Eating Gala Roots.

A new vegetable is about to be intro
duced to the people Of the United States
through the Department of Agriculture
1t is the root Of the sacca lily, which re-
sembles somewhat in appearance the or
binary Irish tuber, with the addition Of
q few whiskors that have nothing to do
with the quality Of the article as an escu-
lent. It is more elongated, and when
cut the interior is trife more viscid.
But section Of it is so potato-like you
would not be likely to distinguish any
difference. In cooking it has first to be
boiled in order to destroy certain acrid
properties, after which it may be fried,
roasted, baked, or what not, according to
taste.
Farmers in Florida have begun to raise
these Gala roots for market. The plants
grow readily in swamps, and SO thickly
that the yield Of q single flooded acre is
enormous. They reproduce themselves
by the multiplication Of their bulbs
under ground, so that the grower has
simply to dig up tho offshots and leave
the parents to propagate anew. For
centuries the Egyptians have cultivated
similar crop during the season Of the
Nile overflow, and at the present time
Gala lily buds are common vegetable
in Japanese markets. So prolific and
palatable are they that their propaga-
ton in many parts Of the United States
where conditions are favorable may rea-
sonably be looked forward to as an agri-
cultural industry Of the future Port.

Fish Within Fish.

Robert E. Lester Of Barlow says he
went out fishing the other day, put q
worm on the hook and cast it into the
waters of the Great Williams Swamp.
Soon minnow caught, then q Yarmouth
perch caught the minnow, and, before he
could take them out, a large trout caught
and swallowed the whole business. He
had great difficulty in getting out the
large catch. On returning home he went
to the barn to feed his horse and there
discovered large rat snake in the barn.
He soon killed it, took the reptile up to
carry it out Of the house, when to his sur
prise, large black snake came out of it's
mouth. He then killed the black snake,
when 10! and behold, green snake came
out of the black snakes mouth. Mr..
Lester says he thinks some bad luck will
overtake him soon, and that those things
are forerunners to give him warning.

Feather Beds Are Scarce.

Feather beds are rapidly becoming a
thing of the past" said dealer in bed
ding to The Man About Town. "The
double action, patent twist wire bed and
the cool, hard, hair mattress have
usurped their place, and few Of them
can be found in this city outside the
German families, who used feather beds
in their native homes. The bed Of to-
day is the hair article. All sorts of
mattresses are on the market-husk,
spring, cork, and fine wire mattresses
have been introduced. Various compo-
sitions have been invented, are calcu-
lated to take the place Of the feather
bed, and after long years of supremacy
it has at last given way and, save among
foreigners and old people, it has no
friends. Young people will not have
feather beds. Many of them want hair
mattresses, hair holsters and even hair
pillows. In the summer these are GER
tainly preferable to feather bedding, be-
cause they are cooler. 1t has been said
that feathers are unhealthy, but this is q
fallacy. They have not been discarded
for sanitary reasons, but merely as a
matter Of preference. list. Louis

The Hobbies Of Royalty.

The collecting hobby of royalty is ON
the increase; thus the prince regent Of
Bavaria has large collection Of beetles
the most complete in Germany-and is
also great observer Of the habits of
ants, bees, flies, moths, &c. Of other
royal persons King Oscar of Sweden may
be mentioned us collector Of books Of
poems with autographs Of the writer's.
The Gar Alexander III. has preserved
and increased his rich collection Of birds
eggs and postage stamps begun when
boy, and the King Of Roumania's am
bition consists in bringing together the
largest number Of autographs Of all WELL
known personages throughout the world.
The ex-Empress of Brazil possesses tho
most complete collection Of butterflies,
and the Queen Of Italy is very fond Of
continually adding to her already large
collection Of gloves, boots and shoes,
worn at different periods at Italian courts,
including, for example, "Noro's" sandals,
"Rienzi's" throne shoe, pair of white
slippers and fan, which they say be-
longed to Mary Queen of Scots, shoes
worn by Queen Anne, by Marie Antoin-
don Queen.

Economy in Steam Power.

One of the modern ideas Of the eco
nomical use Of steam power is the use Of
number Of small engines located at
various points in a large shop, instead Of
single engine Of sufficient power to
drive all the machinery. Professor Cole
man Sellers asserts that with the best
shafting that can be made hardly one
half Of the power generated by the engine
reaches the machines when distributed
by means of long shafts. So great is the
friction that shaft two miles long
could not be turned by any amount Of
power applied at one end, as the shaft
would be twisted off before it would turn.
In the new shops Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad at Altoona and Walls Station,
this idea Of subdividing power has been
admirably carried out. In the Altoona
shops there are seventeen small engines,
ranging from FIVE to eighty horse power,
and there are five engines in the Walls
shops. The same idea hos also been
carried out at the Newport News VA
shipyards. New Orleans Tilnes-Demo-

RAIN sUpERsT1T1oNs.
Method OF Coaxing Rain In Different
Countries.

In the Caucasian province of Georgia
says writer in the Golden >Bougb, where
a drought has lasted long, manageable
girls are yoked in couples with an az
yoke on their shoulders, q priest holds
the reins, and thus harnessed they wade
through rivers, puddles and marahes,
praying, screaming, weeping and laaagh-
ing.
In district Of TraBylva1ia when the
ground is parched with drought, some
girls strip themselves naked, and, led by
an older woman, who is also naked, they
steal q harrow and carry i across the
field to brook, where they set it aAoat.
Next they sit on the harrow and keep o
tiny fame burning on each corner of it
for an hour. Then they leave the harrow
in the water and go home.
A similar rain charm is resorted to in
India; naked women drag pillow across
the field by night. It is not said that
they plunge the pillow into stream or
sprinkle it with water. But the charm
would hardly be complete without It.
Sometimes the charm works through an
animal.
"To procure rain the Peruvinns used
to set q black sheep in a field, poured
chica over it, and gave it nothing to eat
till rain fell.
"In district of Sumatra all the women
of the village, scantily clad, go to the
river, wade into it and splash each other
with the water. A black cat is thrown
into the water and made to swim about
for while, then allowed to escape to
the bank, pursued by the splashing of
the women. In these cases the color of
the animal is part of The charm; being
black it will darken the sky with rain-
clouds. So the Bechuanas burn the
stomach OF an OK at evening, because
they say the black smoke will gather
the clouds and cause the rain to come
The Timorese sacrifice black pig for
rain, white or red one for sunshine.
The Garos offer black goat on the top
Of q very high mountain in time Of
drought.
Sometimes people try to coerce the
rain-god into giving rain. In China q
huge dragon, made of paper or wood,
representing the raingod is carried about
in procession; but if no rain follows it
is cursed and torn to pieces. In the like
circumstances the Feloupes of senegam-
bio throw down their fetiches and drag
them about the fields, cursing them till
rain falls. Some Indians Of the Orinoco
worshiped toads and kept them in YES
sells in order to obtain from them rain or
sunshine, as might be required; when
their prayers were not answered they
beat the toads. Killing frog is q
European rain charm. When the spirits
withhold rain or sunshine the Comanches
whip slave; if the gods prove obsti-
nate the victim is almost fiayed alive.
Here the human beng may represent
the god, like the leaf-clad Dodola. f"

Not less than fifty went down with guns

A Primitive Indian Mill.

During late visit to the Cocopah re-
gion the writer saw many interesting
things, the most odd Of which was mill
beans into fine meal or powder. A
hole some two feet in circumference and
about eighteen inches deep is dug in the
tough clay soil, into this is fitted funnel
like barrel made Of willow stick, each
about one-inch through; these sticks are
tied to each other with red flannel: The
lower end or bottom goes nearly to
point, making the vessel almost perfect
cone. The cone is about three feet long,
the upper part or mouth extending twelve
inches from the ground. After tightly
fitting tho "mill'' into the clay receptacle
prepared for it, it is filled with water;
the following day stout buck uses a
ponderous mesquite club some six feet
long, with big head at the lower end,
and lamps down the moistened clay for
several hours. After this work is done
the mill is ready for business.
Great heaps Of mesquite beans are
brought in from the bottom lands, and as
the sturdy warrior plies the CLUB
patient squaw supplies the mill with
beans. In short while the meal OF
powder is removed and put into vessels,
to be saved for future use. The mes
quite bean -four is of deep golden color,
quite sweet and crushed very fine, con-
sidering the manner in which it is han
died. The Indians consume large guam
titles of mesquite -four; they not only
use it in making kind Of "tortilla, first
mixing with u little wheat flour, but 10
used in nearly every dish of food which
they cook. The primitive mill alone
described is said to be very strong, and
it will stand several months hard and con-
slant usage.-[Yuma (Cal.) Times.

How the Lethbridee Coal Has Forged
Ahead in Montana.
Two years ago the first consignment Of
Lethbridee coal, from the Gait mines in
Northwest territory, was received in Hell
ena. People were a little slow in taking
hold of it. but a trial proved it to be all that
WAS claimed for it. 1t was found to burn
to an ash, there were no c!inkers. and there
were no sulphur fumes coming from it.
Another item i'll its favor is its lasting
qualities. Two years' trial has resulted III
the LethbridRe COAL largely superceding the
Pennsylvania anthracite. not only in Hell
ena but in other portions OF the state.
For domestic use it is particularly
suited, being clean, and il rs
we'll adapted for cooking as for heating
purposes. There are two sizes for domestic
use, nut and lump. In price it is a little
higher than other Goals on the market, but
the Lethbridge more than makes up the diff
ference by its lasting qualities. The Helena
Lumber company, whose uptown office is
i'll the Thompson block, corner of Main and
Grand streets. are the Helena agents. A
large supply is always kept on hand at the
ccmpanv's yards near the Northern Pacific
depot, so that orders are filled with des-
patch.
