mated value Of the Dutch vessels.

ed by the Royal Dutch Lloyd's, each

co and other valuable goods, such
as skins from the Dutch East Indies,

gether from British port, believed
to be Falmouth, on February %. The
total tonnage sunk for the day, in
Guiding the Dutch and four British

en- Dutch vessels left Falmouth on
Thursday, three being outward bound
from Holland and four homeward
bound. The steamers had come into
Falmouth, at different dates and had
been released at the special request
of the Dutch government.
No inquiry was made of the Brit
ish authorities as to what was the
best way of sailing or as to the prop
er precautions to take, as it was be-
lieved the ships were sailing under a
safe conduct from Germany and the
captains received special private in
structions from the Dutch govern
ment, An official of the Dutch lega-

PUFFBALLs ARE GOOD FOOD.
And Of All the Edible Fungi They Are
Gailad Ahn QafaeA

And Of All the Edible Fungi They Are
Called the Safest.
Puffballs are the safest of all fungi
for the beginner, none of them being
poisonous. and they are at the same
time excellent and easy to obtain
writes William A. Murrill, assistant
director of the New York botanical gar
den, In the American Museum Journal
Being tender, they cook quickly and
are easily digested. They should as a
rule be cut open before cooking to see
that they are not too old and that they
are really puffballs. II they are white
and firm like cream cheese inside, show
ing no yellow or brownish discolora-
ton, they are Of the right age to use.
II the interior shows no special struc-
lures, but is smooth and homogeneous.
then one may be sure he has a puffball

which are readily seen when the egg
is cut, and the egg of the stinkhorn

substance
Pufballs may be cooked alone In va
r1ous ways or used In stews and ON
elets and for stuflng roast fowls
When used tn omelets they should be
stewed first. All kinds except the very
small one should first be peeled and
cut into slices or cubes, after which
they may be fried quickly In butter or
dipped In beaten egg and fried like
eggplant or cooked In any of the ways
recommended for the ordinary mush-
room. The smaller kinds are much In
ferior In flavor to the larger ones and
need few specimens Of some good
mushroom TO make them attractive.

"The man who Is suffering with

not know where the next dollar Is com

We hear a great deal these days
about efficiency and about ineflciency.
The fellow who has saved o few dol
lars and has them In the bank or where
be can put his hand upon them is more
efficient than the fellow who Is penni-
less. Start out to find Job with new
er dollar In your pocket Youu have
hard time. You appear at disad-
vantage when you approach business
man. You feel your dependence. You
have a cowardly air sbont you, an In
efficient air. You realize that you viii
have to accept anything that is~offered.
You are In no position to look the bust
ness man in the face and tell him your
qualifications. Want Is at your back,
Causing you to crtnge.
But with money In your pockets you
assume different attitude. You real
lie that You are to that extent inde-
pendent You meet the business man
more nearly upon an equal footing.
You are more courageous, more self
assertive. more efficient. You know
that you are not compelled 10 accept
the first Job offered you. You can dis
cuss wages and contracts and condi-
tons Of employment II you are not

The term "6candinavians" Is not con-
fined to the Norwegians. The Norwe-
CLANS are indeed Scandinavians, but so
also are the Swedes, Danes and Ice
landers. For that matter, the Ger
mans, English and Americans of Eng
fish stock are also of the Scandinavian
stock, since it Is more than probable
that Germany was originally stocked
from the land Of the mortimer, and 1t
is from the north German stock that
the so called Anglo-Saxon comes.
