Where Mystery Dwells.

There's beauty in the sunsets glow,
And in the azure sky,
There's grandeur in the vasty deep,
And in the mountains high;
There's terror in the tempest black,
And in the lightning's flash:
There's wonder in the armament,
And mystery in the hash.

and Raise Mushrooms.
The cultivation of mushrooms isreally
a matter of ancient history in France.
The people are so fond of them and
find them so nutritious as well as profit
able that very few Erenchmen are so
poor rs to be obliged 20 do without their
beloved vegetable.
Notwithstanding the antiquity of tho
mushroom il is, even in these days Of
enlightenment, a mystery. Nobody,
save few savants, knows much about
it, but everybody in France knows that
It can be made to grow in almest any
quantity desired.
The mushroom loves place that is
cool, damp and dark, and it is for this
/ reason that the mushroom is almost in
variably cultivated in subtorranean ex-
| cavations throughout France
In the department of the Seine there
are over 3, 600 of these caves, and in
them live about 800 people" cham
| pignonists, " who rarely see the day
light The descent into these caves is
by way of rope ladders.
One of the most interesting sights
around Paris is the subterranean oxca-
vations where this vegetable is raised.
Some of the caves are nothing more on
less than tunnols, while others are. ex-
hausted stone quarries, quito number
Of them extending under the streets Of

Very many persons think cake is un-
