A Mushroom Bed.

We have called attention heretofore to
the ease with which this valuable table
delicacy can be produced il little care
and attention arc devoted To their cul-
ture. The following is one method Of
making a mushroom bed:
In a pine box about twenty inches in
depth, and three feet square, place four
inch stratum of a mixture OF three parts
of dry COW manure and one part of gar
den soil Having procured some muSh
room spawn, Oresk II mp and SOW il in a
second stratum Of manure and earth two
inches in depth. Slightly compress the
whole and cover with an eight-inch layer
of earth, which should be kept damp by
watering through fine nose nozzle.
''In six or eight weeks the first crop Of
mushrooms will appear at the surface,
and will continue to do so far at least two
years, provided the bed is kept damp.
"A small quantity OF aqua ammonia
added TO the water with which the bed
is mOiStened will hasten the appearance
OF the fungi.
The box should be placed by prefer
ence In place where the light is not 90
bright. say In a cellar in which the tenn
perature is moderate and eQuabe, or in a
dark part of a stable"

Beef Cattle Killed.

Statistics of beef cattle slaughtered at
the principal points show that in 1894 the
number killed at Chicago, Kansas City,
Omaha and st. Louis was 100000. In
nearly 100 per cent, in five years, while
in 1890 the figure reached 1878, 900, which
showed gain for the five years OF over
ITO per cent. But large as these figures
are for the census year, the returns for
1893 show total slaughter of beef cattle
at the places named OF 100000 head.
For the calendar year 1893 our exports OF
beef, canned, sailed, fresh or otherwise,
including tallow, amounted to 1853, l49, OS4

set the new duties in operation not later
than Sept l, while possibly leaving the
sugar duty subject 10 further change.
This course is so manifestiy the most
eligible on grounds of parry policy, and
so clearly the best way out OF the extra
ordinary complications that it seems en-
tirely probable that a few more days will
bring this struggle within sight Of its end.
II therefore seems safe to regard this
hitch in tariff legislation as only temper
airy and to calculate upon the new tariff
taxing effect at d comparatively early
day, with the effects that have heretofore
been expected as likely to attend the new
state of things
The onething the country now impa-
uently waits for, as a condition prece-
dent to q more complete restoration of
confidence, is the adjournment Of con-
gress. The continued persistence OF the
outward Bow of gold, however, suggests
one measure of protection to the public
finances which should by all means re-
celve attention before ad -OUrnment. The
treasury gold reserve is now close upon
e6O,OOO,OOO, which is but II per cent. Of
Its note obligations. How much further
the drain may be carried it is impossible
TO say; nor is there any assurance how
far the banks may be disposed to help the
govemment under these circumstances
The really serious fact is that the govern
ment has virtually ceased to receive
any gold through its customs revenue.
All outgo and no income is the
present condition, and such a situation
should not be tolerated one day longer
than is absolutely inevitable. Neglect Of
taking proper action is all the more culp-
able because the danger is easy of rem
edy. Congress has the power to decree
that fixed portion of the customs duties
shall be paid in gold, leaving the remain
der TO be paid in that metal or in the pa
per money now legally available for that
purpose. Should a law be passed reQuir-
ing IS per cent. of the duties to be liqui-
dated in gold, the treasury would receive
100 mills per annum more gold revenue
than it Is now getting, which would at
once build up the gold reserve and enable
the government to meet the export de-
mand without difficulty. 1t does seem
that a remedy so simple and so entirely
unob1ectionable should be brought to the
attention of congress by the Secretary of
the Treasury and urged for immediate
adoption.

business it is to use every effort to cap
ture this red-handed murderer are very
tardy-so much so, that it is causing gen.

BAD BOYS OF BUG ALLEY.
How They Spoiled a Pleasant Little
Social Event in Louisville.

How They Spoiled a Pleasant Little
Social Event in Louisville.
From the Louisville (Ky.) Courier. Journal
1t was all intended for Joke, for the
young men who live and loaf in Bug Alley
were not accustomed to seeing women
taking bath in the canal, but the truth
of it was that the women came very near
not finding their clothes. and if they had
not three women and man would have
had to remain in the cool water of the
canal all night
DIR. Thomas McAboy lives with his
family on Twelfth street, between Gray
son and Walnut. He is a good, honest
man, and one of the most widely known
spiritualists in the city, and large prop
erty owner. Wednesday evening the
weather was sultry, and DR.. McAboy and
his family sat about the house in the
sweltering heat wondering how they
could get cool. Finally it was proposed
to take bath in the canal. The plan met
with favor at once, ana it was not long be-
fore several discarded wrappers and
other articles Of wearing apparel were
found Then DR. McAboy, his daughter
and two other young women started for
the canal Between Eleventh and Twelfth
streets was selected, and they disrobed in
the darkness. This was about s :30o'clock.
The street clothes which the party had
worn to the canal were placed in a heap
in the high weeds which grow at this
point
Then there was much splashing and a
general good time in the water. All the
young women wanted to learn how to
swim. The water was cool and iuvigor-
atlng, and bathing in the canal was a de-
cided novelty In about an hour il was
time to go home, for all were thoroughly
cooled of. When the spot where the
clothes had been left was reached il was
seen that they were gone. At that time
all We're clothed in bewilderment and
were wearing anything but pleasant
smiles. 1t had turned cooler, too for the
wind which swept up the river sent a chill
through the thin wrappers and thinner
trousers. There seemed to be little help
for 1t. The clothes were gone, that was a
certainty. How to recover them was the
thing. Finally they concluded that there
must be some mistake; that they were
mistaken about the spot where the clothes
were left Then all began searching Wig
orously. In about an hour, or about the
time that fire would have been luxury,
the pile Of clothing was found, and it is
needless to say that it was put on as soon
as possible. It is said that the clothes
were never moved at all; that DR.. Nc
Abby and his relatives only forgot where
they had placed them. But had DIR. Nc
Alloy listened closely he would have
heard various chuckling and much sup
pressed laughter from some adjacent
high weeds. AS already stated, the
young men who live in the neigh borhood
were not familiar with women bathers.
It was novelty 10 them.
