THE BEAUTIFUL BUT VENOMOUS AMANITA FAMILY. -" I Beneath tho I'leualnir Rxterlor of IliU Brilliant Fungui Lurka n Vic-loan Poison That In Fatal to the Lives of Men anil Cattle. In the dark shade of lofty pine trees and under spreading oaks in more open woods a mushroom is found so remarkable In color and graceful in form that its beauty has excited ad miration for hundreds of years. The color of Its bright orange cap and its chalk white stem and gills is height ened by the surrounding darkness of the woods and presents a contrast as singular as It Is beautiful. But beneath the pleasing exterior of this brilliant fungus a poison lurks so fatal to the lives of men and cattle that It Is called the deadly amanKa, and In different countries mothers cau tion their children to beware of Its charms. Amanita muscarla, the deadly, or j fly, amanita, Is completely Incased in a fleece-like covering during the early stages of its growth, which makes It decidedly egg shaped in form. As tho stem lengthens this covering either adheres hi loose patches to thf top of the cap or it slips away and forms a sheathing to the cup at tho baso of the stem. Another inner covering breaks away in Its turn from the cap as the mush room expands and forms a conspicuous collar about the upper part of the stem. The bulbous base of the stem j and these ruptured, fleecy coverings i are pronounced characteristics which are most helpful In distinguishing this dangerous fungus from the other varie- 1 ties of mushrooms. It Is stroug, free from pests and grows to a height from four to sixteen i Inches. In color the cap Is sometimes bright scarlet again orange or yellow or reddish In the center and light yel low toward the edges, and It has no ticeable wartlike patches spread over the top. On old plants the color fades out and late toi the season particularly forms of the deadly amanita are found which are ulmost white. The stem is easily separated from the cup at Its base. This mushroom Is more generally known than any of the other poison ous species. It has long been usod a« a fly poison In Europe, and It takes its name, muscarla, from the Latiu word for a fly. Its poisonous effect upon hu man beings begins a few hours after it has been eaten. The symptoms are nausea and falntness, with cold per spiration and stupor, followed In se vere cases by death from a gradual weakening of the heart. A strong emetic should be given at once, and In all cases a physician should be called. Sulphate of atropln Is tho only known chemical antidote for this poison, and to save the patient It must be promptly administered by hypodermic injections. The poison may also be absorbed through the psres of the skin, and bad cases of poisoning have been produced by simply holding an amanita in the closed hand or breathing its exhala tions In a warm room. If poisonous mushrooms are packed In the same box with edible ones the virus from tho poisonous fungi is ab sorbed by tho harmless mushrooms, and they become as dangerous to eat as the original offenders. In certain countries the deadly ama nita seems to lose some of Its vlruien cy, and in the north of Itussia and parts of nortbeastorn Asia It is used In the strme manner as wine for its in toxicating effects. The mushrooms are {fathered Iu weather and are hung up In tho air to dry or they are some times picked fresh and put Into soup sauces. A small amount swallowed whole is enough to produce a day's in toxication. Another fatally dangerous member of the amanita family is the death cup (Amanita phalloldes), a beautiful mushroom which also grows. In jthe woods, especially In pine forests. If fs not so highly colored as the deadly amanita, and, unlike that mushroom, it has a smooth, satiny cap. It Is usu ally white or straw colored, but sped- i mens are found which are light brown, j green, yellow and spotted. The stein j is white and nearly smooth, and the cup at the base of the stem is invarla- | bly present The death cup Is even more poison ous than the deadly amanita and stunds first among all noxious fungi for its poisonous qualities. It grows ! in the eastern and middle states and In particularly large quantities near i the city of Washington. Another amanita (Amanita vernus), | found In the woods in spring. Is also very poisonous and may be told by its color, which is a creamy whits , throughout Although It Is said that the nmanltas are the only mushrooms which have proved fatal to human life, there are other varieties which cause such acute j distress that it Is well to guard against; eating them. The boletl fnr Instanca. luiva ha vera I varieties which are nonedible, although many kinds, on the other hand, make delicious food. The boletl are distin guished by a sponge-like surface of pores instead of gills beneath the cap. The harmful varieties are bitter, as a rule, and change color to blue or red when cut or broken. The edible varie ties remain white.—Annie Oakes Hunt ington in Youth's Companion. A FAMOUS DIAMOND. Curloun Incident In the History of the Kohluoor. The Kohluoor fell into the hands of the ruler of and on the con quest of the Punjab became a posses sion of Queen Victoria in the year 1850. The first authentic mention of this matchless gem is by an eastern monarch, who refers to a "Jewel valued nt the daily expenses of the whole world." A century or two later the Persian conqueror of India, seeing the diamond glitter In the turban of the unfortunate rajah, exclaimed, with rough and somewhat costly humor, "Come, let us change our turbans la pledge of friendship!" The exchange was promptly effected. The stone fell at lust Into the hands of the British, and pending Its delivery to the crown Sir John Lawrence, afterward Lord Lawrence, was made Its guardian. Ills biographer, Bosworth Smith, re lates u curious Incident of Its custody. lialf unconsciously Sir John thrust it, wrapped up In numerous folds of cloth, Into his waistcoat pocket, the whole be ing in an Insignificant little box. Ho continued the work upon which he was engaged and thought no more of his precious treasure. He changed his clothes for dinner and threw his waist coat aside, still forgetting all about the little box contained In It Some weeks afterward a message came from the viceroy sayiug that the queen had ordered the Jewel to be im mediately transmitted to her. In a moment the fact of his careless ness (lashed across Sir John, but he slipped away to his private room and with his heart In his mouth sent for his old boarer, of whom he asked; "Have you a small box that was in my waistcoat pocket some time ago?" "Yes, sahib," tho man replied. "I found It and put It In your chest of druwers." "Bring It here," said Sir John. "Open It,"he ordered when the little box had been produced, "and see what is In side." He watched the man with tense anx iety as fold after fold of the rags was taken off. "There Is nothing here, sahib," said the old man at lust, "but a bit of glass."— Sunday Magazine.

AN ODD BIRD SPECIES. Ih« Does the Courting and He Moat of the Nursery Work. Wilson's phalarope Is very common In nearly all parts of the northwestern prairies wherever there are grassy pools or sloughs. It is a quiet, beauti ful little bird, with no immodest out cries, feeding prettily along the moist marglus of tho sloughs and not dis tressing Itself over our presence. From nearly every standpoint this phalarope, like all other species of Its class, is an anomaly among the birds. Ap llffrcntly n land bird, it has partially j webbed or scailoped feet and Is a good | and graceful swimmer. Tho female is the larger and handsomer of the pair. | She does the courting and he most of ' the subsequent Incubation and nursery work. 110 Is duly meek and obedient, , us becomes the husband of an amazon, for so worthy and strenuous a young female as she will not tolerate a buck hanging around idle when there Is plenty of useful work to be done. For her part, to lay eggs so big that tho chicks are clothed and able to run at birth is all that should reasonably be expected of her. Their marital rela tions are otherwise scandalous from our point of view. Two or three Idle, vainglorious females ore often seen devoting thomselves to one little male at the height of the nesting season, and no one seems to be sure whether or not he is the husband of «ny one or all of them. Anyhow, they are all head over ears In love with him.—Her bert K. Job In Outing Magazine. INDIAN REMEDIES. Peculiar Medlenl Methods Used In the Far ICnut. Great virtues are ascribed to the claws and horns of certain animals. Tigers' claws are In great demand with the common people. Oue or two claws may be woru near the loins, but should one possess a larger number the fortu nate owner makes a garland of them and wears them around his neck. Deer's horn ground Into the paste is an excellent balm for pain and swellings. A more curious use Is found for the same substance; it lai sometimes made into a powder which Is supposed to aid the growth of stunted women. The joints taken from tho long and slender tail of the black scorpion are supposed to keep Illness at arm's distance when children wear theui on their waist thread. A red or swollen eye is cured by hav ing it touched with the bolt or chain of a door. A remedy which I have seen applied with considerable effect In more than one epileptic fit Is to place a bunch of keys in tho palm of the suffer er. I have heard It said that the fit passes away as readily If the keys are placed on the head. A rather quaint remedy In the case of a sprained neck is to use an Iron measure for a pillow.

Why Yon fthonld Let the I*hotosra pher Do the Ponfnv. "I always hate to have my picture taken, because I have such a horrid long neck," said the woman petulantly as she entered the photographer's gal lery. He smiled sympathetically. "Wait till you see the picture I take," he re plied. "You won't know your own neck, so to speak. No, It Isn't In re touching, but I always pose a long necked subject lower than the camera, and the neck shortens up. That's only one of tho tricks of tho trade. The hatchet faced man I pose looking straight Into the camera In a full light. His face seems to broaden and become more fleshy In this pose. The person with a fat, round face I placo so that soft shadows veil either side of the face, which has a tendency to make the features more clear cut and handsome. "I often have subjects with crooked noses. Now, a crooked nose should bo frankly attacked—thnt Is, the camera should be pointed directly at the crook, which reduces It.

PRISON STRIPES. Die Theory of tl»e Orljrln of Thla Hndffe of DlKfcriice. "Did you ever stop to think about the origin of the stripes we use in our prisons?" said a man with an eye for the curious. "If you have not, it will not take you long to tigure the thing out if you happen to know anything about the Bible. "For instance, in the laws and ordi nances of Deuteronomy we find the following, which will give us the clew to the origin of the stripes as a badge of infamy: 'lf there be a controversy between men and they come unto Judg ment that the Judges may Judge them, then they shall Justify the righteous itnd condemn the wicked. And it shall be If the wicked man be worthy to be beaten that the Judge shall cause him to lie down and to be beaten before his face, according to his fault, by a certain number. Forty stripes he may give him and not exceed; less If he should exceed and beat him above these with many stripes; then thy brother should seem vile unto thee.' "Now instead of inflicting these phys ical stripes we put striped clothes on the men who offend the law or who maj' come unto Judgment that the Judges may Judge them, as it is put In the text. Of course you could go much further back in history if you cared to trace the origin of marks of Infamy, but you would iind that physical mutl* latlou of some sort In a majority of in stances afforded the means."—New Or leans Times-Democrat.

NEW IDEA WOMAN'S MAGAZIZE DECEMBER NUMBER WOMEN WHO PAINT MINIATURES. The New Idea Woman's Magazine for December contains aii' article of some pages in length concerning the painting of miniatures by American women artists. In America, vome.i appear to have led in this branch of art, which dates from the time of Charles i. Interesting accounts are given of the leading American women miniature painters, amongst whom are Miss Laura C. Ilills, Miss Ethel Blanchard, Miss Martha Baker, Miss Magda Heuermnn and Mi-s Anna Lynch. Miss Hills, who "has won the reputation of being the best Am erican miniature painter of the present day,"was trained at the Art S ud enls' League in New York and lbe Art School in Boston. "She began her career as an artist by designing Christmas cards ami valentines. Af ter having gained experience in these lines she worked with pastels, her pastels including figures and land scapes. Her work wns characterized by rich coloring and great depth of feeling, and began to attract the at tention of many able critics, but she was not satisfied here. She wanted a finer method of coloring than pastels, so took up the small brush. In the beginning her orders were small, but she was willing to make the saciifice in order to realize her ambitions. Af ter working quietly for a few years, she began to exhibit at a Boston gal lery, and it was not very long before her name became know as a miniature artist at home and abroad.' OASTOHIA.

MINE BOYTN SCOTLAND AND AGAIN IN AMERICA; NOW A CONGRESSMAN The most talked-about man in this Congressional district, and, indeed, in all the mining sections in Pennsylvania, to day is William li. Wilson. Mine boy in Scotland and again mine boy in America, the story of the man's career reads like one of those delightful books based upon the lives of Lincoln or Garfield. The story of Wilson, of his boyhood* of his manhood, of his climb over the rugged steeps of poverty to high political position, is complete by one who knows the man, in the Sunday North American for November 25. It is a story every mine boy and every miner and every American voter may read with a feeling of pride in the opportunities his country offers to the deserving. The story of the career of Thomas D. Nicholls, the other miner-Congressman, will be published in the Sunday North American for Deceml)er 2. Mr. Nicholls' life is equally as engaging a subject to the character student as that of Mr. Wilson.
