RICH MEN GROW MUSHROOMS.
NilIionaires who Have a Hobby in
the Direction of Nourishlng
These DeIicacIes.

II Is not every one who can afford to
have their own mushroom gardens and
give away 500 or $50 worth of the deli
cacies every day. OF the three or four
gentlemen in this country who have
such n garden is Henry Clay Frick, the
Pittsburgh iron magnate, says the New
York journal.
Mushrooms are exceedingly difficult
to grow successfully, but Mr.. Tricks
gardener and horticultural, David
Fraser, does it. He was the pioneer in
the mushroom culture in Pittsburgh.
After his great success there other gar
denerstried to take up the business. but
with indifferent success Fraser is an
expert at the peculiar business. He
says that during his 1s years of mush-
room gardening he never had failure
in a plant.
Sometimes IS or 20 pounds of mush-
rooms are picked in day. As they
are worth about $1.50 n pound, some
thing like $40 day is represented in
this product. OF course, Mr.. Frick or
his family do not eat all these. He
eats some nearly every meal, as he is
particularly fond of them. The rest he
gives TO his friends and others, for the
steel and coke magnate is noted for his
hberahty in this respect. In an under
ground corridor in the conservatory,
back OF the Prick residence, at Home
wood, the toothsome delicacies are
grown. Under the big shelves that are
filed with plants and flowers of all
kinds extend long boxes filled with fer
tilizer and top soil. Over all is a glass
roof, for this is really a wing of the
conservatory, with the roof on level
with the ground. In these boxes the
mushrooms are grown.
Everyone is familiar with the AK
ION, grow like mushrooms in
night Cultivated mushrooms, how
ever, do not grow this way. Gardener
Fraser says it takes about six or seven
weeks TO bring them from the spawn to
maturity fit to serve on the table. They
will grow more quickly unless kept
back. Thousands of mushrooms spring
from single spawn. This latter looks
like white silk thread. When put in the
ground this runs in every direction, and
from all quarters the little white eat
ables spring up. Mr. Fraser is an au-
thority on mushroom culture, and is
so recognized all over the United States.
He wrote a treatise recently on the
subject, which was widely read.
Mushrooms can be grown in an out
building, under the benches of cool
greenhouse, or in a cellar, provided the
temperature can be kept Mt from 40
TO so degrees, and the place dry. It is
necessary to keep out the frost or the
mushrooms will spoil. 1t is highly i'm
portant that the fertilizer and soil be
kept moist. The raising of the growths
in greenhouses is beyond the reach of
Gil but wealthy people. The best re-
suits are attained, however, in this
manner, though good mushrooms can
be raised in tho cellar of an ordinary
residence. In such case the yield Is not
as great or the time of bearing as long
as where every detail is expressly and
especially provided for; still enough
mushrooms can be raised TO supply the
larder OF any ordinary family. ,s

Novel Form of a VIII.

A novel method OF making q will was
revealed in a suit which Count Moore,
NJ. p, an Irishman, brought in London
10 set aside the testament of his sis
ter, woman of large wealth. She
was paralyzed, and was unable 90 ex-
press herself by words, says the
Washington Times, though when
she saw the words written she knew
their meaning. Her lawyers printed
two sets OF cards-one set showing her
various properties. the other the names
of her relations. The cards were shut
fed and dealt out, and as she came TO
each name she indicated by sign the
property she assigned 10 the owner of
It. The judge upheld the Will. tc'

NEW WOMEN OF ENGLAND.
Many of Them Have Taken to I'm.
usual Occupations and
Succeeded.

There arc two unique women in the
British royal houSohold-the last place
in the world where one would look for
any sympathy with the new woman
hood, says the Philadelphia Press. In
the lord chamberlain's department the
position of chimney sweeper is held by
a woman, and a woman also holds the
Office of statuary mason. The church,
too, has given the onward movement
its sanction, for we find that "a woman
in the Winchester diocese has acquitted
herself with great credit as bellring-
or. The year before last a woman was
elected as a representative of convo-
cation on the court of governors of Vic
toria university, Manchester, England,
the first instance on record of a wom-
an holding such post in that country.
England has wQman paster marin-
er in the person of the dowager Lady
Clifford, widow of the late usher of
the black rod, who is entitled TO dis
pense with the services of captain on
her 360-ton yacht. which she sails in
the Mediterranean. An effort was made
by Lady Ernestine Brudenell-B Bruce to
obtain masters certificate, but the
board of trade declined to grant it, and
Lady Clifford is still unique.
In Tasmania woman (spinster) is
given the power TO celebrate mar
riages.
London has a woman architect in
Miss Ethel Charles, who has lately been
admitted, after lively debate, as a
member of the Royal Institute of Brit
ish Architects.
1t is not generally known, perhaps,
that the head of the post Office of
Gibraltar is a woman-Miss M. Cress-
well-who has been head of the postal
department at the Rock for ten years.
She receives a salary of $2,74O per an
mum, being the highest paid female
Office in the post Office. There is a fe-
male medical officer, too, in the post
office-Miss Edith Shove, M. B.

ALL-AROUND FIRE COMPANY.
RevivRIs, and Buried the Dead
MaaonIcaIIy or Otherwise.

A stranger went into the engine
house in La Sale street and asked
questions. After he was enlightened,
says the Chicago Tribune, he said to
his informant:
There have been some changes In
the business since ! was in it. reckon
you never heard of the Touse volun-
teers?"
The informant never had.
''Touse is the name OF the town. It's
spelled Taos. II was a lively place in
its day-down in the lower end of Blu
chanan county, No. County that st.
Joe's in. II was a volunteer outfit, the
company was. We had q hand engine
and our uniform was red shirts, blue
nonkeen breaches, red top boots, and
oilcloth caps. You never see any caps
like them now" d.
How many runsp" ..
Not to fires There wasn't but one
fire in the town in two years, and that
was a haystack." ....
You hadn't much 20 do, then?"
Didn't we2 We was in demand all
the time. Touse was a great place in
its day for runaway couples 10 get mar
ried, and as the captain of the volun-
teers was the justice of the peace, he
always called out the company to be
present at the connubiaities, as he
called them, and there was no mar
riage until we got there. Sometimes
there was a dance after the wedding, in
b.. hn hri1a no
toallemande left and sashay with every
member of the volunteers before she
did with her husband.
Then we used TO have foot races on
the Fourth of July, and whenever there
was county fair we were the ones
altogether lovely. In the winter time
when the circuit rider cams to town
and got up revival we always turned
out, and if the sinners didn't come to
taw as lively as they should we would
pull straws to see who would go up as
mourners; and in that way the revival
would be prolonged, It was always
understood that the one that pulled the
short straw had the privilege of back
sliding after the season was over.
There were no secret orders In
Touse at that time, so when a promi-
nent citizen kicked the bucket, as we
said of a man when he died, the Touse
volunteers turned out and planted him
with masonic or oddfellow honors, ac-
cording to the wishes of his friends
There was no hearse in the town, so we
put the deceased on the engine and
hauled him to the boneyard. If his
friends wanted masonic honors over his
grave our captain would foot the trum'
pet; If it was oddfellow honors that
was demanded we rung the bell; and
IN that way strangers in Touse always
knowed which way the deceased had
affiliated, so TO speak in his life. There
wasn't much in Touse that the volun
teers didn't take a hand in"

THE COURT HOUSE QUESTION
The LaHarpe News is 'agin' it. Let
us hear from others.

The LaHarpe News is "agin' it. Let
us hear from others.
Under the captain "Now Is Not The
Accepted Time, )" the last issue of the
LaHarpe News contains the following:
In the DAILY REGISTER Of the 9TH
inst there appeared ieeler on the
court house question; just a gentle re-
minder that some people In the county
not many, are in favor of adding the
expense of a new court house to in
debtednese of the county. 1t ie an old
question, that like Bsnquo's ghost
does not down and like the ghost,
awakens un pleasant memories in some
peoples minds. The people of Allen
county remem Der time when there
was an actual need of q building. and
also, that through the manipulation
OF the business men OF lola the old
court house was patched up to keep
the question from coming to vote on
location. A great deal Of money was
expended by the county to fix up the
old court houee, new vaults have re-
Gently been added; 30 that at the
present time the court house lie com.
modious enough, II not palatial.
That Allen county lie prosperous,
has greatly increased in wealth and
population is absolutely true, but that
IL no valid argument that we must
vote q $4,000 or perhaps a 800, 600
debt on ourselves for fine court houee
when the one we have lie good and
sufficient enough, except that II 10 not
elegant or magnificent.
The taxpayers Of this township have
already made up their minds on the
question. The are against 1t ut the
present time.
The News is entirely right Ia allud-
ing to the REGISTERS article as 3
"teeler." We wanted to start the
people OF the county to thinking about
the court house question, and we
wanted to call out expressions of
opinion. The News has expressed lie
opinion very courteously and frankly.
There are some assertions in it's article
that we think are hardly justified by
the facts, but we do not care to discuss
1t now. What we want now is an I'M
biased expression Of opinion, and we
would like to have 1t from all the way
around. The REGISTER will be glad
to print letters from anyone who has
An opinion to express on the subject.
1t is an important matter and 1t ought
to be fully and candidly discussed.
