TRUFFlE HUNTING.
An Interesting Account Of the way II II
Done In Southern France,


Done In Southern France.
While the author of "Wanderings by
Southern Waters" was In the south Of
France he engaged an old man TO show
him how t%ruffles were gathered. At
tho appointed hour the man appeared
with n pig walking by his side-an
ugly-looking beast, with an arched
back and a long, turned up nose. IL
was four years old, and In the language
OF the place, was quite Serious" As
a mark OF distinction II wore a leather
collar. The three hunters-thc two
men and the pig-climbcd the rocky
! d of a steep gorge, and came out
upon a plateau. Here, under the oak
trees, they were TO find the truHles,
which grow only near oaks or hazels.
At n sign from the old man, the pig
began smiling about the roots Of O lit.
tic tree, and then proceeded to dig
with her nose, tossing up the larger
stones as IL they were feathers. She
had smelt n truflc, and the man seized
her by the ear, for her manner was sus-
picious. This was the first time they
had been out together since the last
season, and the pig had forgotten part
of her education.
She manages TO get n trufle into her
mouth. lie tugs at her ear with one
hand, and uses his stick upon her nose
with the other. The pig screams with
anger, but will not open her jaws wide
enough to let him slip the stick inside
and hook ont the trufie.
The prize Is swallowed, and the old
man, forgetful of all decorum, calls his
assistant a pig, which In France is al
ways an insult. The game has opened
badly, although one of the parties con-
ccrned is of a different opinion.
In a few minutes, however, a second
trufhe is found, and this time the old
man delivers a whack on the pigs nose
ut the right moment, and selling the
mushroom, hands IL To me. Then he
takes from his pocket an ear Of corn,
and picking off n few grains. gives
them to the pig by way Of soothing her
injured feelings and encouraging her
to 60 on with the hunt.
We move about In the dry, open
wood, keeping always near 1hc trees,
and trufilc after tiuhlc Is turned IN
from the reddish light soil. Her for
gotten training soon comes back to the
pig. At a mere twitch Of the car she
rctircs at the right moment, and waits
for the corn which is invariably given
her In exchange for the trufle.
Before we leave the ground, indeed,
she has got so we'll into the work that
on finding a truffe she does not at
tempt TO seize it, but points to IL, and
grunts for its equivalent in maize.

HONEY FROM FRUITS,
Berrisa. Peaches n Grapes Injured by
the Ravsges Of Bses.

BerrisS. Peaches and Grapes Injured by
tho Ravsges Of Bees.
Nectar in flowers Is not honey, saws
. writer In Mcehan's Monthly. This
nectar is gathered by the tongue ofthe
bee and enters what Is called the
honey bag, from which II Is rcgurgi.
tated by the bee on its return TO the
hive and deposited In tho honey cell.
Even then 1t Is thin and watcry, aud
docs not become really honey until the
watery parts have cvaporated. In col.
lecting the sweets the bees do not con-
fine themselves wholly to the flowers.
The writer Of this paragraph has for
. next nexhbor q professional bee
keeper, whose bees depend almost
wholly on the flowers from tho writer's
gardcn-that Is TO say, there are few
other flowers, except wild ones, on
which the bees q collect their ma
tcrial. Unfortunately for him they
are not satisfied with the flower, but
also carry away the fruit. 1t is al
most impossible In raspberry time to
get enough from his garden to make q
respectable dish for the tea table; near
~ every berry Is sucked to pieces be-
fore 1t 10 absolutely ripe. 1t Is the
same with the grapes. In order TO Sc
cure them from the ravages Of the bees
they have to be protected by paper
bars Last season, and for the first
time th.u h"sS been found to carry
away peaches also.
How they first penetrate the =
not clear. but 1t may possibly have bee4e
from the puncture Of the curculio. Tho
curculio frequently cuts the skin with.
out depositing the egg, aud this single
break may be borne along without in
jury to tho peach, permitting II to
ripcn. 1t Is possible that they get q
Arst entrance here. At any rate, Ger.
tain It 10 that before the peach Is fairly
ripe littlo Is left Of the peach but the
stone. Other fruit growers likewise
\ complain OF tho ravages Of the bees.
Dee keepers contend that this cannot
be; that the bee is incapable Of per.
forating the fruit. This may or may
not be; certainly what perforations
might exist before the bees discovered
them would not injure the fruit. The
following up Of this by the bees is Just
as bad as II they made the original
lp~erforations for themselves.
The Red Cloud chief., 1893-09-15
Intelligence Of Birds.

It 10 certain that all creatures on the
desert show remarkable intelligence,
and how they acquire their informa.
ton Is decidedly q puzzle. Suppose,
for example, alfalfa seed is sown. The
place may not have q bird about the
day before the seed Is put In, but next
day . cloud Of them will descend upon
the spot and faithfully cat every seed,
They do their work thoroughly and
with praiscworthy industry. Poisoned
wheat will check tho entire removal of
tho seed, but the sparrow is never de-
TERED by death, though there are some
who affirm o few dead sparrows will
have Q Christening influence upon the
rest

People who Ought to Be svimmer..

The seemingly strange suggestion Il
made and strongly pressed in England
hat the men who man the navy should
be taught how to swim. Ordinary
sailors are instructed and expected to
qualify In swimming, but the marines,
ilremcn and engineers are not, and IL
Is q fact that a large portion Of the lat.
ter large body of men who serve on
warships cannot swim. 1t Is said that
many more men would have been saved
from h Victoria but for this fact; also
that many sailors who were good swim
mers were undoubtedly dragged down
by the men who were not. The mat.
ter has been taken up in parliament,
n IT is probable that swimming will
Dc insisted on as a part Of the training
OF every man serving aboard ship.
