Uncle Rastus, who was seeking in- formation concerning mushrooms, had been referred by a preternaturally sol emn student to the professor of botany, and, with hat in hand, he was address ing that dignitary.
 Would yo' mind tellin' me, Mistah Mandrake" he said, ''how to 'stinguish a musharoon f'm toadstoolT
 Willingly" replied the professor. ''In the first place, you must remember that the Amanita phalloides, or deadly agaric, closely resembles the Agaricus campestris, or edible fungus, which is our common variety and absolutely in nocuous. Next, it will be necessary to fix firmly in your mind the distinguish ing marks or characteristics of the Agaricus campestris, which are these: A pileus not covered with excrescence- like scales; gills of brownish purple when mature; stalk solid and approxi- mately cylindrical; ring near the mid dle of stalk; base not bulbous and not sheathed by membrane. The distin- gushing chara cteristics of the Amanita phalloides, or deadly agaric, are these: Pileus destitute of distinct excres- cences; white gills, hollow stalk; large ring and prominent bulb at base, with membranous upper margin. Bearing these points of differentiation fully in mind you will never be at loss to determine which variety you encounter in any given case"
 "Yes, suh," said Uncle Rastus. turn ing his hat round and round in his fingers. '1 un'stan' dat all right, but how's gwine to tell lem apahtT'- Chicago Tribune.

When Children Smoked.

Jorevin de Rochefort, who published in Paris in 1671 an account of his trav- els in England, tells the following: "While we were walking about the town (Worcester) he asked me if 1t was the custom in France as in England that when the children went to school they carried in their satchel with their books a pipe of tobacco, which their mothers took care to fill early in the morning, 1t serving them instead of breakfast, and that at the accustomed hour every one laid aside his book to light his pipe. the master smoking with them and teaching them how to hold their pipes and draw in the tobacco"
 In England at the time of the great plague it was reported that no one liv- ing in tobacconist's house fell sick of the disease. This caused a great de mand for tobacco. Hearne says in his diary, 'I remember that heard for merly Tom Rogers, who was yeoman beadle, say that when he was school boy at Eton that year when the plague ragged all the boys of that school were obliged to smoke every morning and that he was never whipped so much in his life as he was one morning for not smoking"

Hi. Foot Wa. In the Way.

A gentlemanly chap riding in an ele- vated car permitted the sight of a mans foot in the middle of the aisle to exasperate him to most unreasonable degree. Women ripped over it. Men stepped over it. A few folk purposely dragged their feet against it as hint. But it's owner calmly read his paper and moved not. Finally, ''l beg your pardon. my friend" said the gentleman ly chap, leaning down, his face set and teeth clinched. but don't you think you are taking up more room than you are entitled to? Your foot has been in ev- cry one's way for half an hour. I pro test, sirv'
 The man folded his paper, remarking without the least show of anger: "Ah, thank you. I hau not noticed it." With that he reached down. picked up his foot, gave it violent twist and pushed 1t partly under the seat. To accomplish this he had to move his body to the edge of the seat.
 On discovering that the leg and foot were wooden our gentlemanlike chap blushed in confuslon, muttered'a a sort of apology and hurried off at the next sta ton, while the car tittered.-New York Press

The Satisfaction In Travelling Alone.
 "Oh. the pleasure of eating aloney' wrote Charles Lamb in one of his most expansive letters. We are not quite sure how serious he was in the exclamation. But change eating into "traveling," and there may be found thousands who will echo the cry. Thackeray thought there was nothing to equal 1t. Louis Stevenson, in the Ceyennes, made the same discovery. for his donkey cannot be said to count.
 Jean Paul Richter, though he did not live in touring times, was too accom- plished an individualist (of the senti- mental kind) not to harp on this music all string. II hold the constant regard that we pay in all our actions to the judgment of others as the poison of our peace, our reason and our virtue" Translated into plainer speech, Richter's words may read thus, Unless you can have your own way life is but poison ed puddle"
 Curxon, Stanley, De Windt Mise Kingsley, Landor and host of smaller men and women have acted on the same assumption. And as in larger travel, better known as exploration. so also in the less stately yet more pleas urabIe trips of common life. After q full purse there is nothing so good for the vagrant as free hand.-C. Ed wardes in Speaker.

A Garden of Mi1k.

The Milk garden of Frankfort. re- served for the children of that aristo- cratic city, Is in itself one of the most democratic of places. Here rich peo- pie who wish to be relieved for time of the presence of their children send them. accompanied by their nurses. Here also poor people who can neither afford to devote their own time to their children nor hire separate nurses for them may bring their little ones. cer- tain that from the garden nurses they will receive all the care and attention necessary to safety. health and amuse- ment. ..
 Private nurses of the rich people and public nurses of the working people are subject to supervision sufficient to protect the children of all classes from cruelty and neglect. The only food fur nished in the garden is milk, whose freshness and purity are assured, inas- much as it is drunk warm from the mild eyed cows which occupy stalls on one edge of the field.

He was highly esteemed citizen, and hav- ing succeeded his father in the principal care of the Staffordville mill, his loss will be felt severely in this community as we'll as by large circle of friends.

WHAT MRS.
 JOHNNIE DID

"Whatever you do, don't take the 12:10," Tom had said when at break fast Mrs. Johnnie declared her inten- ton of running up to town. 'It's slow and awfully dusty and there's general ly rowdy crowd aboard. Wait for the 2:05 express"
 But no sooner had Tom taken his de parture than Mrs. Johnnie decided to do nothing CT tic sort. She was bus ting little body, forever on the go, and when once an idea crept into that clev- CT little head of hers she was inclined to carry it through to a finish in her own particular way.
 Consequently Mrs. Johnnie did take the 12:1O local. and within five min utes' time she was wishing devoutly it was hot and dusty, and they were era wiling along at snaiPs pace, and there were some rough looking custom CTS on board, and-well, oh, dear! After all, Tom did know what he was talk ing about occasionally.
 At the far end of the car a young wo- man was sitting. She looked so young that one might almost have called her a child in spite of the fact that her pretty brown hair was twisted up on the top of her head in a vain imitation of the latest fashion and the (to Mrs. Johnnie) most atrocious fact that her cheeks were covered with rouge.
 Mrs. Johnnie gathered her belongings together and set out to take possession of the seat just in front of the young girl, and then, half turning, she scru- tinized the young woman at her leisure. She could do so without rudeness, for the girl was gazing out of the window. and her thoughts seemed to be far away. Its a sweet little face" thought Mrs. Johnnie, "and I don't care if it is painted it's innocent and trustful. Her dress fits her abominably, but she has a glorious pair of eyes. She's posi- tive anomaly. Pm going to introduce myself"
