Value of Mush rooms a. Food.

Value of Mush rooms a. Food.
From the Journal Of ths American Medieal As.ccia,
tion.
There are in this country more than
100 edible species of mushrooms. The
popular distinction between mushroom
and toadstool is one of name only. Many
of the. supposedly inferior specimens
have proved on careful examination to
be harmless. where as some of those
which bear an extremely close family
resemblance to favored articles Of diet
are the carriers of danger In the form
Of exceedingly powerful poisons. Lot
him, therefore, who lacks the training
requisite for the unfailing detection and
Identification Of species carefully refrain
from excursions into fields Of uncertainty
10 fraught with danger.
Mushrooms form an unusually nutri-
tious and sustaining diet. A well known
botanist says that mushrooms might
properly be called vegetable meat and
used as q substitute for animal food.
II 10 doubtful, however. II that 10
true. The more We learn Of mush-
rooms, the more II becomes appar-
ent that they scarcely differ - regards
dietary virtues from the general run Of
the green vegetables which have never
achieved the distinction OF any unique
or superior nutritive properties. Thsy
belong rather to that large group Of food
materials which we consume for reasons
quite apart from the Yield Of nourish-
ment which they have to o6sr - ~

which is the only fashion Of riding here
Evidently the Duchess Of Cleveland rode
cross-saddle. It is a custom that has been
in use among French and Italian horse
women for two centuries.
When she was sixty. Lady Mary wrote
from her italian home at Lovere that
she preserved her health by constant

cannot help being amased at the OBJ
stinate folly by which the English ladies
venture every day their lives and limbs"
All Sorts Of Games
grandmammas were not cornered by Lady
Mary. 1t seems. from the accounts in
publications. that great-great-srandmam
ma hunted, raced. played cricket. fished.
boxed. coursed and drove and did these
things not sporadically. but universally.
Mr.. Spectator" In the early part Of
the eighteenth century. was highly shock

styles In riding dress. The issue abounds
in such mouth filling remarks as the part

thinks Of you does not only show you to
be arrogant but abandoned" and with
dark hints As to a certain equestrian or
der Of ladies, some OF whom one meets
In an evening At every outlet OF the
town."
Upon the heels Of this sermon follows
description Of one Of the offending
ladies. Mr.. Spectator At FIRST mistook the
horsewoman for "a very fair youth. who
rode in the midst Of them. His
hair, well curled and powdered. hung to
considerable length on his shoulders.
and was wantonly tied - In q scar

which was Q petticoat Of the same with
the coat and waistcoat." This disclosure
leads Mr.. Spectators correspondent to
some pertinent reflections on the ''distinc-
tIon Of appearance" Of those who preserve
the beauty Of their own different charac-
tiers; that Englishwomen need aim .:
nothing better than that they would
be themselves. that II what nature design
Cd them" and that these manly ladies
should study men who affect the softness
and effeminacy Of . woman" in order
to realise the extent to which women
misapply their talents when endeavoring
10 take en- the resemblance OF man"
In July. 17l2, Addison himself repeats
the attack on the offending riding cos
tunes. ending with the advice that these
masculine ladies ought to complete their
folly by wearing breeches also" Poor
Addison would be yet more Mortified could
he see that innumerable ladies two GEN.

artists out of his realm. Princess Flora
Is sent to a convent after being caught
on secret visit to Fernand
Count Cauchu visits the prince in
the convent and offers her freedom II
she will reciprocate his passion. She
scornfully repulses him. Disguised as
a peasant girl she escapes from the
convent and fees with Fernand and his
companions.
The second act discovers Princess
Flora in Fernand's studio: really it is
expected that the part will fit her like
a glove She shares all the hardships
OF the life OF an Impoverished genius; ;
such as Giron. perhaps.
Count Cauchu brings to her the news
that the king is dead. her husband will
forgive her. she can be queen. but again
only on the condition that she yields to
Cauchu. Flora at first refuses, then
wavers: and ultimately a compromise Is
affected. She will return to court pro-
vided Fernand and his three friends
are given place around the throne.
The third act takes place in the gloomy
reception room at the palace. The first
scene depicts the arrival Of Flora and
her four friends The gay company 10
strongly In contrast with the Assem-.
blage Of grave men who surround the
young king. The act is entirely devoted
to satire Of court personages and Of
court customs and morals. In 1t Nine.

er. II has been discovered that great-great-

True II - that Lady Mary Wortley
Montague. who lived in tho 1750s, wrote
that 1t Is a. scandalous for q woman
not to know how to use a needle as for
a man not to know how to use a sword .
But Lady Mary was 20 far from taking all

Indeed, Lady Mary went stag hunting
