Men Who live In Dark Caverns In France
and liaise Mushrooms.
The" cultivation of mushrooms is really
a matter of "ancient history" in France.
The people are so fond of them and
find them so nutritious as well as profitable that very few Frenchmen are so
poor as to be obliged to do without their
beloved vegetable.
Notwithstanding the antiquity of tha
mushroom it is, even in these days of
enlightenment, a mystery. Nobody,
save a few savants, knows much about
it, but everybody in France knows that
it can' be made to grow in almost any
quantity desired.
-. The mushroom loves a .place that ia
cool, damp and dark, and it is for this
teason that the mushroom is almost invariably cultivated in subterranean- excavations throughout France.
' In the department of the Seine there
are over 3,000 of these caves, and in
them live about 300 people—"cham-
pigrionists," who rarely see the daylight. The descent into these caves is
by Way of rope ladders.
One of the most interesting sights
around Paris is the subterranean excavations where this vegetable is raised.
Some of the caves are nothing more or
less than tunnels, while others ate exhausted stone quarries; quite a number
of them extending under the streets of
the city. These caves have to be specially prepared for their growth, and
great care and attention are" given to
their keeping and perfect preservation.
The temperature varies but little in
Bummer, and only climatic influences,
that is a very wet or very dry season,
more than one of heat or cold, tends to
affect the daily production of the beds.
As nearly as possible a temperature of
42 degrees F. is maintained. It is
algo, considered of great importance that
the air currents move invariahly in the
same direction. This should he from
north to south, and never more than
slightly appreciable. The mushroom
beds are prepared by sprinkling a quantity of dried and pulverized wild mushrooms over a layer of earth heavily enriched; then, in alternate layers, the
mushroom powder and earth are put together until a height of about three feet
is attained. In about three months from
the time the bed is prepared they begin
to bear and when once started continuously bring forth largo quantities each
day, regulated more or less according to
the atmosphere of the caves.—San Francisco Gall.    c

"I had a bunion on my left foot that,
as a paine producer, was on a par at
least with the hoils, sores, rheumatics
and colics that made poor old Job's life
so miserahle. I do not have the bunion
now, for Lightning HotDrops reduced
the swelling, killed the pain, rotted

Cars For Headache.
As a remedy for all forms of Headache
Electric Bitters has proved to be the very
best. It effects a permanent cure and the
most dreaded habitual sick headaches yield
to its influence. We urge all who are
afflicted to procure a bottle, and give this
remedy a fair trial. In cases of habitual
constipation Electric Bitters cures by giving the needed tone to the bowels, and few
cases long resist the use of this medicine.
Try it once. Large bottles only Fifty

CAKE AN OLD INSTITUTION.
Tina   Ancients   Made   and  Ate It, lint It
IVas a Simple Afl*air,
The ancient^ made cake, but it was
not the rich, highly seasoned and fla
vored confection which we indulge in
nowadays. They had plain cakes made
with flour and water, some of them
without a suspicion of sweet or flavor.
Some pf them were not unlike our
plainest crackers and were often eaten
as we eat bread.
Wedding cake was au institution
among them, as with us, but the cake
was a plain one and was broken above
the head of the bride as she went to her
new home. ,Thjs was a special feature
of Roman marriages 2,000 years ago.
The breaking of the cake was part of a
solemn ceremony. All of tho cakes of
ancient history iiT'.i plain and Simple,
It is only ag \\*e come down to more
mp$ern, times that we hoar of spices
tvud fruits and all of the rich and luxurious ingredients in which present day
cakemakers delight. In Queen Elizabeth's time spice cakes and buns were
eaten at weddings. From these tho
fashion and fancy grew for all sorts of
elaborate and dclic.iously unwholesome
combinations until there seems to be a
perpetual struggle" for- something new
anc{ more unusual to stir into the cake
of the period.
Very many poisons think cake is unwholesome. Some sorts of cake may be,
but why a simple cake with a little
good fruit in it should be specially injurious is a puzzling question. Cake
made with fresh, ?\Vffit butter and fresh
eggs can, -scarcely be a tax on the diges-
\i\a powers, and no other shortening
save good butter should ever be pat into
i;iike.—Philadelphia Press.

A Dangerous Musical Icstrnmcnt.
It has been'discovered that the oboe
is the most dangerous instrument that
is played on—dangerous to the player,
A profound German medical authority
says that it is doubtful if ahealthyman
playing any instrurneat in a correct
method e^ej. suffers through playing
-jippj*, ;ipy reed er brass instrument, but
these who have any weakness of ,the
heart or circulation may be injured by
playing any wind instrument.
As it is quite easy for a musician to
inspire between the phrases of the
music, but impossible for him to expire
without overblowing his instrument, it
follows that the instruments: that require tho least expenditure of breath are
|he more injurious for the reason that
the player must hold his breath for long
intervals.
This is the case with both the oboe
and the flute. The charge is probably
true that the curious tickling of the
lips that is caused by the double reed
mouthpiece of tho instrument frequently causes cancer.
The eminent scientist who has dis,-.
Covered these things about the compar--:
atively harmless oboe, should npw-" ascertain whether •^CQOl'-cU'Pn V^d concerting play|ii|; does not superinduce muscular" paralysis in an aggravated and in-
incurablo form.—Now STork Journal.
The Last of Boodle's.
Another old. landmark is about to
disappear. Boodle's is one of the historical Clubs of London, a connecting link
with the days of "dandies" and fox
hunting squires. More than half a century ago Praed wrote:
In parliament I fill my seat
Along with other noodles;
In, Jerniyn street I lay my head
And sip my hock at Boodle's.
The proprietress of Boodle's is dead,
and, as there is now no one to carry on
the club, it must come to an end unless
the members acquire the property. But
there are only some 500 members, and
this number would have to be donbled
in order to run it as a members' club.
But, then, Boodle's would lose its distinctive charm, which lies in the fact
that in its lofty, old fashioned rooms
one is really at home.
It is the only club in London where
one is unelbowed by a crowd and where
one is never asked to pay for anything.
A member's house account is sent to
him only when he asks for it. Some enterprising gentleman like Mr. Algernon
Bourkomay possibly reorganizie the club
upon the lines of White's, but it will he
the old Boodle's no more. Electric light
and cash payment will 'supersede wax
candles and the. convenient "slate. "—

Royalty at the Camera,
When the Princess of Wales visits
the photographer she usually arranges
that her sitting shall take place in the
morning. A special studio is set apart
for the princess and other members of
the royal family. It is approached by a
private door, which leads to an anteroom provided with easy chairs and a
plentiful supply of illustrated papers.
A small chamber is fitted up as a dressing room, and here is to be found a
maid from Marlborough House, who has
preceded her royal mistress with a
dressing case containing brushes and
other toilet accessories. The princess,
having discussed the position in which
she is to be taken, arranges herself and
the operation proceeds. It is etiquette
on these occasions for the photographer
to address any remark he may have to
make to the lady in waiting in attendance, who in turn addresses the princess,
who replies through her also, but it is
needless to say that etiquette is dispensed with by the princess in many
lases.'—London Letter.
