A DANGEROUS PLOT,CHAPTKH V. CONT1NUKP.

But, after Gwendoline's thrilling notesbad rung through the room, he would tellme to sing one of his favorites, and I went,Inwardly very tremulous, to the instrument,wondering how my low quivering noteawould sound after the brilliant soprano.

'That is good. You have a tine rich voice,Miss Tliorue." Mr. Gaaco'gnesaid one night—it wne the first time he had outwardly ex-pressed any pleasure at my performances,and I thought at the time it wan done in hiscrut fifty fashion to annoy his uiece.s. "She•In** wotl—<*h, Hilda?"

"Ali > Thome wisely selects very simpletongs," v;tia Miss Farquhar, with a little•mile of contempt.

"Oh, tli t was the reason, was it? Ithought Mis- Thorv*1 chose those songs toplease mt\ (J<:n you sing anything in the•tyle of Lady Martin's souga"—lie lingered•ome of h«r music that lay on the table—"Homething by Arthur Sullivan or F. 1LCowenV Try, if you please."

I woud have sung to him fifty songa an-other day in order to have refused theu; but1 aski*d myself why I should be thought toaccept Mis» Farquhar's sneers; and, with ar<•ix'lliouB d««ire to do my best in the knowl-< i. i- !i;it they hid never sought to hear mein Ui- i drawing-room, I without a word•beyed.

I chose "Will he come?" and I think thatI sang it well, the belter that 1 knew LadyMartin Pomeroy and her sist>r were listen-ing. But it was, too, a ballad that I loved,and, as I went on, I forgot the proud faceswatching me, and the cold criticism readyto seize on a faulty note or an imperfectchord. As I played the soft symphony be-fore the last sad verse, I heard Lady Mar-tin's voice. &he began in clear sharp ac-cents, without a pretence of a whisper.

"1 had a letter "The old man held up his hand quickly

and authoritatively, and never turned hUface from me.

When the last refrain was finished—"Rest to the weary spirit,Peace to the quiet dead"

—and the last soft chords had died away, heuttered a 6iniple courteous 'Thank you,"and then looked at Gwendoline.

"Now I am at your service, Gwendoline.Yon had a letter?"

"I will wait," she answered, "until I cangpeak to you in private. I am not in a hur-TJ."

Hilda rose and came to his side by the bigdining-table, and laid her white ring-deckedhand on his arm.

"Uncle Richard, may I play a (fame ofehess with you? Don't you think I piaywell enough for just one game?"

"You are very kind, my dear," Mr. Gas-eoigne said drily. "But I will not tax yourpatience. Go back to the piano, and playyour sister's accompaniments, and MissThome and I will undertake the chesa."

Annis knelt down in front of the stonefender and watched our play with a smilinginterested face.

She was always pleasant with me, alwayskind, although she was nervous and shy andhalf afraid, I thought, of her state.y eiderlisters. Before them she was quiet and con-strained, and her l.ttle acts of kindness tome were done surreptitiously, without theireognizance. It was those little deeds, I be-lieve, which hindered me that (list weekfrom throwineupthe situation. Why shouldI allow myself to be driven from the beauti-ful old Grange, from work which, if uncon-genial, was easy and well paid—ami I, withmy seven brothers and sisters, could not af-ford to be careless of my earnings—by crueltaunts and haughty insults?

On the morning following the night withMr. Gasootene Annis asked me to go outwith her. She had before taken me for aramble in th" grounds and to the neighbor-ing little village of Marlands St. Gabriel; onthta Hay she would take me to the lake, andI noticed that there was a bright flush onher cheeks and a happy light in her eyes.

When I went down into the hall, I foundthat we were not coin?, as before, alone.Lady Martin and Hilda and Annis came outrrom tne morning-room in walking-costume,the eldest in a long velvet jacket borderedwith chinchilla, and a large-brimmed hatwith sweeping feathers, Annis and Hilda indark ifreen dresses trimmed with brown fur,and clwely-tiuing toques surmounting thegulden roils of their hair.

plain. If you take Miss Thome, you shouldtake her to Nortury—»t would be more amu*laf for her. That_ i% of conref^ what Imean."

Gwendoline and Hilda walked down the«*rriage-drive together, leaving Annis andme to follow. Annis gave no indication of•changing her mind.

"You have not teen our lake yet, haveyou?" she said. "Perhaps you will be dis-apporntHl with it"

I told her I had seen it as I drove to St.Gabriel's Grange, with the moon beamingon its calm waters, and the G. ange battle-

patents and bays darkly reflected in theirdepth*.

"I am flad you liked it," she said, smilinga little. "It is unkempt and wild, and theshrubs have all run riot. My uncle has notbeen near it for months, perhaps years, andIt is not what an ornamental piece of watershould be, 1 know. But I am rery fond ofIt, and I love to walk by It."

We went out on the high-road, along whichI had driven, under the bare arching trees.The day was fine and warm, and the sun-light crept among the branches an4 chequer-ed the way; and, when we came by th* thickshrubbery, the beams were glinting uponthe breast of the lake there beneath us, anda mist of sun and watery vapor clouded thebushes on the far-away opposite bank.

The road was very quiet We met no onebut a laboring man trudging from NorburyfcoThls home at Marl and*, and" a farmer'swife ia a light market-cart, bringing home

empty bulter-biiflkets from the market. Pres-ently we turned down a narrow lane whichdipped suddenly and skirted the lake soclosely that the clear rippling water wasbut a few feet from us .and some ferns andwater-plants only grew by •ttre TarYe-swkr.'The lane itself was scarcely wide enoughfor more than two persons to walk abreast,for on the other side rose a shelving greeubank topped by a stone wall.

"This is the boundary of my uncle's d omain," Annis Maid. "Indeed this little pathis public; but it ia seldom used. It is ourfavorite walk;" and the. girl blushed a littleas she spoke, and looked straight before herup the road. .

"And at the other side of the tank," Isaid, "the laud belongs, I suppose, to thehouse, among the trees 1 see from uiy win-dow?"

"Can you see it?" she cried "Oh, yes, itis part of the grounds of the house, and itall belongs to Mr. UlricGascoigne, my cous-in 1 Before we oame he used to live at theGrange; but my uncle and he quarrelled—wasn't it a pity?—and now my uncle willnot let him set foot on his land. That housewas his mother's.",' "But he can come here? ' I asked.

She looked at me, startled and wondering;but, when she saw the tsruile In ray eyes, shelaughed.

"Yes," she said, "he can come here."When we h;ul passed the lake, I saw there

was a low stone wall to divide this little lanefrom the Grange property, a low wall overwhich Ivy giew and gray mosses crep .How well I learned to know the very stonesof that wall, and how well I grew to lovwevery little leaf and flower that [oepedfruinIts crevices, and the tendrils th;it clung to itscarcely tighter than clung the fibres of uiyheart!

"You see that a path from the housecomes down to this lane," Anuls said. ''Itia the way we generally come."

Gwendoline and Hilda were out of sight.They had not paused for us or spoken to usonce during the walk. But quicker ?.ndmore determined steps than tiieirs camedown the path behind us; and Annis pausedby the bankside—I thought, to let thempass.

They were two tall handsome young men,with slight well-knit fi ureo and tlie stampof gentle bres'dtng on their fair straight-rut •faces. They stopped, raising their hats,and on the lace of the fairer and youngerthere was a specially bright glad smile. Iguessed in a minute who he was.

"I am glad you have come to-day, Annis,"he said, as he took h«r hand; aid the plea.1*-ure in his face was reflected on hers.

"I must Introduce you to my friend," she«ald in answer. "Mr. Gascoigne and Mr.TJlric Gascoigue— Miss Thome."

When we waiked on, perforce we fell In-to couples. Annis and her lover lagged be-hind, his brother strolled on by my sidft. Hoseemed used to playing the part of third,for he talked easily and uncoustraiurdfy,without heeding the young folks behind us.

"You are a stranger to Marlands, MissThome," he remarked. "I suppose you arestaying at the Grange? Did Annis's sisterscome out with you this afternoon?"

"They came, but they walked on in fror*.of us, and we have lost sight of them."

"Hilda generally comes with Annis,'- hesaid; "but I do r.ot think she likes it'1- andhe latwlunl. ">fy cousins are very prord,and they do not approve, I fancy, of Ann K'Sallowing us, who are in disgrace, to spe.uito her.'/

He talked lightly and freely, concluding,1 suppose, though it d.d not orvur to nv.then, that, since Annis had brong.it ine withher as chaperon, I was in all V1B s*crei» *»fthe Grange. 1 did not think of it then, andso I let him speak on; and, after all, lie toldme little more than 1 had guessed.

His own existence was the one thing Ihad iwvtdreanie-d of; -but-he-was, I iuuud,the elder brother, and the heir by birth toSt. Gabriel's Grange, but disinherited byhis uncta I could not but wonder in myown mind what Mr. Gascoigne could havefound against this young follow that hoshould deprive him of h s heritage.

I stole a furtive glance at him now andagain a he talked; it was a frank ami pleas-ant fa e I looked at He was older than 1had pehaps at first supposed. There was adecision about his mouth, a slight frown ofthe brows, and lines here and there, tellingthat his path had not been all roses, nor hislife without thought

We walked and talked on for some time.I am half surprised now to think that I wasnot embarrassed or perplexed by his allu-sions to those family concerns at the Grangeof which I knew absolutely nothing; but atthe time it all seemed perfectly natural, andI listened and responded without a thoughtof hi* probably mistaken view of my posi-tion. We meet sometimes In our lives menand women with whom it comes instinctive-ly to fall at once Into friendly relations. Itwas so with me that afternoon. I was con-tent to meet those frank gray eye* and listento that pleasant voice without heeding muchelse.

"How far behind your brother and Annisare!" I exclaimed at last, glancing backdown the lane.

"It would not be kind to remain in ear*shot," he anawered» laughing* "Lwish An-uis wovld sunixnoB up courage to allow an-cle Richard to be told of her engagementShe seems afraid of the very mention ofUlric'a name in hta presence; but whyshould she care? U l r i c a s fortunately in-herited sufficient property from his mot-herto live on; he is not a soldier of fortune, likemyself."

"You think Mr. Gaacoigne would beangry?"

"Oh, yes, eertaiuly I He has shut us outentirely from his favor, you know. Some-times I think Annis's sisters have more todo with keeping the secret than Annts her?self. They might share my uncle's indigna-tion unless he were to forgive her. Pooruncle Richard 1 It could not be much satis-faction to him to discard them also. B u t !am glad Ufrie chose Annis instead of hand-some Hilda, and, in fact, I question whetherHilda would have looked at him and hismodest establishment"

"She would make a stately duchess," Ianswered., "She is almost poo handsomeforevery-day life."

"Yes," he smiled; "love in a cottagewould not be in her line. I hope «rv willwin thetlukc But Annis may know moreof love in her humbler walk, and Ulric maypoMibly be happier than the duke."

Two flgnrM were advancing down thepathway towards us, growing nearer andaUaret

"Here are C.w ndollne artd itiMa," saidSir. GascoikTite.. "It is not often I see (iwennow, perhaps beeau-e there is liurelly roomfor three in this little paih."

As we met, Hilda Farqulmr flashed aglance at me. It was the first time I hadencountered the full gaze of those blue eyesthat were accustomed to deny me even thohonor of a look, but which i had seen fixed.BO calmly and steadily on other fives; andnow I was startled at the sharp angry lightdarted upon me. I had seen sc:um und rest-less passion in Gwendolines eyes, audithad not hurt me, for it scarcely seemed thatI myself could have caused it. Hut thisbrought suddenly to my brain amazementand horror and pain, for iu thai one swiftglance, I read hatred.

It was only for a .second. Miss Faiiaiharturned with a surle and a slightly risencolor to Mr. Gascoi^rie.

"How do you do, Gilbert?" she said. "1thought w« should see you to-day."

"Did you? Annis told me you were outsomewhere—she did not know where. Howare you, Gwendoline?"

"i did not know you were acquainted withMiss Thorne," tsaid Gwendoline abruptly.

"Neither had I that pleasure until Anniseffected the introduction some ten minutessince."

"Did Aim Is tell you that she is Mi. Gas-coigne's new secretary?"'

It might have I een the rudeness of herspeech or simply ti.e information thereinwhich took hi in aback and brought thesharp decided answer—

"Annis simply introduced Miss Thorne asher friend. 1 hope my uncle has not fui1 bid-den the acquaintance, Miss Thome?"

"Is that likely?'' .said Gwendoline. "Ordo you suppose she .would heed if it werethe case? Mr. Gascolgho is conlined to hisrooms. She is, Annis should have Told you,his companion, amanuensis, intelligencer,and everything else that her predecessors,Granville Cox and James biaunton, were."

"You will hav« a busy tinw then," Mr.Gascoigne said simply, addressing me in theBame pleasant tones as before. "1 hope youwill not t re of it so soon as they did, noromit to take regular walks."

"Naturally she. has a. great deal to do; butwalks may form part of her business,"'Gwendoline replied tauntingly.

-"1 do not understand your meaning "irrtheleast, Lady Martin," 1 said. "If you meanto intimate that 1 come out by Mr. G-is-coigne's orders, you know that is not thecase. I came by your sister's Invitation. Ifyou mean that Mr. <iascoigne has forbiddenme to know his nephew, 1 can only say thatMr. (Jascoigne has never mentioned hisname to me."

"Gilbert knows what I mean. He is theonly person to whom Iain speaking," Gwen-doline answered contemptuously.

''Shall we walk onto meet Annis?" putin Hilda, with perfect calmness. "It is toocold to stand. How do you and Mr. Gardenget on together. Gilbert? Von can still findtime, it seems, fur walking ouljn the morn-ings."

1 noticed afresh, as she spoke to him,what an exquisite face it was that turnedwith a slight smile to his. The coldness andthe prji'fi h;;d gone, and lefta radiautloveli-ness iu their place.

As the way WHS SO narrow. I fell bank,Sn4 Mr. Gascoigiu1 t>tepped behind a spacoalso.''

"i'lcase walk on with your cousins. Mr.GascoVne," 1 said, iu low tones; and kidet iliiweiuioline was already by Jis side.

"Two is company," Mie said, with a lauL'h,changing her tone in that chameleon-likefashion which again and again hal puzzledme. "Perhaps Miss Tliorne will give m«the pleasure of her company, and I can teilher your history, since Annis hxs affordedinformation and my uncle has been equa lyuncommunicative. Will you join Hilda,Gilbert?"

display some curiosity, i cannot say; but Is]>4l e no word in reply; and we walked onin jxrfect silence, Gilbert Gascoigne amihis beautiful cousin some paces in advanceof us, her fair smiling face turning everynow and again to him, and an oova ionalword only reaching us.

We left the gentlemen by the stone wali,passing through a rusty iron gate into theGrange grounds, and walking by the lakeand the shrubbery to the hall door.

Annis addressed to me a smiling Innocentremark or two, which I answered simplyand quietly. Her sisters said nothing tome, nor 1 to them. As we parted in the hall,Lady Martin Pomeroy came to my side foran instant

"Now, spy,"' the whispered tauntingly,"go tell your master all you have seen andheard I"

Then she turned away swiftly, and follow-ed her sisters into the morning-nom.

TO BE COSTlSVEli.

To Stop Coog-hin;.The majority of coughs are unneoesj-

»ary. Nature Induces the cough forthe purpose of getting rid of someforeign material in the throat, it maybe mucus, the result of catarrh, orsome foreign substance which has beeninhaled. A cough is not necessarywhen not induced by the c;itarrhnamed. Not a few cases of chroniccoughs are simply the result of habit.The eminent Dr. Brown-Sequard oncemade the following suggestions abouthow to stop a cough. "Coughing canbe prevented by pressing on the nervesof me lips in the neighborhood of thenose. A pressure there may prevent acough when it is beginning. Sneezingmay be slopped by the same mechan-ism. Pressing also in the neighbor-hood of the ear may stop coughing.Pressing very hard on the top of themouth inside is also a means of stop-ping couching. And, I may aay. thewill has immense power, too. Therewas a French surgeon who used to saywhenever he entered the wards of thehospital, *The first person who coughswill be deprived of food to-day." Itwas exceedingly rare that a patientcoughed then."

Their origin is envel-oped in darkness, but can betraced to the pagans of Hindostan,who placed upon them emblemsof tho incarnations of their deityNishnu, and who used them onlyfor fortune-telling, and similarpurposes. It is asserted in thoChinese dictionary that dottedcards were invented in the reignof the Chinese Emperor Seun-ho,for tho amusement of his numer-wives. The Arabs, appear to haveintroduced thorn among Europeans,about five eeuturies since, andtheir use, for amusements andgambling purposes, became sogeneral in France and Italy, inthe early part of th** fifteenth cen-tury, that St. Bernardiu was moved

| to preach .so eloquently and err'oct-rJ^ely against them as to incite: their possessors to make a fire inthe publ;c place, throw their cardsinto it, and thus consume them.

The appropriate signs upon thelust cards imported into England |from Italy were cups, swords,money and clubs; and because ofthe immoral tendency of the gamesin which they were used the use;of the cards was forbidden. It issupposed by some that cards were

I invented in France, with variedcolors, and in fantastic shapes toamuse Charles II, when he losj;

! his reason, and was subject to titsof melancholy. . One thing at leastis certain, that when literature

, and art prevailed in France, socialgatherings were scones ol: nobleintellectual enjoyment, the faculty !of tioodconversation wasoulli vatod, i

' . 'Iand afternoons and evenings^ werethus passed in delightful inter-course. JJut as the cultivation ofliterature and art decayed, t ie

• material for familiar inter-change of thought passed away,the very capacity for conver-sation was lost; and, to mootthe emergency,cards wore resortedto as the panacea against ennui.Gambling by means of them soonbecame the rage, the saloons were

I iilled w iilt rows of tables, on 'the'opposite sides of which ladies andgentlemen were seated, where forseveral hours nothing was hoardbut the rushing of cards, tho ring-ing of money andbursts of angeror rejoicing. But tho revolutionsoon followed, and swept away,like a whirlwind, tho cards, tho

1 card-tables, and the card-players.When tho passion for cards re-gained tho ascendency, tho placesof tho card-kinds wore tilled bytho portraits of four noted French-men, Moliore, tho comedian andactor; La Fontaine, a writer of'licentious novels; and the inJidolsVoltairo and Rousseau.

No wonder, that with such anancostory and history, tho familycard-table should have boon con--srderred, a£ter ^s introduction toEurope, as, "destructive of morals,"and a, "groat blot on the mannersof the English nation."

It is sad to think that so manyprofessing Christians in this gospelage indulge in this card-playingamusement, that is the cherishedpursuit of the degraded and thedissolute, that is resorted to by somany for the purpose of killingtime and for gambling purposes,that has no redeeming quality torecommend it; and that, whereverit is indulged in, so manifestlysaps the vitals of piety, and proves Ian obstacle to the progress • of re-ligion. But this is not the worst:Members of the church who areparents will not only permit eard-playingliui-tkeir children in their [

circle, teach their children the]names and uso of the several cards,train them in the mode of winning,and thus prepare thorn for takingtheir place in the society of theworldly the dissolute and profane.Surely this is not 1 raining themup in the way they should go, butteach them to walk in the path ofthe godless, leading them intotmnptation, and exposing them toa snare.

The leaves in this picture, book Iof satan have been in their origin -and history only tho tools of thefortune-teller 'and the gambler, Ihave led multitudes to learn the iart of defrauding their fellows, toforsake tho home of their youth, jand the society of the righteous;to neglect their business, and toconsort with the spend-thrift. "Wocannot, therefore, understand howChristians can countenance thopresence of this picture book ofsatan in their houses, or partici-ipate with any propriety in its use.That which satan uses so largelyto ensnare and to destroy much beessentially bewitching and de-structive. That which is found inthe breast pocket of so many dis-1reputable characters, on the tableof every r'iniseller, and in the ad-juncts of every dance house, andtheatre, must bo a chosen instru-!incut in -Mitan's hands for tho over- ithrow of everything that is good jin time, and for the ruin of im-mortal souls. No amusement canbe good that is the favorite re-jcreation of the vile.— Selected. j

THE idea that education ends withthe coming of manhood is one which

BROOKLYN, N. Y., NOV. 1, 1891.— TheTabernacle was thronged as usual thismorning. The vast euitice tilled to itsutmost rapacity with eager listenersshows how the popular preacher re-tains his power over the people. Al-though he hiia been preuchintf iuBrooklyn for more than twenty-fouryears, his audiences were never solarge as now, and although toe largestProtebta.nt churvh in America has beenbuilt for him there never was a timewhen so many persons were turnedaway for iackjtff room.

Hut all that extrava-gance of palace and temple and monu-ment was the cause of an oppressionhigh as heavsn, and deep as hell. Theweight of those blocks of stoneheavier than any modern machinerycould lift came down upon the Hebrewslaves, and their blood mixed themortar for the trowels.

Now you see how the* Pharaohscould afford to build such costlyworks. It cost them nothing for wages,nothing but the tears and blood of thetoilers, and tears and blood are a cheapdrink for devil* "l!rick» withoutstraw" may not suggest so much hard-ship nntil you know that the brickswere usually made with "crushedstraw,* straw crushed by the feet of thooxen in the threshing, and, this crushedstraw denied to the workmen, Uieyhad to pi. k up here and there a pieceof stubbly or gather rushes from thewaterside. This story of the bible isconfirmed by the faet that many,of thebrick walls of Egypt have on the lowerlayers brick maae with straw, Lut thehigher layers of brick made out ofrough straw, or rushes from the riverbank, the truth of the book of Exodusthus written in the brick walls dis-covered by the modern explorers.

Amount rlenird by the farmer HIJSOr, as my authority declares, 70 percent, of what the I gyptian farmer jmakes, is paid for taxes to the govern- jment. Now, that is not so much taxa-tion a* assassins tion. \N hat think youof that ? Y ou who groan v ader hearytaxes in America ? I heard that inEffvpt the working people have a songhke this: "They starve us, they starveus, they beat us, they beat us, butthere's Fomi one above, there's someone above, who will punish them well,who will punish them welL" Hut70 per cent, of government taxin hjrvpt is a mercy as comparedto what the Hebrew slaves sneeredthere in bible time*.

PASSING THE GUARD.

Xn AQffol of Strength as Wall aa im Anyalof Mercy.

Mary A. Bickerdyke, familiarlyknown among the soldiers as "MotherUickerdyke," was a btalwart, loyalGerman woman who did heroic serviceduring th« war.

She usually had her own tenta anddetails of men to help her keep thaBoup-kottles £oin£r. bha was accua-tomed to go where she pleased, justwhen Bhe pleased, and as nearly allthe soldiers knew her and her goodworks, and many of them had enjoyeda tin of Houp from her kettles thatwere always full, no one thought ofchallenging her.

4'Who goes there?1'"Mother Bickerdyke," was the an-

swer, and that was enough, liutthere came a lot of new recruits intocamp at one point who knew nothingof Mother Bickerdyke or her gooddeeds.

One of those was placed on dutywhere Mother Bukerdy*© was com-pelled to pass on her rounds amongthe hospitalH. One dark eight she re-turned at a_ ate hour. A new guardwas passing his ,<PHt not far from herlittle group of t^ntn. As she ap-proached he challenged her:—

"Halt! Who tf<>68 there?11

••Mother Bickerdyke," the answer-ed" cheerily.

"Advance and give the counter-

"I haven't the countersign."••You c-an't pass then.""Yea 1 will; that tent la whero 1

live, and I'm not going to bother my-self to get the countersign at this lutehour. Let mo pass."

••No. you can't Dass.""I'm Mother Bickerdyke,""1 dyn't care who you are. I'll

never "The sentence was not finished. She

was physically a very powerful woman,and quick as a flash she sprang uponhim, sent his gun in one directionand himself whirling in another.

"I think hereafter you'll know whoMother Blcicerdyko is!" was her com-ment aa she passed on and entered hertent.

The poor fellow had been taken en-tirely by surprise, and spent the restof his time till relieved from duty insearching for his gun, but was unableto find it till duyligrht next morning.He had heard of army nurses beingangels of mercy; ho now knew theywere angels of strength. liut afterthat he knew who Mother Bickerdykewas.—Home and Country.

Klndncft* and (IrHiillnes*.In York I noticed an earthen dish

in front of a shop. I road downthrough the clean c(K)l water withwhich the dish was filled thebe merci-ful words burned at the bottom:••Water your dog."

j to the subject of mushrooms as food,and the risks of mistaking thts poison.ous kind of fungi for those which areedible, it points -tmt that it is a mat-ter o/ trreat importance that the pub-lic should be informed as far as pos-sible of the main qualities which dis-

; tinguish the two kinds of fungi. Butto give a pre'is« definition would beno simple matter. It may be said,however, that as a rule the poisonousfungi are associated with a high color,scaly or «i><Mted surface and tough orwatery flesh: while the edible species,on the other hand, ,ave seldom highlycolored. s<aly or spotted, are usuallywhite or brownish, and brittle on frac-ture. The poisonous varieties, more*over, generHlly grow clustered on wetor shady ground, while the ediblekinds grow in the opon. and generallyin dry pastures. As a general rule,those fungi which have a bitter taste,or which burn the throat or yield »pungent milk, as well M those wL'c,on bruising assume various tints,ought to be avoide i.
