ABOUT MUSHROOMS.
and Place of Growth to
Insure Safety,

There are many thousands Of species
Of fungi. Among them are few pro-
life species which contain deadly poi
son, and which annually cause distress
ing deaths. There are also few species
which contain minor poisons; again, a
few which can be eaten by the majority
Of persons, but that will affect others
disagreeably. All Of these species re-
semble the common field mushroom in
one or more particulars, yet If ordinary
care Is taken to know the mushroom,
there is not the slightest danger of mis-
taking any other species, either poison
Gus or edible, for 1t. The mushroom
must be known by its appearance and by
its place of growth. says Woman Home
Companion.
To find the mushroom (Agarius CAM

pasture, grassy lane or well-1nanured
lawn. Here the tumble-bug buries the

and Refreshing.

It n q common experience. that the
more one drinks the more thirsty we be-
come. It is great temptation in hot
weather to pour down fluids in excessive
quantities, but it Is also great mistake,
because 1t makes us feel worse than be-
fore drinking. says american Queen.
A reasonable amount Of good, ripe
fruit will go much further toward reliev-
ing thirst and cooling the blood, for fruit
contains sufficient water and does not
produce the feeling Of distress that too
much water always does. sss

the appetite and aids digestion. Besides,

coLLARLEss SHIRT WAISTS.
Comfort Takes Precedence and Warm
Weather VIII Dictate the
STYLE.

{ New styles appear with the excessive
heat which too often marks midsummer
days. Comfort takes precedence over all
other things; but the clever modistes
have found way to combine it with
beauty. The result is the collarless
blouse.
The fashion started last year and has
had widespread growth. As the Their
mometer mounts higher, collarless shirt
waists will multiply in number and in
crease In beauty. In net, dotted and
plain; lace, embroidery and the sheer
est of summer fabrics, they will have
a cool appearance in the hottest wealth
er.
White is the dominant color, though
embroidery in color is used with dainty
effect.
Even the heavier linens are made In
the co]larless fashion. They are more
durable and hold their shape better than
the thinner materials. They are usually
ornamented with hemstitching, drawn
work, or embroidery.
A simple linen blouse is striped with
bands of drawn work half an inch wide.
These run three inches apart, up and
down the waist, and around the arm on
the sleeves. The sleeves are elbow
length, each finished by narrow shaped
frill edged with the drawn work. A
short round collar Of solid drawn fin
tshes the neck.
A similar waist was finished at the
throat by black satin string tie and
turnover collar of drawn work This is
q novel way CT converting stock shirt

tie may be Of any shade, and the turn
over of lace or embroidery shows to
good advantage over 1t.
The woman with round, columnar
throat can rejoice in these collarless
waists; but for her who Is less fortunate
there are standing frills at the neck
which are cool and becoming. There
are also boned collars of openwork lace,

RAIN AS A PURIFIER.
Theory Long Held by American
Scientists Proved by Recent
Health Tests in London.

The health department has often
called the attention. of the public to
the fact that rain Is a great purifier,
and there is some highly interesting
testimony to the same effect in a re-
cent number of the London Lancet,
which is fortified by references to q
recent examination and analysis.
Beginning with June Is London had
continuous rainfall for five days, the
total precipitation being estimated at
3.8 inches. On the third day Of the
period supply of raindrops was Sc
cured for an investigation, and it was
found that the solid matters contained
therein amounted to 81 grains per
gallon. Among the constituents noted
were common salt. ammonium sui
plate, organic ammonia, SCOT and sus-
pended matters and nitrates. The
Lancet assures us that the quantity Of
ammonia sulphate, .652 grains, was re-
markable, and that its chief origin is
the combustion Of coal Salt con-
trobuted 8 grains and SCOT and sus-
pended matter 5 grains. With this
analysis and an estimate of 6.437 ,229,-
$50 gallons for the total rainfall over
the London country area as the basis
OF the calculation, 1t is figured that the
enormous downpour represents the
washing out of no less than 1888 tons
OF solid impurities, of which $50 tons
consisted of common salt, 2G7 tons Of
sulphate of ammonia, and 1000 tons
OF SCOT and suspended matters" An
other interesting computation is given
as follows: Regarding the combus-
Mon of one ton Of coal to produce 20
pounds of ammonium sulphate Ga very
fair average) the quantity of coal rep
resented by the storm would be 29.9O4
TONS"
The Lancet adds that besides the
publication which is shown by the
analysis there is archaeological puri-
dcation also, which of course is very
important factor in the beneficent
work of the rain.-Chicago Record

why 1t Is Important to Keep the Lit.
tie Insects Away from All
Food Supplies.

In a paper written in 1900 by DR..
L. o. Howard, chief of the division of
entomology at Washington, on 'The
Insect Fauna of Human Excrement,
with Special Reference to the Spread
Of Typhoid r'ever by Flies" 1t was
shown that out of 27,087 flies which
had been caught in different parts Of
the country in rooms where food was
exposed, as would ordinarily be the
case in q kitchen or dining ROOM
more than SO per cent. Of the insects
SO taken were ordinary house flies
House flies breed to very large ex-
tent in horse manure, but they are
very often attracted and frequently
develop in human excrement. An in.
dividual fly lays on an average of
about 120 eggs. which in a few hours
hatch into larvae, or "maggots," and
after another transformation at the
end of ten days eventually become
full-grown adult insects.
When we consider these facts, 1t Is
not to be wondered at that typhoid
fever often prevails in the country.
