PUFF BALLS AS FOOD.
English Physician Says 8 ''Ney sens
satlgN Can BE on ipsd ~
Eating Them.

According to current dispatches, ah
eminent British physician announces
that an entirely new sensation" can
be obtained by eating fuss balls, or
pun balls, reports the New York Tri-
bune. Shades Of William Hamilton
Gibson! Why, that fungus has been
"a well-accepted article of food with the
elect for a score of years.
The new sensation" promised to the
jaded palates of English gourmands is
an old thing here, though none the
worse for being old Our British breth-
rem are to be congratulated, not upon a
new discovery, but upon their belated
acceptance of a good Yankee discov-
cry made many a year ago among the
New England hills.
Nevertheless, the British physician
in question is entitled to the gratitude
for calling public attention to the mat
ter, and it is to be wished that in some
way a wider practical interest might
be aroused in this country. At present
only two kinds Of fungi are much
eaten, and they, because Of their mar
ket cost, are chiefly reserved for epi-
cures One of them, the mushroom,
ought to be as common and cheap as
potatoes, and there are many other
fungi equally desirable for food, which
ought to be upon the tables Of all.
There are few articles Of food at once
so delicious to the taste, so grateful
to the digestive organs and so nour-
ishing and strengthening to the body
as fungi, and there are few that can be
produced more cheaply- It is deplora-
bic that so important a food supply
should be so neglected.
People are perhaps prejudiced
against fungi by occasional cases
of ''toadstool" poisoning. and they
have pretty general supersti-
ton that all fungi save truhies and
mushrooms are noxious The latter
notion IS widely mistaken. The fact is
that among the many common species
of fungi there are only a few poisonous
ones, and they are readily distinguish
/ able by persons Of intelligence. Will
liam Hamilton Gibson used to knock
/ fungus from stumps and decaying logs
and cook them into something as saw
ory as terrapin and more nutritious
/ than beefstealK. What he did and what
some others are doing, all might do
| a little instruction and a little discre-
/ tion are all that Is needed to make
every woodland a larder and every old
/ pasture a copious producer OF choice

She was the niece of prominenf

Consequently, when she hearilesaly

him was $4,000, but the damages

young woman sum of s100 was paid

which. needless to say, was Ear in e1-

But, after hearing the evidence og

the jury not only returned a verdict
in favor Of the latter but ordered that
the $1O0 she had paid into court should
be handed back to her.
