would find these buttons of>great in

In the light of modern inquiry
there seems to be no reason for be-
lieving that mushrooms possess any
greater food value than other ordi-
nary fresh vegetable foods, and in
many respects they compare unfavor-
ably with them, says the Lancet.
Still, the fresh, tender mushroom is
undoubtedly easily digestible, and, az
it contains carbohydrates in addition
to some dietetic value. The value is
not comparable with that possessed
by essential foods such as meat, milk
and eggs. The mushroom, however,
contains an unusual proportion of
potassium salts. Few will DENY that
the mushroom is an excellent adjunct
to many dishes; it has an appetizing
favor, and this quality alone makes
1t dietetically valuable.

SOME ARTFUL DODGERS.
TransgressOrs of the Law to
Escape Punishment.

To the habitual criminal it is often
of vital Importance that he should be
able to communicate swiftly and Sc
cretly with an accomplice, either to
elaborate a scheme of rascality or
send warning of imminent danger
from the police. Nobody knows bet
ter than he, however, by availing him
self of the orthodox channels he runs
the risk of discovery. Hence it is
becoming a common practice for clev-
er rogues never to communicate in a
straightforward way if they can avoid
it, but, instead, to set up and use pc
culiar post offices, which are essen
tally their own, says Cassell's Sat-
urday Journal.
A typical case was that of man
who was wanted" in connection with
certain notorious turf frauds. When
the warrant was issued he sought shell
ter in a shabby lodging in a back
street not five miles from the Bank of
England. He had friends who strong
ly objected to his capture, mainly be-
cause his appearance in the dock
would have led to unpleasant conse-
quences to themselves. But they
were all so well known to the police
and detectives that it was impossible
for them to send message directly to
the fugitive, though he had adopted an
alias, much less to pay him a visit.
All of them, however, agreed to keep
watch on his behalf and to send him
word Immediately they had reason to
fear his place of refuge was in dan
ger of discovery and the time come
for him to make final bolt.
One of the watching gang learned of
the coming danger to the fugitive by
methods he saw fit not to talk about,
and carelessly sent the servant of his
lodgings to dispatch wire to another
of the allies in Edinburgh, to the eff
feet that his aunt was dead. The be-
reaved nephew mastered his grief so
far as to in turn dispatch wire ac-
companied by telegraph money or
der, to a hostler in the city of Lon
don, desiring him to send half dozen
black ties to a given address without
delay. The articles were duly taken
to the gentleman in retirement by an
unsuspecting errand boy, and the
trick was done. Every apparently in
significant detail was part of pre-
arranged code. The firm sending the
ties, their number and color-all con-
veyed a hint to the person most inter-
ested as to the safest mode of flight,
the best port at which to attempt en-
barkation, and the very street in
which he was to jostle against a sup
posed stranger who was to surrepti-
tiously transfer to him a store of
money and his passage counter-foils,
which had been taken under a false
name.
Nothing is too elaborate or ingen-
iously audacious to men playing a
