Mushroom POISONING.

Every spring there are accounts of
fatal mushroom poisoning printed in
the daily papers. These are invari-
ably caused by the victim installing
the poisonous varieties for the edible
sorts, The United States department
of agriculture, Washington, d. c., has
issued a bulletin giving complete
illustrated instructions. designed to
enable anyone to distinguish the diff
ference between the varieties This
bulletin may be obtained by writing
to the secretary of agriculture, or
your own congressman. Recipes are
also given for cooking mushrooms.
The danger OF fatal consequences
is so great that nobody should take
any chances in the matter, when the
writing Of a postal card will bring
the information needed to enable one
to distinguish the edible from the
poisonous.

BRIEF FOR Usage ORANGE
mon and Deservedly Popular
American Plant.

A Missouri correspondent of the
Youths Companion comes loyalty to
the defense of the Usage orange,
which we permitted ourselves to
speak of as wood that has no par
ucular value beyond it's use as dye
stuff.
The Usage orange, he says, is a
favorite hedge plant in the middle
West, because it grows very quickly,
endures close trimming, and forms a
tough, efficient barrier, when used for
fencing. In or out of the ground
1t is remarkably durable, and Usage
fence posts sell at high prices. Earth
er south than Missouri it grows tall
enough to be used for telegraph and
telephone poles.
In the extreme south where in the
veTnacular it is known as bow dock"
apparently a contraction of bois
dare II is much used in the manufac-
ture of cart and wagon wheels. The
wood is tough and hard, and IL con-
tracts and expands very little when
exposed to the extremes of flood or
drought
AS fuel Usage wood has few
equals, and live stock often eat it's
fruit, the hedge orange or hedge

Planted in groves, the tree grows
rapidly and appears to be absolutely
free from disease. The heart wood.

The characteristics that make its
enemies abuse the Usage are the very
qualities that recommend it to its
friends. The seasoned wood is SO
hard that you can hardly drive a nail
or fence staple into it, The dense
mass Of tough branches and needle
pointed thorns make a fine fence, but
they irritate the men who must att2ck
a neglected, overgrown hedge. The
very sturdiness and hardness that
enable the Usage orange hedge to en-
dure rough treatment and to hold its
own against the assaults of live stock
are likely to annoy the man who

The blood rushed into Delia's
cheeks. For all his smooth words,
then. he had mistaken her for com
mon adventures for money. her who
had never sought anything but love.
and had always failed to find ii.
At that moment she heard a light
step in the hall without 1t was so
light that the millionaire. who was
absorbed in signing his name to the
check which he had already with
drawn from his pocket. failed to de-
tect it. The woman's heart leaped up.
1t was Charles-her lover-whom she
loved better than all the world. A
surge of anger swept over her.
But the fathers words had sunk in
deep. She had indeed often thought
of what the future might bring to
them. She had begun to realize that
love may not be captured, that he is
elusive to those who seek him and
only comes to those whose lives are
set in other molds than hers.
A few years with Charles, and. as
the father had said. the end would
come. At thirty-five he would be in
the prime of life; she. at fortyone

And the spell of the past was on
her, and she knew that she, who had
loved in vain. could never hope to
make this new love hers
She heard the footstep stop at the
door, which was imperceptibly open
Charles had seen his father, or heard
his voice, and hesitated, not knowing
what course to take.
And in that moment the impulse of
remuneration came to the woman.
Yes, If your check is good | will
accept it, she said brazenly, stretch
ing out her hand to Hardwick's, to re-
ceive the paper.
1T is quite good, said the father
complacently. you agree. then, to
