INCREASE IN SALARIES
FOR SUPERINTENDENT
Figures for the Year 1906 in
Indiana.
OTHER OFFICERS DIFFER.

According to statistics gathered by
Miss Mary Stubs, state statistician,
the county superintendent of the
state Jared much better in the way of
salaries during the year 1906 than
they did in 1905. The same is true of
truant officers. The county commits
sioners and county councilmen of the
state did not fare SO well.
The county superintendent received
total of $126,655.5S in salaries in
1905. The office expense reported by
the county superintendent for the
year 1906 was $14,594.35. In 1906 it
was $15,532.63. The total allowances
made in Indiana for county Institutes
in 1906 was $4,000 as against s9,2S4 Of
the year before. In 1906 the total
amount paid out by the counties Of the
State in salaries to truant officers was
$33 ,266.35. This was an increase of
81 ,256.32 over the year before. At the
rate of 25 cents admission for children,
this money would enable 133,065 bare
footed boys to play hockey" from
school and attend the circus.
The county commissioners of the
state received in salaries q total of
S114743.9S in 1906. In 1905 they re-

Interstate Commerce Commits.
sion Renders First Opinion
Applying the New Law.
SAYS THE RATE is UNJUST.
UNITED STATES EXPRESS COM
PANY HAS BEEN ORDERED TO
REDUCE FLOWER TARIFF FROM
81 TO 60 CENTS.

Washington. d. c., May 6.-The In
terstate commerce commission has
rendered its opinion in a case inyolv-
ing the reasonableness of an GGresS
rate. The case was brought by the
Society of American florists. who
claimed that the rate charged by the
United States Express company on cut
flowers from New Jersey points TO
New York City was unreasonable, ex-
cessive and unjust. This rate till Ju-
ly, 1906, was 30 cents per hundred
pounds, and at that time was raised to
81 per hundred pounds.
Commissioner Franklin Lane, who
delivers the opinion of the commits
sion, holds that the rate should be re-
pounds. The express company de-
Tended its increase of 100 per cent in
its rate by claiming that the delivery
service given cut flowers in New York
was much more expensive that that
given other articles, and that it could
not increase its rate sufficient
special service without largely increas-
ing the total rate, because of its con-
tract with the railroads, under which
it is required to pay 40 per cent of its
gross receipts to the railroad compa-
MES for their service.

A Remarkable FUNGUS.

I was following an old wood road
one day and paused for a moment to
enjoy the beauty of the sun fiecked
pathway. A bit of orange color at
tracted my attention. On closer ex-
animation / found a slim, club shaped
object about an inch long that appear
ed to be the cap of a small fungus. 1t
reminded me of the spadix of a Gala
lily. Wondering from what source
this strange little parasite had been
getting its food, l poked away the de-
caying leaves from the short stem and
found to my great establishment that
the small branching roots of this re-
markable fungus were imbedded in
the head of a brown chrysalis about an
inch in length. The chrysalis had lost
its piumpness and was light to the
touch. plainly showing that while il
had served as host for the little para
site wonderful transformation had
taken place. Mother nature had chang
cd the organs of an insect into this odd
little orange eclored fungus--Sf- Ntch-

a standing order, dating apparently
from the reign of Edward ". 1t is

CRITICISM OF AMERICAN COOKE
Famous German Chef Found But One
Dish Worthy Of Imitation.

Albert Nsumann, chef to her i'm.
periaI highnSss the Prussian Crown
Princess Cecslis, has returned from
a tour in America a disappointed
man.
. He was dispatched to this land Of
unlimited possibilities to search high
and low for some culinary d~elicacies
better than anything made In Ger
many, and all he brought back worthy
Of imitation, he reports, is the clam
chowder.
Altogether he found American cook
ing devoid Of novelty or especial ex-
cellence. He says the only good Amer
lean cooking is French. Indeed, he
says that the real American cooking
Is simply barbaric-always excepting
the clam chowder, which he hopes to
make a favorite dish at the crown
princess table.
Herr Neumann was rather as
tonished at the failure of the Ameri-
can hotel cooks to achieve distinction,
for he found they had everything to
do 1t with. Our hotels, he says, have
kitchen arrangements which for ex'
t~ensiveness, cleanliness and complete
ness equal those Of the finest royal
palaces in Europe.
