While it has not been found posi-
bic to make rain, something even bet
ter has been discovered, and that is
that the moisture can be bottled up
in the soil. When soil is full of
moisture, as in the spring, the evap-
|oration is rapid, if the soil is compact
amounting to about an inch a week.
By stirring the surface, thus forming
a soil mulch, this evaporation is stop
ped and that moisture saved in the

Why Women Prefer Evening Theatrical
Performances to Matinees.

In the December American Magazine,
Edna Ferber writing another Of her
! Emma McChesney stories, says that no
women but girls OF sixteen and confirmed
old maids and travelling mems wifes want
to 90 to a matinee in preference to an
evening performance. Special stress is
laid on the travelling mans wife, who
has to 90 to a matinee rather than an
evening performance because of her hus-
bands absence. She goes on to say
"Do you think any woman goes to
matinees by preference Matineel Say,
would you ever hesitate to choose be-
tween an all-day train and sleepy It's
the same idea. What woman calls 60
ing to the theatre is something very diff
ferent. 1t means taking nap in the
afternoon, so her eyes will be bright at
night, and then starting at about five
o'clock to dress, and lay her husbands
clean things out on the bed. She loves
it, She even enjoys getting his bath
towels ready, and putting his shaving
things where he can lay his hands on
'em. and telling the girl to have dinner
ready promptly at six-thirty. 1t means
getting out her good dress that hangs
in the closet with cretonne bag cover
ing it, and her black satin coat, and her
diamond sunburst that he's going to have
made over into q La Valliere just as
soon as business Is better. She loves
it ALL and her cheeks get pinker and
pinker, so that she really doesn't need
the little dash OF rouge that she puts
on because everybody does it, don't you
know? She gets ready, all but her dress,
and then she puts on a kimono and slips
out to the kitchen to make the gravy
for the chicken because the girl never
can get it as smooth as he likes it,.
That's part of what she calls going to
theatre, and having husband. And if
there are ehildren-and for her sake
hope there will beshe's father and
mother to them She brings them up,
single handed, while he's on the road.
And the worst she can do is to say to
them, just wait until your father gets
home He'll hear of this But shucks
When he comes home he can't whip the
kids for what they did seven weeks be-
fore, and that they're forgotten all about,
and for what he never saw, and can't
imagine. Besides, he wants his comfort
when he gets home. He says he wants
little rest and peace, and he's darned
If he's going to run around evenings.
Not much, he isn't! But he doesn't OBJ

cook all those little things that he's

The Habit of Cheerfulness.

You won't have long to wait for it,

that it grows daily harder to earn the

determined to be cheerful against no
mind to do without some of the accus-

must haves," polish your own boots,
and walk once in while Just to see
how it feels to save carfare. Smile
readily and cheerfully, and. believe me,
the muscles soon get used to it, and it
does not hurt. Dress neatly, sing mer-
rily, and hustle. The world has too
many troubles Of its own to be inter-
ested even mildly in the daily complain

couraging word to the down hearted,
smile on your tradesmen and the pub
lie servants with whom you come in

MUSHROOMS IN OLD oUARRIEs.
he Abandoned Underground Passages
Used Near Paris.

The tourist who for the first time
isits the southern and western plains
{ the suburbs of Paris = sure to be
iuzzled by certain quadrangular wood
towers rising out of the ground.
Fhat still more excites his curiosity are
ne clouds Of smoke that occasionally
scend from these strange structures
ALTERED over waste grounds, cultivated
fields and gardens.
They do not, as one might suspect,
serve as housings for the secret prose-
cution of business of a criminal or ques-
tionable nature, but are simply shafts
for ventilation Of old quarries that are
at present used for the cultivation Of
mushrooms. There is good reason for
the belief that this culture originated
in France in the latter half of the eigh-
teenth century, and that at the outset
the kitchen gardeners who engaged in
it in the spring and fall considered it
as a natural adjunct to their business
Then, century ago, a horticulturist
named Chambray conceived the idea Of
devoting the abandoned subterranean
quarries to their culture, since in them
are found the conditions of tempera
ture and humidity favorable to the de-
velopment OF the fungus.
He succeeded thus in making hand
some profit, with the consequence that
he had many imitators, who have tried
to lease all the excavations abandoned
by the quarry men, so that the mush-
room industry soon became one of the
most prosperous Of the environs of Paris.
AT present the suburban mushroom ex
ploitations are almost exclusively. dis
tributed over the left bank of the Seine,
in the section comprised between Meu-
don and Ivry.
The galleries are excavated in lime
stone, as at Carriere- Saint-Denis; in
gypsum, as at ArgenteuI or in white
clay, as at Meudon and the oldest of
them those from which the architects of
the Middle Ages took the stone and
plaster that enable them to erect the
public buildings Of Parisl, form a laby
rinth of low and narrow chambers in
which the workmen often can scarcely
move without STOPPING. But the more
modern explorations consist of spacious
galleries, of which the roof is support
ed by strong pillars sawed out of the
rock itself. Here the mushroom culti-
vator exercises his sombre profession at
his ease.
There exist in the department of the
Seine about $50 mushroom installations
owned by eighty individuals, not count
ing a score of Others distributed through
the neighboring departments. The num-
Der Of workmen employed in the indus
try exceeds 1000, and the total value
Of the mushrooms annually produced in
the suburbs Of Paris amounts to IL
100000 francs.-From Country Lie IN
