The Nature Of Mushroom, Poison

From the London Times.
The deaths which are frequently reported
from the consumption Of supposed edible fungi
render this question an important one. Prof.
Ponick. of Breslau, has lately made experiments
on the common mushroom, and the practical re-
suits obtained are interesting and valuable 1t
appears that all common mushrooms are poison
ous-a fact not suffic ently understood-but
cooking deprves them in greater or
less degree of their poisonous qualities.
The repeated washing with cold water
which they usually Undergo to clean them
takes away a portion of the poison, and
boiling does the rest; but the water in which
they have been boiled Is highly poisonous, and
should always be carefully disposed of. Expert
ments which Prof. POnfick made on dogs showed
that If q dog ate its own weight of raw musl,-
rooms 1t fell sick, but recovered; if it ate u
per cent the poison had a more violent but not
fatal effect, and If it ate per cent it was inevI-
tally fatal. The water in which mushrooms had
been boiled was far more poisonous than the raw
mushrooms; while the mushrooms thus boiled
could be taken without hurt to the amount of
10 per cent Of the weight of the dogs body
Washing with cold water does not remove all
the poison, SO that mushrooms thus prepared
were poisonous when taken In large quantities
Dried mushrooms are still dangerous for from
II to 20 days, and also the water in which they
have been boiled. They require to be dried for
at least o whole month, and are really only safe
after four months drying. These are important
facts to be borne In mind.

The Code at Yale.

WHAT HAPPENED TO COLLEGE EDITOR.
A telegram from New Haven, Conn, Decem-
Der 10, says: report was in circulation to-day
that the editor of one of Yale College literary
papers had been challenged to mortal combat
by one of the students who was arrested recently
for disorderly conduct at the firemen's ball, be-
cause the editor had published an article saying
that it was unfortunate that the college should
be disgraced by the acts Of half a dozen dis
orderly students.
The editor denies that challenge has been
intended by the aggrieved student and says
there was nothing of the nature of q challenge.
He declares that the whole thing is practical
crminally implicated thereby. It had been re-
ported that letter signed tx" had been sent
from Springfield demanding his presence in that
city. He had investigated the matter and
found that too practical joke which had origi-
mated entirely outside the college and had not
the slightest connection with the circumstances
of the arrests for disorderly conduct.

From the Spectator.
All women, even the ugliest, feel that beauty
Is q weapon on their side In the battle Of life;
like to see 1t exert force and when 1t is great.
and, SO to speak, beyond criticism, admire 1t
with genuine heartiness-heartiness as real as
that which men show in their admiration for
strength manifested in any conspicuous way.
1t is usual to sag women dccry beauty, but that
is a bunder. caused by stretching instances into
law. OF all decorations. the one least grudged
by men is the ''v c." and that whether the
admirers be in themselves brave or timid;
and of all sources of success, women grudge
beauty the least. They may deny it is
beauty, but if they admit it they are so far con-
tent. Let any one of the thousand cynics ROW
lOunging in London ask himself whether an
English prince who made mesalliance for
money or for beauty would be sooner forgiven.
or whether the love-match of Napoleon I'LL. was
not one main cause of that popularity with
Englishwomen which eutlasted everything but
his surrender. They thought he should have
performed the impossibil!ty of cutting his way
through" To this very hour the deep feeling
OF Englishwomen for the French empress
though founded. OF course. on pity. is greatly
assisted by the recollection among the mid
dle-aged of triumph SO conspicuous and
so visibly owing to personal charm. This
kind of female interest is universal, and
extends IN more languid degree
to the men. who find in any national apprecia-
ticn of beauty, not only the charm which springs
from kinship in taste. ut an excuse for a secret
imbecility a pOwerlessness in presence Of the
attraction. which they all resent and feel. We
wonder if, besides all this there is any residium
of the old Greek feeling that beauty was a clear
good in itself. a harmony, something which in.
Dictated that the gods or nature were not essen
TALLY and at heart hostile to man. Many artists
say so, and to judge by the extent of feeling
almost of piOus feeling, excited by the beauty OF
scenery-the positive esteem felt in England fol
Switzerland, for instance for being SC
beautiful a place-the feeling should be
general, but we doubt If it is So
If it were we should more often hear OF
the beauty of kings and men in high places, but
it is a remark never made by the most abject
cOurtier. The next prince who ascends throne
anywhere will have his praises and qualities
hymned on all the European wires. but If he
We're an Apollo or JOve, the bulletin makers
would feel instinctively that to say so would be
regarded not as aduatiOE. but as ridicu!e. 1t is
for women to be beautiful, for men to be digni-
tied-the latter credit arising from different
order of ideas. the idea of harmony between
place and appearance in the world. We should
doubt if beauty We're admired in the abstract
very consciously. but that the interest excited
by beautiful women rivals the interest excited
by beautiful scenery and this among those who
never see either, except in pictures we have nc
doubt whatever.

was terribly stormy, and, Of course. there are
many places where no more would be killed

never affected to keep up the enormous head of
game which contemporary game preservers
love, though he was warmly attached to the
sport. and would insist on going out partridge

Sulphur aS a Cure for Diphthcria.
orrespondencc.P Philadelphia Record.

COfceSpOnQence'tM Record
The following recipe for diphtheria is from an
English doctor who never lost a case when CIV
ing this treatment: "One teaspoonful OF sui
phur In wine-glass Of water. Stirwith stick,
not with metal. Use as gargle, allow some to
pass down the throat. When not possible to
use as a gargle, blow a little powdered sulphur
through quill into the throat. This gives in
slant relief"
It is now known that diphtheria Is caused by
animalcul9 just below the roots Of the tongue,
and powdered sulphur is the most powerful
agent (and least harmfuD known. Ny own
children had the diphtheria-0ne Of them
severely-growing worse under the care Of Q
good physician. suspended his medicines and
applied powdered sulphur on fiat stick q fair
pinch, the child projecting Its tongue), Just
across the lower part Of the tongue. This gave
immediate relief, and after two or three applica-
lions the child recovered.
In q large town in western New York there
was an epidemic Of diphtheria, and every case
was fatal up to the time this remedy was made
known to the people there, when only one child
died Of all those who used It. have mentioned
It to others with like results. This remedy
should be made known In districts where
diphtheria prevails.
