MUSHROOMS, GOOD AND BAD
Larger Numoer of the e,ooo Fungi of America Are Appetlzlns and
 Nutritious.

Of the 5000 fungi of the United States three are poisonous. further three unwholesome, but the larger number of the rest afford as appetiz- Ing and nutritious food as man could ask. In the shops cultivated mushrooms bring from 50 cents to $l a pound. Many of the wild ones are finer favored and are to be had for the gathering. In the city of Chicago alone 50,00O persons could dine daily on this food for the gour- mand without exhausting the SUD- ply to be gathered within the mu- nlcipal limits. Ignorance is costly
 Six bad varieties of the mushroom family prevent the utilization of 5000 good ones-and yet it is easy to distinguish the poisonous kinds. nor difficult to identify the others. The trouble is that the works treat Ing or the fungi are rare and easily, hence not to be found outside of libraries.
 Here is field for public interven- tion and some of the states have rec ognized this. The state of New York has published a volume beau- tifully illustrated, describing the fungi found growing within its terri tory. T. c. Clements, state botan- ist of Minnesota, has issued the fourth volume of "Minnesota Plant Studies" which deals with the mushrooms of that state. He de- scribes over 300 varieties. The three deadly amanitas (phalloid, vernal and fy) are figured and de- scribed, so that they could not fail to be recognized by any person of average intelligence.-Journal of Clinical Medicine.

Charley Ellison Was Up on Horses but Habits Of Canine Was
 Closed Book.

Charley Ellison is up on horses but was not up on dogs. At one time in Hot Springs he paid $10o for a bird dog, partly through fam ciful notion and partly because the dog was handsome animal.
 He sought the seller next day and said:
 q thought you claimed this WAS bird dog. He was gone for three hours yesterday and didn't bring back a single bird"
 Passing up the hunters and going in for trick animals, Ellison had dog at Sheepshead Bay to which he would give smell of S5 bill and later sent it to bring the money home.
 A visiting horseman located the plant before the dog did and substi- tuted a S1 bill.
 When the retriever showed up FL ison said:

KNOW YOURSELF.

There is something that a man car do thoroughly well. It should be the first business of his life to find out what that something is. One man may have talent for mathematics, another for mechanic arts, a third for commercial pursuits But if all were to insist upon keeping books there would be no books to keep.
 It is great waste of time to at- tempt the impossible. Genius is often judgment. The enthusiastic brother who dreamed that he saw the letters c. P. c. written upon the sky be- lieved that it was a divine call to him to "Go preach Christ" But, aft. CT his dreary sermons had driven away the congregation he concluded that the letters meant "Go plant corn."- ."-Los Angeles Times.

BEING TOLERANT.

Everyday life is filled with a lot very hard problems. Each individ- ual can solve them to a large extent by a little inner reflection, by over- coming prejudices, by permitting other people to enjoy their own kind of pleasure, their own ideas, and to work out their own salvation accord ing to their conscience.
 The art of being tolerant is sim- ply the art of minding your own business and granting other people the privilege that one asks for him. self.
 It is the healthy, everyday, nor nal life that comes nearest to good ness, that lassos and keeps friends, that has the greatest power of exer- cising good influence over others. One doesn't have to keep racing along with the fastest to keep in the parade of humanity.

PART IN NATURES SCHEME
Snake Really Is Most Useful Crea- ture, Though Never Likely to
 Be Popular.

What is the use of snakes? In their "going on their belly" the cir constance that so often offended Ba- con, lies one of their greatest uses, because that, together with their in- ternal formation and external cover- ing, enables them to penetrate where no larger carnivorous animal could venture, into dark and noisome mo- rasses, bog jungles, swamps amid the tangled vegetation of the tropics, where swarms of the lesser reptiles, on which so many of them feed, would outbalance the harmony of na- ture.
 Wondrously and exquisitely con. structed for their habitat, they are able to exist where the higher ani- mals could not; and while they help to clear those inaccessible places of the lesser vermin, they themselves supply food for a number of the smaller mammalia, which, with many carnivorous birds, devour vast numbers of young snakes.
 The hedgehog, weasel, ichneumon, rat, peccary, badger, goat, hog, and an immense number of birds keep snakes within due limits, while the latter perform their part among the grain devouring and herbivorous les ser creatures.-Harper's Weekly.

JUDGE OF HUMAN NATURE.

Dogs are unerring judges of hu- man nature. Instinctively they spot hypocrisy, snobbery and fear. It is a wise young man who at that criti- cal period of his life when he is seeking to double his expenses and divide his income in matrimony, takes his dog with him when he goes courting. If he lets the dog pick out the girl the chances are that he will get paragon of virtue with no divorce coupon attached. The girl who knows the way to a dogs heart has a heart of her own that is well worth the winning. Trust your dog to pick out the right girl for you and you will never draw @ blank with a mushy charlotte russo character and constitutional objections to alarming and sewing on shirt buttons.-Pennsylvania Grit.

was for some time threatened with de-

The efforts of the fire fighters, COM

The automobile which caused the

and stopped the machine in front of the
block while he went ahead to inquire

the machine it reared into the block,
smashing window and exploding the
gasoline tank.
The automobile party sounded an

Part of Scalp Torn OF.

Miss Elsie Willett of Burlington, en-
ployed in No. weave room at the
American Wooden mills at Winooski..
was the victim of terrible accident
last Friday afternoon when her hair
was caught in loom and a part of
her scalp torn off on the left side of
her head. The rest of her head, where
the hair was pulled out by the roots.
presented a bleeding surface. The
accident occurred while she was at work
when some stray locks caught in the
loom. The machine was going full
blast, but it was stopped in time to
save her being drawn into it. The
loom had to be taken apart in order to
release her from its grasp. Miss Will
lett was resting fairly comfortably at
her home Sunday. The full seriousness
OF the accident cannot be determined
until it is ascertained if her wounds are
infected
