bers of the hunting set here and else
where on the island are asking each
other 1t is known that Mrs. Kerno-
chan receives from her husbands es-
tate only about $4,000 per annum, but
it is understood that her mother-in-law,
Mrs. James P. Kernochan Of Manhat-
tan, made a generous provision for the
mistress of the Meadows, the Kerno-
chan country place, near here. Those
who claim to know say that the elder
Mrs. Kernochan is by no means favor
able to the marriage of her sons
widow with Mr.. Forster, and there are
rumors current that she will discon-
tinue the annuity if the marriage oc-
ours.
OF course, $4,000 per year would be
riches for some people, but it would
go only a small way toward maintain
ing place like the Meadows and keep
ing a stable of hunters, we'll stocked
kennels, etc. Mr.. Forster, it is said, is
far from rich, and if Mrs. Kernochan,
the elder, should cut off the annuity
Mr.. Forster and his bride will find
themselves poor by comparison.
But Mrs. James p. Kernochan has
not said she will discontinue the an

LIVES BY RAISING WORMS
Queer New Workers. Patrons Are Song
Bird Lovers All over

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Jan. 7.--There is a
prosperous German i'm East Fifteenth
street who has created for himself q
unique calllng-that Of worm farming.
The common or garden variety Of worm
holds small nttr3 Ction to any one except
the small boy with the fishing rod, or
the early bird, but this worm cultivatcr
has Il business that nets him nearly St0
a day all the year around.
His customers are bird lovers, and
to them he sells yearly over 500, 900
Wrigglers which are reputed to give
splendid singing voices to nightingales,
mocking birds, larks and other sorg
birds Strange to say, Canarles refuse
to eat these meal worms, according to
their cultivator, whether from dainti-
ness or Inherited apathy he does not
venture to guess.
1t is claimed by bird fanciers that
these succulent worms will strengthen
and sweeten the song birds voice and
give him pretty plumage and a new
interest In life. This trade contention is
backed up by the fact that many ZOO
logical gardens throughout the United
states and Canada are steadily custo-
mers Of this old German, whose original
stock Of wrigglers are imported from
beTlndllN Ill MS bdBBaBe Wnen he came
to this country.
After taking the caller through the
large dark cellar where the meal
worms were undergoing the stages Of
egg, slug and lively worm. the )wner
was considerably surprised that his
unique business should attract atten-
ton; he said the merit of the meal
worm had long been recognized in Ger
many among bird lovers and he had
learned their cultivation there. The
wrigglers are confined in large boxes,
which are not overburdened with
mother earth.
Frequently" said the worm cultiva-
tor, pointing to his charges with visible
pride, II send away by express 5000 Of
those fat boys in Il patent box of my
own invention, packed in broken bread
and bran. My regular customers-pri-
Vate families throughout the north and
west-receive their pets food by mail,
and many of Uncle Sans carriers
would be greatly surprised if they knew
that many of the innocent packages
they handle are full of wriggling
worms.

ness. There is II big dealer in West
