Mushreem Oulture. Considerable inwre.s is being magi. fested in this country on the cultia tion of zhiushrooms. One editor of.a leading journal has fitted up a case near Glen Cove, L. L, at a cost of $8,000 fer the purpose. The spawn used in the United States Is that obtained at the feed stores, in the shape of bricks. The bricks are broken into pieces the size of hickory nuts, and placed in holes made by a dibble, some six Inches apart each way. In three or four weeks the spawn will have covered the bed, and in a few weeks the mushrooms will be large enotigh to pick, and the beds will last from tour Lo six months. The industry is one la which there is a promising re turn for the outlay in its development in the United States. Much the greater part of the mushroom product which goes to su, )ly the markets of world comes from abandoned portions of the stone and plaster quarries under the suburbs of Paris, and at other places in France. In the department of the Seine alone, In which Paris is situated, are some3,000 stone quarries,the abandoned parts of which are used by some 250 growers, producing, on an estimate, twenty-five tons of mushrooms daily, or to the value of $2,000,000 per annum. The eultivation of the mushroom in these caves, is an Interesting example of what may be accomplished Where skill and industry are given to the work, although the natural resources for its prosecution are of the most meager character. These caves are from twenty-five to 160 feet below the surface and are entered trough pit holes by climbing down a ladder made by thrusting rounds through a pole fixed upright. At the bottom of these pits or entrances the passages radiate in different directions to the caves. At convenient points piles ofl manure and siftings from the debris of the stone cuttings are piled and undergo prepara tion for the beds. When In proper condition, the beds-some twenty inches in depti-are placed in rows all over the bottom of the cave, with just a narrow passage between to facilitate the work of gaLering. New beds are continually in preparation to take the place of the exhausted ones, and the cropping goes On uninterruptedly. The general practice In obtaining spawn is to use so much of [n entire iresh bed when I t begins to show the growth, as is necessary each day, which gives a product several days earlier than when the dry dorn ..nt spawn is used. The shafts or openings to the surface are made numerous enough to give perfect ventilation both for the health of the mushroom and the workmen. Strong drafts and sudden changes ot tempera tures are guarded against by trap-doors. The nushroons are gathered daily at a very early hour in the morning, when the mushrooms large enough tor use are seized and given a slight twist to clear them front contact with any others not fully grown, and removed with the roots entire. Yosomito Creek Glacier. Tho broad many-fountained glacier to which tile basin of Yosemite creek belonged was about fourteen miles In length by four in with, and in many places was not less than a thousand feet in depth. Its principal tributaries issued from lofty amp~hithleatres laid well back among tile northtern spurs of the Iloflman range. T'hese at first ipur sued a westerly course; then, uniting with each other and absorbing a series of small a ffluents, from the Tuolumne, divided the trunk thus formed, swept round to the south in a magnifieent curve, and poured Its ice Into Yosemte t in cascades two miles wide. This broad glacier formed a kind of wrinkled ie cloud. As it grew older, It became more regular and river-like; encifrcling pecaks overshaudowved its upper foun t ainis, rock Islets rose at Intervals among its shal lowing currents, and its * bright sculptured banks, no where overflowe, xtended in massive elm the ce intr dew eara close, the - wholly disappeared in tihe suin, and a / waiting multitude of plants and ani mals enter tihe new valley to inhabit the mansions prepared for thorn. In the meantime the cief tributaries, creeping slowly back Into tihe shelter of their fountain shadows, continued to live and work independen tly, spread ing morailne soil for gardens, scooping basins for lakeicts, and leisurely com pleting the sculpture of their fountains. TIhese also hlave at last vanished, anld the wvhole basin la no0w full of light. Forests flourish luxuriantly over all its broad moraines, lakes and meadows nestle0 among its domes, and a thousantid flowery gardens are outspread along its streams. WVhen we walk the path ways of tile Yosemite glaciers and~ contomphlate their separate works--the mnoutntainis they have shaped, the can o ns they have furrowed, the rocks they have worn, and overwhelmed as at iirst with its uncomnpared magnitude, we ask, Is this all? wondering that so mighty a concentration of energy did not find yet grander expreseion. * (John afuir, in Overland, 11nr(1 as a Jnneraetor. It ia estimated that the Insects hnjurme the crops of the United States to the value of .$10,000,000 annually, and It is believed that much tile 'kreater' part of * this loss might be avoided by prevent ing the dlestruotion of birds. Our hus banqmon, as a rule, seem to treat their * best friends as their most deadly one mices, and lose directly and severely by doing. We always reel like choking ignoramus wviao, armed with a ble-barreled shotgun, spendhs the t part of the day In shooting birds afor fun." This fun should be ned down by public sentiment and hibited by legal enactment. --Horse racing en Boston Common Was complained of in 1769.

STUSnnL-FaLos.--bare stubbles are often left to becomq a nursery for weeds, and the worst of our commonest weeds are thus multiplied and perpetua, ted. Rag weeds, amaranths, pig-weeds, beggar's-icks,and even thistles are per mitted to overrun the fields as soon as the crops are removed. and are even seen surrounding the potatoe-tops and hiding these from sight. I have seen corn-stalks from which a crop oc green ears have been taken and left to remain on the ground until these weeds out. grew them and overtopped them, ripen ing 'seeds and stocking the ground with a supply suficient for a score of years of hard work. I don't know of any other buisiness in which a man wastes his labor so much as in farming, and by negclect causes himself so much fu ture work or expense.* It is thus not only in regard to weeds. but with in sects of all kinds, which are permitted to increase and multiply by myriads until either one-fourth of the crops are destroyed by them, or the crop is saved only at the cost of one-fourth Its value. some of my neighbors insist that it is useless to fight against weeds or insects, that they are "natural to the ground,' and spring out of itspon taneously and without seuding or bree dint. In the same way a dairyman once would have me believe that the mag gots in cheese originated naturally irom cheese, and scout-d the advice that he should keep the flies out of his curing-room, on the ground that the tiles had notating to do with the mag gots. And yet we sometimes hear that farmers can never learn anything from agricultural colleges or experiment sta tions. The trouble is,that farmers who have these ideas do not read, observe, or excercie their coinmon sense, APPLE.-Apples suould be perfectly dry when taken from the trees and kept so until* stored away for keep ing over winter. - When picking use oval-shaped half-bushel baskets. 'ie basket may be kept on the arm or a high stool near by, or both: being carciul to put none Into the basket but sound, smooth fruit and of fair size. When the basket Is full carefully pour them in the bin, and when that Is full, or at night, cover with boards to keep olf the sun and rain. Continue the opera tion of picking duiLug dry weather un il done. Never cover the apples while In the orchard wIth straw. It makes them too warm, and there is no danger of the fruit being injured by the frost until'quiLte late in the season. They must Lie keyt dry and shaaedirotn the sun. To keep nicely a dry, airy, light cellar and scrupulously clean is absolutely neces sary. The siies and ceiling of the cellar should be cemented witu plaster to keep an even temperature of cold, and the bottom of the cellar cemented with waterproof cement to keep out the dampness. There should be one or mere windows on opposite sides of the cellar to give free circulation of air when needed. These should be o1 glass and supported by hinges at the top so that they may bu opened and shut as circumstances require. a SKIMMtNG MILK.-The wise man in enu zueratiug tie t,itnes and seasons made no mention of a time to skim milk,yet, neverthless, there is a time-a right Lime, too-and that is just as the milk begins to sour in the bottom of the pans. Then the cream Is all at the sur taco, and should at once be removed with ae little of the milk as possible. It allowed to reminau until the acid reaches the cream it impairs it in qua lity. The housewife or dairy mald who thinks to obtain a greater quality by allowing the milk to stand beyond that time labors under a most egregious mistake. ______ THEn RAISING of herses in the great, Yellow Stone Valley has become an important and profitable buisiniess. Some of these herders have from 500 to 1,500 each, and dispose of their three year old colts at from $50 to $500 per head. The animals feed on grass alone, and the only shelter afrorded from the weather is the roughly built sheds; still the animals thrive well, andi are, as a rule, more valuable than those bred elsewivhere. DnILLING WuicA.-Alany farmers are testing the practice of cultivating wheat. We hear of frequent experi menits in this dlirection, and these have generally turnedl out satisfactory. Cul tivating or hoeing is easily done by drilling tihe wheat in 16 inch rowvs by stoppling every alternate sprout. It Is not dilcuit to construct a simple culi vator that will work the space between the drills. Eating Enxough and To Much. Th'ie amount oi aouisument which a person needs greatly depends on his constitutIon, state of health, habits and wvork. A sedentary man requires less than one whose duties demand the cx ercise 01 his musoles,and a brain-work er uneeds nmore than an idiler. But un questionably, the majority of us take more than wve need. lnd~eed, food and work are distributed most unequally. TIhe man of' leisure Is also the man of means, and, accordingly fares sumpt cously every day; wile the laborer tolls b r eight hours, and finds it diffl cult enough to rep~aie the waste of' his tissues. Yct a Chinamnan or a Benge lee wvill toll undler tihe tropical sun and find a f'ew pice worth of rice or Jowrah aufilient to sustain hms strength. A Frenchman will not eat half what an Eeglishman engaged in the same wori5 wvill demand, and a Spanish laborer, content in ordinary times with a wa termelon and a bit of black bread, will toil in the vine-yards and grow fat on a dietary of onion porridge and grapes. It is true that Mr. Brassey,when build ing'-the Continental railways, found that one English navy was worth a couple of spare-fed foreigners. But, on the othier hand, the British Colum bian and Californian gold-diggers, thani whom a more magnificent set of athlets does not exist, live in the re mote mountaIns of the Far West main iy on beans flavo-ed with a few cubes of pork. But they also obtain the best of wvater and the purest of amr,and thei.: out-door life and active exercise, en able them to digest every ounce of their frugal fare. T1he English sol diers, tho ugh better fed thtan those of' any army except the American, do not get one-half the amount of solid nui ment which the idiest of club loungera considers indispensable for his susten ance. An athlete in training is allow ed even less food, yet lie prospers on the limited fare and prolongs his lime by the regimon Co which he has beenI subjected. King Victor Emmanuel was a mion~arch of the most roibust physique, yet hie only ate one meal per dJay, amnd is 1ms manifestly absurd for any mani to require three more or less weighty meals an afternoon cup of tea, to support the exertion of walking to tihe club, riding an hour in the park, wvriting a note or two, and dancing a couple of miles around a ball-room. The ancients had their "amethustol," or "sober stones," by which they roe u. iated their indulgence at table. 'he moderns have not even this.

It pure, the coffee will not sink for some minutes and will scarcely color the water, and when fully saturated,' if rubbed be. tween the fingers, the grain will feel rough and hard but, if chlokory be mixed with it, the ohlckory will sink to the bottom at once. rapidly absorb ing the water, like bread crumbs, and, as it sinks, It will give a dark-reddish tinge to the water. Take up some of these crumbs, and, instead of feeling rough and hard like the grains of pure coffee, they will rub soft and mash be tween your fingers like fine bread crumbs. CooLING WATE.-A simple contriv ance for cooling water has ueen Invent ed by M. Toselli of France. It is de scribed in Les Mondes, and consists of a cylindrical cup for holding any liquid into which may be plunged an inner goblet, shaped like an Inverted trun cated cone, and having a lid which rests on the outer cup. Putting 150 grammes of nitrate of ammonia in the Inner goblet, filling it with cold water, and stirring It so as to hasten the solu tion, the temperature of the outer liquid Is soon reduced to at least 12 degrees C., 22 degrees F. The salt may be used for an Indeilnite period by spreading it on a plate after each triaj, and ex posing it to the sua until It crystallizes anew. The inventor prepares a salt which will lower the temperature 28 degrees C. or 50 degrees F., in the warmest countries. Feeble Ladies.

An Instrument called the stathmo graph, for recording the speed of rail way trains, has been invented by a German mechanician at Cassel, and works so Well that the Prussian Gov ernment is about to test it on some of the State lines. A dial in view of the engineer enables him to ascertain the velocity of the locomotive at any mo ment, and the changes of speed are graphically represented upon a roll of paper, which can be studied at the end of the journey. An improved method of stopping engines, tays the Electrician, has recently been devised. The main ob ject of the device is to enable any child or unskilled person in any part of a mill to stop the engine in case of acci dent. The action is exceedingly sim ple. By touching a spring similar to the spring of an electric bell, an elec tric ball is set in motion. The ball drops and shuts one .of the valves, which pre vents the steanm fronm escaping, andathe engine is brought to a standstill.
