one OF the most generally accepted. but
mistaken, ideas that Ia entertained by the
people Of this country, said s. r. Huyett,
American travelling representative Of a for
eiSn mandatory OF gut strings. is that
strings used on musical instruments are
manufactured from catgut. II that were
true, the cats In this world would have been
eNterminated many years ago In supplying
tho market with material for musical In
strument strings.
"The fnct is that they are manufactured
from the lntestines Of sheep, and In obtaining
enough raw material even from these animals
the manufacturers at times find difficulty.
THE only string made from the intestlnes
OF the feline Is hat used for surgical pur-
poses-for sewing up wounds. One would
be amazed to know that there are millions
of musical instrument strings used In North
America alone. and just think where the
tabbies would be II they had to supply the
consumption
Another amazing thing Is that there
are over 700 different grades OF musical
instrument strings, The demand for strings
in North America IL increasing every year,
especially In the South and in Mexico. There
are more guitar strings sold in Mexico than
any other kind. but through the South the
banjo string still holds its own, despite the
fact that every year has marked slight but
gradual falling on in the demand. The harm
il becoming more popular, and there is n
Sooj dcr1apd for strings for this instrument. 3"

pletely fooled by the dishes which they ate
One Of these was the late Thomas B. Reed Of
Maine and New York, a man who appre-
ciated the good things Of life and was dis
appointed if he didn't get them.
He accepted an invitation to dine with the
ex-senator and Mrs. Henderson, and was
warned in advance that he would get nothing
to eat except nuts, vegetables and fruits.
Mr.. Reed wal rather alarmed over the
prospect and expected to be w~oefully dis
appointed; but he found that the warn"
ings were false alarms.
There we're fish and meat dishes Tor what
he thought were fish and meat dishes), and
he enjoyed the whole dinner. When it was
over he learned to his surprise that not a
single animal substance had been used In
any Of the dishes.
There is a story told. too, Of a lady who
was invited to dine at Henderson Castle.
during the Lonten season. She was a strict
observer Of Church rules. Even on days
that were not fast days she would not eat
fish and meat at the same meal.
When the fish was served at Henderson
Castle she let it pass. She decided to wait
for the meat. She was hungry, and the fish
looked good. but it's appetiaing appear
ance and avory dor were not sufficient to
overcome her principles. When the meat
was served the lady ate 1t with avidity
Afterward she found out that the fish was a
vegetable concoction and the meat 2 prep
aration Of nuts and things.
After eschewing the use of ~carnivorous
food, Mrs. Henderson turned her attention
to liquids, and she became convinced that
alcoholic preparations we're poisonous to
the human system. Other things, too, she
decided were injurious. She tells much Of
her Investigations in THE Aristocracy Of
Health" In the preface to that boob she
says:
my study of ply steal culture began
with the problem Of tobacco, the so-called
solace of mankind; and this led to a study
of alcohol, opium, tea, coffee and our favor
lite poisons generally. l was anxious to
know how they differ in upsetting rhyslo-
logical law and order.
THE study Of these agents for artificial
happiness led to a realizing sense Of their
connection with the almost universal lack
Of SOUND health and happiness on the part Of
mankind. A comparison of human de-
generacy IN various countries, along with
causes, became also topics Of absorbing
interest.
Problems Of diet and other questions
connected with physical culture naturally
followed, as well as the means Of relief
from what is chiefly instrumental in robbing
mankind of its birthright-health, happi-
ness and success in life"
The idea that the Hendersons are MEM
bers Of the temperance order known as the
Reohabites is erroneous. 1t is true that
there is a John B. Henderson Tent Of this
order and that its members participated

into 30 much notoriety. The butler and
one of the other servants at Henderson
Castle belong to the R%echabites, and it was
partly due to the but Ter hat he vine spilling
on the Castle lawn came about.
When Mrs. Henderson reached the con-
clusion that everything that contained
alcohol was poison the Castle cellar was
well stocked with expensive imported
wines. What to do with these was a prob
lem.
conscientious scruples served to forbid
their sale or giving away, and SO strong
were the views of Mrs. Henderson on the
subject that she believed that invalids
were not benefited by the use Of such
stimulants. This was the reason the wine
was not given to a hospital.
So 1t lay In the cellar for several years
and might nave been there to this day il
the temperance butler Of the Castle had not
secured from Mr.. and Mrs. Henderson a
promise that his tent Of the Rechabites
might have the use OF their spacious grounds
for a lawn party. The day was finally
set and when the happy butler was thank
ing his mist ress she said:
we might as we'll clean out the cellar
when your friends come"
The Rechabites heard the news with Joy.
At the word they went into the cellars and,
carrying out the bottles by the armful,
proceeded to smash them on a big rock on
the lawn. Mrs. Henderson was Mortified
when she found that the affair had been
described In the newspapers.
She has Stunned newspaper notoriety
and had no idea that the story Of the wine
spilling was of any public interest. 1t is
said by her friends that whatever she has
done has been lone quietly and unostenta-
tiously, and they assert that her charities,
Of which the public seldom hears, are many
and liberal.
There is an interesting member of the
Henderson household that deserves men,
ton. He is a vegetarian dog. Mrs. Hen
derson found Rover at the local dog pound,
and pitied him on account Of his miserable
condition. So she paid his hns and took
him to Henderson Castle.
Rover was ill at the time-a poor, half
starved creature, Mrs. Henderson gave
him her personal attention and brought him
back to health and strength. In this
medical treatment, and subsequently, Rover
received no meats and he is to-day a strong,
active, happy animal, and in his appearance

BACHELOR GIRLS FARMING 1T.
AN EXPERIMENT ON ONE OF TIE
BERkSHIRE HILLTOPS.
They Are Trying II They Can Live From the
Proceeds OF Two Acres-Most OF the
Work They VIII DO Themselyes-The
Eyes of Men Farmers TO lie Opened.

Eyes of Me Farmers TO lie Opened.
Two bachelor girls Of New York and their
mother have started an experiment this
summer to see if they can actually live
from the proceeds of two acres Of land.
The land is situated on one of the Berk-
shire hilltops, near the village Of Terry
Vile, not far from Waterbury, Conn. Last
summer was the first they spent there,
and they sold $50 worth Of garden truck,
besides supplying their own table.
This spring they started early. They
rave ploughed and planted the whole two
acres, half of 1t to potatoes, They expect
to raise 500 bushels of potatoes, to sell
them for 81 a bushel, and to clear $3.50 or
$500 from that acre. They are now selling
hotbed radishes and lettuce, and have
sold 1000 tomato plants raised under cheese
cloth from seeds planted in April.
The other acre will include a big vegetable
garden, a strawberry bed and a scrap of
pasture for the horse. Eventually they
will have a greenhouse. They keep hens
enough to supply their W table. They
hired a man to do the ploughing and hoe
the potatoes. The rest they expect to do
themselves.
81 believe said one of them, that a
great source Of modest prosperity is being
wasted by the absence Of market gardening
in the n~eighborhood of the smaller places.
Terryville has about 1900 inhabitants.
There is one factory there.
Before that came it was a farming
village. The farms are all there yet, but
the farmers are all working in the factory.
There are no vegetable gardens In that
village, and nc market gardens around it.
"They raise nothing on their farms but
hay. They will take a vacation in the
summer and go and do their haying, or
they will hire a man to do it Tor them; but
as they do nothing for the land the hay crop
gets poorer every year.
AT Terryville and Waterbury all the
garden truck comes in from New York.
and Is, OF course, expensive and not fresh.
With great stretches of uncultivated land
all around, thu people eat canned vegs-
tables. There is some market garden
ing round Hartford, but there. too, sup
plies are drawn from New York. 1t is SO
all through that region and other regions
like it.
Now, l don't blame a man who has
always lived on a farm and farmed in the
old fashioned, unscicntiiic way for wanting
to get into town and go to work in a mill.
1t is another stage in his evolution. But it
leaves an opportunity for the scientific
farmer, the educated farmer who farms
with brains.

Governor of the State on the Republican
ticket in 1872 and was president of the Re-
publican national convention held in Chi
cago in 1884.
Mr.. Henderson's prominence as a public
man was no whit greater than that OF his
young wife in the social world of st. Louis
She was foremost in charitable and intellec-
tual enterprises. When the Hendersons re-
turned to Washington to live, it was to
become as prominent here as they had
been in the " est.
Mr.. Henderson's law practice had pros
pered and they were accounted WE'LL
to-do. 1t was not long before their means
began to increase. Washington was then
a centre of real estate speculation, and Mr..
Henderson, taking advantage Of his oppor-
t~unities, bought land that in the course Of
time increased greatly in value
The Hendersons built q house, a medieval
looking structure Of reddish stone, with a
great wall Of the same material around 1t.
The site they selected was at what was
then the northern end OF Sixteenth street,
in a comparatively u~nimproved portion OF
the town. They had no fashionable neigh
bors, for thE.t part Of the city was far from
the popular residential district.
Henderson Castle" was what they called
their place, and a castle 1t looks with Its
turrets and towers and it's high protecting
wall. Nowadays, Henderson Castle is not
at the head of Sixteenth street. That high
way, which runs northward in q straight
line from the White House, has been ex-
tended beyond the residence Of the former
Senator and his wife.
While her husband was busy practising
law and dealing in real estate Mrs. Hender-
son was MISUNDERSTANDING practical
things. The Hendersons had become noted
as dinner givers, and Mrs. Henderson de-
voted herself to the study OF foods,
AS a result Of her inquiries she and Mr..
Henderson became convinced that the
eating Of animal flesh was injurious to
human health. They reached this oonolu-
sion only after . thorough scientific inv ssti-
cation.
Mrs. Henderson did not intend to give
up her dinner parties, and she realized that
it would be n. imposition on her guests to
feed them only on grasses and vegetables
and fruits that appeared to be exactly
what they were. SO she set about devising
recipes that would enable her to prepare
vegetarian dishes in a way that would
attract the eye and delight the pa late.
Being a woman Of determination, infinite
patience and much knowledge on tie sub
ject OF cookery, she succeeded.
1t is a great treat to be asked to a vege-
tartan dinner at Henderson Castle. The
chef there is an Englishman, and he Is a
wonder at preparing dishes Of things that
contain no flesh OF other animal ingredients.

wonders which this chef has performed.
