large quantities., however good and
genuine they may be, may develop a
violent poison few hours after they
are picked. They are generally safer.
however, than the wild mushrooms.
The latter. though the genuine article,
will sometimes absorb poison from the
spawn Of dangerous fungi which lie
in the ground they grow in and be as
deadly as any toadstool; in fact,
great many of the deaths reported ev-
cry year as caused by toadstools mis-
taken for mushrooms are caused by
the true mushroom which has absorb
ed poison. Out Of single field one
batch Of mushrooms may be excellent
and others not fifty yards away per-
fectly poisonous. Yet there will be no
difference in appearance, and both will
peel and show all the marks OF the
genuine article. There Is one test
which is generally safe-put silver
spoon among the mushrooms when
they are frying, and II it turns black
reject them; also IL they show vel
low tint round the edges throw them
away.-LOndon Standard.

No one around the frontier town of
Lewisburg knew much of DR., Davy.

ostentation, taken up a claim four
miles away and built a sod house. half
above and half below ground. For q
year he had dwelt there alone and had
only come into town once a fortnight
for provisions. He was called doctor
because he was doctor, though not
seeking to ply his art, and no one was
able to say just how his title came to
be known. His next neighbor was a

1t was year or more after Dr. Da.

one evening to meet young woman
who stepped off the train from the

months she was in time forgotten by
all with one exception. That exception

At one Of his lectures, when the

in this vicinity, there is prospect of a
good trade; but it is not likely to as
sumo liberal proportions until Decem-

The buyers and shippers will be in the
