THE DEADLY AMANITA.
How to Distinguish Between the
Mushroom and the ToadstOol.


OF the Agarcini family there is one sub
division that contains many toadstools
that are deadly poisonous, and IL is well 10
be made acquainted with these in the very
beginning. This subdivision is known as
the amanita. 1t is the most beautiful. the
most insdions and the most deadly of all
toadstoois, and should be summed with
horror. The amanii9 always have volva
or sheath around the stem a or in the sur
face Of the ground; when this or remnants
OF it are found upon any toadstool it
should be discarded, unless the finder is
sure of the ability To discriminate be-
tween the edibl and non-edIble ANA
nit4. 1t is well TO say just here that
there are not a great many men in the
United States with this ability. as the sci
ence of myc0logy is not as generally pur-
sued with us as with some Of the older
peOrles OF Europe. In my excursion with
Captain Mcllvaine we came upon several
beautiful specimens of the deadly amanita,
and | have photographed two. These are
the amanit2 bulbOsi. One is full-gr0w wn
fungus, showing part OF the veil or ring
and part of the :volva. The other is only
partly grown, and shows the volva rup-
tured. from which the toadstool has
sprung with the veil or ring unh broken and
under the head of the cap. These were
found on the edge OF road through the
woods. They were pearly white on top,
the top looking as if it had been powdered.
The gills also were white, and the white
ness Of the stems slightly discolored with
yellow.
The great danger from amanitB is due to
the fact that TO an uDinfOrmed or unob-
servant person they resem Dle the common
mushrooms. A very little knowledge would
enable any intelligent person not hands
cap ed with an undue amount of cocksure
conceit to discriminate between the aman-
it@ and the common mushroom. The COM
mon mushroom is purple-spored with
pinkish gills in early youth. which increase
in depth of cnlor as the spores ripen to
heavy purplish-black. All of the amanita
are white spored and have white gils.
And. furthermore, the habitats OF these
two agarics are quite different. The CON-
mon mushroom always grows in the open;
on the other hand, the amaniia always
grows in the depth or on the edge of tim
Der lands. Captain McIlvaine tells me
that he has never found the amanita in
open fields or meadows. Any one ambi-
tiious to test the merits of toadstools would
do well to take note of the characteristics
of the amanita at once. Other toadstools
sometimes con taiR minor poisons the
amanita contains a dangerous poisOn-iC

 pointed 10 Nominate Officers.
 A largely attended and unusually enthu- siastio meeting of the New Haven Yacht club was held at the New Haven house last evening. In the absence of the commodore Vice Commodore Holcomb presided. The reports from the entertainment, regatta and other committees were received, as were also the reports of the trustees and treasurer. The report of the latter showed that the finances of the club were in 6 most satisfactory condition and also gave positive assurance that at the annual meet ing of the club, which will be held in the evening of the second Wednesday in March, the small bonded indebtedness of the club would be totally wiped out. A committee of three, consisting of W. W. Price, E. F. Mansfield and D. H. Goodridge, was ap- pointed to nominate officers for the ensu- ing year and report at the annual meeting of the club.
 Perhaps the most important business uAASn osIno oeiotc tue moetlnR was the discussion as to the site for the club house. A number of sites were suggested, among which were sites at Long wharf and at the foot ot Hamilton street on the bulkhead of Ssrgent's property. The latter was decided preferable by the members of the commit tee to which the matter was referred, and the club practically decided to secure the location. Hamilton street now extends almost out to the end of the sea wall, and by the time the club house could be moved the filling in process will have extended the street to that point. The en- trance to the house can be had from the street very easily, as one aide of the house will be directly on the street.

Then the subject of the evening, "Nsw Problems and New Movements in the Field of Higher Education," was taken up, Mr. Hale being the first speaker.
 Universities, he said, should give their teachers more leisure from teaching and examinations and better incentive to and opportunity for study and growth. The second key word was research. Few minds there are that cannot excel if they concen trate on point sufficiently small. The third key-word was freedom. Shallow and bad ideas have died. The strong have always struck deeper root.
 Bishop Keene received 6 most fatterinR reception. Referring to Dr. Hale's words he eaid:
 "There was not word in his address to | which must not say smen. I firmly be- lieve, as one who believes in American in stitutions, that our educational institutions I ought to have freedom, but not license. The great aim must be character. Not merely to produce calculators, but men. l Human nature Is true, and every system
 that does not square with human nature
 is false. I am sorry for the religion that is afraid to look into the past or face every

The Remenyi Concert company, headed by the famous violtnist, Edward Remenyi will give grand concert tomorrow evening. The New York Times says: Mr. Remenyi made a very great success. His selection of Godard's con certo showed preference for the old notion of @ concerto as a display for the exhibition of vtrtuosty, rather than piece of music in which the solo instrument merely takes the les ding part. Nevertheless, it is an admirable vehicle for the exhibition of violin playing, and showed all the qualities of the violinist from a fine and flowing cantabile and 6 remarkable variety and effectiveness of phrasing to tricks of forte and piano. Whatever else may be said of it, 1t has not in Remenyi's hands, @ dull moment.
