IN gathering them in fields and woods
While taste and color are significant in
iic:ltious in determining between the edible
and poisonous varieties, they are not al
ways inlaIlible. for the distinctive marks
are often SO similar as to neCessitate more
than ordinary knowledge of the different
varieties to provide against dangerous
consequences.
or the eight varieties of edible nush-
rooms in the United states two have pink
gills, three white gills, aud one pure blue
Gilis. In some OF the varieties the purity
is marked by the formation OF the ciils AMI
also by the distance they extend toward
the root of the plant. The poisonous va
rieties are immune bic. but are generally
more distinctly marked than the edible.
IN color the shades are positive, the scar
let, green and white being considered
The more poisonous.
AMERICA MAY SUPPLY THE WORLD.
The simplest and most satisfactory way
10 distinguish the edible from the Poison
Gus is by the odor and the color OF the
juices which exude when the stem or an!
other part of the plant is broken. Those
having a strong, unplea SAINT odor, and

be the distinctive marks.
AS an industry the cultivation OF musII-
rooms is more extensive / :. France than
IN any other country. There they are Cul
.ivated in caves. Some OF these caves are
over twenty miles in length and produce
not less than 5000 pounds daily.
III England. too. the mushroom is OK
tensively cultivated. The japanese also
cultivate II to such an extent that the grow
ing Of mushrooms is regarded as one Of the
industries of the country.
while they are exported to nearly all
parts of the world, China is by far the
chief purchaser In 1873 1875 tons were
shipped to China, and since that time the
trade has been constantly growing.
The greater part Of foreign grown mtsb
rooms brought to this country are imported
from France, which Is said by epcureanS
to produce the most highly Favored ii all
varieties.
1t is the opinion of those who have in
vestigated the matter that the cultivation
of the mushroom in the United States is
SO rapidly becoming an established indus
try that it will not be many years before
the demand will be supplied by the home
market The natural advantages for
growing mushrooms in the United States
are said TO be far greater than even those
of France. And when these advantages
are utilized those who have studied the
subject from n commercial standpoint pre-
dict that this country will be able to supply
the whole world with all the varieties
of the fungi much cheaper than they can be
grown in other countries.

There Is more catarrh In this section of
the country than all other diseases put
together. and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment. pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be n constitutional
disease, and therefore requires constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,

DEMAND FOR MUSHROOMS.

product increases to such an extent as to

Edible Mushrooms,

For many years past the division OF mi
croscoDy for the United States Depart
mcnt of Agriculture has been making an
exhaustive investigation of the culture of
mushrooms in all sections of the country
through agents and others. From the re-
ports received it has been ascertained that
there is large number of varieties Of
edible mushrooms and other allied fungi,
only few OF which are utilized on ac-
count OF the inability of the majority of
people to distinguish the edible and poison
GUS species. So in classifying the species
which are wholesome. nutritious and nom
poisonous scientists have selected those
which have well-defined marks and pc
culiarities in structure. habits, color taste
odor and change of color of juice when
exposed to light and air.
NUMBER FO SAFE VARIETIES.
The number classified by different scien-
fists as safe and healthy vary. some
contending that there are only four, and
Others as many as twelve, distinct spe-
cies which have been accepted as edible.
Size in no way indicates the quality or
species of the fungus: neither does the
general outline of formation.
In size the edible fungus varies from
that of q large piubead to an ordinary
cabbage. In structure there is great STINT
larity between the edible and poisonous
fungus, some being umbrella shaped, others
having tendency TO heading like an Or
binary garden vegetable; some showing a
lard. soli1 growth, while others are visi-
bly, spongy.
Great care should he exercised in col
Letting mushrooms. Even the most expe
rienced are said to often make mistakes

Mushroom culture is no longer an expert
ment in the United States. 1t is rapidly
taking its proper place among the agn-
cultural industries OF the country, especially
In the farming districts adjacent to the
Large cities and towns.
Tie cultivation OF the mushroom in all its
different varieties-and there are many of
then-requires grcatCare and tedious work,
and it is only OF late years that it has come
TO be looked upon as part Of the crop of
the truck farmer.
One difficulty surrounding the growing
OF the mushroom is its striking resemblance
10 the common toadstool, many varieties
of which are poisonous. SO similar are
they in general appearance that when
called upon to explain this difference
poted scientist said: IF you eat musll-
room and it kills You, then it i 5 toad
stool, and if You eat tCadstool and it
doesn't kill you, tits a mushroom"
There are, however, a few varieties OF
the latter which are not poisonous. and
these are often either dcSignedly or through
ignorance sent to market. For this rea-
Eon the grower of mushrooms must have
reputation above suspicion Tor his produce
to lie freely accepted.
Within the last few years several'pusl-
room farms have been started IN the sub
urbs OF Washington, AnaCostia, Great
Falls. Bladensburg, HyattsvIlle and OIL
many of the large farms in the ADJACENT
counties in Maryland. The produce from
these places finds ready sale in the mar
kets in this city. and are considered by
epicures as good as the finest imported
mushrooms

In addition to the thermometer, sticks

the scarcity OF the Gothic architecture in

These timcpieces, all OF them conspic-
uously displa yed, are OF Uncomfortable value
to the public at large. In this city where
ii is SO necessary to be punctual in the de-
partments, these clocks are the standbyes 0t
the clerks and the chiefs alike. By them
they are enabled to tell whether they are
iateo or early. They ca n alwa VS. b. depended
upon to have the right time. asevery one IS
set by the ban upon the observatory, which
IS the standard regulator OF Washington
time.
An incident took place not long a 90 which
shows how much these clocks are valued by
the people. When the mmissionCrs We're
making such rigid tests Of objects obstruct-
ing the sidewalks they ordered the clock in
front of Galt's to be removed. Instantly
such a howl went up and sonurncrous were
the petitions received by the Commissioners
to allow the clock To remain thatit was de-
cided to rescind the order.
MOTHER OF CITY CLOCKS
The oldest town clock in the city is
that in the tower of the Baltimore and
Ohio depot. This clock is not as old as
the depot, having been put there several
years after the building was erected. The
