1t is as supplying stores of nutritive
matter and thus forming n most inn
portant, excellent, delicate food supply
that toadstools are of most value. Al
most everything contributes to the
arts, but food supply is limited to di-
gestible things. To the inha bitants of
many nations toadstools-in their edi-
bic capacity-are most important. The
Russians pay particular attention to
their economy and cooking. The Ital-
ianpeasants regard toadstools rs among
their greatest blessings. In England
all of their edible varieties are eagerly
sought after; tons daily find their way
from wood and field to the markets of
towns and cities and the great manu-
factories of sauces and pickles. Every
where in Europe they are dried for
winter use. In France, especially,
much attention is paid to the cultiva-
ton of the toadstool of commerce, and
il constitutes an enormous industry.
Ten thousand tons are annually pro-
duced by one cultivator. In October
of 1885 the writer saw the outlying
commons of Boston, New York. Brook
lyn and Philadelphia covered with men,
women, and children gathering the
prolific and delicate agaricus comatus
(coprinus) by huge basketfuls for the
use of hotels, clubs, and privatcs fami-
lies. Until within a very few wears
this same coprinus was classed among
poisonous toadstools. - Lippincoet's

Slavery I'm Brazil.

Slavery had more of ratson d'etre in
Brazil than it had in the United States,
says j. c. in the Salt Lake Herald
Africa and Brazil are comparatively
near, and are alike in climate. The
latter being ut a great distance from
Europe, 1t was more necessary for her
than 1t was for the American colonies
to draw her supplies of labor from her
neighbor. There We're no horrors of
the slave trade while the slave trade
was permitted. 1t was for the inter-
est of the carriers to make the passage
OF the negroes rs comfortable rs the
method ventilation then known and
the supply of wholesome food would
permit 1t was only when the trade
was declared contraband that the yes-
sells were ovcrcrowded, and rs the risk
was understood TO be the loss of half
OF the ships. the poor devils were more
closely confined. Under the old sys-
tenn cargoes were landed in such good
order that the slaves seemed to have
actually enjoyed their trip. Under the
Illicit proceeding | once saw three
tourths of cargo brought into an out
port in q wretched condition, and the
captain-he was an American. who
afterwards became merchant in New
1ork-told me that he had made a very
successful voyage, as he had fed only
one-fourth of his passengers to the
sharks.
Curiously, the negroes themselves
have been among the principal slave
owners of Brazil. There are neslccs
and negroes. One class came from a
locality in the gulf of Benin. They are
different from the Congocs and other
debased tribes. The men are of stall
wart frames and intelligent minds: the
women of pleasing countenance with
figures like n Venus de Medici in ebony,
and they walk even under their burdens,
like queens. Prof. Agassiz once said
to me ut Rio dc Janeiro: The Nina
negress is the finest specimen of n
natural woman that have ever seem"
The people of this tribe were first
brought over as slaves, but they soon
came to be slaye-owners. They be-
came also ship-owners and merchants,
and drove lucrative trade with
Africa in negroes and in merchandise.
They have crossed with the Portuguese
blood, as all the other negroes have
done; but the Nina cross is by far the
best, and it can scarcely be considered
deterioration. This miscegenation
has gone so far that many years ago
when 1t was proposed, in taking the
census of the empire, to classify the
whites and blacks it was found inn
possible to determine the color line.

The homes of many coal-miners in
Pennsylvania are said to be dirty, and
no larger than ordinary goat-sheds, so
poyerty-stricken are the laborers.
Most miners in Pennsylvania coal
regions are foreigners, and are pro-
nounced to be specimens of the lowest
types of humanity. Women and
children are subjected To barbarous
cruelty by those aequaintances whom
they number rs friends.
The children born in the mining
regions either grow up TO be criminals
and assassins or are killed before they
grow up by their drunken fathers and
brothers. The Pennsylvania laws pro-
vide fair schools for them, but their
parents are SO poor that they can't
send their offspring to them.
Miners are never paid for their SER
vices in cash. The companies they
work for own all the stores and houses,
and their employees are compelled to
buy ut the prices the capitalists Tx.
These estimates are usually extortion-
ate. The food furnished is the poorest,
but the poor miners are unable to re-
move to another place, rs the checks in
which they are paid are good only ut
their employers stores.

MIR. Corliss, not very long before his
death, had occasion to build an adj
dltlon to his manufaetory-a big IL"

the foundation for this l. it was neces-
sary to remore ledge of rock by
blasting. The men to do the work on
the addition had been employed and
put on the payroll; the material had
been purchased and brought to the
building, and the work of Blasting had
begun. Next morning Mr.. Corliss
passed by the place where work was

Berry Names.

strawberry "A fruit. The word
is made up of "straw" and "berry."
The Aryan root Of straw is star, which
means to strew-the star being a
strewer of light. By the time the Ar
yam root has passed through several
changes in passing from Asia to the
Anglo-Saxon land it has become strae.
Straw is corruption of strae. which
means to stray. The strawberry is a

ality, but owing to he corruption no.

and strawberry are both from the
same Aryan word. Both are beautiful.

and in Gothic, bias, the same as in the
older tongue, the Sanskrit. The seasa

and Just as the former struck a match
to light his cigar cannon-ball whizzed
