TESTS FOR MUSHROOMS.
Popular Methods for Telling Poisonous
 Kinds Found Wanting.

From the Lancet.
 The distinctions between edible and poisonous mushrooms are usually based on empirical grounds with the result that mistakes of serious nature may and oft en do occur. The subject has recently received tho attention of Professor La bessa. who has described the characters whereby edible and poisonous mushrooms are distinguished fin various localities. Many popular tests for determining the wholesomeness or otherwise of n mush- room are based on color, odor, taste and texture; on the presence of rose-colored lamellae or milky juice; on the situa- ton in which the fungi grow and on the action of the musrooms on various sub stances, including gold and silver coins, milk and onions.
 Thus, according to one popular notion, mushrooms having a blue, violet, green or red color are unfit for food. but this test would exclude many wholesome fungi. including the green Russia and the green Clytocybe. It has been said that only mushrooms which do not change color when cut are good to eat but Lac tarlus deiciosus, some species of Boletus, and many other mushrooms which change color are perfectly harmless, while on the other hand, Amanita muscaria and some other fungi which do not change 
 Professor Labese points out that the presence of an agreeable odor is not an infailible test of good mushroom, as a species of Amanita QAmanlte phalloide) is especially dangerous in spite of its pleasant odor. There Is a dctum among certain amateur gatherers that a good mushroom has grateful taste. This test is useful in many cases, but not in all- e. B., PAmanite phalloide and la fausse Oronge (Amanlta muscaria) are scarcely bitter, but quite unfit for eating.
 As regards texture 1t Is generally re- garded that compact. brittle mushrooms, with a dry skin are edible. but Profess sor Labese considers this to be a more prejudice, ss tine eating of certain spc- cies of Russula would seriously indispose any one placing confidence in these char acters. Mushrooms with rose-colored lamellae are usually considered to be edible, but this is false notion, some species of Volvaria and other poisonous fungi possessing this character Mush- rooms with a milky juice are regarded as dangerous by some collectors. but this rule mus. not be followed too literally as many excellent members of the genius Lactarius would thereby be excluded. The situation In which mushrooms grow is very uncertain criterion of edlblity.

Gamblers as Bankers.

From Leslle's Weekly
 The American public has been furnished with several striking and impressive illus trations, within the last few years, of the intimate relations existing between the personal conduct and private character of individuals into whose hands great trusts have been confided and the safe, sound. and honest administration of these trusts. The principle involved in such a rela- ton to be conveyed. is so obvious, SC much of truism, that 1t would seem hardly necessary to re-state it before thinking men. That figs are not gathered Of thistles, that water does not run up hill are hardly more self-evident as ex- pressions of natural law than the state ment would be, for the world of business, that clean and honorable business methods are not to be expected of crooked and corrupt men As general rule, no such expectation exists; where the principle 's ignored or defied, as happens occasionally, the results are usually deplorable enough to furnish all the lesson needed for the time of the folly and danger of such a course.
 A case very much In point Is that of the wrecked Milwaukee Avenue Bank of Chi cago It appears that both the president and the cashier of this bank had for years led loose and irregular lives The presi- dent was race track gambler, and had openly and boldly defied the laws of God and man in his relations with evil women The cashier had been a cheap sport . race track gambler, and a frequenter of evil resorts. That men of such char acter and such associat tons should have been intrusted with the management of a large financial institution, having in it's keeping the savings of thousands of poor people, was an astonishing thing, and a fact for which the directors of the wrecked bank itself ought to be called to a sharp account

 To steal an elephant would seem to be well-ngh impossible. But the British consul reports that It Is q common prac- tice in Siam There the huge quadrupeds are employed in the teak forests-and ire quently disappear One British firm last year bewailed the loss of a dozen, and re- ported that as many more were stolen from their contractors. Another firm lost nine, only three of which were recov- cred. As the average value of the ele- plants is about s1000 a head. the consul naturally enlarges on the seriousness of the matter What Is annoying about it is that the officials are indifferent, and if one of the missing creatures Is recovered at all it Is only by means of a search party organized for the purpose
