Comparatively little jewelry was
worn by the early people of the United
States. A few men had gold or silver
sleeve buttons, Il few women had
bracelets or loclets, nearly all of any
social standing had rings, which were
chiefly mourning rings. AS these
gloomy ornaments were given to all
the chief mourners Mt funerals, it can
be seen that man Of large family
connections, or OF prominent social
standing, might acquire n great many
Of them. The minister and doctor usu-
ally had a ring at every funeral they
attended. 1t was told of an old Salem
doctor who died in 1853, that he had
tankard full of mourning rings
which he had secured at funerals. Men
sometimes wore thumb rings. which
seems no queerer than the fact that
they carried muffs.

Women Who Cultivate Mushrooms.

Women Who Cultivate Mushrooms.
One Of the latest fads of well-to do
people is mushroom growing, and
many women are said to have started
small mushroom farms in the cellars
of the houses In which they live, and
intend thereby to add very consider
ably to their pin money. 1t Is esti-
mated that a fifteen-foot bed should
give about ninety pecks OF mushrooms
in three months. The cost of the bed
is about $40. The mushrooms sell or
dinarily for seventy-five cents peck,
bringing $67.50, thus making gain
to the farmer of $3.50 on the undertake
ing. An expert says that the things
necessary for success in mushroom
growing are, first the cellar in which
they are to be grown, which must be
so arranged that the plants can be
kept at temperature OF from sixty to
seventy degrees; second. good ventila-
ton, as plenty of fresh air is essen
tial, and, thirdly, arrangements for
keeping the soil constantly moist,
Good manure, rich In phosphate,

which IL possible should be built on
a damp floor. A bed fifteen feet long
will require two loads. The mush-
room spawn can be had in bricks from
the florist or nurseryman. The tenn
perature of the bed must be tested and
no planting must be done until 1t is
below ninety-five degrees. Then the
bricks can be broken in half-inch
pieces and distributed evenly over The

when the Puss Gets Her Back Up.

1t is not anger alone that makes cats
arch their backs. Indeed, when two
cats are preparing to fight they do not
assume this attitude, but crouch low.
just as they do when about to spring
on their prey, the body being extended
and the hair not In the least erect.
But when. on meeting dog suddenly,
fear is combined With anger then the
cat, standing at Its full height, at once
arches its back. with an instructive eff
fort to appear as formidable as posi-
BILE.
Darwin compares II to the similar
attitude of the lynx when attacked and
to that OF birds which rufile their feath-
ers and spread out their wings and
tail when alarmed. II is noticeable
that a cat will also arch its back when
In an effectlonate frame Of mind, rub
bling itself against its mas.aE's leg. At
the same time 1t slightly raises its fur
and holds Its tail erect. Its whole at
titude Is just the reverse of that which
1t assumes when savage.
Darwin accounts for this In the fol-
lowing words: Certain states of mind
lead to certain habltual actions which
are OF no service. Now, when n direct
ly opposite state Of mind is induced,
there is a strong and involuntary
tendency to the performance Of a move
ment of a directly opposite nature,
though 1t may be of no service"

never been claimed that Chsmberlain's
