why Men Eat Too Much.

Eating is the greatest of all our
standard amusemnnts. A great num-
Der Of people obviously eat q great
deal more than they need, and 1t is en-
tirely credible that large proportion
of the moderate eaters might thrive as
well and look as handsome and work
as hard and live as long ON very
much restricted diet. But would the
Joy Of life continue uninpaied for
them? The native born might raise
plenty of children if they could sub
sist for II cents day, but would they
think life was worth living on II cents
worth Of food day? No. they
wouldn't. That is one thing that ails
them.-Harper's.

Great Mushroom Garden In France

Great Mushroom Garden In France.
The strangest of the underground
worlds in France which l visited was
one devoted to the raising of mush-
rooms. Its limits seemed unbpunded,
as indeed they were, for it pierced the
hillsides in every direction. We entered
through an opening under an orchard
Of cherry trees. During harvest time''
crop is gathered every twenty~four
hours. Three men, with their great
baskets, make the rounds Of this under
ground farm every morning. and every
day in the year can count on an i'm
mense crop, which they ship to the
large cities near by and even several
miles away. The discolored and infer.
or mushrooms are sent to the cannertes,
but for his best growth the producer
receives only 20 cents pound.-Scrib

FEDERATION MINERS BARRED.
They Will Not Be Employed at Cripple
 Creek.

Cripple Creek. Colo, September 9.-The Mine Owners association has announced that no members of the Western Federa- ton of Miners will be employed in any of the properties owned by members of the association. The federation's influence on the prosperity of the district has been bad, according to the mine owners.
 The union miners are still confidently aggressive and are keeping their organ ization intact. Officers of the federation declare that of 1000 men formerly em- ployed in four mines at which an attempt has been made to resume operations. only no have returned to work. It is reported that the mine owners have made arrange ments with railroads for reduced rates for miners from southwest Missouri, and it is thought that miners will be brought from the Joplin lead district to take the places of the strikers.
 Work at the Stratton Independence mine at Victor was resumed under pro- tection of the state militia this morning. This is the fourth mine to be started un- der the protection of the military in the past two days.

London, September 1O.-Except that the consuls in Salonica are again asking for the protection of warships, there is little news this morning from the seat of the Macedonian troubles, but there is plentiful crop of startling statements Among the latter is the assertion made in a Sofia dispatch to the secolo of Milan to the effect that it has been decided to mobilize the Bulgarian army. This is contrary to the avowed policy of the Bulgarian government, but cannot be re- garded as unlikely with Turkish troops at Goektpe five miles from the Bulga- rian frontier.

OFFICIALS DENY REPORT
Louisville. September S.-rhe Times to-

Louisville, September s.-The Times to- day says:
 An ultimatum from the Machinists' union shortly will be delivered to the of ficials of the Louisville and Nashville rail- road and If the demands of the men are not granted a general strike may follow.
 Rumors of a strike are current through that section of the south penetrated by the Louisville and Nashville. Considerable dissatisfaction exists among the machin- ists all over the system. The fact that 40 men wered daid off in the machine shop of the Decatur, Alabama and Western at Decatur last week has been the cause of great dissatisfaction, and is thought to have influenced the machinists in their contemplated action. The men were laid off because of a lack of work.
 In an interview with several members of the association at the Louisville and Nashville shops the following statements were secured: While we will not admit that general strike is in contemplation, it is fact that we are not entirely sat- isfed with the way things are going. This dissatisfaction has spread among the members and has been discussed at our meetings. As result there will probably be demands upon the company in the near future. This may mean a strike. The at titude of the officials will govern the ac- tions of the union."
 When seen by reporter officials of the Louisville and Nashville positively denied the possibility of a strike. They said that no negotiations were on between the com pany and the machnists, and that no de- mands have been made. They have no knowledge of dissatisfaction among the machinists and consider the reports to be wild and wholly without foundation.
