Lapan..s Mushroom Growing.

The japanese have an interesting
method of growing a kind Of mush-
room known as the wood mushroom,
Agaricus shitake. This species, which
is much priced as food in Japan. is
related to the so called honey fungus,
a species very destructive to the roots
Of trees and woody plants. This latter
Epecies. it may be noted. is one of the
causes Of phosphorescence In decaying
wood. The Japanese method OF grow
ing their mushroom seems to consist
In preparing the ground for it. A cop
nice of red oak, beech or chestnut OF
some twenty years. growth is cut down
inst after the fall of tina leaf. Inc
wood is then left lying for d hundred
DAYS. 1t is then cut into lengths or
three or four feet, and the logs are
lacerated with large pruning knives
Shores settle on the wounded parts.
and the mycelium of the fungus
spreads through the tissues OF the
wood. Next year crop Of mushrooms
springs up. The production Of musn-
rooms may go on for six years, but the
main crop is gathered the second year.

CONST AN TNOPLE FALLS Al TER A BLOODY NIGHT
AND sui TAN IS KEPT A PRISONER IN HIS PALACE
TO AWARD BABY
AT THE THEATRE

Manager NJ. L. shannon, of the Ma
jestic theatre, made the statement this
morning that a real live baby viii be
given away, absolutely free, to the
holder of reserved seat coupon at the
termination of the vaudeville perform
ance at the Majestic Monday night.
According to the different courts
throughout the land the price of human
life has been fixed by different juries
in accident cases from almost nothing
to dollars running into six figures II
is safe to say however, that never
in the history of the civilized race has
the price of chubby faced baby been
placed at the value of reserved seat
coupon. This, strange as it may seem,
Is the truth according to Mr.. Shannon
and the child will surely be given
away Monday night at the theatre.

Schooner With 4
Record Is On
Dry Dock.
OF CRAFT

The three-masted schooner Donna
r. Briggs, known as the blue Hoos
doc" is on dock No. of the Perth
Amboy Dry Dock Company, where
she is being thoroughly overhauledE
and re-classed under inspection OF
the American Lloyds. Captain Will
liam B. Gurney commands the craft,
which is one of the fastest sailing
vessels of it's size on the water. It Is
the only schooner on the Atlantic,
coast that is painted blue, and az
blue is regarded by all seamen as an
evil color 1t is easily seen why the
cognomen, blue Hoodoo," has been
given to the Briggs
Wherever the schooner ports bad
weather is sure to follow, according
to sailors along the coast, and they,
even claim that the Briggs frequent-
ly brings the bad weather with her.
Heavy fogs along the Maine coast
have been blamed on the Blue
Hoodoo" and Captain Gurney says
that everywhere his vessel has been
the "oakum chewers" always blame
the schooner for the condition of the
weather or any mishaps. Captain
Gurney, however, is not a bit super
stitious and says that in spite Of the
so-called evil skyish blue color the
boat is painted, during the eight
years that he has been in command
he has only had few slight mishapa

has carried various cargoes and in
1895, while in command of Captain
Allen Quincy, the younger brother OF
the present captain, became a fili-
buster during the war between Cuba
and Spain. She piled without mis-
hap for two years and carried many
contraband arms and ammunition
from New York to Cuba, but came
/, to grief during the latter part Of
1897.
The Briggs had landed her cargo
OF arms at Cuban shores and was
heading homeward when about three
hours out from land three Cuban
stowaways were found on board,
The men were Immediately put In a.
rowboat with plenty of provisions
and left to make their way to shore,
while the schooner, which was then
painted black, continued on herl
course. Shortly afterward a United
States patrol boat picked up the
three stowaways, and learning the
whole story from them about the
Briggs work, chased the little
schooner The Briggs was caught
after an exciting pursuit and taken
to Norfolk, Va, where, after nums-,
rous developments. including the
war between the United States and
Spain, the captain was released after
being heavily fined.
Afterward the schooner carried
pineapples and other fruit from the
Bahama Islands to Virginia, and I'M
1896 made a voyage from the West
Indies to Hampton Roads, Va, inl
exactly Ave days. The Briggs has
also carriedsscoal to various ports
and just recently took load OF hoI-l
low brick from Keasbey to New Lon
don, Conn. The schooner has made
many trips to this city and local tars,
also refer to her as the Blue Hoo-l
