Snakes. — This is the time of year 

 when Mr. Reptile comes out of his bole to 

 bunt frogs, toads, and other delicate mor- 

 sels suitable for his famisht condition after 

 a winter's fast. Therefore, striped snakie 

 will be seen more often, grass and weeds 

 not yet being high enough to hide him. But 

 you need have no fear of him. Let bim go 

 in peace, and he will .give you a wide birth. 

 If you should take hold of him and he does 

 bite you, prompt washing in the cold creek- 

 water will make all right. 



" Oariiiii;t- .»<'«Hes.'*— How afraid 

 we used to be of thofe big flying bugs— 

 they carry a " needle and thread " to sew 

 our eyes and ears up — we were told. What 

 nonsense! They are as harmless as a kit- 

 ten. But, O how they do feed on mosquitos 

 and gnats! So you see they are ,iust the 

 friends you want around. They are very 

 pretty, too, but die in 4S hours, they say. 



PoiMoii Ivy alllicts some persous very 

 badly, while upon others it makes little or 

 no impression. Just why this is so. no one 

 knows. It is in June — when the ivy blooms 

 — that it is worse. The pollen then blows 

 all over, and persous especially susceptible 

 to this poison will be affected even if sev- 

 eral rods distant from the plants. It first 

 irritates the skin, then red. burning 

 patches form, and if on the face it some- 

 times swells and closes the eyes, like a bee- 

 sting Extract of bammamelis is very 

 soothing, and cures in a few days. 



.^lti!«Iirooiu» are said, by those who 

 know, to be poisonous. Now, in reality, 

 there is only one kind I would scarcely dare 

 eat, and that is the cardinal or "red-top " 

 mushroom, and if I were very hungry I 

 wouldn't hesitate long at that kind. too. 

 But all the kind you are likely to find— the 

 white, out in meadows, the big brown ones 



under oak trees, the sponge, around old 

 decaying stumps— yes, and the " puff 

 balls," when hard and crisp. They are all 

 excellent, cookt with your steak, or nicely 

 fried in hot butter. 



S\vallo» ("ti a Frog- 1— Well, what 

 of it ? Most likely you are mistaken, but if 

 you have, nothing serious can come of it. 

 The frog is to be pitied, as it cannot live 24 

 hours in your stomach. The acids neces- 

 sary to digestion will kill it before that 

 time if you don't vomit it up in much less 

 time. Above all. when you accidentally 

 swallow something strange— a tadpole 

 perhaps— don't be afraid or get excited. No 

 bad results can come of it. 



Kar-Wigw are said to riin into your 

 ears and go right into the brain. Nothing 

 of the kind, little girl. It simply ntii:t do 

 it. The drum of the ear won't let it pass, 

 and the bitter ear-wax makes the "wig" 

 and all other vermin and bugs glad to get 

 out of your ear. if they can. But if they 

 get stuck in there, you just pour water, a 

 little warm, into the ear until Mr. Bug is 

 washt out. Don't get excited. Keep cool. 



Spi-iioe lleer — Yes, indeed, the kind I 

 mean is splendid. Soak the twigs of black 

 or sweet birch cut fine, over night in nice 

 spring water, and the next day add a 

 pound of sugar (or more, to the taste). 

 then put in a little ginger, and the juice 

 and skin of a big lemon. Let it stand 4s 

 hours, and you'll have a delicious summer 

 drink. If you don't live where the spruce 

 grows, sassafras will do nearly as well.
