Mushrooms.

It seems to me to be at all times the
duty of mankind to save all that prOvI-
dence places before us. But now,
when the people are enduring such a
struggle for mere existence, and many
have not sufficient of nutritious food
on which to perform the duties per-
tanning to their condition in life, it
would seem blameworthy to so utterly
ignore the vast amount of food annu-
ally allowed to 60 to waste on our
prairies, in the shape of mushrooms
or edible fungi, as the scientific would
say.
l will speak of but one, Lycoperdon
Gigante,tna. Let those who are not
hungry curl their lip. but in English
this is our old acquaintance, the large
puff ball which grows so plentiful on
the prairie. This fungus is excellent
food and very nutritious, being COM
posed of almost the same constituents
III very much the same proportion as
beef, and superior in nutriment to
bread, oat meal or potatoes, as it con-
tains % per cent Of protean substance,
while bread contains s per cent, oat
meal 9 or 10, and potatoes 5.-(See
Rep. of Chemist U. 5. Ag. Dept, 1885.
The Chinese and Japanese make
great use of this plant, as well as the
Germans and Russians. China i'm
porting very largely of them.
1t is perfectly safe, there being no
POISONOUS varieties in the class, but as
L know from several years experience,
the smooth skinned ones are by far the
most delicate and fine favored. DR..
M. G. Cooke, of London, writes very
strongly in favor of the giant puff ball
as breakfast food, and Mrs. Hussey,
og Manchester, England, gives the fol-
lowing as her method of cooking:
''Cut in slices one-half inch thick,
soak in sailed water for thirty minutes
ana Try III butter; add salt and pepper,
OF herb seasoning"
l have tried her plan, it is good, so
are fritters, and so is stew with crack
ers-an oyster stew made with puff
balls. They will soon dot the wide
prairies with their pure white globes.
Let those who need more good food,
or who need more variety in their food !,
try them. They will not be disap-
pointed, but let them be sure to use
only the young ones, which have not
yet began to turn yellow inside, for
they, like beef, are soon filled with
worms, PEWTER PARsuALL.

CONGRESSMAN DAVIS, of Kansas, in
an interview gives some sound opinions
on the Coxey movement. lie says its
simply the downward movement of the
country under the trinity of evils known
as currency contraction, land monopoly
and tariff traction. He goes OIL to say
that contraction of the currency has
caused falling prices, decaying indus
tries aud enforced idleneSs of labor,
and that means starvation or beggary
unless people eau have access to the
land, and land monopoly prevents this.
Then the laboring man is further i'm
posed upon by u tariff in which the tax
falls upon consumption and not upon
accumulation.

having been beaten once he will not
