The delicious field mushrooms which
begin to spring up in the pastures as
early as the last two weeks of August
and continue throughout September
and part of October, make good
pickle. The old southern rule for put
ting them up is as follows: Take two
quarts of small button mushrooms.
Peel them and throw them into salt
and water for five minutes, and then
drain them. Add to quart of good
cider vinegar an ounce of bruised gin
ger root. Green ginger is the best, but
the dried root viii do in this case. Add
also half an ounce of mustard seed and
the same amount of white pepper. Add
a tablespoonful of salt and sprinkle
in about a saltspoonful of cayenne
pepper. Let the vinegar boil for min
ute, then add the mushrooms, and sim
mer them five minutes. Put them in
bottles, dividing the space. They are
an excellent pickle to serve with boiled
fish.-N. Y. Tribune.

The kaiser Criticised.

1t is singular that Kaiser Wilhelm
should not have made any allusion to
the manly and noble Won Motke dur
ing the whole Of his funeral speech
flying. It was all my glorious grand
father and Bismarck. The former
was undoubtedly a very amiable and
estimable old gentleman, devoted to
opera dancers, but there was less in
him to admire than there was in Will
liam's father, Emperor Frederick.
whom he always carefully abstains
from mentioning. Won Moltke was the
real hero Of the Franco-Prussian war,
without whom neither Bismarck nor
'smy glorious grandfather" would have
attained to the greatness Of reputa~
tion in which they died s->~~

Large versus Small warship..

One argument that has been made
In favor of building comparatively
large number Of small warships rather
than smaller number of large vessels,
with large crews, is that the smaller
ones afford the greatest number of in
dependent commanders and oppor-
tunities Of training for command. Be
tween 1872 and 1883 76 sea-going fight
ing ships were launched for the British
navy, varying in displacement between
430 and 1000 tons, and the number of
men and officers in these ships ranged
from SO, in the smallest, to 220 in the
largest. These ships were TO be found
all over the world. Admirals, captains
and leading officers of to-day were all
trained in them, and splendidly
trained. These ships, however, have
been displaced in recent years by
larger vessels, with larger crew., max
ing for each command larger claims on
naval estimates and on the reserve of
men. Some of the foremost authori-
ties now lean to the opinion that too
much trust is placed in big ships and
too little in the skill, enterprise and
valor which may be had in the direc;
tion and management of ship Of mod
crate size. To multiply such smaller
ships is to multiply the chances Of get
ting good men in command. Piling up
armor and guns condemns many such
men to subordination to their inferi-
ors. -Cassier's Magazine.

Systematic chestnut growing prom
ises to be an important industry in
this country. It Is now about q com
tury since the emigre ancestor OF the
powder-malsing Du Points imported
from his native France some varieties
Of the European chestnut. He lived
on the banks Of the Brandywine, near
Wilmington, Del., and thence distrib-
uted European chestnuts tolfis friends
aud to others interested in tree cul-
tire. To this day there are more Eu-
iropean chestnuts in the region within
100 miles of Philadelphia than any
where else in the country.
1t was quite three-quarters of cen
fury after Du Points importation of
European chestnuts that Japanese
chestnuts began to attract attention
in this country, and again the region
about Philadelphia became the center
of interest. Probably the largest
grove of Japanese chestnuts in Amer
lea is situated near Cleminton, N. j..
is miles from Philadelphia. Here a
tract of land 500 acres in area is
given over to the culture of these
trees. The tract was originally for
est of native American chestnut trees.
They were all cut down, and after the
young shoots from the roots of the
felled trees had grown two years they
were grated with the japanese chest
nut. In from two to three years the
grated trees began to bear, and at
the end of ten years they were yielding
as much as half bushel of chestnuts
to tree. The orchard, if such 1t may
be called, is crudely cultivated with a
rough harrow, and the fallen leaves
are permitted to rot and enrich the
ground.
The European and the Japanese
chestnuts are vastly larger than the
native American chestnuts, but by
no means so sweet in the raw
staSe. When cooked, however, they
are very palatable. They are used
not only for the enlivenment of Hal

What's the use to wasteso much
valuable space as some Of our ter
ritorial newspapers are doing in
fighting the latest lie sent out from
Wichita, which stated that the
squaw men, to the extent of twenty
thousand, had been ordered out Of
the territory by the Dawes COM
mission? 1t will only be a few
days until some lie equally as fool
ish will be telegraphed to the great
(?) newspapers, they will swallow
itandell these Mysteries will have
to be gone over with again. We
have learned to look philosophic-
ally upon these matters. The
newspapers seem to want this sort
of stuff. They have been warned
time and time again that their cor
respondents were simply working
off a lot Of sensational lies, that
made their sheets the laughing
stock Of this country, but the city
papers have paid no attention to
the warning, keep the same cor
respondents in their employ and
publish the most sensational stuff
that they send in. "Let them
alone; they are joined to their
idols" is the only thought that
now enters our mind when we see
one Of these sensational lies.

from which they make " sich and

The Japanese chestnute rfpen about
the middle Of September; the Euro-
pean chestnut two or three weeks
later. When the former ffst come
into the market they fetch from ten
to fourteen dollars a bushel. When
the European chestnuts come into
market the price falls to six or eight
dollars q bushel, and at tae height Of
the season the native American chest
nuts fetch only three or four dollars
bushel, in spite Of their excellent
flavor. The higher price OF the for
eign varieties seems to be due solely
to their great size.
In view OF the new interest In the
chestnut as an article Of food, and
therefore of industrial Importance,
scientific agriculturists are making
careful study Of the tree and its fruit.
The great enemy Of the nut Is the
unpleasantly familiar worm known as
the chestnut weevil. He, too, Is un-
der scientific investigation, and the
best method Of destroying him is being
made o subject Of special study. A
blight that is destroying the chestnut
leaves is also attracting the attention
of scientific agriculturists. In the
course of these Investigations Ameri-
can men OF science have been in cor
respondence with botanists not only
in England, Spain and Italy, but even
in Japan.--N. Y. Sun.

\ Some Of the English sea captains OF
the last century received immense
sums of prize money during the wars
with Spain and France Commodore
Anderson in one cruise captured Span
ish vessels worth 81. 5.0OO,00O, Of which
his share was $3.50, 900. Capt. James
Talbot realized 5000, 900 for himself In
12 months. Capt. Pownal's share from
one Spanish treasure ship in 1862 was
1925 900; his three lieutenarts Is received
s65.00o each, and $500, 900 went to the
admiralAnd flag officers on the station,
though not present at the capture.
Those were the days when spanish
ships were loaded with treasure

The most important event that
is expected to transpire soon in the
Indian country is the vote upon
the ratification of the treaty with
the Creeks that is to take place
the first day of next month. 1t is
importaut and far reaching in its
scope. 1t changes the title of
some million acres of land from a
common Indian title to an individ-
ual6 one. Every Creek adult cit
izen will have 1850 acres Of land
free from all incumbrance and
with power to sell or convey with
out restriction. The fullblood
Greeks as q general thing are op-
posed to the change and will most
of them vote against it, but the
pasture owners and the noncitizen
ele ement favor it as it will doubt
less mean a boom for the country
and especially for the towns. The
agreement will no doubt be ratifi-
ed.
