The paramount ideal of nil ‘Irish politics, says the Dublin Irish Tuncs ought to be the reunion, at tho earliest possible moment, of that two portions of our sundel-cd island. What has Mr. de Valera done to- wards the achievement of that cud? He has declared more than once, that he is looking forward to the‘ day when he will be in a position to declare a completely independent Republic, and generally has lost no opportunity to show his contempt for the Treaty under which thc Free State enjoys its present liber- ties. All those moves have had a deplorbale effect on opinon in Nor- thern Ireland. The people of the Six counties have become more dc- terrnincd than ever to hold thcm- selves aloof from the Free State, and to strengthen, as mllch as pos- sible, the links that bind them to Great Britain. In such circumstan- ces all talk of, Irish unity ls idlc.

Poisonous Mushrooms In The Maritimest

(K. A. Harrison, Held Laboratory of Plant Pathology, Kentvllle, NS.)

Several very poisonous mush- rooms (or toadstools) are so com- mon that everyone who gathers mushrooms should leam to recog- nize them. The most dangerous of all is known by the appropriate name of the Death Angel on ac- count of its pure white colour and the deadly nature of the poison that it contains. This is only one of a group o: poisonous mushrooms that have certain definite charac- teristics in common that enable any person to recognize them with a. littlc practice.

The three characters following should be remembered. First. the deadly mushrooms have white spores. The colour can be deter- mined by removing the stem and laying the cap with the gills downward overnight on panef- The print of the white spores shows best on black paper or on a piece of glass. The second is the veil or ring hanging on the stem. This is the covering that protected the gills when young, The third char- acteristic is the death cup at the base of the stcm ‘which is fre- quently burlcd in the soil. The term ‘cup’ for this structure is slightly mislcadlng, to some people, because it varies from a sheath,‘ around the base of the stem, as in, the Death Angel, to tom frag- ments nn o. bulbous bnsc, as found in the Fly Agaric. ‘The dcnth cup

The Enchantment Of September

(Montreal Gazette)

Soptclnbcr is one of the months with a numbcr which must pass mustcr in ilcu of a name. And it stands ns the initial of those months which are so designated as though, forsooth, they manage to fill in a scat or fill up the sum of nature's annual score. But this is a bald reckoning and only shows ‘how \vc pcopic have wisdom in llnlvcs. For there arc two things which bash ollr inlllginnllon: one is the sparsollcss and seeming skimp economy of u season, like Novcmbcr, for example; the other is the opul-

once and lavish display of varied trcasurcs :1 scnson pours forth and presents to thc gaze. Ancl it so happens that September is the scv- cnth month, which, as everybody knows, is a magical number and signifies complctcnrss. The 10mp- tation is strong to remark upon tho rich suggcstivcncss of the numbcr sevcn. But there is nothing occult in mentioning that, thcrc are seven days ill the wcck, seven ages of man, sovcn main tones in the musl. cal sonic, scvcn colors in light, scvcn "lamps of architecture," whcrcof Ruskin has written. 'I‘hore nrc scvcn years of famine followed by scvrn of plcniy rccordcd in the biblical story of Egyptian exper- lr-ncc; nnd the scvcn scas upon which commerce floats her freight, nnd seven cycles 0f ascension in knowlctigc according to the sacred books of thc East; nnd if we are to believe Milton tllcrc arc sevenfold harplngs amongst those “solemn troops nnd sweet sccictics" who know something of and celebrate Paradise Rxgzlined. The hint might be pursued much further, but enough has hcvn said to show that

is the most important of these thrcc characters and a mushroom with this structure should be avoided by the inexperienced per- son, The above description does not, mean that all white sporcd mushrooms or all mushrooms that have eithera ring or a death cuP are poisonous, but it does mean danger when a mushroom is found possessing all three characters. It must be remembered that there are other poisonous mushrooms that do not possess these charac- tors.

The tests of our forefathers are not reliable. Probably the com- monest that is still believed is that the common mushrooms peel and poisonous kinds do Mll- Tl" 99m‘ Ange] peels readily although not qultc in the same manner. One who has peeled field mushrooms would notice the difference at once but a fatal nflstlike 601116 be made" easily by an inexperienced person.

In general appearance the dead- ly species are the handsomest of the mushroom family. They are tall and stately when fully ZTDW" and the colour is usually attract- ive. They are found in deep woods or occasionally near shrubs 0r bushes butlnever 1n open cultivat- ed fields.

Oftcn there is grim humor in statistical rcporis. Thus we have a. Uni-fed States writer building up columns of figurfls W DY°V° "that the health of the American 1190916 is improving," and then going on to show that there have been 200,000 automoble accident deaths on United States highwhys "since the btlys came home in the SiJY-‘Ylg 0f I919."

Unitcd States losscs in the Great War were in the vicinltyof 100,000 men. Last ycar in the United States thcrc were 60,000 deaths from general accidents, 31,000 au- tomobile deaths, 17.500 suicides and 11,500 homicides. More people than were lost in ihc Spanish American and the World War combined.

Obviously, it's a good thing that those who manage to llvc, live lon- gcr, and that: "the health of the American people is improving."
