AS TO MUSHROOMS.

There is an unreasoning fear of canned
mushrooms. There are comparatively few
Instances where poisoning can be traced to
their use, and the greatest care is exer-
cised in packing them.
A good test, however, that the mush-
rooms are all right, is that when the can
is opened they look clear and perfect. of a
delicate buff color, without any dark spots.
The liquid in the can should be clear. that
is, not thick, and just slightly colored by
the mushrooms.
The can itself should be- bright and clean.
and If there is the slightest suspicion of
verdigris or discoloration, the mushrooms
should not be used.

A sensible person was Elsie, to clear
out her storehouse of recollections. The
future holds too much to waste much
time In dwelling on the vents of the

ghost remains. And why harbor a

brighter tomorrow. Only in this way

survivaTs, Not Amerioanisms.

their speech plentifully with "calcu-

the opening of each sentence. This
mode of marking. or any other is in
itself totally unimportant, but lin

Showing how you shot and grew
Every blessed season through?

Did you back against the wood,
Stand as straightly as you could?
With book upon your head
Did they draw the careful lead?

As Injurious to Health as Woman'a
Mothers Club Hears.

Mrs. Lille Devereaux Blake thinks
that mems clothes are just as uncom-
Portable and injurious to health as
women's, and as they are the lords of
creation and women follow meekly in
their footsteps she holds them re-
sponsible for the irrational clothing
of both sexes. Talking to the New
York City Mothers Club, she said:
Men wear atrocious clothes. They
are both hideous and uncomfortable
and detrimental to health. l should
think they would be glad to put on
women's clothes. These poor, miser-
able men, l feel sorry for them when
| see them dressed in the same
clothes that they wear in winter when

had been carrying around twenty-four
pounds. And 1t had never occurred
to her that her clothes were heavy.
In another case l found a woman
wearing twenty-five thicknesses of
cloth around her waist and only one
over her chest"
Mrs. Woolman also said that women
were not interested in their homes.
fact which she attributed to defective
education. For the same reason, she
said, they didn't know how to buy,
and that by insisting on cheapness
while they knew nothing about qlal-
ity they force manufacturers into
adulteration and dishonesty. In these
matters Mrs. Blake also came to the
defence of her sex.
For every woman who neglects
her home" she said, "there is a man
who neglects his. And 1t Is no won
der If we want things cheap. for we
are the pauper sex. When a woman
works hard rearing children and TAX
ing care of house she has right to
an adequate share Of her husbands
income. but she has only what he
chooses to dole out to her. OF course,
husbands are generally good fellows,
quite as good as their wives as rule,

much, but they don't always see that
their wives have the money that is
theirs by right."-New York Tribune.
