trees are peculiarly fitted for the growth
Of the truffie, which Is la round, potato
shaped tuber, about two inches in dame
ter. 1t is of the nature and order of the
mushroom, but, unlike the latter. 1t is
very aromatic. Like the mushroom, It
grows from spores and is considered by
the French to be a great table delicacy.
In fact, no Partisan dinner Is complete
without the national dish and the trufiie
always appears on the menu of a we'll
appointed dinner.
TrufKes grow under ground, thriving
upon the fbrous roots of tile oak tree
Their presence can often be located by
the absence Of vegetation about tho
trunks Of the trees ON whose roots they
feed, for they are of parasitical growth
and kill the vegetation that dares to In
fringe upon their territory.
The manner of trufie gathering by the
peasants is very unique. A pig-prefera-
bly, sow-is trained to go roofing for
them, and after locating them by their
odor uncovers the dainty tubers by the
strength of her snout. The peasant, who
has the SOW In charge, keeps close be-
side her, and as soon as she reveals
truff1e strikes her nose with a stout
stick, preventing her from biting the
coveted tuber. which he Immediately
takes possession OF.
The pig is trained in trufie-hunting while
very young by his food being mixed with
sliced trufies that he may cultivate a
taste for them and become familiar with
their odor, Then, when turned into the
woods where the truffies grow his acute
sense Of smell will readily lead him to the
spot where they are hidden Under the
soft soil.

"Say, mamma, do you know that to-
morrow Is the first of April?'' Sissie asked
the question of her mother, rising from
her little chair, where she was propped
up in pillows, to take a peep out of the
window at the children going by on their
way to school. "And see how brightly the
sun Shines just like real spring day."
Yes, dearie, and you will soon be we'll
and strong again." said Sissies mother,
stopping in her work to lay her hand
lovingly on her little daughters head.
you've been Ill Just three weeks today.
And you have been brave little girl,
too. never complaining of the suffering"
Yes, how glad l shall be to get out
again." sighed Sissie. And how glad
/ shall be to be able to help you with
the work, mamma. 1t has been very hard
on me to lie here, having you wait upon
me while your hands were so full OF your
sewing and the homework oh, how much
you have to bear. mamma dear" And
a ,tremor was in little Sissies voice.
81 have nothing to complain of so long
as l can provide for my dear little Sis
sic and Andy" said the mother, taking
up her sewing ''And. ever since your
dear father went away-two years ago
last month"; have prayed for but two
things-to be able to hold out with the
work l am obliged to do to keep a roof
over our heads and food In our mouths
and for our dear absent ones return.
Somehow l can't give up hope that your
father will return, and soon, too. l know
everyone is whispering that he isis
dead, but within my heart there lives a
hope that he is alive and on his way back
to us"
But, mamma dear" said Sissie, we've
only had two letters from him since he
reached the Klondike country. And in
the last letter he said he'd struck 1t
rich, and that he'd be home within the
year. The letter was written in October
of last year. And here 1t Is the spring
following and no papa yet" There was
