London in latge quantities 18 riehly Sonit mented with badges for service merit Scarcely a redcoat is seen whose arm is not adorned either with the crossed rifios for markmanship, the crossed swords for gymnasium instruction, €the pioneers crossed axes, or the good conduct badge.

Through inquiries made by a Dally Mail representative the reason for this boom in badges has been discovered, and it is simple vanity, for many of the badges have not been won or earned. If Tommy Atkins had not yet gained a sleeve orna- ment to display on furlough he will buy one and stitch it on his tunic. If he be leaving Aldershot for instance, he enters the train an ordinary soldier and by the aid of a needle and thread and a comrade, perhaps, he ieaves the station at London " m—Weather | { | South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Ala- bama, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, Vir- ginia, Arkansas, North Carolina and Ten- nessee, the States having drawn out of the Union in the order named.

Subsequent _to the breaking out of the war West Virginia and Nevada were ad- rsr;ltzed into the Union and were loyal ates. COIN QUESTIONS—J. C., Vancouver, B. C.; 8. H. 8, Mrs. M. H,, City; M. A. McL., Marshfield, Or.; and Subscriber, San Jose, Cal. The coinage of silver half dimes ceased-in 1873, act of February 12; the only silver half-dimes that command a premium are those issued in 1794-95-96-97; 1800-01-02-03-04-05, 1838 without stars, 1846. There is no premium offered for a $§ gold piece of 1846 nor for a 32 30 piece of 1850. “The selling price of the former is $7 50 and of the latter $4 50. The figures in the letter of inquiry are not as clearly made as they should be. If the writer has a 50-cent piece of 1827 then the coin, if in good condition, will bring a premium of from $30 to $50, but if the date is 1829 then the coin is worth but 50 cents. 3 A half-dollar of 1809 does not command a premium. If the half-dollar of 1853 you have is one with arrows at the date and rays around the eagle it does not command & premium, but if it is without arrows at date or rays around the eagle it will command a pre- mium of $20 to $30. TIDE AND OVERFLOWED LANDS— Subscriber, Eureka, Cal. Tide land is such land as is affected by the tide; land which is alternately covered and left dry by the ordinary flux and reflux of the tides. Swamp and overflowed lands are within the meaning of the act of Congress of September 28, 1850, granting swamp and overflowed lands to the States, such lands as periodically over- flow at seasons of sowing and harvesting and are rendered unfit for the eultivation of the staple crops. The question, “What does each produca in an unimproved state?”’ is too general to admit of an answer. If the inquiry is limited to- a particular district or local- ity the information can probably be fur- nished. 4 Swamp and overflowed lands were ac- quired by the act of Congress of 1850 to enable the State to dispose of it to such as wish to buy and reclaim the same. As to what rights you would have in the matter of filing on such lands in Cali- fornia, you would have to communicate with the office of the Surveyor-General at Sacramento. CHAMPAGNE—M. R. V. City. The dis- covery of champagne is said to be due to a Benedictine monk named Perigon, who in 1668 was made cellarer. In pursuing the duties of his position he hit upon the idea of “marrying” the different wines pro- duced in the vineyard; one he noted had fragrance, another imparted generosity and the blackest were found to produce a white wine that kept good instead of turning ;ellow, as that made from white grapes, The white or gray wines of cham- agne became famous, and the wine from gls district, Hautviller, the most famous of all. Perigon also discovered that the old stopper of flax dipped in oil could be replaced with cork. e finally evolved the eflervesclnfi wine that was far more pleasant than the old style still wine. The King gave the seal of royal apgroval to the new discovery. Le Marquis de Sillery at a supper introduced the wine into the court circle. The flower wreathed bottles which, at a glven signal, a dozen bloom- ing damsels, draj in the guise of Bacchanals, placed upon the table, wera hailed with rapture. Thenceforth spark- ling wines were an indispensable unct to all the court suppers of the period. MUSHROOM GARDENING—A. O. 8., City.

It is then built into rounded beds four feet wide and from a foot to four feet in height, according to the fancy of the planter. It is built up of alternate layers of the manure and clayey loam. If made high the layers of manure are one foot in thickness and the clay four inches. These are made into beds, as they are called, from ten to fifty feet in_length, They are covered by a shed. When the beds are made they are covered with either straw or hay for ten days, after which that is removed and an inch thick of very fine loam is placed on the bed. On this is planted the spawn, broken into pieces the size of a walnut, in rows siX Inches apart. Then the spawn is covered with another inch of fine loam or mold. If the mold is too dry it is sprinkled with tepid water, and in about lve or six weeks the mushrooms appear.
