"The Making of Bobby Burnt"
George Randolph Chester can be
trusted at any time to write some
thing better than the ordinary story
and In The Making of Bobby Burnt,
which is the record of the adventures
of a live American young man, Mr..
Chester abundantly satisfies expecta-
tons. His stories have the right
kind of an atmosphere attractive
enough TO lead one to enjoy from
page to page the unfolding OF his
plots.
Old John Burnt, rich merchant,
dies, leaving his business interests in
the control of his son, Bobby" who
has hitherto never encountered re-
sponsibiity of any kind. Naturally,
Bobby enters upon his new duties In
an unpre pared condition. His father
has foreseen this condition. however,
and has provided against his sons
starvation by reserving a portion of
his fortune in trust for him, the iden-
tity OF The trustee not being disclosed
al first. Bobby is involved in a series
Of unsuccessful adventures and invest
ments but each time is restored finan-
cially by a part of the fortune left
In reserve for such emergencies; and
subsequent TO each business blunder
sealed envelopes Is handed him. This
envelope contains letter OF advice
written by his father with the in.
struction that II be given the son
after the catastrophe has passed. Such
an arrangement seems unfair, but old
, Mr. Burnt thus explains his motive:
mo boy will believe green apples

son, am sure that If | gave you adj
vice beforehand you would not be-
lieve it, This way you will Bobby
discovers that the trustee, whose
name Is withheld, Is none other than

situation permanent, insofar as she
becomes his wife in the finale. The
book Is admirably bound and printed
and in every respect merits a read

.Jananese Mushroom Growing.

The Japanese have an interesting
method of growing kind of mush-
room known as the wood mushroom.
Acaricus 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
species. 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
pice Of red oak, beech or chestnut OF
some twenty years growth is cut down
lust after the fall of the leaf. The
wood is then left lying for hundred
days. II is then cut into lengths OF
three or four feet, and the logs are
lacerated with large pruning knives.
Shores settle on the woundsd parts.
and the mycelium of the fungus
spreads through the tissues of the
wood. Next year crop Of mushrooms
springs up The production of mush-
rooms may go on for six years. but the
main crop is gathered the second year.

ident Lincoln" after a three months
stay in Europe, arriving in Marion

Phillips stated that the trip was
highly successful throughout both
from pleasure and an educational
viewpoint. The weather was ideal
during almost the entire time, and
every member Of the party in excel
lent health and spirits. There were
three rough days going, during
which the cuisine of the steamers
chef lost its power of attraction, and
as many days on the return journey,
the remaining days OF the ocean voy-
age being thoroughly enjoyable.
Rome and Naples were selected as
the two cities of Europe most inter-
esting to the travellers. So pleasing
were these cities and various points
in Germany and Austria, that they
were visited by the party a second
time i'm place of the contemplated
journey down the Nile.
MIR. Phillips found business condi-
tlons to be very favorable, and was
assured by large wholesalers that
buying is much the same as before
the depression, with the exception
that IL is not done in quite the
quantity It assumed during prosper
ity. Instead OF buying by the hun
dred gross, representatives OF Ameri'
can houses are content with twenty
