The dragon trees of Teneriffe _ are really a species of gigantic asparagUs. One tree, situated at Lagnuina, the ecâ€" clesiastical capital of the island, is said to be several thousand years old. The growth of these dragon trees is very slow and they throw out no branchâ€" es until they have blossomed, which selâ€" dom takes plac zefore their fifteenth year and sometimes not until their thir tieth. _ The oldest dragon tree known in the island was that at Orotava, which was at least 6,000 years oldâ€"some botanists say 10,000. It was about sisty feet high, with a trunk fortyâ€"eight feet in circumâ€" ference at the base. The ancient inhabiâ€" tants of the island, the Guanchos, perâ€" formed their religious rites in its hollow trunk. In 1867 the upper part of the tree was broken off during « storm, and though every effort was made to pres¢erve the reâ€" mainder it gradually _ decayed and there is now no trace of it left. The sap of the tree, a resinous subâ€" stance like dark treacle, is called dragâ€" on‘s blood. It becomes brittle and crumâ€" bling when dry ard is an _ article of commerce used in medicine. There are other kinds of dragon trees in different parts of the world, but this particular species is peculiar to the Canary and Cape Verde Islands.â€"From the Wide World Magazine.

SPURIOUS QUOTATION REVISION 1N ROME He Would Get Away. DEMORALIZATION Thousâ€" it makes Symptoms and Treatmentâ€"Rule to Observe in Gathering Edible Fungi. Considering the frightful consequences of gathering and eating poisonous mushâ€" rooms in mistake for the edible variety it is little short of marvellous that a feuon without knowledge should dare o go into the fields and woods and pick and eat any of the fungi growing there. If you are thoroughly familiar with som eparticular variety of edible mushâ€" room and can distinguish it at sight from all others, however similar in color and form, it is safe to eat that particuâ€" lar variety; but you must beware of other kinds that resemble it, for howâ€" ever slight the difference in appearance one may be edible and the other poiâ€" sonous. There is no absolute rule for distinâ€" guishing the edible from the poisonous kinds, and it is better therefore to give Reioit in POVE TTE PB IMEIRTTT OOE Siees se e no general rules, but to follow only one. Suspect every mushroom which you do not know positively to be edible. _ To this rule perhaps may be added a secâ€" ond: Learn to distinguish the white spored agaries and a\'of('ll them all, for although there is an edible species it reâ€" quires an expert to tell it, and the poiâ€" son of another _ species is deadly and there is uo known antidote for it, The chief poison in mushroms . are two in numberâ€"muscarin and phallin, The first of these produces symptoms reâ€" sembling those of aleoholic intoxieation, followed by convulsions or _ paralysis, vollapse and death from heart failure. These symptoms come on soon after the mushrooms have been eaten. In poisoning by phallin the symptoms do not appear until several bours after the meal,. They resemble cholera, be ginning with _ severe abdominal pain, soon followed by vomiting, purging and collapse. In all cases of mushroom _ poisoning vomiting should be induced as soon as possible, and a large dose of castor oil may be given to hasten the elimination of ‘any as yet unabsorbed portions of the mushroom. Stimulants are needed to support the heart, and milk containing an abund ance of magnesia or bicarbonate _ of sodium may be given. villjt}!flon; of a salt solution into the veins andâ€"in case of muscarin poisoning â€"hypodermic injections of atropin . are often employed by physicians, with beneâ€" fit..â€"Youth‘s Companion.
