THE REAL MYSTERY.

A fox was once seen to take a
bunch of moss in his mouth and swim
out into the river, where, after sink
ing himself to the very point of his
nose in the water, he let go of the
moss and came ashore, says Puck.
No doubt" remarked the well-read
by-stander, you did that to rid your
self of fieas, which were driven by the
water to seek refuge in the moss
The fox glanced furtively and SINK
ingly about and around.

wink. Il did 1t to make some people
think that was what | did 1t for!

than motive, take it up one side and

MUSHROOMS IN MINE

plying few select customers, such
as the large restaurants. I know a
French waiter who today is making
$4,000 year out of what might be
called a small mushroom farm.
"All the work in mushroom farming
comes in starting your bed, and that
isn't real hard work. After that all
you've got to do is see that it Is kept
at the proper temperature by means

mushrooms as bonus to their GUS

rooms in their cellars just for this pur-
pose.
"The Long Island farmers haven't
taken up mushroom farming as COM

most of the mushrooms brought here
from Long Island are natural ones.
They are in a class by themselves and

the artificial mushrooms. Most people

Old Booty's Ghost.

An apparition was once the subject
of trial in the court Of kings bench.
This was the case known to lawyers
as "Old Booty's Case" and was an &C.
ton for libel brought by his widow
against a certain Captain Barnaby for
saying that he had seen Old Booty,
chased by the devil, disappear in tho
chased by the devil, disappear
The trial took place before Sir Rob-
ert Wright, lord chief Justice Of
England, and a jury in 1888. The de-
tense was that the words spoken were
actually true, and Captain Barnaby
produced thirty witnesses Captains
and sailors) to testify to the fact that
they had also at the time mentioned,
in May, 1857, seen Old Booty or his
apparition disappear into the crater.
Their statements were further sub:
stantiated by the ships log books, by
which the remarkable fact appeared
that allowing for the difference in
time the apparition was seen at the
moment of Old Booty's death. With
such evidence before him the lord
chief justice summed up strongly In
Captain Barnaby's favor, saying, &C.
cording to the report: Lord have
mercy upon me and grant that l may
never see what you have seen. One.
two, three witnesses may be mis-
taken, but thirty never" And so
Mrs. Booty lost her case.

Every summer, of course, brings white
10 the fore, but this craving for cool.
immaculate white usually expresses
Itself In diaphanous frocks and blouses
and In linen tailored wear for the
street. But this year the coat and
skirt suit Of white serge or mohair
WILL be worn where in other summers
linen has been the rule: and though
the white serge suit may not be whit
cooler than the one of dark blue, it
looks a deal cooler; and that, to be
sure, Is the main consideration. The
white serge suit for summer days has
no lining and is made in the lightest,
coolest %ay. Most of these models
are trimmed with wide white braid,
or with stitched bands and facings of
white silk or satin.
The white mohair suits are especial
~ dainty and are really as cool as the
linen models, with the advantage of
shaking the dust more readily; nor
does the mohair suit require the fire.

are made with extreme. even exagger.

a little hand embroidery being the
only trimming permitted. The white

Diamonds That Explode.

In his cantor lecture at the London
Royal Society of Arts DR.. A. E. Tut.
ton, the leading expert on crystallog-
raph. said that diamonds were prob
bly, formed from fused carbon at great
unknown temperatures and under such
pressures as could only exist at enor-
nous depths below the surface Of the
earth.
When they came within the reach Of
the miner they had travelled upwards,
probably by volcanic action, for long
way. It was we'll known that the re-
lief from pressure afforded in this
wax caused many diamonds to break,
as the volcanic rocks in which they
were first imbedded decayed into the
famous blue clay. Workmen in the
Kimberley mines knew that diamonds
often exploded soon after being dug
out of the earth.
This explosion was greatly assisted
by heat and many accidents had &C.
