He Beat Him.

His legs were of the size and shape of
couple of ten-pins; his bicycle was
nickel-plated, pneumatic-tired and ev-
erything else; and he was bowling up
9Th avenue like runaway walking
beam. just as he came opposite the
democratic anti-Tammany headquar-
ters, near 50th street, a weakened little
messenger boy on rickety, belated
bike turned on to the asphalt He
caught sight of the gigantic athlete,
tucked letter into his breast pocket
and throwing himself down on the ham
die of his machine yelled out:
"Race you, mister!"
The athletic gentleman looked with
surprised disdain at the boy, put few
extra bulges into his calves and shot
ahead. But the boy struggled with his
wheel like tangled grasshopper and
drew alongside. Then the unterrifed
on the sidewalk saw it and cheered the
boy and jeered the giant. Then it be-
came race with fine accompaniment
of advice and adiectives from the side
walk, until the two bicycles disappeared
in the shadow of the elevated at SD
street. Ten minutes after the boy came
rattling back.

Released Her Imprisoned Foot

A woman crossing network of rail-
road tracks in Long Island City not
long ago stepped on a frog, which was
unlocked, and pinioned her foot secure
ly. There was possibly no danger from
an approaching train, for there were
many men about, but her position was
not comfortable.
Her cries attracted assistance to her
side, and the groups of men began sug-
gesting first one thing, then another to
release the foot. "Give sudden jerk, :"
suggested one. slide your foot for
ward, said another The woman tried,
but could not move her foot.
"No, that won't do" cried a third.
"Get crowbar. Get anything We've
got to pry it out" At this the woman
became hysterical and the men all grew
nervous. Several ran up the track and
several down to signal any approach
ing train.
Just then, when the excitement was
high, a railroad employe crossed the
track, swinging a tin dinner pail.
whats the matter?" he asked one of
the crowd. The situation was explained
to him. Everything had been tried, his
informant said, and they were waiting
for crowbar.
'Why don't you unlace the shoe," he
said, and taking a knife from his pocket
he cut the laces. No one had thought
of that, but the remedy was effectual
and in fifteen seconds the half-fainting
woman was able to pull her foot from
the shoe and slight effort then released
the latter.-M Y Herald

GENIUS oE BURNS.
1t Consisted in Part in His Simplicity and
Adherence to Nature.

Ex-Baili Walker of Kilmarnock. in
the course of a lecture on the genius
and poetry of Burns, says the Scientific
american, which he recently delivered
in Greenock, said: was much struck
with the words DIR. Stalker of Glasgow
uttered not long ago. Contrasting
Burns with Tennyson, he said-wbe3
referring to the style or form of the
laureate's poetry-"that when one reads
1t long at time there is a sense of be-
ing cloyed (glutted) SO that one wishes
that simple things had been described
IN simply way. With him there is a
kind of superfciality which we never
meet with in reading the works of the
Scottish bard, with whom there is al
ways great perspicuity and realness."
Yet, herein lay Burns success: his
poetry Is at once SO simple and so nat
ural that no one can ever fail to catch
his meaning or tire of reading. He
swept the poetical Tyre as no one had
ever done before. He so touched ifs
every string as to make every chord in
the human heart vibrate with the ten
derest or deepest emotion. Nothing
came wrong to the pen of Burns; he
was equally at home at anything. In
NoOo, Ad say GndG almost everything
ne looked at stirred the poetic flame and
led him to reproduce it in word pict-
ure.
The turning over of a gowan or the
destruction of the nest of little mouse
with his plowshare; the seeing of a
wounded hare harping doom the lea;
the death of a sheep; the seeing of a
haggis reeking on the table; the scar
ing of some water fowl; the feeding of
his faithful mare on New Years morn
ing; the seeing of a louise on a lady's
bonnet when in church; the seeing of
the jolly beggars in their howl; the re-
celvlng of Surveyors mandate or the
death of friend. These and other in
cidents, though trivial in themselves,
suggested valuable thoughts to his mind
and proved fit subjects for his pen.
Was there ever written such a re-
markable fable as his poem on the ssThe
Twa Brigs o. Ayr?" wherein he sets the
one to the bullying of the other. as to
their respective qualities, as if they had
been two veritable persons, or that of
his "Twa Dogs" i repeat, nothing
came wrong to this wonderful man,
who had an eye to see all, an ear to
hear all, mind to take in all and a pen
to reproduce all, and herein Law the
genius of Robert Burns.

EDIBLE ToADsTooLs.
"Rules" for Determining Between tn,
Toadstool and Mushroom Worthless.

Toadstool and Mushroom worthless.
Walking in the woods recently will
a country friend, we were DISCUSSING
this "toadstool" topic, when we came
upon cluster of fungi at the base of 6
tree-trunk, their broad expanded top:
apparently upholstered in fawn-coloreo
undressed kid, their under surfaces
being stuffed and tufted in pale-greenish
hue. says writer in Harper's Magazine
What would you call these?" 1 in
quired.
"Those are toadstools, Enthusiastically, ,
was his reply.
"Well, toadstools or not you see there
about five pounds of delicious vegetable
meat, for it is the common species OF
edible Boletus-Boletus edulis."
A lew moments later we paused be-
fore beautiful specimen, lifting its
parasol of pure white above the black
leaf mold.
"And what is thisp" inquired.
Il would certainly call that a mush-
room" was his instant reply.
This mushroom proved to be a fine,
tempting specimen of the Agaricus
Amanita bulbosa, the deadliest of all
the mushrooms, and one of the most
violent and fatal of all known vegetable
poisons, whose attractive graces and in
sidious wiles are doubtless continually
responsible for those numerous fatalities
usually dismissed with the epitaph,
Died from eating toadstools in mistake
for mushrooms"
Nor are the other popular traditions
and tests by which the primary selection
of the mushroom" is proved" for safe
ty worthy of any more consideration;
tests, for instance, such as the follow
ing:
pheasant taste and odor; boiling with
a silver spoon, the staining of the silver
indicating danger; peeling of the cap;
change of color in fracture" etc. I
once knew an aged dame who was
village oracle on this as well as other
topics, and who ate and dispensed 9bad-
stools on the above rules. Strange to
say, she lived to good old age, and no
increased mortality chanced as a result
of her generosity.
How are these popular notions sus-
tanned by the facts?
Many, indeed majority, of the most
delicious species will not peel" at all;
others change color, turning blue or
green or tawny almost instantly on
being broken, while the most deadly
Amanita which peels with certain de-
gree of accommodation which would at
once seem to settle its claim as '.mush-
room," has, moreover. to many, an in
viting odor and pleasant taste when
raw, and when cooked gives no token
of its fatal resources until from six to
eight hours after being eaten, when its
unfortunate victim is usually past hope
absolutely so, in the absence of the
proper medical treatment in the ad-
ministration of atropine in hypodermic
injection in one-sixtieth grain doses, this
deadly drug having been only recently
discovered to be an effective antidote to
the amanitine, the poisonous principle Of
the Amanita fungus.
