MUSHROOMS. It Would Be Worjh While for Amer icans to Grow Them. A pamphlet has bean published by the United States Government for the pur pose of instructing the people of this country regarding the edible qualities of mushrooms. China did this a century or more ago, the Washington Star is informed. For ever so many years past the authorities of that nation have published annual tjcatises for gratuitous distribution de scribing the different herbs which are susceptible of use for food. One of these treatises, called the 44 Anti-Famine Her bal," consists of six volumes, containing descriptions with illustrations of over 400 edible plants. These volumes are of in estimable value in districts where the ravages of insects, drought, etc., have destroyed the grain and rice crops and famine is imminent. Mushrooms of various species are among the useful growths discussed. As for their value us a comestible, it is sufficient to say that they compare favorably with meat as sources of nitrogenous nutriment. If their cultivation could be successfully fostered in this country a most valuable food-producing industry would be brought into being on the hither side of the Atlantic. In Franco mushrooms form a very larne article of consumption and are widely grown. Mushroom beds arc cul * tivated in caves, frequently miles in ex tent. One cave at Mcry contains more than twenty miles of beds and produces not less than 3,000 pounds of mushrooms daily; another at Frepillon has sixteen miles of beds. The Catacombs aud quarries of Paris and vicinity, and the caves of Moulin do la Roche, Sous, Bi cctrc, and Bagncau produce immense quantities of mushrooms. They are all under government supervision and are regularly inspected like the mines. The mushroom cultivated in these quarries and caves almost to the exclusion of all others is the 44 snowball." Another fun gus, the truffle, is largely exported from France, the quantity produced for foreign markets being not less than $2,000,000 worth yearly. Edible mushrooms of many varieties grow largely iu the United States with out cultivation. Few of them, however, are used, owing to the inability of most people to distinguish the available * varieties from the poisonous ones. In order that this difficulty may be to some extent done away with, the pamphlet spoken of has been issued by the Depart ment of Agriculture. The list of edible fungi is a very re markable one. Most surprising among them is one native in New Zealand, which grows out of the body of a large caterpillar, practically converting the latter into vegetable substance. The i caterpillar lives under ground and the fungus springs upward through the soil until it peaches a height of eight or ten inches. It is eaten by the Maoris, who employ it also when burned as a color ing matter. Another fungus from New Zealand is used by the Chinese for soup, also for medicine and for making a valu able dye for silk. The natives of Aus tralia use largely a trullle, which obtains a weight of more than two pounds and is known under the name of 4 'native bread." The Japanese grow several species of j edible fungi from lojs of decaying wood i in a manner peculiar to themselves. I Among the northeastern tribes of Asia one species of fungus when pounded is utilized as snuff, while another, regarded in Europe as poisonous, is employed by these people of the orient as a substitute for ardent spirits, one large specimen being sufficient to produce a pleasant in toxication for a whole day. In most European countries mush ; rooms brought to market are regularly i inspected and sometimes taxed, the j former precaution Leing taken to exclude poisonous varieties. The traffic of the ! world in this sort of fuugus food amounts to many millions of dollars yearly. This is almost the only nation which docs not recognize it ns a source of maintenance r and revenue. Saluting With the Nose, The junction of noses is so general, and described as so forcible in Africa aud Oceanica, as to have given rise to a fanciful theory that it had occasioned the flattening of the noses of the peoples. But in the accounts of many of the tribes of the Dark Continent and of the islanders of New Zealand, Rotoumn, Ta- j hiti, Tonga, Hawaii, and other groups, tho essential action djes not seem to be that of either pressure or rubbing, but of mutual smelling. It is true that travel- j era generally call it rubbing, but the mo- I tion aud pressure are no greater than i that of the muzzles of two dogs making I or ccmentiug acquaintance. The prcs I " smo and rub are secondary and em phatic. The juncture only means the compliment, 44 You smell very good!" It is illustrated iu the Navigator group j when tho noses of friends are saluted | with a long and hearty rub and the cx- j planatory words l4 Good! very good; I am happy now!" The Calmucks also go through a suggestive pantomime of i greeting in which they creep on their knees to each other and then join noses, i as much as possible like the two dogs before mentioned. In the Navigator j Islands only equals mutually rub their noses. The inferior rubs his own nose on and smells the superior's hand. The respectful greeting of the Fiji is to take and smell the hand of the superior with out rubbing it. In the Gambia when the men salute the women they put the I* woman's hand up to their noses and smell twice at the back of it. In the Friendly Islands noses are joined, adding the i ceremony of taking the hand of the per son to whom civilities are paid and rub bing it with a <Vgrec of force upon the sal liter's own nose and mouth. The Mariana-Islanders formerly smelled at the hands of those to whom they wished to tender homage. Captain Bcechy describes of the Sandwich-Islanders: 44 Thc lips are drawn inward between the teeth, the nostrils are distended, and the lungs are widely inflated; the face is then pushed forward, the noses brought into contact, and the ceremony con cludes with a hearty rub."—[Popular Science Monthly. i China's Sleigh of State. Two sleighs of state have recently been completed for the Emperor and Empress of China at tho Royal Carriage Factory in Charlottenburg, Germany. Both arc of the same design, and con structed to scat one person. In shape they resemble large sedan chairs placed on runners and supported by iron scroll work df renaissance design, silvered in parts and gilt in- others. The outside panels are decorated with Chinese devices, carried out in gold on a ground of red lacquer—amongst them tho Imperial dragon with five claws. On the corners of the top arc four dragons of bronze, holding large pepdant tassels of yellow silk. Another dragon rises be tween the runners in front. The interior is upholstered in yellow I silk, and in the front fnrt is an arrange ! ment to contain a clock, looking-glass, flagons aud other toilet utensils. The sleigh is eventually to be drawn by two or more mandarins.—[New York Journal. The Terrible 44 Black Death.'' Black Death derives its name from tho gangrenous scabs formed by the carbun cles that accompany the disease. The causes of it arc manifold, and for the most part atmospheric. Alluvial or marshy grounds, a hot, moist air, bad ventilation, poor drainage, unwholesome diet, insuf ficient or ill-cooked food, and irrational ways of life generally are given by medi cal authorities as specific causes. Tho incipient development of the disease lasts some eight days. After that the course varies in different cases. A mild fever sometimes follows, and small spots like insect bites appear on the body, especially the parts exposed to air. These spots swell, turn black, and arc finally an inch or an inch and a half in diameter. After the scabs from these sores fall away, tho fever subsides. In other cases large car buncles come in the groin aud armpits and occasionally on the neck. The fever is then very high, and headaches, dizzi ness, chills, redness of the eyes, and weakness of the pulse are accompanying symptoms. The length of the course of the diseaso varies. Many cases are on record of deaths within twenty-four hours. Usu ally, however, the disease runs a week oi two. 44 1t is transmitted," says a report of the French Academy, 44 by means of miasmata given out by the bodies of tho sick. These miasmata, in close, ill-ven tilated places, may create centres of pes tilentia. infection. It results from tho observations made at the lazarettos for more than a year that merchandise dce9 not transmit the plague." The origin of the plague dates back, in the opinion of many, to gray antiquity. Others believe it first appeared in tho East in mediaeval times. The climates of Egypt, Syria and Turkey are especial ly favorable to the development of tho plague. In the middle ages and up to 1665 the plague visited England cvciy thirty or forty years. It was in Marseil les in 1720, in 1771-72, and in tho Neapolitan country as late as 1815. Tho most dreadful record of Black Death was made in the fourteenth century, when it started in Avignon and spread like wild fire to the north and south. One hun dred thousand persons are said to have died of it in Venice, 60,000 in Florence, and 70,000 in Siena. In East Anglia 81)3 of the clergy were swept away in ono year, courts were deserted, public places were closed, and whole villages were de populated. Tobolsk, the Russian city just reached by the scourge, is at tho juuetion of the Irtish and Tobol rivers, ami has about 20,000 inhabitants. Ob dorsk, nenr the mouth of the Obi, is a hamlet of some 300 inhabitants. —[Bos- ton Transcript. Sulphur Mining in a Crater. Mouvel Los Tanos of Chihuahua, Mex ico, has been visiting friends in this city recently. Mr. Los Tanos is a Mexican mining engineer. He told of his descent into the crater of Popocatepetl, the vol cano which is now practically extinct. 44 1 went down into the crater of the mountain further probably than any other man, to examine the sulphur mines," said the young Spaniard. 44 Very few persons of the United States have even made the ascent of this mountain. It is worse than climbing the Matter horn. It costs about SSO in the first place, takes several days aud is very ex hausting. I was let down into the crater the same way that the Mexican minere who dug sulphur at this elevation of 18,000 feet—bymeaus of a windlass and a rope. The mouth cf the crater is more than Half a mile across. The mine is owned by General Ochoa, who lives in the City of Mexico. I saw there aud ex amined carefully thousands of tons of the purest sulphur ever mined. 44 When Cortcz and his soldiers visited that country they needed sulphur for gunpowder, and ascended the mountain for the first time iu its history, the na tives said. I tell you it must have taken a vast amount of nerve to go up an un known mountain like Popocatepetl and thcr descend into a crater like the mouth of that volcano. I think, everything considered, it beats anything I havo ever heard of in history or fiction. The na% tives who gather the sulphur now only secure small packages of it, which they fasten to their bucks. They then slide down the snow on the mountain after the manner of the woodcutters of France. For this venturesome work they get about twenty ceuts a day."—[Kansas City Tunes. Nine Solemn Owls. Here is a row of the queerest creatures imaginable, nine solemn owls, whose monkey like faces—they arc well named —are usually enough to cause a general laugh among the beholders. This brood of owls are raised from oue that was given to the museum, with the aid of a couple that were taken from the towers of the Smithsonian building. They are not as a rulo indigenous to this olijnatc, abounding in such States as Florida aud Texas; but of late there have bjon sev eral broods discovered here. They are about the size of a large dove, of a light brown or snuff color, and they spend most of their time standing on one leg apiece, apparently asleep. But they are not, usually, for it is said by the keepers that each und every one of them has its eyes fixed on a certain small hole in the floor just iu front of the perch. Through this hole it is the misfortune of rats to wauder occasionally, but they never go back, for at the first glimpse of a rat each of those nine owls dives down to the hole, and in another minute poor rat has furnishc I a meal for one of them. It is related that one day a mink escaped from ono of the cages and there was a stampede of rats all through the build ing. A tyundred at least tried to escape from the ravenous animal through this hole, but ns fust as one would put its head up into the opening it would bo nabbed by one of the waiting nine. Tho owls had more to eat that day than they ever had since.—[Washington Btar. Lunatics Punished in China. In China, acts of homicide or inurdei committed by lunatics are rare. In that country the iron hand of Justice works inexorably, and the pleaof insanity is not admitted "as a mitigation of punishment. In the last Imperial Gazette a laborer was s~-tcuced to death in the usual manner appointed for the crime of parricide, while his relatives, who had neglected to inform the authorities that the man was insane, were each sentenced to receive 100 blows with a stick. According to Western ideas, this pun ishment of a lunatic is cruel, but there can be little doubt that the severity adds largely to the protection of the public, as is evidenced by the rarity of crime by lu natics in China. NOTES AND COMMENTS. FIVE shillings a week i 9 tho sum paid to the toiling women who arc builaing roads in remote districts of Ireland this inclement weather. IT IS reported that the accounts of the Paris exhibition of 1889 will show a sur plus to the state's credit, and it is, be sides, an agreeable contrast to the result of tho exhibition of '7B, when there was a large deficit. WHILE Germany loses only 110 persons per annum from smallpox, France loses 14,000. Dr. Brouardel attributes this astounding difference to the rigid way in which vaccination is enforced in Ger many, and to the carelessness of his own countrymen in this matter. IN one column of a New York paper there appears a paragraph stating that 100,000 men are out of work in that city, and right below it is another giving the total salaries to be paid the New York baseball players as $50,100 for the com ing season. What a combination of poverty and pleasure! TRINITY, in New Y'ork city, is by far the richest parish in this country, and even in the world. The taxable prop erty, which produces an annual income, anil is leased for secular purposes, is valued at only $8,000,000, but the im mense blocks upon which Trinity Church aud St. Paul's chapel stand arc worth enormous sums. MOIIE than 200,000 wells have been sunk in the oil fields of western Penn sylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio in the last thirty years. The total production of petroleum foots up probably moro than 500,000,000 of barrels. The wells cost, on an average, at least $3,000 apiece, and represent in the aggregate a larger investment than the total money engaged in the iron aud steel industries. IN England rcceutly it was decided that there is no legal liability for wound ing a person in a hunting field where the injury was not intentional or due to carelessness. Tho case was rather ag grcvatcd, as a man employed to beat up pheasants and carry game lost the use of one eye through the shot of one of the sportsmen. The jury decided that the sportsman was not negligent, but they assessed the damages at 11100, should the Judge find that there was legal liability. It would be very diffi cult to find a jury in this country so partial to huntiug as to relieve a sports man from all blame, and for the loss of an eye SSOO would be regarded as mere ly trilling damages. 44 1T is bad enough," says a physiciau, 4, t0 have quinine sold as freely as sugar, but morphine is a drug which ought to be retailed only under special conditions. Some cough pills contain an extraordin ary amount of morphine, and it is really wondorful more serious consequences do not result. A few days ago I was called to see a man who was very sick, and who had evidently takcu a large quautity of morphine internally. He explained that he had been taking some pills for dys pepsia, and when these were shown to me I saw at once that cough pills had been given him by mistake. He had taken as many as six at a dose, and if he had not been blessed with a wonderful constitution he would have found it dif ficult to pull round." GENERAL DIAZ, the President of Mex ico, is going to try a peculiar experiment in leaving his country to go to Europe. Ilis strength in Mexico is mighty, but it is thought that it depends on his presence there. After he had been President as long as the customs and the law allow lie resigned and another man took his place, but after one term of private life the law was changed and he was re-elected with longer possibilities of service. As an ex ample of his methods it is recollected that he found bands of brigandish, dis orderly outlaws in many of the States. He ordered the various Governors to send him the names of these freebooters. Then he sent for the outlaws themselves, and told them he intended to organize them into a sort of militia or civil guard. He added that they could fall in with his plan or be huuted down and shot, which ever they chose. They chose to be sol diers, and now compose a splendid or ganization. THE era of the wooden sailing vessel, according to the Captain of an American ship, is passing away. He predicts that within fifty years the wooden deep-sea ship will be as rare ns the wooden steam ship is now. He says the steel ship is lighter, cheaper, and, in proportion to the size of hull, has a greater carrying capacity than the wooden craft. Freight rates arc eight times as low as they were when the Dread naught made her famous run to Liverpool, and to carry freight profitably the hold of the modern ship must be capacious and her crew must work cheaply. Machinery for hoisting sail has lightened the work of the sailor man and cheapened his labor. The Bri tish shipyards are turning out big steel sailing craft with a rapidity that indi cates that they have come to stay. "With in the last few years a fleet of about twenty monster four-masters, all measur ing more than 2,000 tous, have been launched. 4 'THE Jones County Calf Case" is the title of a legal action which will pass into tho history of lowa jurisprudence as one of its most celebrated cases. The calves involved were not more than ordinary calves—born in a very common manger, nourished with the usual lacteal fluid, and turned out to grass as soon as they were able to work their grinders success fully. The calves that were, if alive, must be gray and decrepit cows. Twen ty years ago the action was begun. It lias been in the lower courts several times and has graced the Supreme Court —not the calves, but tho case involving the calves—with its presence on more than one occasion. The attorneys havo waxed fat and rich over it. The yoiin" bo vines may have been worth $45 when the case began. The total cost of tho case amounts to about $20,000. If nny one believes that there is nothing in litigation let him contemplate these fig ures. Remedy For Mosquito I i es. A German chemist, after a somewhat learned dissertation on the various kinds of mosquitoes and their respcctiv e char acteristics and virulence, condescends to give a useful piece of practical informa tion. lie says that of the various reme dies recommended for mosquito bites such as ammonia, oil of cloves, chloro form, carbolized glycerine, etc., none is better than ordinary soap. He is an ardent naturalist and on his frequent excursions in the country he invariably carries a small piece of soap, with which, in case of a bite, he makes a lather all over the affected part and allows it to 3ry on. He almost invariably finds that the relief is instantaneous, and that all pain soon ceases. Should it continue, riowevcr, as sometimes happens, it is only necessary to repeat the application. —[Commercial Advertiser. No Sex In Writing. A well known newspaper proprietor tells an experience of his own in illus tration of his belief that, given a fair chance, women will do even bet ter work thah men as writers tor news papers. "For years, w he says, "we have published a weekly article which has at tracted widespread attention and inter est. It is. I may say, one tho leading features of the paper. For a long time it was written by a man whom I had not seen. One morning his wife came to me, saving her husband was ill, and unable to do his work any longer. For a number of months past she had been writing his editorials for him, and had now come to ask if she could continue doing so. 'Certainly,' said L 'lf you have been writing them you can go on; but say nothing of the chauge to any one.' Some time after this the hus band died. On going to the office in the morning, one of my editors met me with a face a yard long, 'Mr. Blank is dead,' said he, 'and I don't know what we are going to do without him. His articles were such a special feature, and there is no one else in the country with ability enough to write them.' 'lsn't there?' I asked. 'But do you think that they have been as good as usual of late?' 'Better,' he replied. 'The articles became stronger and wiser the older he grew. During the last few months they have been particularly good. We can never secure auy one who could do them one-tenth as well,' he added mournfully. 'Oh, yes, we can,' I answered. 'lt may interest you to know that for more than a year post Mr. Blank has not written one line for the paper.' 'Not written one line?' gasped my amazed editor. 'No; for tho last year aud longer Mrs. Blank has been doing her husband's work, and she is still quite capable of continuing to do so.' And she did,anddoe3 to-day. JPP H REMEDY FOR PAIN "German Syrup" G. Gloger, Druggist, Watertown, Wis. This is the opinion of a man who keeps a drug store, sells all medicines, comes in direct contact with the patients and their families, and knows better than anyone else how remedies sell, and what true merit they have. He hears of all the failures and successes, and can therefore judge: "I know of no medicine for Coughs, Sore Tiiroat, or Hoarseness that had done such ef fective work in my Coughs, family as Boschee's Sore Throat, German Syrup. Last winter a lady called Hoarseness, at my store, who was suffering from a very severe cold. She could hardly talk, and I told her about German Syrup and that a few doses would give re lief; but she had no confidence in patent medicines. I told her to take a bottle, and if the results were not satisfactory I would make no charge for it. A few days after she called and paid for it, saying that she would never be without it in future as a few doses had given her relief.'' © The Almanac. The word "almanac" is probably taken from the Arabic " Almanah" meaning reckoning. Tables represent ing almanacs were first used by the Arabs as astronomical guides, manu scripts of some of those of tbe middle ages can be fonnd in various English and European libraries. The British museum preserves manuscript almanacs of tho fourteenth century. It is believed that Purbaok, tho Ger man astronomer, published the first printed almanac at Vienna in 1457. "Poor Robin's Almanac" tbe most famous was first issued in 16G3. Under Jame3 I. almanacs wore monopolized by the stationers' company and tho uni versities and astrology and superstition were there principal contents. Franco has issued more almanacs than any other country. William Bradford, of Philadelphia, issued in 1087 the first American almanac. Franklin's celebrated "Poor Richard's Almanac," first published by him in 1732, and continued about twenty-five years, became very popular in this country as well as in England and France, where ils proverbial and wise utterances were reprinted and translated." "The American Almanac and Repository of useful knowledge" was published from 1828 to 1801 at Boston. The "National Almanac" which was a continuation of the above was published at Philadelphia for 1803 and 1804 only.

HSkins''inn If 1 ;'. r " r K ""' n>™. > Tallow, by Geo. M. Etonians, Newton. N. J. There's a good deal of fuarantee business in the store eeping of to-day. It's too excessive. Or too reluctant. Half the time it mean? noth ing. Words ojily words. This offer to refund th^ 1 money, or to pay a reward, is made under the hope that you won't want your money back, and that you won't claim the reward. Of course. So, whoever is honest in making it, and works—not oil his own reputation alone, but through the local dealer whom you know, must have some thing he has faith in back of the guarantee. The business wouldn't stand a year with out it. What is lacking is confi dence. Back of that, what is lacking is that clear honesty which is above the " average practice." Dr. Pierce's medicines are guaranteed to accomplish what they are intended to do, and their makers give the money back if the result isn't ap , parent. Doesn't it strike you that a medicine which the makers have so much confidence in, is the medicine for you ? CACTUS /'jonesN [ TON SCALES \ / OP \ S6O ] [binghamtoh] \Bam Box Tare Beam / V& N. Y.
