uUSuTCOmS,

An enthusiast on the subject Of mush-
rooms says there is no more reason
to mistake q good mushroom for a
poisonous toadstool than to confound
nightshade with kuckleberries. The
distinctions are clear and simple and
easily learned Real mushrooms are
known by their beautiful pink gills,
not .'eaching the stem, which stem car
ries well marked white woolly ring;
by the very feshy down covered top,
the delicious and enticing fragrance,
the firm, white flesh, sometimes In
clined to pink when cut or broken.
One or two rules in regard to gathering
mushrooms, we are told, will remove
all the peril from the pursuit Of them.
Examine carefully every specimen you
gather. If at all doubtful, throw it
away. Show 1t to somebody that
knows. Never cook mushrooms IN
less you know they are gathered by
somebody that knows.

In the year 1913 or thereabout, be

of overhanging trees, is as happily de-
void Of suggestions Of modern "im-

By means of this byway Balzac,

Birds Names.

There are some odd names for game
birds on the Chesapeake. a small shy
snipe that flies with q twittering noise
is called the horsefoot snipe because Of
its fondness for the horsefoot or horse
shoe crab. It is called also the turn
stone from it's habit Of oyerturing peb-
bles in search Of food The telltale
snipe bears that name because it al
ways sounds note Of alarm at the
sight Of gunner. Chesapeake gunners
believe that single telltale can clear

widgeon IS locally called the bald pate,
and the willet is so called because Of
its cry-w1ll-w will-wiIlet.

Although there are strict laws

expenses run from that up to $4,000.
