Mushrooms.

An enthusiast on the subject of mush-
rooms says there Is no more reason
to mistake q good mushroom for
poisonous toadstool than to cenfound
nightshade with huckleberries. The
distinctions are clear and simple and
easily learned Real mushrooms are
known by their beautiful pink gills,
not reaching the stem, which stem car
ries a we'll marked white woolly ring;
by the very deshy 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 1t
away. Show 1t to somebody that
knows. Never cook mushrooms I'M
less you know they are gathered by
somebody that knows.

you tell them under an umbrella.
There is very little use trying to con

If chemists and druggists disappear
ed from the face Of the earth humanity
could still worry along with the simple
remedies which nature yields, prac-
tlcally ready made. There is nothing
to beat rhubarb juice as a cure for
govt or rheumatism except water from
medicinal springs. All kinds Of scurvy
and blood poisoning yield to the juice
Of lemons or Of lines, which are the
greatest blood purifiers in existence.
Even doctors acknowledge that nat
ural, fresh cream from cows milk can
give points to cod liver oil and similar
nasty liquids In treating consumption.
Common mustard used as a plaster or
poultice Is the best cure for cold on
the chest, and the white of an egg with
sugar is the finest medicine for hoarse-
ness. To cure burn an application OF
the white skin that lines the shell OF
an egg is unbeatable, while the raw
yolk is n capital tonic. In fact, gar
dens and roadsides are full Of herbs OF
which the juice or leaves afford rene

ease to which humanity Is heir.-New

The Word "Canteen."

A strange genealogical history is
that possessed by the word "canteen'
which has caused so much talk in
temperance and army circles-if its ORR
gin IS correctly assigned to the old
Latin "quintana," which literally means
"of the fifth rank" or fifth in order"
The "quintana VIA" was a street in
the Roman camp so called because 1t
came between the fifth maniple, or
company, and the sixth. Here all the
business and marketing Of the camp
were done, and "quintana" eventually
came to mean a market - Chicago

GOOD CHEER AT MEALS.
The Value of Laughter as an Aid to
Digestion.

The Value of Laughter as an Aid to
Digestion.
Nothing else will take the place Of
good cheer and laughter at meals OF:
any other time IN the home. There Is
a vital connection between amiability
and igestion--between good cheer and
assimilation. Laughter Is the best
friend the liver has and depression or
melancholia its worst enemy. Numer-
GUS experiments have shown that mirth
and cheerfulness stimulate the secre-
ton Of the gastric juices and are pow
erful aids to digestion. Yet, knowing
this, many Of us sit as gloomy and alb
sorbed at the table as at q funeral.
In many homes scarcely a word is
spoken at meals outside of requests for
an article of food.
The meal hour ought to mean some
thing besides supplying mere animal
function. The bell which calls the
family to the table ought to be the sig
nal for a good time generally, when
all cares should be thrown of and ev-
erybody appear at his best. 1t ought
to signalize the time for mirth and
laughter. 1t ought to be looked for
ward to by the members of the fami
ly as the recess or incoming is looked
forward to by pupils In school as a let
up from the strenuous life.-Orisol

Luminous Centfpeds.

Lizard, snake and natural electric
light plant all rolled into one-this Is
the luminous centiped, one Of the most
interesting creatures In nature. 1t Is
about one and quarter inches long
and covered with short hairs. Its body
is very narrow and appears to be in
sections. In consequence Of this pecul-
lar formation the creature appears to
move sidevise except when frightened.
Then the natural electric light plant
feature appears, and, with an almost
instantaneous wavelike motion, begin
ming at the tail, the color Of the reptile
changes from orange to a greenish
phosphorescent shade. Then, sparkling
with a tiny streak Of green light, the
creature darts away TO a place Of ref
uge. When one Of the pair is In search
Of its mate, the color grows a bright
yellow, but at will the centiped can re
sumo its darker color, and then, If ly
