ant industry in Europe, where

Mushrooms thrive best in dark,
damp places. The task of gathering
the fungi is by no means easy, for
the tunnels of the old quarries are
so low that it is possible to stand
upright only in a few rest holes"
made for the purpose.

One of the things in which the Ger man woman diners from her English sister is that every German girl, when she reaches the age of 17 or IS. is sent away from home to some family a lons way of. who send one of their own daughters in exchange. According to The Gentlewomaai, this exchange lasts for about three years.
 The girl is treated as one of the fam fly, is styled Fraulein, but In every other respect is a mere servant. She has to do ali the work of the house, scrubbing. washing, cooking. mendins lin fact everything that domestic servant Is required to perform.
 This does not leave her with much . leisure for play, and the outdoor sports of an English girl are quite unknown in Germany. A German lady on be- ing told that English girls played ten- his and hockey expressed her contempt for such foolery and asked who did the housework. On being informed that no English girl or matron would dream of turning to and doing the cooking, etc, she gasped out: "Oh, Lord! What Q lot of lazy hussiesr'

 It is sight to see the lady in a German towni going to market. She knows what to buy and what to pay, and every Wednesday and Saturday you may see her trotting off to mar ket with her servant behind her carry ing a huge basket and examining the comestibles with critical air.
 About the only ray of sunshine she has, apart from the Kaffeeklatsch, is the visit on Sunday to some Kaffeegar- ten, anglice tea garden, where she and her lord and master, surrounded by their olive. branches, sit under the shade of a leafy tree and drink coffee and munch cakes or sour milk to their hearts delight.-Exchange.
