THE CITIZEN-
Ate His Enemies' Ears.
There is a French story of some travel
ers in Africa who, while on an exploring
expedition ran out of supplies. By chance
they came upon a native hut, but it was
empty, and the only visible edibles in it
were several strings of mushrooms sus
pended from the rafters to dry. For lack
of anything better or mote substantial
they stewed these and made a meal of
them. Alter a while the owner of the
hut, who was a powerful native chief war
rior, returning from a hunting expedition
and having greeted the explorers in a
friendly manner, set up a wild howl of
despair.
"What is the matterf" asked the explor
ers. "They are gone. My evil spirits
have stolen them." wailed the chief.
"What are gone!" "Those those!"
shrieked the chief, pointing to the cut
oords on the rafters, "Why, no evil
spirits took them," said the explorers.
"We ate them." The ohief seized his
stomach in both hands and rattled the
bones inside his skin. "Ate whatf he
gasped. "Oh! suffering Moses!" roared the
warrior, or words to that effect, "why
yo- d—d fools! you've eaten the ears ol
all the enemies I killed in battle."
How Japan Played the Game.
It is in a lugubrious tone that some of
the leading papers of Europe are telliog a
new and interesting story in regard to
Japan. They have suddenly reached the
conviction that the little empire is as
smooth in diplomacy as she is puissant in
war. According to the European authori
ties relerred to the powers have been in
duced to play Japan's own game and now
that they have been victimized see how
the shells were worked. They saw that
the empire expected interference so soon
as its terms of peace were announced and
arranged its stipulations with a view to
having them interfered with just as they
were. Japan gets a big pay in return for
a comparatively small amount of_ territory
which she used as a decoy, and is to re
main in control of that territory until the
debt is paid. With such real estate se
curity she is not liable to push the debtor,
and the wise old governments of Europe
are rubbing their eyes to take another
look at this precious ipstart that so clever
ly took them in at the first attempt.

—"Will housekeepersnever understand
said a druggist who had been weighing
moth balls, camphor gum and other so
called.enemies to moths for a month or
more, "that if clotning is put away with
the eggs of the moth on it moths will in
all probability batch and feast on their
furs and flannels in spite of all their efforts
to the contrary?"' Clothing that needs
wind and sun should, in our climate, be
put on the line in the Spring and be beaten,
brushed and cleansed in every part. It
should be then laid in a trunk or clean
bureau drawers untill ready to be sealed in
paper, labeled and put away tor the sum
mer In tbe latter part ot April and the
month of May it is dangerous to leave
anything woolen or fur on the line eTen

the time that tbe moth miller takes to the

Mushrooms and Mfcuure Heaps.
As grown in old grass pastures, mush
rooms are agreeable and excellent eating,
if cooked properly and cooked fresh.
Even as produced artificially tor the mar
ket, they are otten quite who!ewme,
it washed aad cooked early. Bat, a* is
well known, says the Lancet (London),
mushrooms belong to an order of vegeta
bles ol somewhat low orgauizition, and
they grow and reproduce themselves with
remarkable rapidity when sown in decom
posing vegetable matter. Many growers
take advantage of this fact to cultivate
mushrooms on manure heaps —heaps, that
is to say, not of ordinary farmyard manure,
but of the vile and rotting tilth of every
description which is gathered together n
large towns and delivered to suburban and
country mushroom growers by horse
wagon or train. Now, plants take up into
themselves the very stuff, modified, on
which they grow. Mushrooms grown on
matter of this sort select from it those
parts which they are able to assimilate.
But the arrangement of the "cap of the
mushroom enable it also to absorb tfce
the vapor of the manure, is a dan
gerous poison to man and other animals
Thus the scores or hundreds ot radiating
plates of which they principally consist
are in practice little better than traps for
the catching and retaining of more deadly
poisons still.

was only about 18 or 19 years of age when
he came to America, and although he had

MARTINCOURT & CO,
Have been in the business so long and have con
ducted their business in such a manner that a custom
er once is a customer always. They don't lose their
trade because everybody is satisfied. They never mis
represent or try to get rich oft one customer. They
j i understand how to buy, what to buy and where to
buy. They pay spot cash t<>r everything. They buy
which gives them the lowest prices and enables them
to retail goods at wholesale prices. They tell you
\j.' ' ' plainly what the quality is and guarantee it just as
it they represent it. You know just what you are btiy
* » ing. It is they who have brought down the price in
everything they handle till everybody is astonished..
They are not afraid of work and have respect for
♦ -jif everybody, rich and poor alike. They are the largest
r f wholesale ami retail dealers in their line in the State
and have been for years and this year have thousands
» * and thousands of dollars more invested in their busi
'w' ness than ever. They confine themselves exclusively
to everything belonging to a driving or team outfit.
Buggies and Wagons and everything pertaining thereto,
They manufacture all kinds of harness—both hand
At and machine made and all parts of harness, and keep
▼ "T whips, lap clusters, harness oil, axle grease, buggy
f f t tops and cushions, wheels robes and blankets. No
difference what you want about your horse or vehicle
(i come to us. Talk about floor space they have thous
