AMeavy diamond Robbery.



About l O'Clock this afternoon a well
dressed man entered Miles diamond par
lors, on Euclid avenue, walked deliberate

out cheap watch held it up, and said 10
Miles that he desired the spring fixed.
Miles took it, and, while examining the
watch, the fellow picked up package of
diamonds, emerads, &c, worth $4,000
or more, which was lying on the table,
and slowly walked out, leaving the watch
behind him. A few minutes afterwards
Miles missed the package, and at once
commenced a starch for it, little linking
it had been stolen from his very eyes. A
little reflection, however, convinced him
that fhe stranger had slipped the package
into bis pocket and left No clew as to
the perpetrator could be found. The
strangest part of the whole matter is
that the clerks, a half dozen in number,
were all in the room. and also n number
of customers, and still not person saw
the daring theft committed.

LAY A PAINTING PERSON Down.
1t is surprising how everybody PUSHES
at a fainting person and strives to
raise him up, and especially to keep
his head erect. There must he an in
stinctive apprehension that if a per
son seized with a fainting or other tit
fall into the rccumbent position death
is more imminent. 1 must have driven

group of friends I said: Always re-
member this fact-namelv: faintlnS
is caused by want Of blood in the BRAIN;
the heart ceases to act with sufficient
force to send the usual amount OF blood
to the brain and hence the person loses
consciousness because the function OF
the brain ceases. Restore the blood to
the brain and instantly the person re-
covers. Now, though the blood is pro-
PEELED to all parts of the body by the
action of the heart, yet it is still I'M
der the influence of the laws of gravl-
tation. In the erect position the blood
ascends to the head against gravita-
ton, and the supply to the brain is dl-
minished, as compared with the re-
cumbent position, the hearts pulsation
being equal. If, then, YOU place a per-
son sitting whose heart has nearly
ceased to beat, his brain will fail to re-
ceive blood, while if You lay him down,
with the head lower than the heart,
blood will run into the brain by the

Mushrooms.

A gentleman who has made a study
of the family of plants known &c fungi,
to which both the edible and poisonous
mushrooms belong, declares that there
is no magical way of distinguishing
good mushrooms, no infallible test to
determine hcalthful varieties, and in
fact that toad-stool eating is not as yet
an exact science. The common ideas
in regard to the dangers Of eating
mushrooms taken from damp, dark
places, those which havetlleir caps, and
those not evenly balanced with the
stem in the center, are said to be crrO-
ncolls, and, indeed, tests relating to
form, color, outward appearance and
basis Of growth are not reliable. AS q
general rule those having fctid, sickly
or pungcnt olor and Il styptic taste,
should he discarded, and those which
are agreeable to the taste when raw or
plainly cooked may he freely eaten.
lone of the most common signs OF
hurtful fungus is a singing sensation
affecting the tongue but little, the
throat and tonsils more, and having
the most effect on the stomach and
bowels" Let the mushroom absorb
fat enough. as it will when fried in
batter, to cover this singing taste, or
disguise it with spices. and the hes
safeguard is lost. In testing new or
doubtful species, evenif it hepalatable,
it is well to first eat very moderately
of it on an empty stomach, and if no
unpleasant sensations follow it may
be regarded as safe in larger quantities.
casually the nonedihlc fungus discloses
its character when broilcd; nausc-
GUS slime wceps from the stem, a
grassy and diSagrecable odor arises as
it heats, or, on being tasted, there is
no desire to take another moutllful.'
Should any error in the selection of
the mushroom occur, or should an i'll
furious variety by accident or inadvert-
encc be served with, and its presence
obscured by, Il harmless one, and
poisonous results follow, the taking of
sweet oil freely will prove the hest an
tid0te.
The dictctic value of mushrooms is
chiefly due to the large proportion OF
heterogeneous matter which makes it
possible for them in Il measure to take
the place of meat, but the proportion
of solid constituents to the whole bulk
is very small, and in fact they are as
watcry as turnips. They are actually
preferable to meat in two respects; in
the first place, because they are lack
ing in those stimulating and heating
properties which is M of the main
objections to the use of meat in sum-
mer; and in the second place, because
they furnish those salts and saccllarinC
principles which make the succulent
vegetables 50 agreeable. Parry speaks
of mushrooms as being "dificult of d.
eestion," but this will depend much
upon the method of cooking and the
skill of the cook; and, furthermore,
with them as with many other of our
foods, there are doubtless individual
idiosyncracics which prevent their
being universally admired, and the di-
g~cstive organs 0 some persons will be
disordered by mushrooms, as in others
they will be by corned beef and cab
bagc, radishes or cucumbers. - DR..
