ITO BE Continued


Some few days ago Pere Didon and the
provincial Of his order, Pere Chocarne,
happened to meet M. de Falloux at a
dinner-table in Paris, and the three had a
long conversation together. The sermons
recently delivered by the Dominican soon
came under discussion; a report, indeed,
having got about that the diocesan au-
thorities, rather disquieted by the temer-
ity of the preacher, were thinking of re-
questing him afresh to observe greater
moderation in his discourses. The rev.
erend father displayed great Difference
for his ecclesiastical superiors, though he
did not seem inclined to yield an inch,
appearing convir ced that his plans meri-
ted support rather than opposition.
"But what queer sort Of audience
you gather together" remarked a gentle
man present.
"Ohl as to that" struck in M. de Fal-
loux, "just let me tell you an anecdote
about 1acordaire. One day an enthusi-
astic Catholic paid the great orator a
visit and said: We'll, Father, the audi.
ence you get together is perfectly scan.
dalous. Some Of the people are sucking
oranges, some read the papers, and Others
interchange gossip. You must effect an
alteration in all this But what do
you do yourselfT inquired Lacordaire.
4 tell my beads as ought to do re-
sponded the devout Catholic. We'll,
them retorted Lacordaire, 4 may as
we'll inform you at once that I preach
for those who suck oranges in church,
and not for good people like your
SELF" -.4 ~.
Pere Didon could not refrain from a
smile at the conclusion of the story, on
which M. De Falloux turned to him and
remarked: "You are quite right to smile,
Father, for your own sermons are in
tended for the orange-eaters. Like La
cordaire, too, you no doubt bear with you
to the pulpit the regard for truth which
animated the great restorer of your Or
der. Before as after his discourses he
was always afraid of not adequately serv.
ing the cause of truth. After he had
delivered one of his eloquent harangues
his first thought and query was whether
any expression or gesture he had used
would have been better omitted. He al
ways deemed too pronounced senti
ment as fault, and people who knew
him well were charmed with the delicacy
and liberation Lacordaire displayed. A.
the result observe the number of eplu
cheurs of oranges who heard and then
became his earnest disciples"

Yesterday old Joe Hemlock, one of the

Yosemite Creek Glacier.

Tho broad many-fountained glacier
to which the basin Of Yosemite creek
belonged was about fourteen miles in
length by four in width, and in many
places was not less than a thousand
feet In depth. Its principal tributaries
Issued from lofty amphitheatres laid
well back among the northern spnrs of
the Hoffman range. These at first pur-
sued a westerly course; then, uniting
with each other and absorbing a series
of small affluents, from the Tuolumne,
divided the trunk thus formed, swept
round to the south In magnificent
curve, and poured It's ice into Yosemite
In cascades two miles wide. This broad
glacier formed a kind Of wrinkled ice
cloud. AS it grew older, it became
more regular and river-likc encircling
peaks overshadowed Its upper foun-
,ains, rock islets rosc at intervals
among its shall lowing currents, and It's
bright sculptured banks, nowhere
overflowed, extended In massive sim
plicity all the way to its mouth. AS
the Ice winter drew near a close, the
main trunk, becoming torpid, at length
wholly disappeared III the sun, and 4
waiting multitude Of plants and AMI
mails enter the new valley to lnhabit
the mansions prepared for them. In
the meantime the chief tributaries,
creeping slowly back into the shelter
OF their fountain shadows, continued
tol live and work independently, spread
ing moraine soil for gardens, scooping
basins for lakclcts, and lelsurely COM
pleting the sculpture Of their fountains.
These also have at last vanished, and
the whole basin is now full of light
Forests flourish luxuriantly over all
Its broad moraines, lakes and meadows
nestle among its domes, and a thousand
Aowcry gardens are outspread along
It's streams. When we walk the path
ways Of the Yosemite glaciers and
contemplate their separate works. the
mountains they have shaped, the can
ons they have furrowed, tho rocks they
have worn. and overwhelmed as at
first with it's uncomparcd magnitude,
we ask, Is this all2 wondering that so
mighty a concentration of energy did
not find yet grandcr expression.

Eating Enough and 10 Much

Ihe amount OF nourisument which a
person needs greatly depends on his
constitution, state Of health, habits and
work. a sedentary man requires less
than one whose duties demand the ex-
ercise OF his muscles, and a braln-work-
er needs moro than an idler. But un-
questionably, the majority Of us take
more than we need. Indeed, food and
work are distributed most unequaliy.
The man Of leisure is also the man of
means, and, accordingly fares snmpt-
aousl y every day; while the laborer
tolls Tor eight hours, and finds it diff
cult enough to repair che waste of his
tissues. Yet a Chinaman or a Benge-
lee will toll under the tropical sun and
find few pice worth Of rice or jowrah
sufficient to sustain his strength. A
Frencnman will not eat half what an
Englishman engaged in the same work
will demand, and a Spanish laborer,
content In ordinary times with O wa.
termelon and bit OF black bread, will
toll In the vineyards and grow fat on
dietary ofonion porridge and grapes.
1t 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 Other hand, the British Colum-
bian and Californian gold. .diggers,
than whom more magnificent set of
athlets does not exist, live In the re-
mote mountains of the Far West main
ly on beans favored with few cubes
of pork. But they also obtain the best
Of water and the purest of air and thei1
outdoor life and active exercise, en-
able them to digest every ounce Of
their frugal fare. The English SOL
dters, though better fed than those of
any army except the American, do not
get one-half the amount Of solid nutri-
ment which the idlest Of club loungers
considers indispensable for his susten-
ance. An athlete In training Is allow
cd even less food, yet he prOspers on
| the limited fare and prolongs his lite
by the regimen to which he has been
subjected. King Victor Emmanuel
was monarch Of tho most robust
| physique, yet he only ate ono meal per
day, and 1t Is manifestiy absurd for
any man to require three moro or less
weighty meals an afternoon cup of tea,
to support the exertlon Of walking to
the club, riding an hour in the park,
writing note or two, and dancing q
couple OF miles around ballroom.
The ancients had their "amethustoi,
or ''sober stoncs," by which they regu.
lated their indulgence at table. the
moderns have not even this. But thoy
have their gout and their livers to warn
them, when 1t is too late, that nature
has been overtasked.

Birds as q ISenefactor.

tho crops of the United States to the
value Of $4,000, 900 annually, and it is

Ing tho destruction Of birds. Our hus-

mics, and lose directly and severely by
so doing. We always feel like choking

Considerable intereau is being ma,

Considerable intcresy is being mani.
tested In this country ON the cultiva-
tion Of mushrooms. One editor Of q
leading journal has fitted up case near
Glen Cove, l.. l., at cost OF So, 600 for
the purpose. The spawn used in the
United States Is that obtained at the
iced stores, In the shape of bricks. The
bricks are broken into pieces the size of
hickory nuts, and placed in holes made
by dibble, some six inches apart each
way. In three or four weeks the spawn
will have covered the bed, and in u few
weeks the mushrooms will be large
enough to pick, and the beds will last
from tour 10 six months. The industry
is one 10 which there is 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 quarrios under the
suburbs of Paris, and at other places in
France. In tho DEPARTMENT. OF the Seine
alone, In which Paris Is situated, are
parts OF which are used by some 250
growers, producing, on an estimate,
twenty-five tons OF mushrooms daily,
Or to the value OF 50 900, 900 per annum.
The cultivation OF the mushroom in
these caves, Is all 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 $50 feet below the
surface and are entered trough pit holes
by climbing down a ladder made by
thrusting rounds through pole fixed
upright. at the bottom Of these pits
or entrances the passages radiate in
different directions to the caves. AT
convenient points piles Of manure and
stftings from the debris OF the stone
cuttings are piled and undergo prepara-
ton for the beds. When in proper
condition, the beds--some twenty
inches In depth-are placed in rows all
over the bottom or the cave, with just
narrow passage between to facilitate
the work Of gathering. New beds are
continually In preparation to take the
place OF the exhausted ones, and the
cropping goes OH uninterruptedly. The
general practice in obtaining spawn is
to use so much of I'm entire fresh bed
when 1t begins to show the growth, as
Is necessary each day, which gives q
product several days earlier than when
the dry dorm mt 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 OF tcmpera-
lures are guarded against by trap-doors.
The mushrooms are gathered daily at
very early hour in the morning, when
the mushrooms large enough tor use
are seized and given a slight twist to
clear them from contact with any others
not iully grown, and removed with the
roots entire.
