gushing them from toadstOols-yiz., eat

lis not now operative.
It's poor mushroom gatherer who
does not know the difference. The top Of
the young mushroom is white, the under
portion loose and lighter. AS it natures
the top changes to a brown color and the
under part to a dark red. The stem,
which is white and round when young,
also grows dark with age. Eatabl-
mushrooms have pleasant odor and are
never Shiny. A test proposed is to sprin-
kle salt on the under side or spongy part
and give it time to act. If it turns black
the mushroom is good; if yellow, the
toadstool is poisonous. Lewiston Jour.

mr. W II. tosey mas been suffering
from severe attack Of iaundice with
other troublesome complications. He
grew worse and worse until his friends
lost all hope Of his recovery. His broth
er, Dr. Posey, was sent for. Indiscretion
in diet brought on commissions, and to
all appearances he died His breathing
ceased, his pulse stopped, and his brother
turned away and said it was all over.
Then DR.. Hill proposed to inject nitro
glycerine into his arm. If he was dead it
could do no harm. He did so, and in
few minutes the heart began to beat, the
lungs TO respire and the pulse to throb.
and he was again live man The
jaundice is now under control, and there
is every prospect Of Mr.. Posey's recov-
cry. Of course, the nitro-glycerine could
not arrest death under all circumstances.
In this case the cause Of death was heart
failure, and the powerful medicine re-
stored its actiaE.
But for this Mr.. Posey would now be
dead ran Those who were present
say the effect was wonderful. DR.. Hill
used this remedy once before st. Louis

A man hastily entered La Sale street
bank recently and, approaching tener's
window, carelessly threw down a check
with the remark, 81 would like to de-
post that; please credit the amount TO

check and wiuked very hard and vigor-

called for 1853 900, and bore the signature
Of one of the most powerful syndicates
In this country. 1t was accepted with
out a word, and the depositor left the
bank within one minute of the time he
entered it.
A few weeks ago middle aged woman,
carrying a small sachel, entered down
town bank and said to a teller that she
would like TO make deposit.
"We can't open an account with you"
said the young man behind tie window,
"unless you make some arrangement
with the cashier personally. l can give
you a certificate of deposit, however"

Poison by Absorption.

The slow absorption of many poisons
changes in some more or less modified
form the complexion, but arsenic and am
monia show their effect about as quickly
as any, The popular belief that arsenic
clears the complexion has led many silly
women to kill themselves with it in
small, continued doses.
1t produces a waxy, ivoryhke appear
ance Of the skin during a certain stage
of the poisoning, but its terrible after
effects have become too well known to
make it of common use as a cosmetic.
The effects of ammonia upon the com.
plexion are directly opposite from that
of arsenic. The first symptoms Of am
monia poisoning which appears among
those who work in ammonia factories is
q discoloration of the skin of the nose
and forehead. This gradually extends
over the face, until the complexion has
stained blotched and unsightly appear
ance With people who take ammonia
into their systems in smaller doses, as
with their water and food, these strik-
ing symptoms do not appear so soon.
The only effect Of the poison that is Wis
ible for time is a general unwholesome-
ness and sallowness Of the complexion

a woMAN's LOVE SONG.

With jubilant, merry laughter and ringing and
joyous song,
One came, and my life thereafter grew strangely
brave and strong.
And yet it was but the ringing Of loves sweet
challenge bell,
And the sound of his low voice singing the call
that be knows 50 well
The sky, with It's sunlight golden, bent down to
the azure sea,
When the music, sweet aId olden was Of my soul
made free
And bright as the blossoms freighting the or
chard's shaded ways
Was the radiant glory waiting my path through
the summer days
The face of my love is tender the voice of my
love Is sweet,
And his soul to mine will render the measure love
should mete
Though rough is the garb he is wearing, and hard
with toll his hand,
The road where his steps are faring for me is best
in the land
know that LIES stormy places are many and
yet know
The light of its heavenly spaces will follow me
where shall go;
For ike to the ivy chnging about the crumbling
wall
Is the clasp of love swift springing to answer a
lovers call
And out from the surging masses OF earth's man
hood came my knight
To where amid blossoms and grasses, / stood in
the morning light;
Stood watching for one whose loving would bring
10 my waiting life
The glory and gladness proving how regal the
name Of wife
And now in the radiant weather, aglow with
beauty and light,
We face hfe's pathway together, and give no
thought to the night.

Among the pretty and sensible articles
that may be fashioned for Christmas at
little cost is a set of drawers for but
tons, hooks and eyes, etc. Six small pa
per boxes with drawers are used for
them Tinted boxes covered with MORE
paper are the prettiest, and they may be
bought for a trife. The boxes should be
about two and half inches long and
one and one-half inches wide and an
inch deep; the exact size used is imlna-
terial The boxes are fastened together
in two tiers of three drawers each, and
then the two sets of drawers are fastened
together side by side
For handles one box has shoe button
sewed stoutly to the middle of the box;
one a small nursery pin; the next a hook
and eye, and the remaining two boxes
white buttons Of porcelain that are used
on underclothing A ribbon of satin,
the width of the set when fastened to-
gether, is passed around the boxes and
tied in pretty bow that covers the top.

ceptable contribution to any work bas-
ket, however dainty, and is more con-
venient than button bag New York

The Notices Are All Rirht.

Visitors to the clerks Office of the su-
perior court who have occasion to use
the writing table that stretches across
the room have been startled recently by
large placards tackled about two feet
apart informing whom it may con
Germ that "these inkstands must not
be taken away" Since "these ink
stands" are aoout the size Of the average
hat, and are kept filled with ink, the
warning seems quite as gratuitous as It
would be to placard notices to people not
to walk off with red hot stove.
a lawyer who took offense at these
notices got one of the Office veterans IN
a corner the other day and asked him Il
he did not think such notice was car
rying joke perilously far. The veteran
shook his head, and in saddened tones
thus answered:

Of making steel rails into pit props and

Incubation bY WhoIesaln.

A Uldah man, the owner of three

idea of turning the building into a mann
moth incubator for the Matching Of
chickens, In a few weeks he had the
place in condition, and the furnace was
set to work on a setting Of 5000 eggs At
the expense Of a cord and half Of wood
between 800 and 1900 chickens were
chirping in the hop house at the end of
the period of incubation, This is not a
very good average for a first class incu-
bator, but it is thought that with the ex-
ercise Of mora care better results can be
obtained The Udah man has given
evidence Of bis faith in the practicability
Of the scheme by setting second hatch

BILE link between two mighty factors in
the English book trade Bohn started
in business with s., 900, and shortly there
after he borrowed $1,000 from a friend
who had every confidence in his integri-

hand bookseller, but soon engaged in
publication, taking up what is called the
remainder" trade and devoting all his
energy to it. Presently, however, he de-
vised his scheme for publishing libra

Quoted so conscientiously and well as to
achieve success speedily.
His example has been initiated by
many publishers of this time. In the

many of his publications years ago, par

woman,s Greatest Danger.

The great element Of danger with wo-
mans progress before the public lies in
this fact: that it takes women away
from home who ought to be there and
nowhere else. The public platform is
no place for mother who has either
Sons or daughters to educate. If WON
ans progress is going TO tend in that di-
rection, then the sooner that advance
ment stops the better. The first thought
of wife or mother should be her
home; all things, no matter how inn
portant, are secondary to that No mat
ter how rampant may become certain
public evils, let her see to it that she
keeps the evils out Of her home and she
performs her greatest duty to her God,
her family and mankind Edward ".

to say, the martyrs of that horrid diet

Most people let their pianos go until
the ear cannot tolerate them, but piano
requires constant attention, and where
the changes of the season are marked
ought to be tuned at least four times 3
year. Where the tuning is occasional
and not regular, either the spring after
the fires are extinguished, or the early
winter, after they are well under way, Is
the best time for tuning, for then the
piano is least subject to climatic changes.
