How 10 Test N Mushroom.

The mycophagist selects from wood or
field a specimen Of toadstOol which by
It's external appearance extends an invi-
tation to try it. Hard, dry. leathery.
fetid, Shiny, or deconIposing ones are
left rigidly alone-as they should be.
Carefully removing the fungus from its
habitation, and after noting its botanical
characteristics, a small piece is tasted
raw if it is nauseous, it is thrown away
and branded as non-elible; if it is hot,
acrid, or bitter, a small piece is cooked
without seasoning; If il retains any dis
agreeable qualities owe the Goals, it is
branded in like manner; If II loses them
all. larger pieces are cooked and eaten
until the kind either gives signs Of nox-
iOus qualities or proves To lie harmless.
II the specimen is mild and pleasant to
the taste Ia small pieccl both raw and
cooked, the same care Is observed until a
full meal Is eaten; and il is very neces-
sary that it should he; for in one family
of gill bearing toadstools-tho Amanit@
mt sign either cooked or raw is given
Of its deadly properties. This Is the only
family 10 which deaths have been traced,
and the botanical characteristics of its
members must be thoroughly mustered.
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

sketch Artist and Camera.

"No. | do not thinL that amateur pho
Biography is supplanting out door sketch
ing" said a well known Fulton street
dealer in artists materials a few days
since, in response to a question of a re-
porter.
"While / do not say that the converse
of that proposition is true, ! do know
for a fact that a larger number Of sketch
ing classes have gone into the country
this summer than ever before, and, as a
rule, these classes have had a very large
membership. 1t is a theory of mine,
which, l think, can be really demon
strated, that there is readily no reason
why the sketch artist and the amateur
photographer should not work in perfect
harmony, and chat the union will be
greatly To the benefit of both.
II can give you an instance" he went
on. .'where the camera has been of I'M
told service to one Of the artists on a well
known magazine. Formerly this artist,
Of more than local renown, used TO
sketch wholly from nature, but now,
when making a tour through England,
Scotland. or where he may chance to be,
he always carries his Gamer along, and
when he across a pretty lit Of
landscape, a ruined castle or anything
else he wishes To preserve, he at once
takes a negative. Thus you see that in
a few weeks time he can take hundreds
of negatives, whilemonths would be con-
sumcd on his tour if he were compelled
10 sketch each view himself. When he
reaches home lac throws the negatives
onto a piece Of cardboard, touches them
up with India ink, then in some way de-
composes the silver on the plate, leaving
the India ink drawing in its place. The
drawing is thcp photo-engraved and is
published in the magazine as a bona flde
sketch. while. in fact, il is purely a piece
of mechanical work. New York Mail

A Plant That Catches TlIos.

One sees many curious things in ma
ture, and nowhere Is there anything
stranger 30 DO found than among certain
species Of the vegetable kingdom. There
is 10 be seen in the yard Of G. l.. Stilson
a Towering curiosity. II is what is
known as a black lily. When it first
blooms it Is black, but gradually fades TO
n dark purple. IL is dubious, the same
as other members of the genus lileicea.
The flower Is something Of the shape Of a
Gala, but much larger, being some six
teen inches across the top by ten inches
In breadth. 1t Ia serrated around the
edges. The pistil emanates from a pouch
about ten inches In depth, and is itself
some fifteen inches long by nearly an
average width Of an inch, and Is perfectly
black. But the most curious thing about
the flower IL It's odor, and IL has lots OF
that. 1t is extremely offensive, smelling
like the decaying carcass Of a horse or
COW. Flies swarm about the flower.
Attracted by tho odor, they find their
way into the pouch from which the pistil
comes, and onco down in there they
nevcr get out. Itis really worth q visit
