A Cure for Bores.

OF the Hungarian statesman Francis
Deak, it is related that he used TO rid
himself of troublesome visitors by tell
ing them the following story:
Once, when in Paris, Napoleon l.,
paid a visit to a hospital for the old
soldiers. Here he perceived, among the
rest, a man who had lost one OF his
arms, and he entered into conversation
with him.
"'Where did you lose your arm?'
asked the Emperor.

"'Then, no doubt, you curse the En-
peror and your country every time you

"'No. indeed, protested the veteran

81 can hardly believe that the En-.
peror quietly remarked, and passed On.
"But the soldier, anxious TO prove that
he was in earnest, Immediately drew a
sabre from its sheath and Topped off his
other arm"
Here Deak would pause and fix a
penetrating look on his visitor,

The Study OF Mushrooms.

There has recently been prepared for
the state of New York n chart repre-
senting the edible and poisonous fungi,
mushrooms and toadstools TO be found
within its boarders. Ii reveals many
errors that are all TOO prevalent and it
makes clear the fact that mushrooms
could be much more largely used with
safety if the public could only have ac-
cess to such carefully prepared charts.
One family was recently poisoned by
eating mushrooms-the mother dying
from the effects of the antidote admin
istcred, when, in fact, the mushsooms
were edible and the illness had come
only from ealing them after they had
been kept so long rs TO be unwhole-
some.
As an instance of the ignorance in
America on the subject of toadstools it
has been noted that in u publication Of
the United States department of agri-
culture there were two plates, each con-
tanning twelve specimens, and Of the
twelve to~adstools thus officially declared
to be poisonous nine were not poison
Gus at all aud six were very good to
eat. On the plate showing edible mush-
rooms several were by no means fit for
food.--N. Y. Herdtd.

The Mother Teaches tho Young Ones to
Fish.

-
81 saw the counterpart of q boys
school one day in the woods of Illinois,
said an amateur naturalist TO a 81. Louis
Globe Democrat man.
II was sitting quietly on the bank of
n creek when there came pacing down
a little path an old mother raccoon with
five young ones. The little fellows
were about as large rs half-grown cals
and were rs full of fun as that mythical
basket of monkeys we read about. If
ever there was Il hard-workcd teacher il
was that poor mother coon. She tried
to teach the little imps how to catch
crawiish and how TO eat them.
when the old lady (she was a very
ladylike old 'coon) got the little fellows
in "A line ut the waters edge she sedately
walked to a rock aud grayely reached
down into a hole and brought ont Il
crawiish. She then proceeded TO wash
it, but Just rs she was about to eat it
one li;tle coon broke ranks and stole
the crawiish.
This started a row and all the little
fellows were badly mixed, while the old
il was administering bites and cuffs
indiscr,lnInatcly among the scholars.
She finally succeeded in restoring order
and then sem one of the little 'coons to
try it in another hole. Here is where
the fun began in earnest and all the
Inischievous boys that ever made "A
teachers heart ache were angels of
goodness when compared with these
little 'coons. They pinched each others
legs and worried the old coon until she
turned and gave them Il general cutting
all around.
1T seemed to me that each little coon
knew his lesson perfectly and was de-.
termined to get all the fun out of the
proceedings possible, for when the
mother coon got so angry that she
made her bites felt the little fellows got
down to business and caught, washed
and ate their crawiish with all the abil-
ity of veterans.
"The comically grave faces of the lii.

the crawiish holes and CROPPED about fol
