FACTS ABOUT TRUFFLES.
A Species of Earth Fungi In Great Favor
With the Gourmet

A Species of Earth Fungi In Great Favor
With the Gourmet.
Truffles. that are a popular dish in the
Old World, and are often served at
high-cut spreads in this country, are,
like mushrooms, a spices of earth
fungi. They are cryptogamic plants,
and subterranean in their habits, their
position beneath the soil varying from
two OF three inches to two feet in depth.
They have no root stem or leaf, and
are of different shades of color. from
light-brown to black. They are more
or less globular in form, and vary in
size from that of filbert to that of a
large ducks egg. Their surface is
knotty or warty and covered with a
skin, which forms sort of network of
serpentine veins
The exact method of their production
seems as yet scarcely well ascertained.
Pliny considered the trUffle as an ex-
crescence of the earth, which is scarce
ly scientific explanation; while Plu-
tarch attributed its formation to the
com bined action of thunder, heat and
damp, prod ucing Jumps in the earth
similar to tuberous swelling in the hu-
man frame. They are found in most
temperate parts Of the world, and are
fairly common in Central and Southern
Europe, particularly in France, where
the Potion and PerigOrd districts are
most prolific, and in Italy, where Pied
mont carries off the palm. Algeria also
contributes large quantity. They re-
found in various parts of the southern
districts of England. but they are by no
means so common "a they once were.
In Germany the common t-ufile is
called the black truflle, and the name
of white truffie is given to the RhtzO-
phdgOH Album, a species of the nearly
allied genus 1t grows half above
ground, is of whitish-red color and
about the size OF a walnut It is less
aromatic than the common trufie-
The French trnffies are decided ly SUI
parior - those of any other country,
but they vary ia f. ----l'
cality. In the northeast of France they
are grayish in color and nearly taste
less: further south. in the Isere and the
Gard, they have musty taste. which
is stronger in those grown in Savoy; In
burgundy they are smaller, dry, and
have a flavor of resin; but the Quercy or
Perigord truffie-somewhat angular in
form, firm, and marked with yellowish
streaks-is the kind dear to gourH'ets.
The Perigord pie is famous throughout
the civilized world, and without the
subtitle flavor impaired by the presence
of the Perigord tuber the pate de foe

value. In some parts OF TRANSCRIPTION

sAs goes Maine, so goes the Union"
and the grand old State has not gone
more generally in the fright direction
since the celebrated event with Gov
ernor Kent Reed is reelected by
about double his plurality and majority
of two years ago, and the plurality on
the Republican State ticket is also
largely increased, Even the Democrats
of the .'old Pine Tree State seem TO
have been imbued with a desire to
make Reeds election unanimous! The
result is grandly inspiring to Republic
ans of every State in the Union. Fol-
lowing the old-time precedent, If good
work is done. the Republicans will
elect a majority of the next House and
thus be able to complete all the neces-
sary important business legislation TO
insure continued prosperity for the next
hundred years Maine is all right,
Reed is all right. and the continued
supremacy of Republieanism is insured.
Now for an unending active effort on
the part of every Republican in Iowa

packing-houses. one of the largest es-
adjustments at the stock yards, took
fire about 2:30 a. m. Sunday, and at mid
night the ruins were still blazing.
The firemen worked against obstacles
from the start Water had little effect
on the grease-soaked floors, and the fire
soon reached the tank-room, where
thirty-two tanks of lard were located.
These exploded one after another with
loud reports and the boiling lard burned
fiercely. The heat was so intense the
firemen were compelled to work at a
distance. The flames spread to the
cooling. room and commenced burning
the care asses of the hogs hanging there.
In the room were 1853 hogs and they
burned like oil. The roof fell in about
an hour after the fire started and the
conflagration became more furions. The
west wall of the packing-house fell soon
after the roof went down. At 4
o'clock a. m. the fire was under control.
1t was seen to be impossible to extin-
guish the burning pork and water was
thrown on it to keep the fire down as
much as possible. 1t was that which
kept the firemen at work all of Sunday
and it is still burning.
The buildings destroyed were begun
in 1872, and have been added to from
time TO time since The entire plant, in
GLIDING buildings, machinery, fixtures,
etc, have cost about ST, $780, 900. 1t is
carried on the books of the company,
now, however, at about half that figure.
About 1000 men and girls were en-
ployed by tho company. The girls
were employed in sewing hams, trim
ming meat and other light work.
Mr.. Fowler estimates his loss as fol-

twenty tanks of lard, the meat and
hams and other products. $4,000, max

a Good Example for Politicians in Gen

Good Example for Politicians in Gem
eral to Study,
There are those who shake their
heads when Reeds name is mentioned
and say thai he is a clever fellow, but
too impetous and too audacious.- That
is not what the majority of his country
men think about him, however. They
are particularly pleased with those
traits of his character which are most
troublesome TO his enemies. His brave
and self-reliant conduct in the Speakers
chair has won their applause in a de-
gree seldom given to any public man.
He had trying emergency to meet
and he met it in the spirit which sui ted
them. They have not been misled as
to the facts, or deceived as to the real
issue. All the bowling of the Demo
cratic orators has not in the least mod
Grated their liking for the man who
has calmly and firmly done work
that needed to be done, and that will
never have to be done again. They I'M
derstand that they are indebted to him
for the Inauguration of a policy that will
hereafter prevent the defeat of neces-
sary legislation by fiIibustering. The
cedent, in the interest of sound and
practical government, and he estab-
lished it. ''If you set out to take
Vienna, take Vienna" was the advice
once given by Napoleon. That has been
Reeds theory of action. The idea of
failure has not entered into his plans
and expectations. There was certain
point for him to make, and he made it.
In the expressive slang of the period,
he got there; and popular favor is al
ways sure to reward the man who thus
courageously accomplishes a worthy
and beneficial purpose. The lesson is
a good one for polite ians in general to
study. They can not all hope to equal
Reed in brilliant and popular service,
but they can at least learn from his sue
cess what the people like, and strive to
initiate his example as far as opportun-

inducing English capitalists to invest
in timber lands lying thirty miles each

large number who were willing to put
money into the scheme as soon as few
obstacles can be overcome. The scheme
is to bring over English colonies to
farm the lands, which are rich. Hard
wood timber covers the land, and will
be manufactured. 1t is anticipated
several million dollars will be forth
