MUSHROOMS AS FOOD.
Chemists and Doctors DiTcr Greatly as
to Their Value.

A great deal has been said concern
ing the immense amount of valuable
food which was daily going to waste
in the shape OF edible fungi, says the
London Family Doctor. We are told
that In many parts of the world these
articles form the staple articles OF diet
OF the Inhabitants. Our attention has
been called to the natives OF Patagonia
and Terra del Fuego. who are said to
be of gigantic stature. and to exist
principally on vegetable fungi and to
certain African tribes who value
mushrooms so highly that one OF them.
the polyporus sacer. is worshlped as n
god. Chemists have assured us that
mushrooms belong to the animal rather
than the vegetable kingdom. seeing
that they possess larger percentage
OF nitrogen than any other class OF
vegetable life. They are. we are told.
essentially protein in composition. us
much so, pound for pound. as butchers

brausch and Ziegcl. stated some years
ago. as a resul. OF chemical investiga-
ton. that mushrooms deserve TO be
placed with meat as sources OF nitrog-
enous nutrlment One man in Thur
lngia is said to have lived upon moth
ing but mushrooms for thirty years.
and to have died a centenarian. Com
parison has even been made between
mushrooms and other articles OF food
to the detrlmgnt of Tho latter Thus
chemical analysis has shown mush-
rooms to contain from 20 10 % per
cent OF protein. while bread only con-
talns per cent. potatoes per cent.
and barley meal 9 per cent OF protein.
Against this, however, We have the
opinion OF a DR.. Kitchener. who In
1924 stated In a publication called
Cooks Oracle" that he did not be-
lieve that mushrooms were nutritious.
DR. Jonathan Pereira. In his Treatise
on Food and Diet" published In Isi3.
said: Mushrooms are difrcult Of di-
gestlon, and on certain constitutions

and those with delicate stomachs will
act prudently In avoiding the use OF
this doubtful order OF foods. Other
writer's have expressed similar opln-
ions. not. however. based on expert
mental work. and therefore they are
not absolutely reliable.

PENCILS ANDHI WIFE

The shabby little crippled seamstress
who lived on the top floor of the back
tenement at - East Seventeenth
street did not look like a heroine of
romance, but for all that she was
one.
When Pencils" the blind man who
stood patiently through heat and
Third avenue IL" steps, thought of her
goodness and kindness to him the
heart under his old faded. patched coat
beat like trip-hammer.
Pencils was wont to beguile the
time between trains by thinking of
his romance. 1t helped him to bear
the broiling heat. the nipping cold.
or the pelting rain. The people who
hurried past him never so much as
dreamed that the blind pauper stand
ing there. timidly proffering his wares.
knew what the word meant.
But Pencils never wearied Of
thinking Of the little woman who had
made for him the only CLEAN of sun
shine he had ever known.
Pencils" was at one time an inmate
of blind asylum. There were mil
lions back of 1t. and stewed prunes
for supper
When Pencils" weary and sick of
stewed prunes. asked for fresh apple
sauce, there was chaos and consterna-
tion In the institution. No such re-
volt has been on record since Oliver
Twist asked for more.
The end of 1t was that Pencils" was
cast forth and told to shift for himself.
There was little crippled seam
stress sewing In the linen-room-a
homely, shabby little creature, indus
trious and reticent. The story drifted
up to the linen-room, and when Pen
ellis" was slowly tapping his way down
the steps of the asylum for the last
time and vaguely wondering what was
to become of him some one pulled his
sleeve. slipped bill in his hand, and
whispered an address and name to
him.
60 there" said the voice. They
are friends of mine and they will be
kind to you"
1t was the little seamstress. Pen
cils' obeyed her instructions. and the
wretched tenement to which he was
directed opened its doors to him with
that beautiful hospitality only to be
found among the poor.

pennies together to buy food heard

coNsoLINo FOR sPINsTERs.
More Unmarried Men Than Women. Say
the Government Reports.

Some one has proposed husbands
union for the protection of husbands.
Just what they are to be protected
from is not yet stated Possibly the
union is to be founded on the same
lines as the School for Wives. estab-
lished In England. Still better are the
marriage schools which are being de-
veloped in Germany on very practical
lines. They are for girls and women
only. and the value of such training
cannot be overestimated. Girls leave
the marriage school competent to un-
dertake the management of a house
and of husband The girls who have
been graduated from these schools
have been extra lucky in getting mar
ried, so it is said. Another society
which has been organized in Denmark
is the Celibacy Insurance society. Its
object is to provide for those women
who either cannot or will not provide
themselves with husbands. The pre-
miums begin at the age of IS and end
at 40, an age at which 1t is supposed
most of the members will have aban-
doned all thought of marriage. Such
being the case, the woman receives an
annuity for life. II she marries at any
time she forfeits all her rights. Old
maids in the United States are out
numbered by the bachelors, although it
is popularly supposed that the con-
trary is the case. To come to exact
figures. there are 7,427,767 bachelors
and 1924 ,494 spinsters. This is upon
the authority of government report.
Even in Massachusetts, where 1t was
thought that old maids constitute {.
large proportion of the population they
could each find husband, for there
are 226,0S5 men and only 2l9,255
women who have not yet entered into
the bonds of matrimony. New York
state has 10000 more bachelors than
spinsters. Only one state in the union
has more female celibates than male,
and that is California. in which there
are 59,456 OF the former and 90 .S29 OF
the latter. The state of Washington
has perhaps the largest excess of for
lorn single men-89,5S7 all told, the
unmarried women numbering only
9,lS1. out of an equal number of
bachelors and widowers between %
and 30 years of age. thirty widowers
remarry for every thirteen bachelors
who enter the bonds Of hymen for the
first time. For every spinster married
between 80 and 60, two widows are re-
married. Both facts are eloquent in
favor of the comparative advantages of
matrimony

San Luis Park Has sot Good Example
s. l. Hallett, in the Mining and Sci
entific Press, says:
while travelling in the San Luis
Park of Colorado. observed peculiar
condition of roads that might be of in
terest to any one freighting in n desert
region, where the sand is very deep
and thick, and particularly of interest
to steam freighters, where good road
Is really n part Of the machinery.
San Luis valley has once been the
site of an old lake, and the whole val
ley, with few exceptions, is very sandy,
a loaded wagon sinking from four TO
ten inches in the coarse sand. The
farmers in that section have placed on
the roads covering of from six inches
to one foot of wheat straw. This they
cover again with small amount of
sand, and this roadbed makes the fin
est highway that have ever travelled
over in the country-springy, and yet
not allowing loaded wagon to sink
into it at all; perfectly good after n
rain or in the driest weather, 1t enables
the farmers TO haul three times as
much with the same power as though
1t were not there. The country being
very dry, 1t makes II lasting road, as
the wheat straw, after having been
plowed under for several years, when
brought TO light, Is rs bright and fresh
as when Il was first covered up, not
rotting in the slightest degree.
"The difference is very marked the
minute that you leave these roads and
get into the heavy sand. 1t is us cheap
as anything that could possibly be
placed on the road TO better 1t. The
country is Il large wheat-producing
one, and such straw as they do not use
is burned, owing to the fact that IL will
not decompose when plowed under in
their wheat fields. The straw breaks
of in small pieces, being very brittle
and seems to mix with the sand, form
ing an almost perfect macadam road.
Possibly 1t might be of benefit TO
mines using steam wagons to try to
better their roads by this means, II
they have the wheat straw, or, If not
with the best wild hay ut their COM
mand. The difference in the ease Of
travel and the very marked difference
in the amount of load that can be
hauled strikes one forcibly."
