BILLS of IMPORTANCE.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The new
congress up to this time has been
an unusually conservative one in the
matter of proposing new legislation.
Fewer bills than usual have been in
troduced, and most of those are similar
to bills which failed to pass the last
congress. Mr.. Washington, of Ten
nessee, today reintroduced the bill for
an appropriation of 100000 for a gov
ernment exhibit at the Tennessee CEN
tennial exposition, to be held in Nash
vile in 1896. Petitions for the admis-
sion of Oklahoma, Arizona and New
Mexico to statehood again made their
appearance. The first bill introduced
by Mr.. Mcclellan, of New York, who
is one of the young Democrats and a
son of Ger. Mcclellan, was one to au-
therize the senate to confirm military
nominations made by President Linz
coin which have never been acted
upon, and the issue of commissions to

Mushrooms as Foo In Euro ne.

AS an article of food mushrooms aro
becoming more widely and fayorably
known each year. Immense quanti-
ties are grown for market in caves
near Paris, some of tho beds being
seven miles long. One grower has
twenty.one miles of mushrooms grow
ing at Merry. In Italy the truhe.bels
are so valuable that they are guarded
as carefully as are game preserves in
England. But the poachers, quite
equal to the necessity, train their dogs
to go among the beds, dig up those
mushrooms of marketable value, and
bring them ont to the edge, where
they are waiting to receive them.
Mushrooms bring in revenue of
$40, 900 a year to Rome, and NJ.
Roques calls the despisod toadstools
the 'manna OF the poor.
Mr.. Julius Palmer, our own author
ity on mushrooms, says: "Were the
poorer classes of Russia, Germany,
Italy or France to see our forests dur
ing the autumn rains. they would
feast on tho rich food there going to
waste. For this harvest requires no
seed time and asks for no peasants
toll. At the same time the value oi
mushroom diet ranks second to meal
alone. America is one OF the richest
countries il mushroom food. st

Interesting mrpno,!e Experiments.

DIR. A. A. d'Ancona has developed
into quite a successful hypnotist. He
entertained the students in the Dental
College with an exhibition OF his
hypnotic powers last evening. The
exhibition was given in the lecture
room OF the college in the Donohue
building and proved one Of the most
interesting and amusing entertain
ments that could possibly be i'm
agined.
Three young men who are subject
to the hypnotic influences OF DR..
d'Ancona aided the professor Of physi.
ology in his exhibition. Two OF the
young men are students. The third
is the agent Of blackboard company,
and one day, few weeks since, he
happened in the lecture room while
DIR. dAncona was delivering lecture
to the students. At the hypnotic ex-
hibition last evening DIR. d'Ancona
placed the young man under his mes
meric influence and made him repeat
from memory the lecture ms he had
heard il. At DIR. d'Ancona's request
several people in the audience at
tempted to interrupt him in the mid
die of his recital, but without effect.
The exhibition was full of amusing
incidents. All three of the subjects
were placed in chairs on the platform
and hypnotized. The doctor then
told that when he counted three no
would disappear through the ceiling,
and NJ the same time n fountain of
five-dollsr gold pieces would spring
into existence in the middle OF the
floor. Two of the young men nearly
came to blows in their eagerness to
corral the stream of gold pieces, and
were restrained from hurting each
other only by physical force.
A barber shop scene, in which two
OF the doctors subjects were lathered
with chalk aud shaved with pencil
by the third young man proved highly
amusing. To prove how completely a
person under the influence of hypno-
tism can be controlled by the operator
DIR. d'Ancona prevailed upon one of
the young men to believe that he had
| lost oil feeling in his right hand below
the'wrist. Persons in the audience
were permitted to prod his hand with
penlniyss but the prodding failed to
produce the slightest indication of
pain or feeling. Dozens of other ex-
periments were made, and the students
were kept in continual round OF
merriment and surprise for over two
hours. Francisco Chronicle.

A Tramp, a sparrow and "Cop."

He sat slouchingly upon the end of
the park bench, his head hang ing list
lessly over his breast. There was
complete detection in his attitude.
An old hat that resembled piece of
"culls" in a rag shop lay on the
ground, where it had faller from his
head. On one foot was an old felt
slipper, and on the other an old rid
ing boot with the top cut off. His
trousers and coat were OF dull,
mottled gray that comes from hard
rear and dust. Twice had he been
moved on by the sparrow cop" and
he had made his way to bench that
was secluded and shaded by tree.
He had gone to sleep.
In the tree the sparrows hoped and
twittered in the shade of the foliage.
Suddenly through the branches came
twisting a tiny featherling, striving
hard to make its tender wings bear up
the weight of its body. 1t tailed, and
feel on the graveled walk at the old
tramp's feet, stunned aud breathing
with difficulty. Something caused
the tramp to open his eyes, and they
lit on the little sparrow. He looked
at it stupidity for a minute. Then
drawing his hand across his forehead
he leaned over and picked it up ten
DERBY. He gazed ut it in wondering
way, and then gazed up at the branches
of the tree, where the mother bird
futtered aud chirruped in fright.
He drew the bench little closer to
the tree and climbed upon it. That
put him within reach of the lower
limb. He laid tho little bird carefully
on a forked branch, and with a
strength surprising in one SO appar-
emily feeble he drew himself up and
sat on the limb. Above him, but with
in reach, he saw nest. 1t was tipped
over so that he could see in it two
downy bits of birds like the one he
had. He gently placed the bird he
carried in the nest, lot himself down
to the ground, drew the bench back to
its original place and turned to go
just as "gray coat" called out to him
