 A certain genus of mushrooms grows De heath the ground the best known being the French truffie, which has been dlscoyereh In California and other parts of this coun- try. It develops from IS to "A inches below the surface, and unless known by previous experience to exist would scarcely pay to gather.

 A second precept well meriting attention, Is that in order 10 stew properly, wash the vegetable carefully allowing 1t to drain. Then place In the stewpan without any addl- tional water, as the liquid taken up by the fungi In the process of washing Is more than sufficient to start and give of water while boiling.
 The flavor of the dish will be increased by letting the mushrooms boil until sufficiently tender without adding any other ingre- dients.

 Some Mushroom Recipes.
 In a chapter entitled Fungi for the Table" Miss Nina l.. Marshall. In her work. which we have previously quoted iD this article, gives some excellent recipes for the preparation of dishes, selection of which we append:-
 To keep mushrooms temporarily, cleanse, remove the parts to be rejected, rinse in cold water the parts to be used dry with cloth, then put In boiling water and keep boiling for five or ten minutes. Drain and wipe dry
 To prepare the edible agarics tAgaricps Campestris) for cooking, cleanse, cut on the stems and throw them away. Rinse the caps in cold water, drain and leave in cold water

 The nearest local approach to an ordinary Filipino cookery job is furnished by the bouillabaisse, which obtains In very Few New York restaurants, and which the late Mir Thackeray has embalmed in the reten- five memories of folk who like good eat ing.

acid, bitter pr sweet taste, are now COL sidered totally unreliable. There are musn- rooms hotter than cayenne when raw. but which actually require pepper when cooked Whole families, such as many of the milk mushrooms turn blue when cut, yet cooked are delightful to taste. Let beginners who are interested in this subject thoroughly grasp one point-a point on which we desire to be especially emphatic-namely, that she only tests taught by experience in the fields require thorough and exhaustive study.
 Out of the thousand varieties Here Is only one mushroom known to contain deadly poison. This Is the genus amanita; but at the same time this very species provides some royal fungae food, as Is found in the amanta Caesarea Caesars mushroom), which was imported from Gaul especially for the renowned warrioe and lis conyivial confreres, who aptly described the vegetable as flood for the gods" It Is grown in this country, but as 1t is so like the dangerous amanita Muscaria (dy amanita), very con- spicuous and handsome species, 1t needs an expert to distinguish between them. The fly amanita is thus called on account of 1t being, for some reason or other, particularly at tractive to flies. Yet the circle of dead flies lying at its base proves that to investigate the nectar of its juices means death to them. The effect of being poisoned by this fungus Is the paralyzing of the nerves which con- trol the action of the heart.
 As a member of the same family who seeks the death dealing "Amawita Pha;loides," otherwise known as ''The Death Cup, ; ''rhe Destroying Anger' and in some country parts as "The Devil to Pay" Even to handle acts on some people in q mild way, while the eating of piece the size of the top joint of your thumb means almost certain death. The poison (phallin) Is similar to that found in rattlesnakes and produces death in the form of diphtheria and cholera Unfor- tnnately there Is no known antidote, but scientific researches give every hope and encouragement for the future. In other species there are also poisons, but In all no more than one dozen mushrooms are known so deadily in their effect. In other genera the poisons are generally emetic, and, there fore, carry with them their own antidote. Again, there are some fungi which like clans, lobsters, &c., can be eaten by some people with pleasure, but which cause considerable

Keep your seat, Horace, I'll get you
there on time"
The great editor at that time was
making a trip through the Western
States in the interest Of the Union Pa
cific Railroad endeavoring to interest
individuals along the proposed route
In its construction. He was to speak
at Placerville and was many miles
from the mining camp when he urged
Monk to hurry on the horses. receiving
the reply quoted. Monk got him into
Placerville on time, and years later
Mr.. Greeley presented him with a gold
watch bearing this inscription inside
the case, Keep your seat, Horace; I'll
get you there on time. Presented to
Hank Monk in commemoration of his
famous drive in landing Horace Gree
ley on time" The commission has pro-
cured this watch and 1t will be shown
among the other Monk exhibits.
Hank Monk was born in Wadding-
ton, ST. Lawrence County, In 1923, and
spent his early life here. For many
years he drove the stage from Wad-
dington to Massena and was consid-
cred the best driver ever known upon
the route He began his labors on the
Waddington- MasSena route when only
II years Of age and continued it until
| he was past his majority. He went to-
ward the setting sun in 1852 and had
been In the West but a short time
when he took up stage driving, follow
ing It until his death in 1882. He was
said to have been one Of the most care
full and yet one Of the most daring
drivers known In the West. His fame
became as wide as the breadth of the
continent. and during the latter 7O's
and early sos no tourist felt that he
had seen the West and experienced all
Its charms unless he had ridden In a
stage coach driven by Hank Monk.
He was a great friend Of Mark Twain
and the great humorist devotes a chap
ter in his volume, "Roughing It," to
the single incident Of the ride OF Gree
