The Dread polson Ivy. Many persons cannot stand whers

tbe breeze blows upon tbem from a polson ivy without being poisoned. There is a cure for polson of this kind, wbich Is recommended as so certain by tbose who have tried It that even the most sensitive to the e!l:ect of this' vine, need not long suf· fer discomfort. It Is simply fresh cat· nip bruised and rubbed on the erup· tlon. In very bad cases the use of a strong decoction applied bot tor at least twenty mlnntes at a time, sever· 0.1 times a day, Is recommended. One wbo bas tried it states that the rem· edy Is so simple many persons are skeptical as to its emeacy. He malu­talns be bas never known It to fall wben used. In light cases he bas chew· ed It and laid It on tbe blisters.

Anotber good remedy Is to apply a poultice made of bread orusts dipped in a tbln paste of baking soda and cold water. Bind this on for fifteen minutes and allow the skin to dry. Redip tbe crusts and repeat the pro­cess. Don·t let tbls solution touch fioors or carpets or It will ruin them.

The Time 0' Day. Strictly speaking, the word "morn­

Ing" which first meant the time of day d8:\~n and then the early part of the day, Is now confined to the time be­tween midnight and midday, or noon. But It has long been usual In society to apply the term to the whole of the day before dinner. So long ago as April 16. 1796, the Hull Adverliser gave the Information that "the Duke of Devonshire took 0. morning's ride before dinner yesterday at 7 o'clock In the afternoon." "Noon;' too, once bad a floating meaning. but Is now defi­nitely 12 midday. But at first It meant the ninth hour-that Is, 3 o'clock In the day, the time of reclling the "nomes", In the Roman Catholic church. As the hour for this office f1nctuated, so did' ,the meaning of "noon," which might be any time between midday and 3. And, finally the word aS8umed Its present limited signification. It was dinner time, the most Important moment of the day to an Engllshman.-London Chronicle.
