FALL AND WINTER
CARM ENTS.

Special attention is called to this de-
partment as we believe all previous
efforts have been entirely eclipsed by
the display of elegant Fur, Plush and
Astrachan trimmed Garments, in Plain
and Brocade Silk, Ottoman, Armure,
Paletois, Cordinet, Plush, New Market,
Havelock, and Diagonal Worsted Dol
mans, Sacks, ClOaks and Jackets, for
Ladies, Misses and Children, received
direct from the leading New York
manufacturers and at lower prices than
last season. Don't miss the oppOrtu-
nifty of seeing these goods before pur-
chasing.

While Charles Cross was at work
on the NOyes building one day last
week, spent shot struck him upon
the bare neck quite smartly, making IA
mark which could be seen several days
afterwards. The shot hit one of the
show windows and CHANGING struck
Cross. 1t is supposed to have come
from some gunner who was shooting
at birds within the limits of the vii
lage, contrary to law and the peace OF
the state.

introduction by Prof. Putney, last Fri
day evening. His subject was "Native

John Bright and Victor Hugo as illus
trious examples of his subject, he
elaborated an address of an hour and
half which was well filled with good
sentiment, apt and well told stories,
delivered in an entertaining and elo-
quent manner. Mr.. Bruce's style is
finished and pleasing, and the audience
showed their appreciation by frequent
applause.

A Profitable Hut Neglected Industry
How TO Go AboutIt.
National Repu6ltoda.
An uudeyeloped industry in the United
States is the cultivation Of mushrooms.
This vegetable, known as the Agenicus
Campalus, grows abundantly in many
parts Of the country, and iR fast becoming
favorite on our tables. But as it only
makes its appearance in the autumn, the
consumption is limited to that season.
There are great variety OF vegetable
fungi, but people are rather chary OF using
them because there are known to be poiE.
onous species which they cannot readily
distinguish from the good. Many mush-
rooms are eaten out Of the bearing season
in this country, but these are Of foreign
growth. Many thousands Of acres
are under mushroom cultivation
near Paris and in other parts OF
France. Besides supplying the home mar.
ket, these cultivators have large surplus oil
production for expectation. Many parts OF
Europe are supplied from these sources,
and large quantities reach New York from
these farms They are regarded as curiosi.
ties in the neighborhood and attract many
visitors. Large fees are demanded and
paid frequently for the exhibition OF the
larger heads. The descent is made to the
mushroom farms by ladders, and the in
spection made by lamplight, as the places
in which they are grown are always dark.
The French mushroom is sold in New
York often at one dollar and quarter per.
pound, and sometimes above that price; but
no country presents greater facilities for
their cultivation than this.
All that Is required is o PLACE excluding
light, with an even temperature. These
conditions are filed in the many caves in
Virginia, Maryland and Kentucky. a
part Of Virginia and Kentucky is honey.
colnbed with caves, many OF which remain
unex plored, because there has heretofore
been no sufficient inaucement for their ex.
ploratlon. Moot Of these caves will no
doubt be found admirably adapted to mush.
room culture. Nothing is needed except
stable refuse and rich woods earth. The
planting and gatheringgive but littletrouble
anda long series OF crops Is made from sin.
ole sowing. The mushroom can becultiya-
led and put on the market At comparatively
triiling cost, and the foreign article, which
is SO Costly, could not compete with the
domestic product. The culture OF the
MUSHROOM on limited scale has been sue
cessiuIy attempted on, the borders OF the
Hudson river. These products are as good
as the imported, and find ready sale In the
New York market, An experiment was
also made in Mammoth Gave, n.y., ahopt Q
year since, which was entirely successful
a. far as the product Of mushrooms OF fine
size and quality was concerned. It Is hard
" probable that such promising industry
for this country can be much longer negs

SoteS aud queries,
This name disappeared among US about
1879, but never became common until pop.
ularized by Queen Anne, Of Bohemia, in
1881. Until English became the tongue
usually spoken in England, Of course the
name can only be found in Its French and
Latin forms Of Anne and Anna. But
from 1881 downward until the accession Of
the house OF Hanover at the earliest, the
form In which we find it is always Anne.
Tho ugly form Ann is purely the growth Of
that tasteless eighteenth century which
also locked the final in Blanche" and
vainly tried to evolve "Catharin. 1t did,
alas, succeed in substituting Betsy for Bes-
sy. The often extravagant and sometimes
silly estheticism OF the present day Is to
some extent rebound from the dreary ug-
illness Of that unitarian age. Queen Anne
occasionally signed her name as Anna,
but, bad speller though she was, l will
venture to assert that she never perpetrat.
ed the enormity OF signing Ann.
