In the Northwestern wheat Fields.

One of the most interesting events in
the Worlds Columbian Exposition was
the Northwestern tour taken by the for
eign commissioners August 23-30th to the
center of the hard wheat region of the
United States, and, as some hold. of the
world.
The party consisted not only of COM
missioners from the foreign nations, but
members of the various departments of
agriculture, and representatives of some
of the leading Continental newspapers.
The prime object of the trip was to
show these Representatives of other ma
tions the mills and the fields, to let them
see how wheat grows and is harvested
and threshed in America, and how it is
milled.
The arrangements which were planned
by Mr.. William E. Curtis of the foreign
department-the Latin-American-of the
Worlds Fair, were carried out by him in
such excellent style that the complete
object was attained; the members OF
the party learned more in the week they
were in the Northwest about the vast
food granary of America than they could
have learned by any amount of statistical
study.
The line of the trip was from Chicago
to Minneapolis and St. Paul, the north
to the Red River Valley, up the valley
the richest grain region in the world-to
Gretna, "a little place cross the boundary
line in Canada, then back to Chicago
via Fargo, the Twin Cities and Milwau-
kee.
At Larimore, North Dakota, the party
saw the cutting of grain upon an eleven
thousand acre farm, with forty-two self
binders in the field; at the Dalrymple
farm, .near Hillsboro, North Dakota,
steamss threshers were doing their swift
and saving work on farm which has id
single block over twenty-five thousans
acres. The Dalrymple farms comprisep
twenty-thousand acres.
The wonderful prairies, yellow with a
mighty harvest, the rare skill displayed
in the handling and the grinding of the
wheat for the nations, the kindly hospiN
tality bestowed upon the party, both
upon the special train of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul and the Great
Northern railroads andi all the towns
and cities where stops were made and
in fact the entire experience-were such
as to impress upon these keen-minded
men not only the unlimited resources
but the splendid friendship of America.

The Deadly Amanita.

OF the Agaricini family there is one
subdivision that contains many toad
stools that are deadlyspoisonous and it
is well to be made acquainted with these
in the very beginning. This subdivis-
ion is known as the amanita. 1t is the
most beautiful, the most insidious and
the most deadly of all toadstools, and
should be Stunned with horror. The
amanitae always have a volva or sheath
the ground; when this or remnants of
it re,found upon any toadstool it should
be discarded, unless the finder is sure of
the ability to discriminate between the
edible and non-edible amanitae. 1t is
we'll to say just here that there are not
a great many men in the United States
with that ability, for the science of
mycology is not as generally pursued with
us as with some of the older peoples of
Europe. In my excursion with Captain
McIlvaine we came upon several beauti-
full specimens of the deadly am anita,
and I have photographed two to be printed
with this article. These are the
Amanitae bulbosa. The large one is a
fulI-grown fungus, showing part of the
veil or ring and part of the volva. The
smaller is only partly grown, and shows
the volva ruptured, from which the toad.
stool has sprung, with the veil orsring
unbroken and under the head of the
cap These were found on the edge of
road through the woods. They were a
pear1y white on top, the top looking as
If it had been powdered The gills also
were white, and the whiteness of the
stems slightly discoiored with yellow.
The great danger from amanita is due
to the fact that to an uninformed or
unobservant person they resemble the
common mushroom. A very little knowl-
edge would enable any intelligent person
not handicapped with an undue amount
of cocksure conceit to discriminate be-
tween the amanita and the common
mushroom. The common mushroom is
purple spored with pinkish gills in early
youth, which increase in depth of color
as thesspores ripen to heavy purplish
black. All of the amanitae are white
spored, and have white gills. And, fur
thermore, the habitats of these two
agarics are quite different. The common
mushroom always grows in the open; on
the other hand, the amanita 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. Anyone ambi-
tfous to test the merits Of toadstools
would do well to take note of the charac-
teristics of the amanita at once. Other
toadstools sometimes contain minor
poisons; the amanitae contains ii danger
Gus poison; it belongs to a family that
kills. -Harpers' Bazaar.

FruitfuIness of Squash

The Hampshire Gazette furnishes a
good suggestion for squashgrowers in
its statement that the main vine of the
squash chiefly bears male blossoms,
while the side branches produce the
fruit. Keeping the main vine well
pinched back SO as to encourage more
side branches is therefore good way to
make the vines more fruitful.

A VERY CLOSE CALL.
Two Boys Narrowly Escape Death
on the Ohio River.
THEIR FLAT-BOAT CAPSlZED
In tho Middle Of the Stream and but
for the opportunc appearance ola
Man in Skin Mt Least One OF the
Boys Would Have Drowncd-Wind
Waves the Cause of the Accident.

Yesterday morning on the river at the
foot OF Thirty.tifth street, two boys had
a very narrow escape from death by
drowning. A number of the boys liv-
ing in that part OF town make practice
of going across the river and bringing
waste coal across in fiatboats. 1t was
about 10 o'clock when Harry and Johnny
Blattner, boys OF about 10 and II years
of age respectively, started from the
Ohio shore with fiat loaded heavily
with coal. They reached the middle OF
the stream without much difficulty, but
there wind waves made matters assume
a serious aspect Water began to come
in the boat, and finally a big wave swept
over the frail craft and she almost in
stantIy disappeared under the waves.
The older boy, Harry, was good swim
mer and would probably have reached
the West Virginia shore without q great
deal of difficulty, but his brother john
ny was but an indifferent swimmer,
and, to add to his danger, no caught
cramps in his right limb. He succeed
ed in keeping above the water with
great difficulty, until James Roberts,
who was crossing the river in Il skitf
not far away, and who saw the mishap.
came to the rescue and pulled Young
BIattner in just as he was sinking for
the third and last time, The other
boy was pulled in. and then the two
were taken to their home Mt 1884 Mar

pearance OF Roberts tho younger boy
would surely have drowned.
