Philippines.

REVIEWING Mr.. Jagor's work on the
Philippine Islands, a writer says Of the
women: "Their large, dark, black eyes,
the luxuriant wealth of their black hair,
seem in some cases to have impressed him
not a little. Not only are they, moreover,
beautifully formed, but their dress is very
becoming. The upper part of their bod
les is clad in a homespun, but often costly
material of transparent whiteness, and
from their waist downward they are
wrapped in a brightly striped cloth saga,
which falls in broad folds, and which, as
far as the knee, is so tightly compressed
with dark shawl (t0pGs), closely drawn
around the figure, that the rich, varie-
gated folds of the saga burst out be-
meath it, remarks the enthusiastic Dir.
Jagor, like the blossoms of a pomegran-
ate Their naked feet are covered by
embroidered slippers of such small size
that their little toes protrude for want of
room and grasp the outside of their san
dali AS for the men, they are neither

makes them look very like our agricult-

wear shirt; these and a round piece of

poorer classes. But you should see a Ma

Patent-leather shoes are on his naked feet,

Poison In Their Boots.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Oreville Butte
County, CALI Mercury makes the horrify-
ing assertion that the gum boots 50 uni
versally worn by gravel-miners in Cali
fornia and elsewhere have latterIy been
lined with green flannel, the dye of which
Is arSenicated, and which has poisoned
many persons, some fatally. The CORE
spondent gives specific instance of this
kind of poisoning, stating that Mr.. Nc
Klary, who lives on Canes Creek, near
Enterprise, has been suffering for several
months from the use Of these arsenicatcd
boots, and that but for a skillful physician
and attentive wife heWould have died. He
further alleges that &C three more cases are
under treatment in this neighborhood
(SOuth Fork Feather River) and a num-
Der gone to the hospitals, trying to find
better care than in their lonely cabins"
This account is given of the appearance Of
the disease produced by wearing the
poisoned boots: The first symptoms are
the swelling OF the lower eXtremities to two
or three times the usual size and then the
flesh turns black The suffering of the
patient is terrible, under a constant bum.
ing sensation until death relieves him.
1t is stated that the complaint is almost
universal wherever the green-lined boots
have been used, and reference is made to
a company of Chinese, among whom sew
eral deaths occurred last year, then at
tributed to an epidemic, but now traced to
the boots.

Odd Industries.

ONE of the myriad single industries
pursued by the ingenious Parisiars is
that Of fattening snails for the market.
That the demand for this article of diet is
is large is proved by the fact that great
number of persons find profitable employ
ment in furnishing an adequate supply.
Most snail breeders who carry ON their
business outside " the BARRIERS ofParis fat
ten the mol1uscs in tanks, butsome prefer to
keep the creatures in the open air. The pre-
serve in which snails are fed is divided
into eight or ten separate Enclosures, each
of which is surrounded by line of saw
dust four inches broad, and freshly laid
each morning. This simple hedge is an
efectual barrier to the passage of any
Helix tempted to indulge vagabond pro
pensities and stray beyond the boundaries
of its allotted precincts.
Each daily consignment of snails is de-
posted in one of the parks or Enclosures
and left to fast for forty light hours. Aft
er this they are removed to another park,
where they are provided with an album
dance of food, consisting of cabbages, let
tUce, endives, thyme and vine leaves
Purified by their prolonged fast, the snails
eat with voracity, and in eight or ten days
are fat enough to satisfy the eye and taste
OF Partisan epicure. The tax upon
fatted snails is very small, but it is est
mated that, were the levy to be raised to
OnQ-nUartQr of fh at ar1S
fifty snails to be counted as worth one
dozen bivalves, the revenue annually arts
ing from their consumption in Paris would
amount to 100000 francs
1t is stated that diet of snails reduces
mans flesh until he becomes a mere
skeleton. The edible snail of the Gold
Coast has a she'll three inches long by
two inches deep. From this he protrudes
pair of tentacles four inches in length.
These tentacles are the choice part of the
animal, and are served whole in that
savory compound called snail soup.
Shrimp fishing is also an extensive in
dustry in France, and is mostly pursued
by women. The fishers wade knee-deep

around hoop and fastened to the end of
pole by means Of a cross-piece. A bag
tied around the waist receives the animals
as they are caught. In winter the shrimpre-
tires to deeper water, and is there captured
in nets drawn by boats. These nets are
now made of galvanized wire, which re-

ing they grasp their prey by the short,
rake like appendices between the claws
proper and the tail, and pass it along up
to the claws, and so on to the mouth.
The choice between shrimps and snails as
food is a mere matter of taste Many
persons who partake of the one reject the
other with lOathing, but there seems in
fact no reason why both are not as clearly
and wholesome as the oyster.-CHGcGg0

Out in Virginia City, New, they give
the boys giant-powder caps to play with
when other toys fail of novelty. The
giant-powder cap is a percussion affair
used in blasting, and when it goes off
makes great deal of noise, not unfre-
quently attended with displacement of
surrounding objects. One of the Virginia
City boys took a giant powder cap to
school the other day, inspired possibly
with the idea that in place where the
young idea was taught how to shoot the
cap would not be out of place. During
school hours he pulled out his knife and
endeavored to find out what the cap was
made of, and was eminently successful in
the effort At the first dig of the knife
there was tremendous explosion, and the
boy jumped up with two fingers and
thumb gone. 1t spattered blood every
where, and the schOolma'am went off into
Mysteries, while the Drawer boys picked
finger nails and small particles of boy
from the pages of their open books. Now
boys are forbidden to bring giant-poWder
caps into the Virginia school-rooms.

Mushroom Caves.

THE famous mushroom caves of Paris
are in reality deserted stone-quarries in
the suburbs of the city. They are entered
by shafts, and consist Of a series Of dark,
low, long corridors Their floors are COW
cred with long lines of narrow beds, made
Of rich compost of earth and horsema-
nre. The paths between the beds are
kept scrupulously clean, and the mush-
rooms are carefully cultured. One of
these caves at Montrouge, just outside the
Notifications Of Paris, contains seven
miles of beds and yields an. average Of
800 pounds Of mushrooms daily.
Near Frepillon, an hours ride from
Paris, there is another class Of caves or
old quarries that have a lofty interior,
with something of the aspect of vast
cathedral. In 1867 one of these caves had
run of twenty-one miles of mushroom
beds. During that same year over 5000
pounds Of mushrooms were daily sent to
Paris from Frepillon. The crops vary
according to certain atmospheric and 9th
er conditions, and at intervals the great
quarries refuse to yield profitable crop.
They are then thoroughly cleansed, the
very soil being scraped out and are left to
lie fallOw for year or two. .-.,.-,
