Seme Bright Person Who Knew Some thing About Plant Discovered That Dark Underground Chambers Were as Good as Cellars. New York.—"Do you see these?" remarked a man who raises mush rooms. as he pointed to a pile ol mushrooms. "Well. I happen to know that ’hose mushrooms came out of a coal mine in Pennsylvania. Seems funny, doesn't it. that mush rtoms and coal should come from the same place, but the fact is that quite a few mushrooms are taken out of the mine* now. Occasionally thev help to glut the market, too. Of course, as everybody knows, mushrooms are raised in cellars, and two essentials are a proper fertiliser arefully applied and an even tern . • rature. Some bright person who new something about mushrooms liscovered that when it came to grow ls them artificially the dark cham ■ • rs of a mine were as good as the rdinary cellar, and that you could -uise mushrooms at less cost in them. In the first place, the mules fur nished just the right kind of manure for not!.lag. and then the temperature f a mine is always even, so that it -t nothing to supply beat. There -re lots of places in the Pennsylvania ■oal mines which can be used for rowing mushrooms, and before long j lilne mushrooms are certain to be I tuite a factor is the market, I be- j ileve. "The largest part of New York’6 ! supply of mushrooms comes from j Pennsylvania anyway and some of the , arge growers are located in the coal rtgions. hence it Is not strange that the Idea of growing them in mines should be taken up there. "Nowadays the profit in raising mushrooms for the market is not what It uaed to be. Formerly the mushroom grower could easily get $1 a pound for them and was always ' sure of getting his crop taken as fast as it matured. Four thousands pounds of mushrooms might be called a fair crop for the man who makes a busi ness of growing them and as you can <;et a crop every six weeks with care | tul planning, you can see how prcfit j able It was then. "The number of mushroom raisers has Increased tremendously in the last few years, with the result that last seek, for example, you could buy the best mushrooms for 25 cents a pound. The mushroom market is uncertain, because It isn't regulated at all. There are no seasons for mushrooms and no combination of growers. Hence at limes the market is glutted with them, while st other times the amount brought in is small and the price goes ! op. "A tot of people have gone into mushroom farming with a view of Bup — SECURE STRENGTH IN SUGAR Doctors Prescribe Saccharine Pood as Heart Tonic, Wasting Disorders and Nervousness. Near York —Ever see a “randy girl with a weak heart or a candy kid that did not caper nimbly?” For the rea son why see the grave discussion in the medical periodicals summarized in the New York Medical Journal. The British Medical Journal began * the Inquiry In artl-les by Sir James Sawyer, who advocates the use of 1 sugar as a heart tonic. He prescribes it also in wasting disorders, some forms of anaemia, adynamic rheuma tism and nervous diseases. He finds patients increase in weight, power, strength and vigor, and in those of neurasthenic tendencies he finds that j the results are especially good. The patient Is advised to carry with him about half a pound of lump sugar and to eat it from time to time, ex cept just before a meal. Pure cane sugar should be used. The purity of the product is assured j if two lumps become luminous when j rubbed together in the dark. The carrying of half a pound of sugar may be useful to those who have difficulty in finding keyholes at night. Letter Sold for $25,000. Leipsic.

JS IN MINE f plying a few Eelect customers, such as the large restatrrants. I know a French waiter who today is making $5,000 a year out of what might be called a small mushroom farm. "AH the work in mushroom farming comes in starting your bed. and that isn't real hard work. After that all jou've got to do is see that it is kept at the proper temperature by means of the fertilixer. In six weeks you get your crop. "The mushroom market to some ex tent has been hurt by the plan adopt ed by some farmers of giving away mushrooms as a bonus to their cus tomers with the other produce. A lot I of truck farmers are raising mush ! rooms in their cellars just for this pur pose. "The Long Island farmers haven't taken up mushroom farming as a com mercial venture to any extent and most of the mushrooms brought here trom Long Island are natural ones. They are In a class by themselves and don't bring anything like as much as the artificial mushrooms. Most people are cfraid of the natural mushroom— the old fear of confounding it with a toadstool. I suppose. Anyway, you can't sell them like the others.” - ■ FLIPPED COIN FOR MILLIONS Men Buy Land Where Little Silver Piece Falls and Are Rewarded by Fortune in Oil. San Francisco.—Four thousand Bar rels of oil a day are gushing from an old oil field in the Bakersfield coun try that wss discovered through the flipping of a silver coin. The owners of the gusher are Clarence Berry. John D. Spreckles. Jr.; William Ma guire and Charles Holbrook, said to be worth millions. Recently offered an option on oil lands they were dubious about the prospect. "Which bit of land to buy we don’t know,” said Spreckles. "so let us to6s a coin and see where it falls. We’ll buy there.” The other agreed. A coin was spun high in the air. The place where it fell was marked out The property was acquired. Engineers were put to work. The first boring made was at the spot where the coin fe'L In less than a week oil began to spurt. Now the chief concern of the investors in the land is to supply enough barrels to take care of the gushing oil. Dog Has Gold Tooth. New York.—Dr. Fred Seibert, den tist. 135 Sherman avenue, is looking j for his first patient now missing from I home. The habits of this patient were not always of the best He drank beer and smoked cigarettes. The patient consented to allow the doctor to put in a front gold tooth while the doctor was a student. It was a long gold crown and made the pa tient the most aristocratic dog in its neighborhood. Pill THROUGH BOOT Removed From Calf of Man Af ter Nine Years’ Wandering. Californian Who Swallowed Tiny Piece of Steel Thought He Was Suffering From Liver Trouble, Rheumatism and Tuberculosis. Los Angeles, Cal.—The wanderings of Ulysses seem as nothing when com pared with those of a biack-headed steel pin which for nine years traveled erratically through the body of Fran cis McMann, constantly keeping his life in jeopardy, and which was re moved from the calf of his left leg at the county hospital. McMann, who is thirty-two years old, a native of Philadelphia, for some time thought he was bewitched by the vagaries of the pin. Nearly nine years ago. while in the Quaker city, he was asked to pin the back of a dress for his four-year-oUl j niece. He was handed several black ! headed pins for the purpose. As he was not an expert at the task Mc Mann put the pins in his mouth for safekeeping and in his eagerness to do well swallowed one of them. More than a year after swallowing the pin he was troubled with sharp pains in his back and, as poultices and plaster gave no relief, he consulted a physician, who told him he had liver trouble. As time elapsed the pains be came more erratic and McMann decld ed that he had rheumatism. Four years ago he became troubled with a sharp cough which caused his health j to decline rapidly. • He left Philadelphia and came to | Los Angeles, where he worked for the Maier Brewing company for a few months. The California air did not seem to benefit his cough and he ap plied for admission to the county hos pital. He was diagnosed as tubercu ! lar and admitted to the institution. Three years ago an X-ray was applied : to test the condition of his lungs. The 1 examination disclosed that the pin. j which McMann readily remembered to have swallowed, was lodged in his left lung and was causing serious trouble with that organ. It was found that an operation would be impossible and treatments were ap- | plied to alter the course of the pin, the I patient being kept continually In a re dining position upon his left side. About a year ago X-ray examina- ! tions showed that the pointed little In truder had altered Its course and was ! headed for the patient's heart. At one time it was located within half an inch of the heart's left ventricle and the life of McMann was despaired of. i ne pin. however, changed Us ‘‘schedule" and started in a downward direction. Its progress was anxiously watched and the physicians decided that when the traveler got below the diaphragm an operation could be per formed successfully. Three months ago it penetrated the diaphragm and lodged in the muscles of McMann's back, where the action of the muscles forced it rapidly down ward. It was observed that each day the pin was becoming farther removed from the vital organs and the all-im portant operation was delayed until conditions were most favorable. An examination recently disclosed the wanderer close to the surface in the muscles of the calf of the pa tient's left leg. whence it had traveled, closely following the bones of the limb. A simple operation was per formed and the pin. locking little the worse for wear, removed. HUNNEWELL’S WOMAN MAYOR MRS.

Put two tablespoonfuls of butter into a kettle with a sliced onion; let it brown; then put in three pounds of good round steak cut in half-inch pieces, season with salt, pepper and a pinch of cay enne; dredge well with flour. When brown, add a little boiling water, add ing more from time to time until the meat is tender. This is nice served with dumplings. French Stew.—Put a tablespoonful each of butter and flour in a kettle, ccok until brown; add a small minced onion and three pounds of veal, cut in pieces. Cover with a quart of water; add salt and pepper and cook slowly for two hours. Spiced Beef.—Season chapped steak with salt, pepper and spices; add two eggs, half a pint of crumbs, five ta blespconfuls of cream and a small piece of butter. Mix and bake into a roll with flour enough to bind to gether the ingredients. Bake in a but tered pan. Slice when cold. For a choice dinner dish, try Fillet a la Jardiniere. Lard a good-sized fillet with strips of salt pork on both sides of the fillet. In a roasting pan melt a large piece of butter and brown the fillet well on both sides; then add very slowly a cup of sour cream, and if needed, a little boiling water. Baste often; roast one hour. Serve on a large platter, garnished with different cooked vegetables in groups arranged around the fillet. * A most delicious ham Is prepared by some butchers, using the tender loin of the pork, salting, curing and smoking it as they do hams and shoulders Mock Duck.—Take a round of beef steak. season both sides with salt and pepper, spread seasoned breadcrumbs prepared as for stuffing on the meat; roll up and tie. Roast slowly until tender. Veal Leaf.—Take three pounds of raw veal, chopped fine, add a pound of salt pork, chopped as fine, season with salt, pepper and onion juice: a cup ful of breadcrumbs and three eggs well beaten. Mix well and pack in a buttered dish to bake. Bake at least an hour. HKRE is no scorn like that ut tered In silence. The shears give the most effective cut when they shut up.” NEW CAKE FILLINGS. One of the most delicious desserts Imaginable is prepared by using a lay er cake of angel food mixture about an inch thick and put together with a filling of sweetened whipped cream into which has been stirred a few chopped strawberries. Cover the top ■with the cream and a few berries cut in halves. Sweet Cream and Chocolate Filling. —Boil together a cup of sugar, a half cup of cream and a square of choco late. When a little dropped in water makes a ball, remove from the heat and beat until cool enough to spread. Raisin Filling.—Boll together a cup of sugar and five tablespoonfuls of hot water until thick, then pour It over a half cup of chopped raisins and a half cup of nuts. When cool spread between the layers. Prince Bickler.—Put a cup of sugar into a sauce pan and when melted pour over a cup of peanuts that have been slightly crushed with a rolling pin. When cold put this candy through a meat chopper, and stir it into a cup of whipped cream that has been flavored with vanilla. Delicious Cake Filling.—Chop and mix together a pound of seeded rais ins. three-fourths of a pound of figs and a pound of blanched almonds.

Flavor with vanilla and spread on the cake when coo!. Apple Filling.—Grate a sour apple, beat the white of an egg until stiff, add a half cup of powdered sugar and the grated apple very slowly. O FORTH and bless The world that needs the hand and heart Of Martha's helpful carefulness No less than Mary's better part. —Whittier. IDEAS FOR PICNICS. For picnic parties there is nothing that adds to the pleasure and lessens the labor like a tireless cooker. The coffee may be made at home and kept hot; the creamed chicken, baked. beans or chowder may be ready to serve with a little heating, and the Ices or frozen dishes are* all ready to serve without the fear that they may be melted. Almond Salad.—Stone and chop a dozen olives, add a cup of blanched and shredded almonds and a cup of celery, cut fine. Serve on lettuce leaves with mayonnaise. Temperance Punch.—This is a nice cold drink which will be welcome to picnicers. Upon a tablespoonful of good tea pour two quarts of water, boiling hot. In the meantime have ready the juice and peelings of three lemons and one orange in a pitcher. When the tea has steeped five min utes. strain into the pitcher. Add a cup of sugar and at serving time put plenty of ice in the glasses. Save the wafer boxes to pack the sandwiches in, wrap them in the waxed paper that may be saved from the same boxes. Little paper dishes | are now in the market that may be I used for salads and berries. The pa per plates make the baskets much more convenient to carry. When lemonade is liked the juice of the lemcns and a little water and( sugar may be boiled together, and this carried in a quart fruit jar. When wanted add tablespoonful or two to a glass of water. A delicious sandwich is made by using chopped cold cooked chicken and a fourth of the quantity of blanched chopped almonds, mixed to a > paste with cream. I the world that is equal to perfect health. The surest road to health. Say what the*- will. Is never to suppose we shall be ill; Most of the evils we poor mortals know. From doctors and imagination How. NEW WAYS WITH VEGETABLES. The English serve the cucumber whole, and each one peels, slices and dresses it to suit himself. The advan tage is that the vegetable is crisp and fresh. Did you ever slice the cucumber lengthwise instead of crosswise? The cook who served the vegetable so. said it avoided the hard seeds. Another nice way is to peel the cu cumber and slice it and lay the slices together in the original shape. Ar range on lettuce and serve chopped parsley in the dressing. This makes an attractive arrangement of a com monplace vegetable. The vegetable slicer is used by some to slice cucumbers, giving them the same form as latticed potatoes. A layer of sliced tomatoes overlap ping each other, with a cucumber ar ranged in the same way on a salad plate lined with lettuce Is a pretty way of serving those two vegetables ; together. Summery Dishes. A cabbage salad may be taken from ! the commonplace to the unusual by ! the addition of a shredded green pep per. a handful of almonds and a diced apple. Green Peppers and Tomato Sauce.— Cut up two quarts of fresh tomatoes, add a teaspocnful of salt, and cook for half an hour; strain. There should be a pint or more. In a casserole (a stone covered dishl put half a cup of olive oil. adding, when smoking hot. two cloves of garlic, finely minced. Fry these until brown. Now add the | strained tomatoes, a tablespoonful of ■ minced parsley and a bay leaf. Boil ten minutes. Cut in strips ten green peppers, removing the seeds, and add to the sauce. Cook slowly half an hour. Serve hot. Salmon salad Is improved by the ad dition of a chopped pickle ani a few tablespoonfuls of freshly-grated cocoa nut. Stuffed green peppers are a most ap»»etizing dish. The stuffing may be any mixture, chicken, ham or other meats and seasoning. A Scriptural Injunction. “Yes, sir," said Dobbleigh. “horses are ruining my brother Tom. He's crazy about them. Just paid J3.000 for a span of trotters." "Well. 1 don't know,” said Billups “How about yourself? What did you pay for that touring car of yours?” “Five thousand dollars.” said Dobb leigh. “But what—” "Well, you'd better not criticize the team in your brother's eye until you have cast out the motor that is in your own eye.” retorted Billups.—Har per’s Weekly. Progress of Cremation. Cremation is making steady pro gress in Europe, in some countries faster than in others. Germany has 20 crematories. Over 23,000 bodies have been cremated there, as com pared with 8.121 in England and Scotland. In Switrerland, where there are five crematories, the number of cremations is proportionally several times as many as in Great Britain. Over 94.000 bodies have been cremat ed in Paris during the last 20 years. Effect of Imagination. A man condemned to death was promised that if he would spend the night in bed in which a cholera patient had died and survived the experiment, his freedom would be given him. He ■pent the night In the bed and died ,tbe next day. But no patient, had ever died In the bed. and the effect on the Imagination and nerves of the con demned man really caused his death. Old Beliefs Rudely Disturbed. . The old teachings of China and In dia established the belief in Japan that it was best that women be not no ticed by others, that their duties were wholly domestic, and that appearing out of doors was unbecoming a faith ful wife or dutiful daughter. Garden parties, dinner parties, balls and so cial calls are new importations from the west. Dally Thought. There Is nothing so easy but that it difficult when you do it with reluctance.—Terence. WESTERN CANADA BEYOND THE PIONEER STAGE Liberty-Loving People Have All the „ Liberty the Heart Can Desire Under Canadian Laws. The New York Commercial of April 19th contained an interesting article on conditions in Western Canada. The following extracts will prove instruc tive reading to those who contem plate moving to Canada. The writer speaks of land at $8 to $18 an acre. As a matter of fact, there is very little land that can be had now at less, than $18 per acre, but when one considers the productive quali'-les of this land it is safe to say that in two years’ time there will be little avail able land to be had at less than $30 an acre. Already the free grant lands in the open prairie districts | are becoming exhausted and the : homesteader has to go farther back I to the partially wooded areas. This ' is no drawback, however. Some pre fer this land to the open prairie. A recent publication, issued by the De partment of the Interior, Ottawa, 1 Canada, and which is forwarded free | to applicants by mail by any of j the Canadian government agents ! throughout the United States, says • ot the newly-opened districts: Water is always abundant, wood and fuel are plentiful and the soil that can grow the poplar and the willow as well as the rich grasses that are i to be found there can be relied upon j to produce all the small varieties of | grain with equal success. The New | York Commercial article referred to ( deals more particularly with condi tions along the line of the Grand Trunk Pacific, but what is said of one line of railway may with truth be -said of the land and the conditions along both the Canadian Northern and the Canadian Pacific. The article ! says: “It would be no exaggeration to say that practically all the land along j the entire distance traversed by the | Grand Trunk Pacific system is capa ble of furnishing homes to those who engage in farming. The lands are of three classes. They may be desig ! nated, first, as having special adap i tation to the production of grain; ! second, as having such adaptation to , mixed farming, of which live stock | will form an important feature, and third, as being mainly adapted to the production of live stock only. On the third class of lands the area is not very large, '<t the second it is much larger anu of the first it is by far the largest. As soon as mixed farming shall j be generally adopted, land that may now be obtained for from $S to $18 per acre, and even lands open now to free homesteads, will sell for $50 to $100 per acre. This is not an ex j travagant statement. In natural fer tility these lands fully equal thbse of the American corn belt. In vari ety of production they excel them, and yet the latter sell for $100 to $200 per acre. In addition to the grain crops now grown of wheat, oats, barley and rye, much of the land will grow winter wheat when properly prepared. Eighty per cent, of the j land will grow clover and alfalfa. A j still larger percentage will grow field I peas, and the entire tillable area will | grow good crops of the cultivated 1 grasses, timothy, brome grass and western rye grass. With these ele | ments what can prevent this region i from becoming the main source of ! food supply of the Empire and Im j pc rial dominions?” Special stress is laid upon the edu j cational conditions. The writer says: “The foundation of the social fabric of the agricultural country may be i said to rest on the efficiency of its j school system. Liberty-loving peo ple have all the liberty the heart can desire under Canadian laws. In this regard Western Canada has a system of education based upon the best that can be obtained from the United States or Eastern Canada. Its school system and regulations are second to none. Every boy or girl has a school house brought to his or her doorway. The government is most liberal in its support of higher education. In Win ; nipcg. Saskatoon and Edmonton are to bo found excellent colleges and uni versities, so that the problem of higher education is solved. The pro vincial agricultural schools, located at Winnipeg and Saskatoon, give practical courses in scientific farm ing, preparing graduates to take up the responsibilities of farm life. "The newcomer settling in this favored section will find the social conditions )ar beyond a pioneer stage. He will find helps on every hand. In stead of his going to the ‘jumping-ofl place,' as is often supposed when thinking of Western Canada, he will find himself surrounded by wonderful opportunities for social advancement in a new country fraught with prom ise.” _ Flattery is praise we hear of others.
