readily to treatment with bland antiseptic ointments. A formula highly recommended for ivy poisoning and often especially help full at this stage is the following:
 Carbolic acid, 2 grams.
 Resorein, 2 grams. -
 Rismuth subgallate, grams.
 Equal parts water and limewater to make, 250 c. c.
 This solution may be dabbed on the affected parts several times a day.
