That the action of the Massachusetts, Board of
Agriculture in getting up catalogue of aban-
doncd farms was wise is shown by the fact that
the demand therefor has been so large that the
first edition has been exhausted. A new edition
is under way which will contain descriptions of
nine more farms than were mentioned in the
first one For the latter there were over 900
requests received during the first six weeks after
it was issued. They came from nearly every
State in the Union, and likewise from Canada
and England. Not many of the farms described
have yet been sold, but early in the spring II is
expected that number of sales will be effected.
People looking for summer homes OF their own
will find it to their advantage to procure and
examine this catalogue. The second edition will
be small as further additions to the list Of farms
are looked for. Thus far the Board of Agri-
culture has spent only 800 on the work

Though poultry exhibitions in this city have
never achieved the social success which has made
the Horse Show one of the great fashionable
events Of the year. they have always excited
a widespread interest; and the Poultry and
Pigeon Show which is to open in the Madison
Square Garden on Wednesday of his week prom
ises to excel al previous displays in point OF
interest and excellence. The last few years
have witnessed remarkable development Of
intelligent effort in the raising of poultry through
out the United States. Poultry raising is much
more than hobby, though if it were only that
it would be a hobby against which nothing could
be said. 1t has become an industry of vast i'm
portance to the country, whose development adds
largely to the wealth and comfort Of the people.
The coming show, therefore, has solid reasons
for appealing TO the interest Of the public, even
IL the poultry to be exhibited were not them
selves well worth locking at

The letter from our staff correspondent in
the West Indies deals with the important sub
iect of cooie labor When the British Govern
ment fifty years ago decreed emancipation it left
the planters to work out their own salvation.
The coffee industry was generally abandoned
since it was clearly impracticable to compete
with the slave labor Of Brazil. The planters by
concentrating their energies upon the economical
production OF sugar put all their eggs in one
basket. With the common-factory system and
with improved machinery they cheapened the
cost Of manufacture, but under the stress OF COM
petition from European beet-suglr they were com
PEELED to go further and introduce cOolie labor.
The results of the experiment as shown in Trim
dad and Guiana by our correspondent are some
what mixed. Cheap labor from an inferior and
less robust class than the negroes has been Sc
cured, and the sugar industry has been main
tanned but handful of whites is now over
whelned with the responsibility of governing

Delightful NIr. Einstein.

The truly democratic form of our
government, in which zone man is as
good as another" was illustrated in a
little incident at the Capitol the other
day. A subcommittee of the house ap-
preparations committee having charge
of certain branches of the District ex-
penditures had before them recently
that distinguished citizen of the District
of Columbia, the official dog catcher,
known as Poundmaster Einstein, with
the purpose of slicing down his salary
from the princely sum of $1,000 year
to 5000
1t did not slice, however, and one of
the members of the committee explains
their change of heart by saying that be-
fore the examination was concluded Mr..
Einstein so charmed the members of the
committee with his stories of excursions
made with senators in search of black
bass in the streams about Washington
that the question of reducing his salary
was absolutely abandoned.

The Season of Mushrooms.

That delicious fungus growth sclen-
tifically called by a big aid strange name,
but commonly known IS the mushroom,
is just beginning to come plentifully
into the local markets, and they are pre-
pared to stay till late into the fall.
Those which are found in the vege-
table stalls in Washington market are
of artificial culture and are now selling
at about seventy-fve cents pound. A
month ago they brought $1.35 pound,
and a month hence fifty cents or even
less will buy goodly supply of the nu-
tritious and delicious white stemmed
and brown topped fungi.
Said the rudy faced and white apron
ed marketman to me today between the
puffs of his perfecto:
Yes, sell good many mushrooms,
especially during Lent Those that
come in now are raised in lighthouses in
beds underneath the plant shelves and
they come pretty high, although they
are getting down in price lately. have
sold them as high as three dollars a
pound. Later on in the spring we get
them from the farmers and others who
places and even in caves, and during
warm weather men and women and
boys and girls who gather them in
fields and pastures bring them in to the
city. Then we sell them for almost
nothing-as low as ten cents pound
sometimes. Most of our customers who
buy mushrooms are people of means.
and although we sell great quantities of
them, the people as whole don't seem
to appreciate and understand them, as /
should think they would"
The jolly marketman is right, for
mushrooms are not appreciated as they
should be. Many people have eaten
mushrooms only when the canned arti-
Gle has been served sprinkled sparingly
over a steak. There is vast difference
between the canned mushroom and the
crisp, fresh and appetizing fungus that
one can now buy in any of the large
markets.-New York Telegram.

in the room became terrific, and those
jammed against the walls were In actual
danger of suffocation or being squeezed
to death. The attendants quite lost their
heads, and very tragic consequences were
only averted by the presence of mind
shown by one gentleman, who succeeded
IN climbing on the window sill. opening
the window and jumping out. A number
OF men standing near made their escape
in the same undignified manner, and at
last the congestion was relieved, strong
language and violent action ceased. aud
