Whoever has seen q Cornish funeral
knows how "ilka lasse has her laddle"
In the melancholy procession, and not
only are there lads and lassles, but
more mature couples. It is a matter
not only Of ceremony but choice, A
clergyman was ministerlng, the other
day to parishloner whose end was
approaching, when the voice Of the
sick mans wife, who was something
of q vlrago made itselfheard through
the open window: II don't care what
comes or goes, but l will not follow
the corps with q little man."

Rlindness.

The little plant, which is said by
scientists to cause blindness, belongs
to the lowest order of fungi. The
propagation-simply by divisions
very rapid, and its growth in the
tissues covering the eyeball causes
such irritation and congestion as to
cut off the supply of nutriment to
the clearer part of the eye, so that
the local death Of the part, with con-
sequent destruction of the power Of
vision, follows often in few days or
even hours. So far as is known it is
carried only by infection, it must be
planted directly on suitable soil be-
fore it can grow. This, in brief, is
what is known Of the bacterial cause
of blindness.

room.
France Supplies New York.
Although the varieties Of fungi are
numbered by the hundred, only those
mentioned stand in sufficiently high
estimate to receive the attention OF
cultivators, and the common mush'
room takes first place. Mushrooms
are cultivated in caves kept at
temperature ranging from 60 to 70
degrees, and they require no sun
light In recent years several such
caves have been built by rich Amorl-
cans to supply their private tables.
Jay Gould had one at Irvlngton, and
so had Cyrus w. Field, and Levi p,
Morton now maintains one at Rhine
cliff. In these caves the mushrooms
are grown all the year round, There
need be no alarm about mushrooms
secured at respectable restaurants,
for they are all imported from Paris
in sealed tin cases All are Guilt
vated and none of the wild varieties
are handled. Outside the walls OF
Paris there are over twenty miles of
mushroom caves, and the Paris mar
ket is supplied daily with 5000
pounds Of cultivated mushrooms.

How to Know a Mushroom.

So numerous have been the fatal
tiles of late from eating poisonous
toadstools under the impression that
they were genuine mushrooms, that
it becomes a matter Of the greatest
consequence to have a correct under
standing as to the difference between
the healthful and the dangerous ar
ticle. There are in this country
about 100 different varieties of fungi,
and it Is safe to assert that over 100
varieties are either unhealthful or
positively poisonous. 1t is extremely
difficult to tell the difference, and

When MussuIman and HindOo Fight.

When Mussulman and HindoO Fight.
The odd feature In these riots is
their immediate cause, This is al
ways reported to be Cow killing"
but Mussulmans kill oxen all the
year round for food and so do the
Europeans. The grievance is not
that, but display Of the old feeling
Of ascendancy on the part Of the Mus
sulmans, who, on the day Of their
festival, kill COW close to temple
in token of high religious defiance.
Then the HindoOs, who do not mind
about the killings during the rest of
the year, turn out armed, and there
is a battle royal, which, but for the
English, would in twenty-four hours,
develop into religious war. The
English, however, tell the police to
fire impartially on both sects, and
the police, though they are them
selves Mussulmans and Hindoos, do
it with delight, and there is peace
and good feeling for the ensuing
year.
If this is not a state of affairs to
puzzle Englishmen there is no such
state; but Irishmen would under
stand it at once. The armed police
in Ireland in a religious" row plays
just the part 1t plays in India, only,
being English in discipline and arm
ament, it takes fewer lives, The

GOOD news comes from Clay City.
Two members of a charivari party
got into row and one man killed
the other. The murderer is being
pursued and if caught will probably
be lynched 1t is to be hoped that
he will be. The charivarl, OF. "shiv-
aree" as it is known in rural circles,
is a disgraceful performance. 1t
consists in gathering crowd OF
country loafers and toughs before a
house occupied bya newly married
couple and making night hideous
with tin pans, COW bells, "horse fld-
dies" shotguns and other noise-pro-
ducing instruments. The object is
to compel the bridegroom to donate
money wherewith, the loafers and
toughs may buy whisky. Occasion
ally the tormented benedict refuses
to pay blackmail, and disperses the
crowd by shooting into It, This
course is always commendable, but 1t
sometimes gets the bridegroom into
trouble. The Clay City plan is much
better. 1t Is to be hoped that the
noodlums who get up "shiVarees"
may continue killing one another
until the tribe is extinct.

quite so delicate.
The toadstool can usually be de-
tected under the influence of salt,
which brings out the evil flavor and
makes the taste more bitter. The
fungus should be placed cap down
and the salt inserted in the gills.
Some farmers say silver is a sure
test, but this is doubtful. The plan
is to place a silver spoon or coin in
the stew, and If it becomes furnished
the fungi are pronounced toadstools.
If the silver retains its bright color
they are declared to be mushrooms.
There are healthy mushrooms in
which the gills are purple, rust col
ored and black, but it is not safe for
a novice to experiment with them.

principal one of the three or four
species that are cultivated. The
common mushroom has fine favor,
and is nutritious and highly health
full. 1t has white, firm stem, heshy

high. When the cap begins to ex-
pand the gills are pale, but gradual
ly they assume a pink hue. When
