HURT By BURSTING FUNGUS
Exploding PuffbalI Cause Of Somewhat

At Valenclennes, France, two people

often considerably larger than mans

In the walnscoting Of workman's
cottage suddenly burst open releasing
enormous numbers of spores. An idea
of the vast quantities of spores pro
duced by these puffballs may be gath
cred from the fact that one specimen
examined at the Birmingham univer-
sity, England, was calculated to have
produced no less than 70O0,00O,O0OO00.
Many puffballs release their spores
through a small opening at the top,
but the Calvatia split right open more
or less suddenly. The spores of these
fungi have an intensely irritating eff
feet on the lining Of the nose and
throat and 1t can be believed that the
sudden bursting of large Calvatia in
a small apartment would have most
unpleasant effects.
Formerly, we now learn, the spores
Of puffballs were used in place Of
snuff, seeing that small pinch would
bring on the most violent sneezing.
The Calvatia often turns up In most
unexpected places and will grow where
there is any damp material like rot

who shot him? But that leaves me
with the problem: who is who? So
recapltulate and, to throw new light
on the thing, restate the whole prob

who7 And who is who? But that's
the same "who is who" l had before
Or whom? No, no; whom was 1t

the CHASTITY miser anyway. Nor does
anyone else. And yet for almost three

BUILDS ITS NEST ON ROCK
Peculiarly of South American Bird,
Which Is Much Sought After
for Its Pumaae.

Cock of the Rock is q remarkable
bird Of northern South America, so
called from building Its nest on rocks,
1t is about the size of large pigeon,
The male is almost purely orange In
plumage and has a remarkable Hat
sided crest. The female is of dull
olive brown, and is, interested. The
birds inhabit rocky water courses and
bushy hillsldes, where they remain
close to the ground and build thclr
nests, largely of mud, on some rock,
The males court the females by as
sembling for dances" In certain
cleared spaces, each displaying its
snowy plumage by queer antics until
chosen by some observant hen.
Great numbers of the birds are
killed annually, as their skins not
only command high price for mil,
llnery purposes, but are much em.
ployed by the Indians In making a
variety Of beautiful decorations. They
are thus becoming rare A large state
mantle, formerly worn by the emperor
of Brazil, was entirely composed of
their feathers. The flesh Of the birds
is well favored, but of very peculiar
color, being bright orange red.

Senator James w. Wadsworth Of
New York tells this story In the New

providing for the retirement, with full

rider was opposed by some members Of

discussion.

one Of honor The honor is chosen by
popular election for life, or for rs

ROCKVILLE. MARYLAND. FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 81

I'll have Bess bring him over some
time"
I'm cage? Oh, by all means have
her bring him. 1t wcald be awfully

Now Betty always brings the persons
she is interested in under my critical
vision, SO l at once became interested
In this particular "bear,"
l have a pleasant little place, and
many party have l given for this
same niece, Betty Cher family is not
wealthy, and l proceeded at once to
suggest a garden party. She stayed to
luncheon, and we worked 1t all out on
paper-just how we would decorate the
grounds and everything-and decided
to issue the invitations then and there
for the following Thursday.
The party was success-every one
Of the young people who came said so.
Betty, who is brunette. looked a very
queen in pale yellow gown, and Mr..
Jack Carew never took his eyes from
her unless absolutely obliged to do so.
I wondered at Betty, she was so ex-
tremely gracious to him.
Next morning Betty came over and
told me they were engaged
"Jack was DEAR" she said "and
begged my pardon most humbly for
being so rude that night"-Betty
doesn't know l saw the bicycle cpl
sode-"and-and he asked me to marry
him and go and live in his big house
on the avenue in town, and take charge
of him and the servants, an1--I'm
going to do it, Aunt Peggy! There !"
Betty speaks quickly, anyway, and
she was quite breathless when she had
finished.
"But l thought he was a horrid bear
and-and everything a short time
ago." said, mimlcking her tones.
"Oh, l was angry then" And Betty
flashed her most brilliant smile at me
didn't have time to say anything
more, for Betty gave me a squeeze
that quite took my breath away, and
before got 1t back again she was flying
away toward home at hreakneck speed
Mr.. Carew and she drove by Il few
minutes later In his fine new trap
drawn by pair of splendldly matched
horses, and Betty waved to me as they
