Why then should the cultivation of this edible fungus be neglocted when it is known that albumen is the chief of the plastio respiratory aliments, which build up the tissues and furnish fuel for the machinery of the body? Might not the cultivation of the mushroom on a large scale be inado a source of wealth to the producer as well as a new con tribution to a health-diet for the con sumer? Without doubt, besides serving his own pocunlury ends, the producer would be rendering a great service to humanity, for It has been proved by the latost evi dence that It Is the privation of albumi nous aliments that maintains (ho death rate at Its present high figure. Much has been written about the fungi as a valuable source of nitrogenous food, yet their adoption as a part of our dally faro haH not become common, no doubt from the poisonous nature of many of them. Often accidents occur by the use of the wrong species, and sorlous Injury to tho health has been done by breath ing the spores of some of them. To have a species at hand that can bo de pended on as always being good, would furnish a valuablo addition to tne table of pleasant and nourishing food. A warm, dry climate Is not so favor able to their growth as moisture and a moderate temperature. They grow most abundantly In Scotland In the autumn. Holoct a cool, shady place lor your mushroom bods, and which can easily be kept moist. Make the beds of stifle manure. Clean droppings are more con venient. If fresh mix with about one third of loamy soil and heap up and press (Irmly together till It begins to ferment. Then turn over and allow to cool down for a few daya. The bed should bo about twelve or Ufteon Inches deep, well pressed down. Get mushroom spawn, which Is sold In clay copes, break It up and scatter evenly over your bod and cover with a thin sprinkling of soil. When the spawn has begun to spread, cover over with about two Inches of soil, and then wait for your crop, which will come In about a month orslx weeks, and may be gathered dally for three or four moutliB. It Is a common practice to grow them In caves where a moist equable temperature can be preserved. In Edinburgh an old railway tunnel has been utilized for the purpose of growing mushrooms, and has proved a paying speculation. In this climate the bods should be well covered so as to prevent evaporation and to keep them cool. Where they begin to fall In bearing their fertility may be renewed for a time by a good sprinkling of stablo urine and water. Corr. JiivemuU l'rena. System in the Garden. It is not yot tlmo to begin gardening, but It Is a good time to plan for tho crisp, spicy vouotabloB of which we are all so fond. The vegetablo garden Is generally a small and neglected bit of ground of which most extraordinary results areox- inikUmI. It 1b really astonishing what iiiav be Brown on a little ground, but mo greatest pleasure aud the greatest profit (tan only bo seonreu iy tne use 01 au in telligent system as regards every foot of the ground. Every time a crooked row or uneven bed Is made the eye Is offended and one step Is taken toward failure. Horace Greeley's ldoa that crooked rows gave the most room for plants uleu wiui bun.

How a Man ltecame a Colonel on Short Hervlue. Col. Ike Hill, of Licking county, without doubt one of Hie greatest of national characters, was in the city a few days ago. To a number of old friends, who braved the terrors of war, he related how he came by the title of Colonel. "I served in the army one consecu tive night," said Ike. "It was tho Army of tho Potomac, and it was near Alexandria when I found them. I was on my way there, and on the train, not far from Alexandria, met an old- friend who was an officer in that army. 1 was then a great short-card player and he knew it. He invited mo to go down to camp, telling mo I could win a bar rel of money. Well, I went. "It was long toward evening, and that night we nad a game of poker. Why, I won at least $3,000, breaking them all. One of the crowd of ollicers was a sore loser, and when he had staked and lost his last cent ho pulled his revolver and made me throw up my hands. Then they took every cent I had and turned me over from one guard to another UDtil I landed in the bull pen at Alexandria. I was dressed fit to kill , and one of those devils took a knife, running it up the back of my Prince Albert, slitting it to the neck. My patent leather shoes were all burst from walking and I was about dead, besides being 'busted.' I succeeded in getting out of the prison and over to Washington, whore Mrs. Sunset Cox loaned me $25 in gold." "Was that all of your war cxper ienceP" asked one of the party. "That was all. Cant. Uwens once asked me, in a very surprised way, whether I had thrown up my hands when they told me to. I said 1 did. "lou wanted no more war, then, in yours?' "No, indeed. Some time afterwards, in No'.v York, I met a friend of mine who was an officer connected with the Army of the Cumberland. Ho and several others and myself were chat ting, and tltey were telling mo how many barrels of money I could win if I would only go with them to the army. "Gentlemen," I said, "I believe it is all true what you tell mo about the money I could win. I guess I could win a house full, but I can't whip that confounded Army of the Cumberland any more than 1 could whip the Army of the Potomac. So, you see, I couldn t got away with the money. Cincinnati Inquirer. Scarlet Fever Microbes Live Long. Thirtv-live vears airo an omilcnt family lived in one of our most beauti ful suburbs. Two lovely children graced the happy household. lint scarlet fever close J their eyes in death. The grief-stricken mother gathered up little slips, slippers, and toys, with two golden tresses, and reverently laid them away in a trunk as sad but priceless mementoes of her lost darlings. War camo with its tragic vicissitudes, and death time and again throw its shadow over tho hearthstono. Finally the place passed into strangers' hands. Last year two families took it as a summer residence. The children, six in number, with childish curiosity be gan to explore the secret recesses of the grand old house. In the closet was found the forgotten trunk. A touch dissolved tho timo-corroded clasp, and one by ono the sacred relies were removed until a failed newspaper was found, which told the pathetic story. Half-spelling out the meaning they took it to (heir mother, who eluded their curiosity and tenderly replaced the treasures. Five days after this occurrence two of tho children were seized with scarlet fever, and forty-eight hours later the other four were attacked. Two cases were grave, tho others mild. All re covered. Was the disease contracted from the trunk? I think so, because there was no other ascertainable source of infection. Journal of Sunfry. Two of a Kind. It is said of the wife of a certain con gressman, who has earned a sort of Mrs. Mataprop reputation here, that she went nut long ago to a local intel ligence office to engage iv servant. 'The lirst one to whom she spoke knew Kn glish imperfectly, hut said, when asked what country she came from, "I um a Hoheniian." '(loudness me!" replied tho con gressman's wife, with a virtuous shud der. "I am sincerely grieved to hear such a confession from a young person so apparently innocent as yourself. My husband 1ms often told me that Ho hemiauism was simply another form for disreputaliility. However, 1 trust that there is still a chance for you to reform." And with this she drew her matronly skirts ii way from the suspicious young woman of Bohemia, and went over to another applicant for a domestic situa tion. Aor did the latter fail to satis factorily, though unconsciously, avenge her sister in employment.

WHAT SHE CAN DO. Some IteHpoctH In Which the Weaker Cur lllHcount the stt'oiifrer Hex. The Hoston Timu.i in a spirit of fair ness admits, and even proclaims, that there are some desirable tilings a woman can do. Hero is a sauipli batch: She can come to a conclusion with out the slightest trouble of reasoning on it, and no man can do that. Six of them can talk at once and gel along iirst-rate, and no two men can dr that. She can safely stick lifty pins in her tL'ess while ho is getting one under hi.' thumb-nail. She is as cool as a cucumber in a hall dozen tight dresses and skirts, while a man will sweat and fume and growl in one loose shirt. She can talk as sweet as peaches and cream to tho woman sho hates, while two men would be punching each other's head before they had exchanged ten words. She can throw a stone with a curve that would be a fortune to a base-bull pitcher. She can say "110" in such a low.voici that it means "yes." She can sharpen a lead pencil if you give her plenty of time aud plenty ol pencils. She can dance all night in a pair of shoes two sizes too small for her and enjoy every minute of tho tini . She can appreciate a kiss from hni husband seventy-five years after the marriage ceremony is performed. SI10 can go to church aud afterward tell you what every woman in tho con gregation nan on, and 111 some rare in stances can give you somu faint idea of wnat tlio text was. She can walk half tho niirht with a colicky baby in her arms without once expressing the desire of murdering the nilant. She can do more in a minute than a man can do in an hour and do it better, Sho can drive a man crazy in twenty four hours and then briny: him to para dise in two seconds by simply tickling nun under me clnn, ami there does not live that mortal son of Adam's miser) who can do it. How Ono May Kill Time. A man whose head is bulging with mathematical problems has iigured out the disposition of every hour of the daily life of an average man, and tells just how many hours a man of 50 has devoted to his toilet, meals or uuwspa per. "Let us assume," said he, "that the sleeping hours of an average man will number eight daily. That is one-third of his time, so that in fifty years your man will have slept, all told, sixteen years and eight months. The man who is shaved daily at 60 years proba bly Had lus taee scraped not oltener than three times per week at zo years, while during his lirst eighteen years a razor never touched his lace. Say that tho senii-eentenarian has averaged two shaves a week for fifty years, and that will give 5,700 scrapes in the half century. At an average of fifteen minutes per shave the time de voted to this one small element of life will run up to lifty-niue days and nine hours. If a man should not shave in fifty years, and then attempt to mako up his proportion all at once, he would liav to shave night and day for nearly two months, Tho average man who is not limited to twenty minutes for dressing, breakfast and catching tho train, con sumes about thirty minutes in getting inside his clothing 111 the morning. Half an hour per day for iifty years would amount to one year, fifteen days and live Hours, so that if a man should dress himself at the start in life for the wholo fifty years, says tho Baltimore S'k, he would pass two weeks beyond his lirst birthday anniversary, and this means working twenty-four hours per ") A Kelf-wlinllng Clock. The New Haven Clock Company, after a year or two of experiment, have at last perfected a piece of nieclianicism which, if it does not realize tho desire for perpetual motion, seems at least to bo a step in that direction. They are now manufacturing and about to put on the market a self-winding clock. Tho motive power is furnished by electricity generated by two Leclnnche cells, w hich do the work cIToctually fol from twelve to eighteen months with out renewal. I ho mechanism is sim ple in tho extreme. Much of the ordi nary clock is omitted, and littlo re mains save the escapement wheel. The clock is wound every hour by a cur rent from tho two cells of the battery working through a pair of magnets, The maiu wheel, winch revolves once an hour, connects the current at every revolution. When the contact is first made and the current passes through the magnets the armature is pulled down to the magnet heads, drawing with it an arm which winds ono tootli of the ratchet wheel which is fastened to the box con taining a spring of the finest steel at tached to the center pinion. 1 Ins opera tion is repeated for live or ten seconds at the rale of three blows a second un til the spring is wound and the current is cut oil' by the passage around of the main w heel.

It may, perhaps, interest readers to know some of the secrets of cheap glove-making. My facts relate to Bohemia, from which country many cheap gloves are imported. Before the introduction of tho glove sewing ma chine, which took place about 1M70, a simple apparatus was in use consisting of two brass plates, in which the stitches were incised, holding tightly together the leather parts of the glove, while the needle of the sewer followed easily these incised stitches. It was an easy work, not at all injurious to body or eye, and an industrious and quiet girl could, without any exertion, sew two pairs of gloves a day, fur which she received from 2 1-2 pence to 8 pence each, equal to about 5 pence to 6 pence a day. Very poor wages, uut, tne money was earned in a comfortable way. Let ub now compare what progress these girls made in tho golden era of machinery. The poor sewers are never in a position to acquire the requisite sum to be owners of these machines. The district to which I refer is a poor, mountainous part, the men mostly miners of au imperial silvermine, with daily wages of 16 pence. The requisite machines are owned by middlemen, called factors to whom the glove manu facturers from all parts of Austria send their unfinished gloves for sewing. These factors are proprietors of a cer tain number of machines from twenty upward to a hundred which are fitted up in workrooms, most 01 them very indifferently suited for tho purpose. 'The poor girls from the neighboring dis trict have often to walk a distanco of eight miles to iind work in such work rooms. They leave their miserable cottages at 4 a. m. to begin their day's work at b a. m. Alter a hard labor of twelve hours on a most complicated machine, aud after having passed an other two hours on the wav home, their whole earning consists of 7 pence. In cluding the hours she loses on the road, sho works ninety-six hours a week for 3 shillings 6 pence, her body continually bent over a most complicated machine, her eyes watch ing leather thread, and needle incessant ly, her foot moving continually, amid the rattle of many machines, 111 a most sickly atmosphere. This is how cheap gloves are made. THE EMPEROR MERO. The Trouble Ho Took to Keep Ills Voice Soft and Sweet A useful example of the proper enre of the voice is to be found in a very un expected quarter says tho !ontcmporary Hcvkw. The Emperor Nero, as is well known, believed himself to bo a great artist, a notion of which those about wero not likely to disabuse him. Hip dying words, "Qualis artifex pereo!" show that ho had at least one feature ol the artistic temperament. Ho sought fame by many paths, in poetry.liddling, driving and other branches of the line arts, to say nothing of his scientific ex periments on the bodies of his nearest relations. The imperial virtuso was particularly vain of his voico, which I can well imagine to have been soft and sweet, qualities which often enough accompany a cruel nature. He was proportionately careful of so precious a possession. His system is worth quoting. In addition "to such general measures as attending to his liver, and abstaining from such fruits as he 'fancied to be injurious to his voice, wa are told that at night he used to lie on his back, with a small plate of lead on his stomach. This was probably for tho purpose of checking tho tendency to abdominal breathing, which has al ready been referred to 'is the less per fect way in respiration for singers. In order to spare his voice all unnecessary fatigue he gave up haranguing hut troops aud ceased even to address the senato. As in later times there were keepers of the king's conscience Nero gave his voice into tho keeping of a phonascus. He spoke only in the presence of this vocal director, whose duty it was to warn hiiu when his tones became too loud or when he seemed to be in danger of straining his voice. To tho same functionary was intrusted the formidable duty of check ing the emperor's eloquence when it became too impetuous. This lie did by covering the imperial orator's mouth with a napkin. It must have needed no small measure of courage to apply this effectual method of "closure to the arch-tyrant of history when intoxi cated with the exuberunco of his own vocalization. Charles Sumner on Mucaulay. Macaulay was truly oppressive. 1 now understand Sydney Smith, who called Macaulay a tremendous ma chine for colloquial oppression. His memory Is prodigious, surpassing any thing 1 have ever known, and lie pours out his stores w ith an instructive but dinning prodigality. He passes from the minutest dates of Lnglish history or biography to a discussion of the comparative merits of different ancient orators, and gives you wholo M ropes fr?m the dramatists at will. He can repeat every word of every article he has ever written without prompting; but he lias neither grace of body, face. uor voice; he is without intonation or variety; and he pours on like Horace's river, while we, poor rustics, foolishly think lie win cease; and u you speak, he does not respond to what you say, but, while your last words are yet on your liiw. takes up aL'ain his wonderful tale, lie will not confess ignorance of anything, though I verily believe no one would ever have occasion .to make the confession. 1 have heard him call ed the most remarkable person of his ajro, ami again the most overrated one, You will see that he has not left upon mo an entirely agreeable impression still 1 confess his great and magnificent annulments and powers.

A certain lady, says tho Moston Courier, had once a valuablo St. Bern ard of excellent pedigreo, carefully trained, and in all respects of well-nigh ideal excellence save for one fault: He would kill lambs. Ho was beaten, he was imprisoned, the body of the latest lamb which had fallen a victim to his fury was fastened around his neck as a bailee of shame, but nil to no avail. His mistress concluded that it was im possible to break him of his fault and that she must sell him. While matters were in this state a friendly farmer who had some occasion got into his head the fact thai the dog's mistress was fond of pets sent her a snowy cosset, all gay with ribbons and looking as innocent as innocence itself. The lady was in despair. She expect ed that her dog would fall upon tie lamb and tear it limb from limb; but having in the past had much exper ience with pets she said to herself that if this catastrophe was to happen she did not propose to have it postponed until sho became deeply attached to the new-comer, and so deliberately led the lamb up to the dog, said to him that it was her lamb, and directed him to watch it. The dog looked at her rather wistfully, evidently requesting permission to tear the pretty innocent, but she sternly shook her head and de parting left the pair together on the lawn. She is willing to admit, now that the trial proved successful, that she had no idea that it would, and that sho ex pected to find the lawn strewn with the dismembered fragments of the lamb. When a few hours later she returned, however, the dog was found to have taken the lamb into his especial favor ami tinder his especial protection. He lay down with it, lie followed it about, and seemed to have becomo uncom monly fond of it in a way not at all allied to carnivorous instincts. . In short the lamb and the dog became the closest of friends, and as long us they two did live they continued to dwell together in peace and affection. And the remarkable part of the talc is that from that day the dog no more molested any lambs whatsoever. It Mas a plain case of similia similibtis curantur. T he dog was at once and forever cured of bis vice, and his fond mistress relates this story 10 admiring friends with mingled pride and affec tion. One Pair of Gloves for Two.
