THE ToPSY OF PLANTS.
rrunies Grow without Roots In the vicin.
ity Of Oak Trees.


Concerning truffles there Is much mys-
terry. Where do they come fromp II spect
they growed," Topsy might have said Of
them, but nobody knows exactly how they
do grow They have not any root, and no
one can tell where they will be found, ex-
cept that experience has taught that, as q
rub they are most plentiful In the vicin-
Hy'of oak trees. There In the ground, q
few inches below the surface, lie these COR
rugated balls emitting an odor which IL
rather sickly and overpowering. Pigs and
dogs have great affinity for this scent,
and formerly pigs were used to direct the
seekers after truffies to their place Of con-
cealment. Dogs In these times are solely
employed In Perigord, whence we derive
the bulk Of our supplies Some arr to be
found In England, in Hampshire, but
these are described as having a musty
taste and are without the rich and delicate
flavor which makes the French truffie dear
to the heart of the chef.
To indulge ones appetite for truffles
after the taste for them has been acquired
Is very expensive luxury. They require
to be well selected. Some may be as small
as nut, and some may weigh fully a
pound, but the best ones, says M. Benoist,
who has specially studied them, average
six or eight to pound. In this country
the consumption Is not so large, but it
suddenly expands at Christmas time, and
1t is possible that when the supply is
short, as it sometimes is, picked truffles
may be worth 80 shillings per pound. AS
truffies soon waste and go bad it is OBJ
vious that 1t is speculative article, I'M
less the demand is regular The French
have learned to appreciate these dainties
very highly, and the skilled cook can In
illimitable dishes make effective use of
them, to the delight of The gourmet, II not
Of the gourmand or glutton. In Paris
more truffies are used In one day than
would suffice the needs Of all England for
two months, served though they be as
vegetables with hot or cold dishes. Lon

Advantages of Preserving Clippings From
Current Newspapers.
There are many good things occasionally
in the daily papers-editorials, locals, lit
srary matter, etc.-which could be preserv-
cd In the scrapbook. And here and there
In magazine Is a story or some article or
contribution of value because of Its re-
search in and knowledge of the arts and
sciences, while the rest Of the periodical Is
of comparatively little use. A scrapbook
of such matters would be found exceedingly
interesting, IL for nothing else.
The writer has seen and perused scrap
books which were gems In their way.
The collators displayed care, taste and judg-
ment In the selection of the articles for
preservation, and IL was really treat to
look them over and here and there peruse
the entire article. OF course 1t depends
altogether on the collator, whether be or
she has the requisite tact and intelligence
for classifying and arranging articles In
such a medium. 1t may well be called an
education In itself, and the owners of such
books are generally people OF far more
than ordinary intelligence.
Events of Importance, matters OF great
moment, interesting local incidents, selec-
tions of genuine poetry, and many other
things incident to such collection OF
compilation make up work which at
times proves to be of value, not only fol
reference, but as reminder OF scenes, In
cidents and occasions which but family
linger in memory. Let the old scrapbook
once more have its place in every family.
Teach the children its advantages and uses
and have them assist in Its preparation.
The result will be happy, well informed,
Intelligent household, one which your
friends will delight to visit often, and
with you once in awhile indulge In a rem
iniscential evening, which will be made
all the more enjoyable when the scrapbook
is brought forth and Its contents examined.

The Catanaran.

The catamaran, made OF followed log,
shares the popularity of the Massoola boat
with the fishermen Of Madras. The rick
ETY. looking contrivance can weather any
storm in the skillful native hands, ana
letters are sent by this means to ships In
the offing when other communication Win
the shore is impossible.
The catamaran requires steering with a
paddle through the raging surf, ana,
though the boatman may be frequently
dashed out of the rude skiff by the VIC.
lence of the waves, he leaps into his frail
bark again with the efficiency of long prac-
tice. and the catamaran, flying over the
crest of the great pillows which threaten
instant destruction, accomplishes the per-
ilous voyage in safety.-AI the Year

TATTOoING.
TIE Origin sseas - De Found In Early |
Religious ObssrvAnses.

Religious Obssrvsnsss.
What Is the origin of tattooingi Rsli-
gion, which has SO much power over peoples
and which proves so obstinate In preserv-
Ing ancient customs, has certainly con-
tributed to maintain u among the more
barbarous part Of our populations. We
see quasi official proof Of IL at Lorette.
Those who cultivate devotion for saint
believe that by engraving bis image son
their flesh they will give him q proof, q
clear testimony, OF their love. We know
that the Phenicians marked the sign Of
their divinity on their foreheads (Ewald,
Judaischen Altherthum, isi). In the Mar
shall islands they have to ask the permits
sion of the gods 20 tattoo themselves, and
the priests alone In New Zealand perform
the office of tattooing (Scherzer). Lub-
book adds to this that woman who does
not wear q tattoo mark cannot enjoy eter'
nal felicity. The women Of Britain tat
tooed themselves In obedience to religion
(Pliny, 83).
The second cause Is the spirit Of imita-
ton. A Lombard soldier answered me
laughingly one day when rallied him on
his having spent a small sum to spoil his
arm. "See, monsieur, We are like sheep,
and when one of us does anything We all
initiate him at once, even II we risk doing
ourselves harm.' Love of distinction
also has its influence. A thief Of the most
incorrigible sort who had six brothers
tattooed like himself implored me, al
though he was half covered with the oldest
tattoo marks, to find him a professional
tattooer to complete what might we'll be
styled the embroidery of his skin. when
the tattooing is very curious and spreads
all over the body" he told me, lit is to us
other thieves like the black coat of society
with decorations-the more we are tattooed
the more we esteem one another; the more
person Is tattooed the more influence he
has over his companions. On the con-
trary one who is not tattooed has no In
fiuence. He is regarded simply as good
fellow and is not esteemed by the COM
pany. Popular Science Monthly.

THE SPLITTING HABIT.


w CsAAen eAsA OnsAss
There Is hardly anything new that can
De VI to the splitting part OF the commu-
nifty to cure this very bad habit. Signs
have been placed In cars positively forbid
ding the act. yet In these same vehicles .
woman has to carefully select her seat In
order to save the cleanlinesssof her skirts.
Women's clubs have aired the matter free
ly. Newspapers have deypted columns 70
condemnation OF the vile habit, yet one
has only to walk square In q popular
neighborhOod to see how vain has been all
this hue and cry and how Indifferent the
male portion of the town Is to clean and
orderly civic housekeeping, for q clean
illness of city Is but the cleanliness OF
the home extended beyond the front door.
and there Is no more reason why q man
should make public walk distasteful to
hundreds of people than that he should
disturb the members Of his family by using
vilely the Railways and floors of his home.
In the house, for throat and mouth that
must be relieved, a proper place or recep-
tacle is provided, and the man who would
attempt to neglect their use would surely
hear sharply from the head of the house.
So In our civic home the proper place for
splitting is surely not on the sidewalk, and
Mt such times should hear very sharply
from those who represent our civic head.
Perhaps the weakness of this reform Is
that the evil has always been regarded as
affecting the happiness Of only part of
the COMMUNICATES women-but II 1t
could be emphasized, what is so clearly a
truth, that this splitting habit Is direct
and easy medium for the spread Of dis
eases, thus affecting the welfare Of the
whole community, the offenders may take
some thought of the matter. The secre-
tion of thousands of Threats, drying where
1t lays and throwing off the germs of the
bronchial and other diseases which cause
them, fill the very atmosphere with dan
ger, and every mouth and nostrii that
passes by runs the gantlet of danger.
That fact, though true one, gives rise to
uncomfortable thoughts, but the subject
itself Is most uncomfortable one, and
the sooner the cause for all this discomfort
and uneasiness is removed the better for
all, not only for the woman and her skirt
braids, but for the health of the man,
woman and child.-Philadelph Press.
