MUCH NEEDED IMPROVEMENT.
A Well-Known Citizen Writes Of the Dangers
Of the Grade Leading to the Selah Valley
and Advocates a Change.

OF the Grade Leading 10 tne sean Naney
and Advocates Change.
EDITOR HERALD: There is piece Of
road called 1.-THE Grade" when uncom-
plimentary names are not used, between
North Yakima and the Selah that has
long been a disgrace to the county. 1t
receives great volume Of travel, as its
frequently congested condition will tes-
tify On Monday of last week four
horse team with its load of hay came
within IAN ace'' OF going over the en-
bankment, and so great was the travel
that the blockade lasted for over an hour,
and it was a miracle that there was not
serious accident and loss of life. The
narrow road was filled with teams from
one end to the other of 1.-The grade" and
as there are but few points where they
can pass abreast, the risk to life, limb
and property is very great, and the stran-
finish.
The grade begins at the county bridge
near the mouth of the Natchez and ex.
tends to tue lower end of the Selah val
ley with steep embsnkment on one side
and a perpendicular declivity for one or
two hundred feet on the other. Those
who look at this road closely wonder
why parts of it have not slipped over on
to the railroad track a hundred feet or
more below. 1t is simply cribbed up
with pieces of shell rock in many places,
and there is nothing better for founda-
ton for this shell rock than dirt and
more she'll rock. Then there are places
where the railroad company has nearly
or quite undermined this side.hill road.
The dangers mentioned are but few of
many. Hundreds of tons of big and lit
tie rock. gravel and dirt are but awaiting
an excuse to come crashing down on a
hack load OF people. Then, too, there is
the danger Of meeting runaway team,
when the number of MANNED or killed
would about equal the number OF people
on the grade. 1t is a terrible condition
to think of, and still more terrible than
Hlost peOple IehilZt, anu YET lnero ID an
easy, level and safe route which can be
obtained. OF course it will take some
money to make the change, but it will
be much cheaper in the end. 1t has
been suggested by an able member of
the board of county commissioners to
move the county bridge, the one referred
to as crossing the Natchez al the south
end OF the grade, TO a point over the
Yakima just below the mouth OF the
Nstchez, and then build bridge across
the Yakima near the north end OF the
grade. Nothing could be done in the
way of public improvement that would
please and benefit a greater number of
citizens, and nearly all of those directly
interested are willing to subscribe liber-
ally to this change, and hope the COM
missoners in their wisdom will see the
necessity OF making it before some hor-
rible casualty occurs which will shock
the country and carry mourning into
many Yakima homes. GEO. II. HULL.

Although an owl is known for its
wisdom it is very seldom that one
finds its way into a court of justice,
where wisdom is always present.
One of these willy creatures did find
Its way into the court room at Towson
the other day. Court was in session,
and Judge Burke sat upon the bench
with knitted brows trying to fathom
some of the intricaces of the law
which was being explained by one of
the legal lights of the county No
sooner had the bird gotten inside the
court room than it at once took in the
situatlonand flying over Judge Burke's
head, perched itself upon the drapery
pole Immediately back of the learned
Judge. Here it sat without moving
a feather, with one eye turned down
ward and fastened upon the move
ments of Judge Burke until court ad-
journed.-Baltimore News.

Light and Health.

NJ. Trelat, well-known authority
on hygiene, recently gave it as his
opinion that the best light for the
house is the slanting light as opposed
to the vertical and the horizontal
lights. According to this view, the
London Lancet points out, houses
should be constructed TO receive the
rays of light at an angle Of thirty de-
grees-that is to say, from a place cor
responding with the mid-heavens-
and, in order to obtain this light,
houses should not be higher than two
thirds of the width of the street. If
n street, for example, We're thirty feet
wide the houses ON each side should
not be higher than twenty feet. The
suggestion is, of course, not to cut
down our houses, hut to widen our
streets.

The rite of marriage in China is one
OF much ceremony. The bride is in
no way consulted, but is sold to the
highest bidder for her hand. The GER
emonles are six in number, namely:
fnding out the lady's name, the hour,
day and month of her birth, which
until the ceremony the husband is not
supposed to know; the consultation
OF the soothsayers as to the prospects
OF happiness; paying the wedding fees,
settling the wedding day, and conduct
ing the bride to the house of the bride
groom.
On the day of this latter, or sixth,
ceremony the bride is gorgeously
dressed and carried to her husbands
house in tightly closed palanquin.

The cave-like places left after coal
mas been eXcavated from the mines
are supported by pillars formed from
pieces of coal. Any dislodgement of
these pieces weakens the supports,
which causes the earth above to loosen
and in settling it presses down
upon the rats that inhabit the mines
IN great numbers. AS n result they
give expression to their discomfort
by 1ndulging in general squealing
time, which continues night and day
Tor two or three weeks. This serves
as solemn warning to the miners to
leave that portion of the mine and
thus escape the peril which menaces
them.

HOW TO GROW MUSHROOMS.
A Cellar, or Other Cool Place, the First
Thing to Get.


Thing to Get.
Mushroom growing is said to be the
latest fad that has attacked Baltimore,
and interesting stories of the success,
both material and financial, that pri-
vate growers of mushrooms are meet
ing with, are being circulated. The
cellars of brewing establishment no
longer in operation, in the southeastern
section of the city, have been con-
verted into mushroom farms by some
enterprising growers, and 1t Is said
that they are yielding very satisfac'
tory crops.
Besides these growers, who have
gone into the business on an eXten-
sive scale, number of women have
started smaller farms in the cellars
of the houses in which they live. Ac
cording to the figures given by Mr.
Theodore Eckhardt yesterday, these
women farmers run n fair chance OF
adding very considerably to their pir
money.
The yield from a fifteen-foot bed
Mr.. Eckhardt said, should be abou
ninety pecks in three months. TIL
cost of the bed would be about SIC
The mushrooms would sell for seven
ty-five cents n peck, bringing thu
farmer $67.50, making gain of $57.of
on the undertaking.
The things that are necessary 70,
success in mushroom growing, accord
ing to Mr.. Eckhardt, are, first, the
cellar in which they are to be growL
(and this must be so arranged thai
the plants can be kept at n tempera.
ture of from sixty degrees to seventy
degrees; second, good ventilation, az
rangements must be available also by
which the soil can be kept moist.
Good manure, rich in phosphate,
must be used to form the foundation
of the bed, which will be built prefer
ably upon a dirt floor. Two loads will
be necessary for a bed fifteen feet
long. The mushroom spawn can be
procured in the shape of bricks from
the florists and nurseTymen. The TEN.
perature of the bed must be tested,
and no planting must be done until
it is below ninety-fve degrees. Then
the bricks can be broken in half-inch
pieces and distributed evenly over the
bed.
In eight or ten days a white thread
like growth will begin to appear, and
when this is noticed the bed must be
covered to the depth of one-half to
three-quarters Of an inch with sandy
loan. The beds arc built in conical
shape, starting from a base about
three feet wide and building up to
about two and half feet high, with
width of about ten inches on top.
A frame of six-inch boards may be
used to keep the bed in place.
The expenses will be: For manure,
$4; labor. $3.50; six bricks of mush-
room spawn, 81; loan, $2.5O.-Balti-

THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE PEssIM,s1

He didn't like the world:
"'Tis cruel, Grass" said he;
"All men are base or coarse,
Unfit to stand with me!
"I'll quit the crowded ways,
I'll leave the noise and strife;
I'll seek hermit's cave
And settle there for life.
"My own companionship
Is all that / shall claim
1t only may / hold
Without a pang of shame"
And so he found a cave
And there he hid his face,
And babe the world farewell
The thoughtless world and base.

And, with becoming grace,
Admitted that he'd made
