Another story of mushroom poisoning has reoentty been published, and as it is every summer, the question is again raised as to the difference between muahroome that are edible and those that it is death to eat. What complicates the question le the •enormous differences of " authorities," They contradict each other on every hand. To judge from the rules laid down by one man, ie is a oettain and speedy way of ushering one's self out of the world et: go by the card of any one else. Mushrooms were poison truly, when it is considered that no less than four imperial personages met their death from eeting them. Claudius, of Rome, died in greab agony after eating a dish of morel, a mush- room in.which is concealed one of the most deadly of vegetable poisons. It had been prepared carefully for him by Queen Agrip- pina, who had learned the nature of the vegetable from a celebrated female poi- eoner of the day, and had made use of it in order to set her son,Nero, on the throne. From poisonous mushrooms died also the Emperor Tiberius, Pope Clement VII, and Charles VL, of France, to say nothing of the long list of peasants and working people on the continent, in the British Isles and America who, wandering forth into the fields, picked and ate eareleesly. A better knowledge of mushrooms is now spread over Europe, in France and Italy particularly, and the women of the French provinces and the Italian states scour the fields and meadows for the dainty so highly prized, and seldorn if ever make a mis. take. The importance of mushrooms can be seen from the fact that chemists and gastronomists have pronounced them PRACTIOALLY ANIMAL FOOD for the reason that their flesh is almost indentical in its properties with meae, and has precisely the same nourshing qualit- ies. On paper it is well nigh impossible to set down any rule for the guidanoe of the man or woman who will go forth into the fields and gather carelessly. There is this - to say, that unless one has a full scientific knowledge of the many different species, the collecting of them for food is a danger. ous matter. Though to naturalists each species, has its own marked points of difference these points will pass the atten- tion of the casual seeker and he will go astray. If one must gather , in the meadows the safest way is to have , ome scientific friend point out a perfectly safe spades. Examine this carefully in all its details, have its minutest points fired firmly in your mind and never gather anything else. TiiEXBTBB, Then there is the hydrier,or teeth -bearing epeoles, in which in the place of a avenge man:tango theee Ore emelt palate or opines. Lastly, there are puff belle which when inverted show no stile, poree or teeth. They are likely to be globular in shape,and if young the skin le filled with a substance that is either white, yellow, perpte or black. Thetis: puff ball mushrooms are the aafest of all,though there la little danger with the hydner variety, The Agariosam the whole, are the moat deadly because there are many poieonoue apeoiee that muoli resemble them. The harmless varieties can, in fact, only be told by expert barite and smell. In Paris the cultivation of mushrooms has developed into a large industry, and these vegetables are grown in caves 60 to 160 feet under ground. They are cultivated iu beds of manure, and so extensive are some of these °avers that anywhere from SOO to 8,000 pounds a day are gathered by certain proprietors. If one will not follow these instructions three bits of advice should he taken into account. Be sure that the mushrooms picked are perfectly freehand have not the slightest signs of deoay. If they have, they will act precisely the same on the system as dces putrid meat, only far more alarmingly. In this connection remember to cook them iffitnediately. Secondly, cook in the simplest way— broiling is the best method—and without fat or butter. Fat or butter will disguise the taste that the mushroom naturally has, and one may thus eat a considerable quantity of a poisonous variety without being aware of it, while if the mushroom is cooked simply and is not smothered in fat, it oftemgives out danger signals of its own by its strange bitter taste. THE SYMPTOMS of mushroom poisoning are nausea, extreme drowsiness, heavy stupor and severe pains in the joints. The most effioacioue remedy is a good smart dose of sweet oil, which may be mixed halt andlialf with whiskey, half and half with vinegar, or else taken pure. There is something in sweet oil that ,seems to negative the poison. lo Italy cases el mushroom poisoning seldom occur for the reason that mushrooms when eaten are invariably cooked in sweet oil, and the interior economy of the Italian nation anyway is fully and completely saturated with it. The old theory used to be that edible mushrooms grew only in short) grass and in pastureland, and never in boggy, marshy ground, but recent scientific investigation has provect this to be quito false as an absolu be rule. The champignon, for example, the famous little mushroom of France, which is not mote than half the size of the Eng. lish or American mushroom and is a standing card in French cookery, grows excellently in swampy place. Nearly all of the other rules regarding mushrooms that were taken as gospel truth ten years ago have been overturned. It used to be said that thinosapped mush- rooms were poisonous, but the tasteful champignon is of just that variety. Again, it watt the old belief that milky mushrooms, with the single exception of the orange. milk mushroom, were dangerous. Reoent scientists have, however, found a species that they label the brown -milk mushroom, that is very excellent eating. Bitter taste was also regarded as a hos- tile sign. Nevertheless, , the honey - colored mushroom has been found to be very fine when smoked, though exceedingly acrid when raw. ANOTHER DANGER SIGNAL was the running speedily into a dark watery liquid. The maned mushroom, however, exudes an inky fluid when punctured. Once more, the turning of color when bruised used to be regarded as an evidence of poison. Yet now in the category of edible mushrooms are several Avarice that turn red oesily, It will be an excellent plan to give a brief general classification of the various kinds of mushrooms to be met with in this country. First, there are the Agarioe, or Agarieini, which resemble a series of thin plates set on their edges and running to a oornrrion centre as does a wheel, the gills of the plant being the spokes and the stem the hub. Secondly, polyporous, or pre bearing, in which id the place of gills there is a fine spongy substance. Closely allied with the polyporous is the boletus,in which the stem is quite diatinot and well defined and the pores or Whoa are easily separated from each other. CARELESS WITH HIS GUN. A. voting stan. at West Nyack, New York Shoots Eight Persons ata Pigeon. Raton. A, despatch from New York, says:—Great excitement was caused at West Nyack on Saturday afternoon by the shooting of eight persons, who were present, together with a large throng, to witness the annual meet of the Nyach Gun Club. The shooting took. place near the West Shore Railroad, and several creek shots from a number of well-known clubs in New York and Brook- lyn was there, It was the first trap shoob- ing of the season. A good-sized tent was upon the ground, filled mostly with women and children. Several pigeons had been brought clown and the crowd grew enthus- iastic. One bird got away, and flew up and then toward the ground. A young .man, a visitor, not connected with any of the clubs, stood about fifty feet from the tent, with a double.barreled shot-gungeady to avail himeelf of the privileges of ehoot. ing at the birds --which, flew out of the prescribed limits of the club. As he saw the escaping pigeon ily off he raised his gun and then lowered it as the bird came down. He fired both barrels of his gun, and the full charges went through the tent, perforating the canvas. There •were loud screams from the tent, and men rush. ed there to see what had happened. An unpleasant sight met their gaze. Women and ohildren were crying and wiping blood from their faces, and several fainted. Mrs. Eugene Onderdonk, a well.known woman, was badly shot in tbe face, whiclewas ter. ribly lacerated. Her little boy was also struok in the face. An old man named Hardwick received forty shot" in his side, and was in a critical condition. Several of the shot entered the flesh more than half an inch deep. A boy named Jones was wounded in the face and ear. Wallace Tremper a Nyack boy, was struck in the mouth, the shot flattening on his teeth. Several otb ere received slight injuries. The name of the young man who did the shoot- ing could not be learned, and ie is said he left the grounde shortly after the occur.. rence. The affair broke up the shooting. The wounded were taken to their homes, whild the crowd dispersed. PRACTICAL FARMING, Constructing a Farm Bridge.

It is a wise man vvho knows what to do nese, No matter where you are placed, there is always one thing to do which is more important thaa all othere. The wise man inatinotively turns to that most im- portant work first. The unwise man, the man who never mimed; the man Who is always behind with his payments, with his work,the man who is always losing money, ie he who makes a mistake in what to do next. His nexh work is nob the most Important work, and the really important work is negleoted. Every man considers himeelf competent to superintend a fruit farm and nursery,or a grain farm, The fact is that many would fail in thee; capacity, for the reason that they would not know what to do next, Take, for instance the fruit farm. At every season of the year there is some one im- portant thing to be done that oannot admit of delay. Often there are many such important things, when it will perplex the wisest to know which to do first. But the capable man, though he has to study the question for hours, finally hits upon the most important work and that is the thing which he will do next. We know of men who think they are doing the most important work, and yet who allow the worst farm weeds to go to seed upon their place, without attention. Surely, the dock; one plant of which would seed down a whole farm, should be con. sidered one of the most important things to be attended to. We know of men who drive around in rickety wagons,tires loose, thills rattling,boxes ready to fall to pieees, who think they know what to do next; when the fact is,thenext thing they should do would be to get a new wagon or to repair the old one. The same farmer runs his mowing machine his reaper, his plows and oultivatortewitl; bolts loose and every- thing shaky and riokety,thinkiug he knows what is best to do next; whereas, the first thing he should do, would be to put his machinery in good, working order. What should you do next reader? Possibly you should inform your wife that she has been a good devoted helpmate. Perhaps you should give your boys a holiday. 2ossibly you should all take a drey off together for a picnic or other excursion. NEWSPAPERS IN TURKEY,.

This is not strange, for ae a fact Turkish journalism is very weak and has little vitality. Every newepaper published its Couatantinople has to pay an imperial tax of two pares (amounting to one-fifth of a cent) for each copy published. Foreign eheets are exempt from any tax whatever. Besides this the Saltan has a royal censor who is quite as rigorous and severe as the State censor is in Ruseia. Turkish editors are prohibited from discussing questions .01 the day in their columns, and they are also not permitted to publish the moat important fore telegrams. Strangely enough, tho the foreign •omau Empire are never cut, " blacked s hat is, a part of their contentsetmudged a la Ruseia or suppressed. Naturally, ilserefore, the residents of Constantinople have to turn to the outside world for news. Advantage of Raising Draft Horses. One great advantage to the oommon farmer which draft horeee have over the eased BY the Missionaries of Inciting ' lighter weights is that they need practically little or no training to fit them for use. Take the driving horse, for instance. He must be stylish, handsome, not afraid of steam or electric cars, as well as possessing some the Looting and Murder. A despatch from Shanghai to The Pall Mall Gazette says the Chinese Government has made a most extraordinary appointment n connection with the outrages upon the English missionaries. The formerly de- graded Liu, who is generally regarded as the actual originator of the Chengtu riots, has been definitely appointed Imperial High Commissioner to investigate- the circum- etances which led to the outbreak and the facts connected with the outrages them. selves. The appointment has caused the utmost dissatisfaction and indignation among the foreign residents. BRITAIN AND AMERICA MUST ACT. The London Globe in an artiole on the recent attacks upon ioreign missionaries in China, says : "11 outrages such as have occurred near Foo -Chow, can take place with impunity near a treaty port where foreign consuls are stationed, what may happen it the outlying stations throughout the country? The refusal of the Chinese to permit European consuls to assist in the enquiries into these outreges must have convinced Lord Salisbury that it is useless to expect satisfactory proposals from the Yining -Li -Yemen. The court which tries the perpetrators of the outrages must be composed of the English and American consuls, with European coadjutors, and at- tended by an effective escort of British and American sailors, not only to protect the tribunal from violence, but, if necessary, to carry its decision into effect." NOT BRITISH FAIR PLAY, Canada lIninstly Treated in Regard to Her to Me. A despatch from Ottawa says :—The an- nouncement in the British House of Come mons, by Walter Long, the new President of the Board of Agriculture, ths:t the examination of the lungs of Canadian cattle showed unmistakable traces of pieuro pneumonia, thus precluding all hope of raising the embargo against Canadian cattle in England, is a source of serious dissatis.factiou to the Agricultural Depart. ment here. "It is a conclusion," said a protniuent officer, "which Prof. Motlachreu believes has been reached upon an altogeth- er insufficient diagnosie, The appearance described by the Board of Agriculture in the cage of the lungs of these two animals, does not at all establish the presence of pleuro -pneumonia. There is even less ground to believe these cases to be pleuro- pneumonia than there was in those so suceoesfully contested by the report of Hon, Mr, Angers last year, a report whioh, by the way, has not been answered to Ole day or even laid before the British House of Comments, It ie believed that the ease referred to in the Cominons (that Deptford cue) will utterly break down under a toudli of professional critioism, British Columia Registrar in Trouble .A. despatch from Victoria, B.C., Rays J. C. Prevost, registrar of the Supreme Cotirt, has disappeared. An audit of his books is being made. Hie arrest and detention have been ordered, and the provincial pollee are endeavouring to locate him, He M the ofiloiel admihietrator, and it is not known how his affairs stand, bat it is feared, they are in a bad mix. speed in order to find a ready sale in the markets. To the common farmer who has raised him it is an additional source of expense to have him broken properly. He cannot do this himself. He has neither time for it nor has he the necessary skill,and as we all know the price he is to receive for a horse is very largely dependent upon the training. While a farmer may be able to raise a really fine horse,beyond breaking him to harneas in an ordinary fashion he is in total ignorance of how to proceed. The result is he sells him to some man who does understand how to do it, and this man who buys ata very modern figure sells again at double or treble the sum. He has simply got the ability to get out of the animal all there is in him which the farmer could not do. In the reported sales of carriage teams where the price is represented by four figures often and often, who gets the profit? The man who raisee the horses? Rather the man who bought them only to sell again, seeing their possibilities which he could bring out. Now with the draft horse all this is dif- ferent. He needs no particular training. He is naturally quiet and has a good dia. positien. He is level.headed aii a rule and gives very little trouble to any one. It is his nature to be so. The flighty, nervous temperament of the race horse is foreign to his make-up. Once well broken (and this is a comparatively easy matter) he is as valuable as with years of training. So we say the best horses for the average farmer to raise are the heavy draft. They will do the work on ehe farm much more easily than the lighter horses and 'be ready to be put upon the market at any time. Flowers at the Pairs. Let us do all that is possible to enconr. age people to exhibit flowers at the fairs. There is no .more interesting part of a fair than the floral department, and certainly none as beautiful when it is properly con. ducted. Many of our prize lists are inadequate to bring forth a good display from the professional or ameteur florist. This should be reinedied and the lists carefully looked over by competent perieons and made as attractive as the 'finances of the association admib. However, the fault is not so much in the amount offered as it is in the arrangement of the varieties etc., and many of our lists are way behindthe guest and are "back numbers." This should not be, it. is detrimental to any fitir,as well as to flower culture in general. Let all those who oan interest themselves in this important work and do all possible to bring about a change in this matter. A Word to the management of faire might not be out of place. Look well to your floral department. Take au interest In it. See that good buildinge and conven• ienoes are supplied and you will find it one of the best departments of your fair.

Now that the waters of the Niagara have been made tributary te human enterprise, it may be interesting to note that a similar undertaking is contemplated in Egypt. The General Inspector of Publio Works, Mr. Prompt, has just submitted to the Egyptain Government the results of his investigations during the hest eight months relative to the utilization of the cataracts of the Nile for agricultural and mechanical purposes. His project includes an immense reservoir in Upper Egypt which will permit the culture of cane sugar and cotton in the place of cereals. In the furtherance of the realization of this project he proposes to establish an electric power station near Assuan, where a fall of forty.five feet will be utilized. This station would furnish 40,000 horse power, besides furnishing 500,000,000 cubic yards of water for irriga- tion. A fifteen -foot dam is to be built across the Nile just above Cairo, which would furnish both light and motive power at a very low price to the Egyptian capital. The cost of the entire project is estimated at $8,000,000, which will very likely be raised by private subscription. IRELAND'S VICEROY. -- The Earl of Cadogan Makes Elia State Entry Into Dublin. A despatch from Dublin says :--The formal State entry into the city of the new Irish Viceroy, Earl of Cadogan, took place on Thursday afternoon. Upon his arrival at Kingstown the Viceroy was met by the commissioner of that place, who presented him with an address of welcome as he landed. In reply to the address, the new Lord Lieutenant said that he would spare no efforts to promote the material interests of Ireland, and expressed the hope that the administration of his viceroyalty would conduce to the peace and happiness of the country. On reaching Dublin city, the streets of which were lined with military and crowded with sightseers, Lord Cadogan was presented with an address of welcome by the Dublin Chamber of Commerce, but he was not; similarly received by the cor- poration authorities. No Pauper immigrants. A despatch from London says:—With the return of the Marquis of Salisbury to power again, the anti -alien immigration agitation is active. The Premier has pledged himself in favor of restricting pauper immigration. The Anti -Alien So. ciety has written to the various Cabinet Ministers on the subject, and the Marquis of Salisbury replied, saying that the Government bad nut yet elaborated ite legislative programme. But Joseph' Chamberlain, Secretary of State for the Colonies, said that he had no reason to suppose that the Marquis of Saliebury had - changed his views on the subject. The replies received are regarded as not being unsatisfactory, and the anti-alieuiets hope that an act will be passed during the sess- ion to check pauper immigration. it is pointed out that the tide of immigrations continues unabated. During the seven months ending with July 22,373 aliens entered Great Britain exclusive of 23,312 who passed through Great Britain on their way to America. BH EASY 1 Use teessuurs'te.

The Mother, a Sufferer From Nervous Prostration and Indigestion, Likewise Cured. Hear What the Thank- ful Father Has to Say. MRS. JAMES MoRITOHIE AND DAUGHTER. A leaiiing. local physician, whose profession takes him among the chil- dren of the varkets public institutions, remarked to the writer, that one would hardly believe that so many childten *were affected by nervous troubles, which sap the system and prevent proper development. In many cases the doctors are powerless to cure these troubles, They can relieve the suffering little ones, but in South American Nervine we have a medicine that does more than simply give relief. Its peculiar strength is that it completely cures where physi- cians relieve. A case in point came to us the 24th ult., in a letter front Mr. James W. McRitchie of Bothwell, Ont. He says :--"lVIy daughter IVIaggie, aged 9 years, was afflicted with nervous fainting spells for over a year, which left her in such a con- dition of weakness afterwards that the child was practically an invalid. We tried several remedies and doctor- ed with her in one way and another, but nothing gave relief, Seeing South American Nervine advertised, as par- ticularly efficacious in nervous dis- eases, I decided on trying it for her, and I must say that I noticed a decided change in my daughter for the better after she had taken only a few doses, As a result of using this medicine, ahe is now entirely free from those faint- ing spells and possessed of that life and brightness that is the happy lot of childhood. I am satisfied it is an excellent medicine for any nervous weakness. My experience bas been further supplemented in the fact that my wife bas also been using South American Nervine for indigestion, dyspepsia and nervous prostration, and has found very great relief." Whether the patient be man or woman, young or old, South American Nervine provides a complete medium for restoration to health. It is a medicine differing absolutely from every other. A cure is effected by application to the nerve centres of th( human system, and science has proved that when these nerve centres are kept healthy the whole body is healthy. For these reasons failure is imposs- ible. 0, LUTZ 'Sole Wholesale and Retail Agent for Exeter. Tnos.
