CANNOT VISIT DOME OF STATE
HOUSE.

Many visitors have this summer visited
the state House IN Montpelier and asked
to ascend the dome and there view Mont
pclcr from that lofty eminencc. but the
regulations to guard against fire ohlige
the custodian to deprive the tourist Of
this pleasure, and many nave gone away
disappointed. The order has been faith
fully observed. The officials make no dis
tinction, all being treated alike, and
firmly and politely Informed this enjoy
mcnt must be dispensed with. For many
years the state House had not penny
of fire insurance, but as soon as James
w. Brock took hold as scrgcant-at-arms
one of his first official acts was to see
that some insurance was placed on the
building. ana at the present time the
structure IS insured for $4,000, which, of
course, is only small part of its real
value.

MUSHROOMS.
Inc best time to gather mushrooms
is as soon as the dow is off the grass
/ in the morning. understanding the oc-
casional rights about mushroom poison
ing the lover of the dainty fungus soon
learns to know the real from the false,
and is willing to take the chances. Both
the button and the Hat varieties are
good for food. These may be found in
the parks in the large ctics-where the
Italians monopolize thcm--or in pastures
whore sheep and cattle are kept. The
top when fresh. should be Il lovely
cream white and the gills underneath
delicate shell pink, The mushroom docs
not grow, but springs with full-ilo dyed
existence in n single night. In the morn
! ing it is smooth on top, but later on
scales and darkcns, and the gills turn
gradually from brown to black. In
twcntY-four hours its freshness Is
thing Of the past. While the cultivated
mushroom can he procured nearly all the
year round, its flavor and dcicacy does
not compare with that of the field mush
room. which is only obtainable in tho
fan or spring. after a season of showers.
The majority of people cook mush
rooms too much. Long cooking toughens
them. If the mushrooms are nice and
white, do not wash merely wipe off. On
no account allow them to soak in water
even for moment. If they are sandy,
rinse off ono nv one with the greatest
care.
