O'Clock Eustace, who had managed to
get a few days leave from his en-
ployers, arrived with Mr.. John Short
to take Augusta and Lady Holmhurst
10 Somerset House.
Mr.. Short was introduced, and much
impressed both the ladies by his ex-
traordinary air of learIing and com
mand. He wanted to Inspect the will
at once: but Augusta struck at this,
saying that it would be quite enough
to have her shoulders stared at once
that day. With a sigh and a shake Of
the head at her unreasonableness Mr..
John Short submitted, and then the
carriage came round and they were
all driven Off to Somerset House.
Presently they were there, and after
threading innumcrable chilly passages
reached a dismal room with an al

An ideal way of feeding a few sheep

openings in the slaves between the

hold it in place by driving several

them to the barrel. OF curse the top
Of the barrel is open. The hay or 9th

Amateur Mushroom Growing.
The Cornell experiment station has
undertaken to tell amateurs how they
may grow mushrooms for profit in a
small way in old stables, available ce!-
lars and similar ou~t-of-the-way places.
The fundamental requisite is a dark
room Of uniform temperature, that IS,
one that does not go below SO degrees
or above 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Con
siderable success was obtained in the
experiments in growing mushrooms in
boxes under benches in a greenhouse,
and under benches in a basement Of
the college buildings.
The beds, spawned Nov. %, and COW
cred with dirt a week later, produced
the first of the crop Jan. !, though the
regular pickings did not begin until a
week later. The boxes contained about
80 square feet Of surface and yield at
the rate of two pounds of mushrooms
for each square foot.

FINDS OF GOLD OUT WEST.
Sudden Strokes of Fortune That Come
to Prospectors.

Sudden Strokes of Fortune That Come
to Prospectors.
Every State or Territory in which
gold and silver have been found in any
quantity has it's stories Of discoveries
which, while they seem like romances
when told, are examples of the adage
that truth is stranger than fiction.
Montana furnishes several of the more
interesting.
Every prOspector in the Rocky
Mountains has probably heard the tale
of how Tom Cruise discovered the
great Drum Lomond mine. For years
the old miner had been siuicing out the
gold in the bed Of a creek q few miles
from Helena. Some days he secured
less than a dollars worth and other
days five times as much. The uncer-
tainty was discouraging, but he had
experience enough to know that the
ledge from which the gold had been
washed must be somewhere in the Vi
entity, so he explored the valley. but
without result. Then he climbed the
sides for hundreds Of feet. At last
he saw a projection which was appar-
emily rock covered with earth and
leaves. A few digs with the shovel
laid bare the outcropping Of the ore
vein which was to become n of the
bst famous in the world.
y Montana also contains the Granite
Mountain mine, which was supposed
to consist of surface ore. The shrewd
superintendent noted indications which
led him to believe another ore body lay
beneath. The mine owners, however,
disagreed with him, n he began in
~vestigatiog for himself when the veins
appeared to be exhausted. On the very
day lie received a telegram to abandon
the claim he made the discovery of the
lode beneath. The telegram he sent
his employers caused them to give him
carte blanche in the way Of spending
their money to reach the ore. It Is a
matter of history hat the wealth of
this mine has erected some Of the
finest buildings in st. Louis, where the
owners invested their profits.
III the long HIST OF accidental liscoy-
cries which have made fortunes either
for the discoveries or others to whom
they divuEAed their secret that of Park
City will always occupy a prominent
place. 1t was not always termed Park
City and many of the miners in Utah
to this day still call 1t Parley's Park,
its original name. Sitting on a ledge
of rock to rest, a prospector began
knocking away at the surface with his
pick without thought that its point
was entering a mass of silver ore
which has since been mined for over
ten years. Noting the glitter of the
fragments, he took them to the neares
town and had them assayed-more out
OF curiosity than otherwise, for appar-
emily they contained too much Of the
white metal for 1t to be genuine. The
assay showed no less than twelve
pounds Of silver to the ton.
News OF the discovery soon spread
and openings were made from which
ore yielding over 100000 pounds OF
pure silver has thus far been taken,
and no one knows how much more lies
in the bowels OF the hills.-Pilgrim.

Pe.nut. Good HOE Feed.

The numerous estimates made by
the Arkansas Station a regards the
yield of hay from a crop Of peanuts
varies from one to very nearly three
tons per acre. This hay is usually
worth at least $40 a ton and may he
considered a by-product when the nuts
are harvested for market. In connec
ton with the value Of peanuts as a
forage crop, it may be noted that in
Virginia there is a man who has been
accommodating a tidy fortune through
the quality Of the hams cured and
packed by him. Those hams have a
rich and sweet flavor which makes
them in great demand at increased
prices. The packer each year goes
through neighboring States buying up
r~azor-backs which he has shipped to
his farm. It Is there that they are
given a food which imparts the flavor
and notwithstanding more than
peanuts.
