Manufacture of Mushrooms.

A "mushroom manufacturer is the
latest thing IN novelties, even in these
days when commercial license is often
carried to the utmost possible length.
An individual living in the department
of the Aveyron, France, struck by the
high price at which mushrooms were be-
ing sold in the district, conceived the
idea of fabricating the delicacy out OF
turnips He cut the turnips into rounds,
dried them, and after giving them dab
of the paint brush, disposed of them to
unsuspecting customers as the genuine
article. For some time he drove a
thriving trade, but, unluckily for him,
he one day sold batch to a gourmet who
was not SO easily taken in. Indignant at
the trick played on him, the gourmet
brought an action, which has just result
ed in the condemnation of the mushroom
manufacturer to two months imprison-
ment. It was in vain that he pleaded
that he had enabled his fellow citizens to
regale themselves on vegetable which
they regarded as good specimen of the
mushroom at cost far below that of the
real article. Vain, too, were his efforts
to demonstrate that his mushrooms could
be consumed without entailing disastrous
consequences on lovers of the delicacy.
The Govt turned a deaf ear to his
specious arguments, and has allowed him
two months leisure to mediate on the
error of substituting dried turnips for
honest mushrooms. VI

Country Roads.
Science.

Attention cannot be too frequently
drawn to 1.-THE Importance of good roads.
In cities, even, the pavements of the
streets are better index to the popular
taste and to public spirit than are the walls
of public buildings. In the country,
roads are the measure of public and pri-
vate enterprise. They favor or hinder
intercourse according as they are good or
bad, and upon intercourse depends to q
large extent the intelligence and refine
ment of a people.
The Romans knew we'll not only how
to conquer, but how to civiliZe and gov
ern. They were the road builders of
their time. There are miles and miles of
road bed still in use in England that was
laid down seventeen or eighteen hundred
years ago. In France they are older and
more extended. Along these lines have
grown up some of the largest and most
prosperous cities of the world. Through
many centuries, the thoroughfares fur
nished all the advantages of navigable
waters.
But the argument drawn from the
profit and loss account is the one most
effective in these days, and that is the
one which readers are likely to meet with
pretty often in our public prints. Sew
eral estimates made by experts upon
economic questions have been recently
published.
Professor Ely, of Johns Hopkins Uni
versity, reckons that "poor roads cost
the farmer, on an average, fifteen dollars
per horse"
Professor jerks, of Knox College, Illi-
nois, argues that with good permanent
roads freight could often be hauled ten
miles on wagons cheaper than it could be
taken one mile on dirt road to rail-
road station, unloaded, put on the cars,
and carried to its destination
These are the opinions of specialists
who have no doubt gone over a great
many columns of statistics in making up
their estimates. There is no practical
teamster who will not admit the reason
ableness of their conclusions The great
est obstacle, perhaps, to the improvement
desired arises from the circumstance that
there are as yet no really good roads in
this country, and from the other fact that
the science Of building roads has never
been studied by our people. [ Youths

where they will join with delegates from
all the other tribes of that great nation
aid go to the Black Hills, there to seek
out the Indian Messiah, or great medi-
cine chief, who is expected to restore the
Iudian to his former greatness and do
away with the white race entirely.
When told that this matter had been
investigated some time ago and that the
Sioux had sent runner to the Pacific
coast for the purpose of meeting the
messiah, old Bark-on-a-Tree said /:
"White man heap lie." On being ques-
toned slowly he said that the messiah
lived in the Black Hills, and could only
be seen under great difficulty. He must
be approached with great care and with
certain ceremonies, which were taught to
the old chiefs long ago. They have three
weeks leave of absence, and will 60 di-
rectly to Pine Ridge agency, and from
there to the home of the mysterious per-
sonage who is to deliver them Plea

THErExAN COWBOY.
His ilyRoutine, Bravery and Fond
ness for Fine Boots.

Cowboy life has in the last few years
lost much of its roughness. The cattle
barons have discharged most of the men
who drank, and have frowned so per-
sistently upon gambling that little Of it
is done. Cards and whlskey being put
away, there is small temptation to disor-
derly conduct; so it is only when they
reach some large city, and are not on
duty, that they indulge in a genuine
spree. On the ranches kept under fence
they have little to do when not on the
drive or in branding time, the cattle being
all safely enclosed. But they must take
their turns at line-riding, which means
close inspection of the fences, and the
repair of all breaks and damages. Where
night overtakes them, there they sleep,
stalking their horses, and rolling them
selves in their blankets. These rides of
inspection take days to accomplish, for
there are ranches in Texas which extend
in straight line over seventy-five miles.
Those ranches which are not kept under
fence necessitate more work. The boys
must then keep their cattle in sight, and
while allowing them to Craze in every
direction, must see that none in the many
thousands stray beyond the limits of their
own particular pastures They go then
in parties, scattering over the territory,
for they must cover hundreds of thou
sands of acres in day.
Il is not life of hardship, and pays
well enough. Everything is furnished
to them free and of the very best, and
they are paid besides thirty dollars per
month. Each party stays out from two
to three weeks at time; but they take
with them the finest of camp wagons,
with beds and bedding, cooking uten-
sils, the best of groceries of all kinds,
and as excellent cook as money can
employ. The pgairies are full of game,
and their rifles are ever handy. The life
is free, fascinating, and peculiarly
healthy. /,
These men are exceedingly chivalrous
to all women; this seems to be trait
born in them, as much part of their
moral nature as 1t is of their
physical to have small feet, for
| it is seldom that genuine Texas
| cowboy can be found who has not the
distinguishing mark of a handsome foot,
and his boots are to him all that the
sombrero is to Mexican. He will deny
himself many pleasures, he will go with
out coat, and be seen in most dilapi-
dated attire, but his boots must be of the
best and most beautiful make that the
country can afford; high of heel and
curved of instep, fine upper and thin
sole, fitting like glove, and showing
the handsome foot to perfection.
Take the cowboys as class, they are
bold, fearless, and generous, a warm
hearted and manly set, with nothing
small, vicious, nor mean about them, and
Texas need not be ashamed of the brave
and skilful riders who traverse the length
and breadth uf her expansive prairies.
