Tho Fronch peasant wastes nothing. Leaves of trees are collccted for bedding for tho cattle, and in years of leanness are used as fodder. Ho gathers the mushrooms of tho fields and the edible fungi of the woods, and finds a ready market for such waste products as the nnts of the wayside hazels, or the blao berries of the heaths. Ho snares small birds, whether they are famous for song or plumage.—" Country Life."
