in the restaurant, and everybody, too,
must consider them "fast," to say the

"Do you always burn brandy in
your coffee and smoke cigarettes and

"Oh, mercy, mol" the elder lady re-
piled. "Such a thing would be mon

The simplest way is the best.

The noted ex-Knight of Labor,
Thomas Barry. is perfecting the plans
for new secret organization, the
principles of which, as far as at
present evolved, is to repeat all the
charges SO frequently made against
the Powderly administration, and will
demand the eight hour day, the aboli-
ton of child labor, the regulation of
female labor, manual training, and
factory and store inspection.
1t will denounce the alleged antag-
onism of the K. of L. to trades unions.
and particularly the intolerance of
the knights to members of the feder-
alton of labor. Unlike the Knights,
the new organization will not debar
from membership the federations.
The declaration will charge that the
Knights are too largely composed of
Irish and Americans. The new or.
ganization will aim to be cosmopoli-
tan. Individual local assemblies will
be independent, acknowledge no gen.
eral executive board, and pay no tri-
butte to general officers, but keep the
money at home for use in the struggle
for the eight hour day. 80
The organization is to be secret in
the same sense as the Knights of La
bor, but it is intended that there
shall be open meetings for the pur-
pose OF discussing political questions.

Indeed, the chief distinguishing fea-

the active interest it will take in poll
tics, and for this purpose the order will
use either the Democrats or Republi-
cans, as the locality or other eircum-
stances may demand.

''Four boys and girl"

Because, sir, the other tenants would

How to Test q Mushroom.

The mycophagist selects from wood or
field a specimen of toadstool which by
its external appearance extends an invi-
tation to try it. Hard, dry, leathery,
fetid, Shiny, or decomposing ones are
left rgidly aIone-as they should be.
Carefully removing the fungus from its
habitation, and after noting its botanical
characteristics, sman piece is tasted
raw; If it is nauseous, it is thrown away
and branded as non-edible; if it is hot,
acrid, or bitter, small piece is cooked
without seasoning; if it retains any dis
agreeable qualities over the Goals, it is
branded in like manner; if it loses them
all, larger pieces are cooked and eaten
until the kind either gives signs Of nox-
ious qualities or proves to be harmless.
If the specimen is mild and pleasant to
the taste "a small piece both raw and
cooked, the same care is observed until
full meal is eaten; and 1t is very neces-
sary that it should be; for in one family
of gill bearing toadstools-the Amanita
no sign either cooked or raw is given
of its deadly properties. This is the only
family to which deaths have been traced
and the botanical characteristics of its
members must be thoroughly mastered.
There is no other method Of testing that
is safe. Charms of salt and silver are as
useless as the romances of the fortune
teller, and even worse; for, if believed
in, they inspire a confidence that leads
directly to serious results. Nc

Employed-New Processes.
It is said that physicians Of Elizabeth,
n. j., have attributed the death of a
prominent Son of Temperance of that
city to lead poisoning, caused by drink
ing temperance beverages out of bottles
which have been cleansed by the use Of
shot. The theory is that the rafting of
shot III the bottles has caused the lead
from which the shot is made to adhere to
the glass and subsequently, to be taken up
BY the liquid when the bottles are re-
filled. There arc probably few old
fashioned bottlers who clean not only
temperance drink bottles, but also wine
bottles. with shot: but that is not the
practice in the latest approved bottling
establishments. There is one in South
Fifth avenue where 5000 bottles are
cleaned every day, and thoroughly
cleaned without the use Of shot.
Ordinary root beer and sa-Saparilla
bottles are easily cleaned because the
material used in them is readily and
quickly soluble in cold water. The bot
ties are dumped, throavup, into big tub
of clean cold water, which Is kept clean
by constant replenishment. Each bottle
is quickly flied and allowed to soak a
short time. Then the cleaner grasps
