Methods of Agricultural
College Managers. I
What Might Happen if They
Were Followed Out Here.
An Exploded Notion About Industry
and Thrift of the Ant.

That was great system the board OF
managers OF the College OF Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts had for getting what
IL wanted In the way OF buildings and
additional land. When these gentlemen
thorGht another building would improve
the appearance OF the Kingston farm
they didn't wait to see whether the Gen
eral Assembly took a like view OF the
matter bur went ahead, started the build
ing and then came before the Leg islature
with q demand for the sum required and
backed this demand by the statement
that II the money was not forthcoming
all that had previously been spent would
be q uead loss. This kind of manmuvor-
ing is quite unusual and il Is not at all
surprising that the committee which has
been Investigating the affairs of the
agricultural college has seen fit to con-
denim IL in plain and emphatic language.

our city fathers what a high old time

5 Sores

In combination, proportion and
process Hoods Sarsaparilla is peculiar
to itself, and unequalled in true merit.
No other medicine ever possessed SO
much curative power, or reached such
enormous sales, or made such Won
derful cures, as Hoods Sarsaparilla.
1t is undoubtedly the best medicine
eyer made to purify, vitalize and en-
rich the blood.
That Is the secret OK its success.

"The dollar of our daddies' is on ex-
preston frequently heard, yet how many
people know its meaning. Ask any ten
people you meet and II you find one who
can give you the information you VIII
do better than the average man who
undertakes such quest. The common
notion is that the phrase refers to any
dollar issued by the government which Is
redeemable in gold, but that Is an error.
II really refers TO the silver dollars
coined under the act OF 1892. Speaking
OF silver dollars recalls some interesting
facts about their size and weight The
"dollar OF our daddies" contained 4l6
grains of silver, was exactly one inch and
a half in diameter and S0-1000 OF an inch
thick. The trade dollar contained four
grains more of silver, or 40 grains, was
of tile same diameter, but $4,000 OF an
inch In thickness. The present standard
dollar has only 412.5 grains of silver, hut
is of the same diameter and thickness as
the "dollar of our daddies."

Out in the country yesterday the Cos
siper met farmer who appears to re a
very close observer, at least he talked as
IL he were and he came near knocking
some previously entertained notions into
a cooked hat. For instance, the Gossiper
has always believed that the ant was one
of those provident creatures that makes
provision Tor the winter by storing up a
big food supply. Indeed, the ant has al
ways been held up as pattern of industry
and thrift and the injunction "go to the
ant, thou sluggard," or words to that
effect are remembered by every school
boy, especially IL he betrays disposition
to cut lessons or play truaDt. But the
observing agricultural says the ant Is an
overrated creature, that he has been en-
joying distinction that doesn't belong.to
him, for not only does he not lay up a
supply of food for the winter, bnt that he
goes to sleep when cold weather sets in
aud doesn't wake up again until the sun
warns him into life and activity

This isn't very appropriate season In
which to talk about skates or skating,
but IL Is worth while to note an inven-
tion that has recently been made which,
II il realizes all the claims made for 1t, IL
bound TO revolutionize the manufacture
OF skates. This Invention is nothing
more nor less than skates made entirely
OF glass. The glass is hardened by a
newly discovered process which renders
1t practically unbreakable. 1t is claimed
that the glass skates are much faster than
those with steel blades and that they will
run almost as well oTer rough, snow
covered ice as upon smooth surface.
They are made very sharp. and because of
their extreme hardness IL is claimed to
be impossible to blunt them. Moreover,
they are declared TO be very beautiful, as
they are made in various colors and the
lady skater can have, skates to match her
costumes, thing heretofore impossible.

The Mushroom Cellar to
Become a Fashionable Fad

To be fashionable nowadays raise mush-
rooms in your cellar. This is the edict
that has been promulgated by the mis-
tress of all things social. Fashion mas de-
cided to take lessons from nature and in
stead of botanizing throughout the rural
districts in the most charming time of the
year will turn her attention to the meth
DDS of growing that most succulent OF ad-
ditions TO the porterhouse steak during
the winter season.
1t is a brand-new idea, so far as the
mansions of wealth and culture are con-
cerned. Heretofore the cellars have been
supposed to be foored with cement and
the temperature kept at q comfortable de-
gree when the weather outside was of tnat
nature which calls for heavy overcoats.
Now, however, all this is changed. Mush-
rooms must be grown in cold cellars, and
hence all cellars must be cold. This new
departure is not the result of mere theory
or faddist notion of some one who seeks
to be odd and thus conspicuous, but is
fathered by no less a parsonage than
David Fraser of Mahwah, N. j., an au-
thority on gardening, whose word is not
to be disputed.
Mr.. Fraser says there is absolutely moth
ing to hinder the growth of mushrooms in
cellars, and that for his part he thinks it
is a very excellent idea indeed. The air
must be dry in the cellar, and the tenn
perature on no account allowed to fall

While everybody who knows anything
at all about eating is thoroughly familiar
with the delicious addition to various
things that the mushroom makes, COM
paratively few of us realize what an art
there is IN growing mushrooms, in bring
ing them to the right condition and thor
oughly ready for the skilliul hands of the
chef. In the first place, to raise mush-
rooms it is necessary to secure what is
known as spawn. Mushrooms bear no re-
lation whatever to fish, but in a virgin
state they have the same name as the tiny
fellows that fill the tanks at the fish hatch
cries.
A host OF people over in England and
France make their living by producing
the mushroom spawn, and large quantities
are imported to the United States every
year. 1t is Just as necessary to procure
good spawn, if it is intended to raise
mushrooms, as it is to procure pug dog
puppy of good blood if it is desired that
he present the best appearance when he
arrives at the age of maturity.
Think of the change this cellar plan
makes for the mushroom. The web
fringe variety is mostly found in the
woods, where it grows from or about
stumps or decaying roots in the ground.
Frequently great clusters protrude from
around the base of posts. There are sew
eral species of the web-fringe. Their caps
are from one to six inches across. They

800. 900 each, as was contended by Attor-
..uev Baggett, who represented Mrs.
Rough. Mr.. Manner made no contest, as
il was. apparently his opinion from the
start that his friend and patron had not
intended to bestow On him fifth of the
entire estate.
During the argument yesterday Mr..
Young drew attention to the habit which
Mr.. Hendy had of omitting ''i'' where it
shouId take the place of ''y" in certain
correctly spelled, but business was writ
ten ''busness" family was written
"famly.'
Other errors in orthograpby noted are
as follows: Dead appears as "ded,'"
death Is "deth," debt is ''det, share Is
''shair," there is "thair," prepare is ''pre,,
pair." were is "wair," aware is 'awair,
freigbt is s.frait," meeting is "meatihg,"
soon is "sune," scarce is ''scairse," do is
s,due" and doing is "dueing."
In many instances Mr.. Hendy was
found TO have written mum bers correctly.
as for example he was right in spelling
five. fifty, twenty-five. eighty-eight, twen-
ty-frst, third, forty. seventy,hVe, three
hundred, three thousand and the ike.
Anxious is often spelled "ankshus,"
mention is s.menshun," machine (Which
word one would expect Mr.. Hendy to be
scnuainted with in its written form) is
nmashean" and salary Is "sallery.
Mr.. Baggett also submitted list OF
words tha had been incorrectly spelled by
MT Hendy in his voluminous corre-
snondence, and it was declared by the
attorney that so grotesque were the tes-
tator's departures from the rules OF or
biography that no argument could logic
aIIv be based on the fact that he some
times did spell some words correctly. Mr..
BaRgett insisted that Mr.. dendy INTENDED
TO give one-fifth of the machine works 10
MRS. Rough and one-ifth to Mr.. Manner.
In summing up the matter Judge Col
few said: my original i'm mpresslon was the
game as Mr. Baggetts, but subsequent
examination and consideration OF al tne
circumstances before the court, and L pre-
sume also a recollection of the testimony
: at the contest OF the Will, have induced
me to depart from that superficial original
impression.
1.-THE conclusion / have come to IS that
the testator, Joshua Hendy, did not IN
tend to give one-ffth of his stock In the
Hendv Machine Works to this LADY, Mrs,
Rough. nor to Mr.. Manner, and that TINS
word spelled 'one-fifteth' IN the will IS IN
tended TO be one-fiftieth, not one-httn.
The court further referred 10 the au-
mitted design of Joshua Hendy 10 perpet-
uate his name in the Joshua Hendy Ma
chine Works, under the control OF the
persons OF that name. If one-t1fth shoulh
be given to Mrs. Rough and one-hfth 10
