MUSHROOMS AND
TOADSTOOLS
By ERNST A. BESSEY, East Lansing, Mich.
Professor CT Botany, Michigan Agricultural College
h%~~~e~~@@%%%~%@~~4%~%~$@%A

The abundant fall of rains having
brought out a large crop Of fungi
in the woods fields and lawns, the
old question has come again to the
fore: How can tell mushrooms from
tcadstools?" In the first place, the
words mushrooms and tcadstools are
practically synonymous, is being in
correct to reserve the first name for
the edible and the second for the poi
in correct form, one should ask How
shall l distinguish edible from poison
Gus mushrooms"
In the first place, there is no one
rule which can be used to distinguish
the two. The following rules are dan
gerous, because they do not distin-
guish the edible from the poisonous
ones, viz: Cooking the mumshrooms
with q silver spoon; putting salt upon
the under side of the gill to notice
whether they change color; the pres
ence Of pink gils; the fact that the
skin of the cap will peel off easily; the
fact that the taste is mild, etc. AS
for the silver spoon, nearly every
mushroom, whether edible or poison
Gus, will turn silver spoon black IL
the mushroom is little old, while
most mushrooms whether poisonous or
otherwise, if fresh, will not blacken the
spoon. The change of color of the gills
due to salt has nothing TO do with
their poisonous quality. 1t is true that
the common cultivated mushroom,
which is the same as the common field
mushroom, has pink gills when young,
but there are some species of pink
gills which are looked upon by botan-
lists with great suspicion. AS for the
peeling off of the skin of the cap, that
is characteristic which is common
to some-of the poisonous ones as well
as to some of the edible ones. Indeed
some of the edible ones do not peel
we'll The taste cannot be used as
criterion, for some of the most dead
ly mushrooms are pleasant to the
taste, while some of the most whole.
some ones are, before cooking, very
peppery.
There is one good rule. and it is
the only safe one, namely. know the
particular mushroom you wish to eat
as we'll as you would know your best
friend. Never eat a mushroom on the
description given by some neighbor
unless the description enables you 10
definitely locate certain plants. Even
then, do not eat them unless you have
full confidence in your neighbor's abil-
ity to know the good kinds from the
bad. Far more cases of poisoning are
due to people ignorantly mistaking POI.

Kidney Trouble
Is Very Deceptive
Few Realize They're Affected Till
Danger Point is Reached--Dr.
Derby's Kidney Pills Work
Wonders-Sample Free!

Kidney disease is much more common
than most people imagine. Many sufferers
dc, not know what's ailing them-until the
trouble becomes serious. Some trifing af-
lection may run into the dread diabetes,
dropsy or Bright's disease before one realizes
there's anything wrong with his kidneys.
Usually the most noticeable symptoms
which first appear are far from the seat of
the trouble, and the sufferer mistakes the
nature of his ailment. Dull headaches or
nervousness, for instance, he never thinks of
as signs of diseased kidneys.
Even the aching back and sides, rheuma-
tisrn, pains or twitching in groins or limbs,
sore, infamed muscles, he may consider in
dications of some other trouble. Unnaturally
colored or cloudy urine, too frequent or too
scanty urnation, burning sensation, are of
course readily recognized as symptoms of
such disorders.
Because of the deceptive and dangerous
character of these ailments, if you suspect
your kidneys are diseased, lose no time in
beginning treatment. The best possible
remedy for you is DR.. Derby's Kidney Pills.

in the market. They act in two ways

From the standpoint Of the butcher
or packer the head from the carcass
of beef animal is only worth a few
cents commercially while the rest OF
the animal may reach a value OF from
fifty to one hundred dollars, depend
ing on its size and quality. On the
other hand, however, the head is a
valuable factor to the feeder in Sc
lecting animals to prepare for mar
ket with prospects of profitable re-
turns for the feed consumed. Stand
ards of excellence describing all the
points of a perfect beef animal have
been devised as well as those for feed
er cattle which differ very materially
in conformation and quality from the
finest animal. 1t is extremely diff
cult to apply a scale of points TO the
feeder as there are SO many varied
degrees of flesh and condition.
The score card for finished beef
animal calls for z compact, blocky
form, deep, thick and square. with
broad, level, we'll feshed black, long
deep thick quarters. broad, well COW
cred shoulders, deep wide chest and
good handling qualities. The same
standard calls for short broad head
with large mild eyes and large muzzle
and big expansive nostrils. Now the
thinner a good beef animal becomes
the less will its body conformation
correspond to the standard, until the
very opposite conditions may be
reached as state of great emacia-

The Bishop and the Boy.

The late Bishop Williams of Con-
necticut was very fond of children,
and 1t was always a joy to us young
sters when he came for his visit to my
fathers parish. His anecdotes and
stories enlivened the whole household.
Once when he was staying with us he
told the following story:
"One Sunday morning, just after
breakfast, / repaired to the rector's
study. where / was soon followed by
his little four-year-old son, who
climbed up on my knee and began to
talk. Suddenly the little fellow look
ed up into my face and said: 'Bissop.
do 90 want to see my piggy book?'
Eyes. indeed said l. So the child
slid down and started to get the book
When halfway across the room a sud-
den idea seemed to strike him, and,
running back and putting one hand on
my knee, he looked up in my face and
shook his little forefinger at me, whis-
pering: Bissop, it's Sunday. We must
do zis on re !'"-Harper's Maya

mails. An animal with long narrow
head, small muzzle, small nervous
eyes would be almosc sure to possess
the very opposite qualities as de.
scribed in the standard for q perfect
beef animal and would have back OF
such a head long slim neck, long
back, fiat ribs and narrow, poorly
heshed shoulders and hind quarters.
The eye would indicate q tempera-
ment the opposite Of that desired in
good feeder. The correlation of
parts in the animal body is so close
and intimate that the stockman who
has observed closely should be able
to give an accurate description of the
general conformation OF the finished
body of an animal with the head only
exposed to view as in the case Of one
projected out through an open Win
dow with the body concealed.
The short broad head and large
placid eye shown in the accompanying
Illustration belong to a very unusually
well developed beef type body.

still have no trouble, eat a piece as

There is Neither Anger Nor Bitter ness in the Heart of Andrew 10th, Who Was imprisoned Twenty Years For Another's Crime, but OnlyUn finite Weariness.

Twenty years, two months and nine
 days Andrew 10th spent in prison,
 says the New York Evening Post. All that time he knew he was innocent of the crime of which he had been con victed-killing a man in the Home
 stead riot of 1S91-but the real mur- derer had fled the country. Last year this old man, Steve 10th, on his deathbed, confessed his guilt, and now Andrew is free.
 10th will sail for his old home in Hungary next Tuesday on the Kron- prinzessin Cecile, and in the mean time, he is staying with his niece Mary Zighry. at 503 East Eightieth street. Outside there were poys flying kites and a man peddling keys to- day, but nothing to show that inside was an innocent man who had spent third of his life behind prison bars. old man Toth-he is 62-sat alone by a window in the little parlor of the fiat, looking out at the clothes lines in the back yard. He might have sat al the front window, but from there he could not help seeing, down the street, the United States flag waving over the institutions at BlaCkweIrs Island. As a matter of fact, the par ticular institution he would see would be the Metropolitan hospital, and not the penitentiary. but they are all the same to him and they have the un- pleasant reminders and suggestions.
 The Habit of Silence.
 He shifted his eyes from the clothes lines to look at his visitor. dropped them as he rose and shook hands slowly, and then sat down and looked at the clothes lines again, all with out a word. For twenty years he had done so little talking that silence had become a habit, and he is too old now to break it. When he spoke his words were slow and muffled:
 Yes, l go to Hungary to the little village where I used to live. and where my wife is now." he said. "I left her there twenty-seven years ago with baby three months old. Today he is grown up and married and has children of his own.
