A POISONOUS PLANT.
dangers of the Deceptive Poison
Ivy.
t In Easily Mistaken for the Inno
cent Virginia Creeper and the
CareleHB Picnicker Comes
i to Grief.
' Desperate before the rashness of
youth, parents muke short work of
arguments.
"Some plants are poisonous; we can
not say In is one is not; therefore, we
decide that it is poisonous, and charge
you all to neither touch nor handle it."
The brighter and prettier the plant the
more suspicious; as if its attractions
were only meant to beguile human
jreaturcs to their ruin. The other day
I heard a reverend gentleman of books
tellinff his boys that the beautiful cat
brier 18 a deadly poison; and another
forbade the children to pick the pretty
bush honeysuckle everywhere in blos
som. Throughout years of "kidhood"
and subjection to dooryard supervision
these warnings carry weight, especially
with the girls. But the bold, bad boy
turned loose in summer Kdens picks,
eats and does not surely die. Then all
the warnings are tossed over together
Bndhecontinues a scoffer until one day,
after a debauch at the pond, lie comes
home covered from toe to crown with
the virus of sumach, humble and sore.
It would have been, after all, very
simple to teach him the truth in thebe
gintiing, for we have, in fact, only two
nutive plants in the United States
which are poisonous to the touch, and
but one of these is likely to be met
with. The one, however, is so omni
present that the terror of its name cov
ers half the lovely wild things that
ought to be our summer delight. It is
known as poison ivy, and it grows
everywhere, east and south, as well as
upon the l'ucifie slope, where it differs a
little from the eastern species. Its hab
itat as almost unlimited, but it prefers
sunny, sandy tracts, on mountains,
pasture or const. It spreads by the
roadside, perches on fence posts, where
it has Ion? reigned, just beyond the
reach of the plow; climbs trees and,
waving from their boughs, threatens
the passing carriage; slides into the
orchard among the daisies, wraps itself
about the rooks. Mercury vine is one
of its old names, and well suited to its
slippery and insidious habits, When
the picnicker in romantic groves
Btretches his tired limbs he liiids he is
lying upon a bed of ivy; he pulls him
self up a hill by a tough shrub which he
finds, to his horror, is poison vine. If
h(, kindles his fire the brush may be full
of it, and it is particularly poisonous
when burning. In order to avoid such
a pest every child ought to be taught
to recognize it.
Jlhus toxicodendron, Greek and
Otitic for red poison bush, is its name
in botany and in medicine. It is an ac
tive, acrid poison, leaving upon the skin
a crowd of minute wntcry blisters,
which may pass through several
stages of malignancy. Some persons
are never poisoned by it; others are
sometimes poisoned, and yet others
cannot even pass it In certain stages of
its growth without being affected.
Often it, results in long and painful ill
ness; in rare cases it, is fatal. One
circumstance that increases liability
to danger from it is the. variability of
its aspect; another is ils resemblance
to the Innocent Virginia creeper. Both
are freely mingled on our rondsides,
Popularly they are both vines, but
that term belongs only to the creeper;
that is strictly n vine, w ith nil the grace
and suppleness of the wild grape, to
which it, is nearly related. It has the
same long, ilngcr-like tendrils waving
seductively about to find some chance
support, and rosettes of pn'.in-shnpcd
leaves, as if a grape leaf had been cut
Into five portions set with fine saw
teeth along the edge. On the con
trary, Bhus has three leaflets, the end
one the largest and remote from the
others, nil irregularly and coarsely
toothed. No two of the leaves are just
alike. It has no tendrils, but climbs,
like English ivy, by little bristling
rootlets which sprout, all along the
main stem, and eventually cover it, like
moss. These rootlets penetrate posts
or bark of trees, and cling there no
tightly that the plant cannot be torn
off without diflicullv. N. V. Tost. '

IMPROVED TOCRIST SLEKPKB3.
Railroads Are acceding to Demands of Middle
Clauses Who Want Better Blesplng
Csr Service.
Id response to the demands of the
times the 0. R. & N. and its connections
are plnoing in operation a macb better
grade of tourist sleepers for Paoiflo Coast
service tbn at any previous time. The
largely increased trsffio to this section of
the country has demanded all the im
provements of latter day transportation,
and id consideration of this tbe railroads
are establishing a service which is ex
cellent in every particular. Not only are
the wishes of tbe first class passengers
served, bat those who are traveling to
and from tbe east oo seoood class tickets
are splendidly cared for. There was a
time when a tourist sleeper appealed to
a limited number of people wbo were
traveling on tbe "obeap" order, in every
meaning of tbe term. Now, however,
there has been a radical cbaDge. With
the better tourist sleepers in operation
the class of passengers baa been im
proved, 8Dd one may now travel upon
them and eiijoy all the privileges of a
first-class sleeper at a greatly reduoed
rate.
Daily, on tbe O. It. & N. east bmod
fast mail, is attached one of these latest
improved toarist sleepers, a model of
beauty and handsome appointments. Tbe
new cars Bre almost.an exact counterpart
of tbe first-class sleepers.
One Dotioeable feature of tbe new tour
ist oars is tbe absence of a smoking apart
ment. Tbe new oars being built by tbe
Pullman compimy are not provided with
smoking apartments. This new depart
ure bas been taken because of tbe fact
that most tbrongh trains are provided
with composite oars, wbioh provides a
smoker for tbe eeping car passengers.
The Wheat Trade.
Commercial Review
Very few wheat traosferes were m ide
last week, and from present appearances
no important trades are likely to be
made in tbe immediate future. Large
stocks are warebonsed bere, and tbe ex
porting interests have about all the
graio tbey care to carry, unless sellers
show a disposition to accept market
values. Tbe wheat on band is largely
held against future needs of tonnage
chartered ahead, and whioh must be
given prompt dispatch when at hand.
Few sellers are in tbe market at present
prices, desirable parcels of good shipping
wheat being firmly held at comparative'
ly stiff figures, and inferior grades being
without auy demand and difficult to
place at any figure. Walla Walla wheat
is coming iu freely, partly on old con
tracts, and much of it to be warehoused
here. Sinoe onr last review five vessels
cleared, with 358,002 centala of wheat,
and a number of others are loading and
will be given quiok dispatch. During
tbe week wheat sold as low as 50 o for
club and 52o for Valley. At tbe close
we quote olub, Walla Walla, 51o ; Valley,

oonsider ourselves well paid in saving of
lambs and tbe start it gave them and tbe

it least fifteen per oent more lambs than

INDIAN 8CMMER.
October winds his parting horn
O'er meadow and fallow far away,
And through the fields of ripened corn
The blackbird chants Ills virelay.
The thistle-needs are on the wing,
The milk-weed's pod Is bursting wide,
The lone cicadas drone and slug
Along the crisping couniry-side
The sumach's plume of coral-red
Is slowly changing into brown ;
The elm its yellow leaves has shed,
And duller grows the maple's crown.
The autumn zephyr sobs and sighs
As autumn winds grow bleak and bare;
A threatening gloom is in the skies,
And dark forebodings fill the air.
But lo! the Indian summer comes
With lissome grace through bower ud brake,
The drowsy cricket hears and hums,
A thousand throats the echos wake.
With bosky step she flutters by
Like some fair dryad of tbe wold,
And floods the ready earth with joy,
And fills her lap with gleaming gold !
Sha spreads a canvas o'er the plain,
And colors with artistic hand
Each?ock and grove and winding lane,
Bach hill and spire and pebble strand.
She 'broiders with a scarlet thread
The ivy on the blasted pine,
And ripening clusters overhead
She purples on the woodland vine.
Above the sky her pennon Boats,
And leaves a glamor in its Wake;
She turns the fleecy clouds to boats,
And sails them on a sapphire lake.
She tops with gilt the slender reeds
That fringe the laughing rivulet,
And strings the dogwood's crimson heads
Like jewels on a carcanet.
But winter strides upon his way,
And like a free-lance, fierce and bold,
He flings himself upon his prey,
And robs them of their shining gold.
The naked woodlands quake with fright,
And bend before his ruthless raid,
And nature sends a robe of white
To hide the havoc he has made!

Woman's Home Companion.
