MONEY IN MUSHROOMS.
One Woman Who is Successful and
 Her Methods.


 The mushroom crop has a reputation for general unreliability. Some of the most experienced gardeners in the Boston district have been compelled to admit that they could not depend on the success of their mushroom houses and could not always explain the caus- SC of failure, says the American Culti- vator. The large yield and good quail ty obtained by an amateur gardener of Long Island, and a woman at that. has aetracted some notice. This grower makes $1,000 per year net from musll- rooms grown in what was formerly d small ice house. She places emphasis on first. the temperature and moisture of the beds; second the compost upon which they are grown; and, third, the quality of the spawn.
 "The first point to decide is the To- cality of the bed. It-is not absolutely necessary to have a cellar or a cave. Any place where the temperature can be maintained between 5 degrees and 5s degrees and kept a tan even degree of moisture will produce the first gra de mushrooms. l know one woman who is using an old stable with perfect satisfaction. While she doesn't sell her produce, it is simply because she doesn't need the money and can use all on her own table. If I had her stable I would clear at least $500 a year cn it. She uses her floor space flat. but 1t might be materially increased by form ing ridge beds around the walls with d flat bed in the center. Being sure that you have place suited for a bed, then go ahead and prepare the compost. For this purpose only fresh stable mature should be used, and not from a stable iwhere the animals are fed to any great extent on hay or green food, or from cattle barns. It must come from the stables of grain fed horses and must be fresh.
 It should be piled closely under n sheitCr where it cannot be affected ny the ls'n &lld allowed to ferment. It must be turned over every fourth CT

The Baoshelor Tax.

When a number of state legislatures go into session next month the usual bills proposing tax on bachelors will he introduced in several of them. These bills. most of them, will be hu- morously intended or presented for the sake of winning notoriety for their authors. What we have to say now Is that while the bachelor tax was once a joke, it is no longer one, in that re- spect somewhat resembling a move ment with which it has a point or two of affinity-the agitation for women suffrage.
 Such a tax, indeed, has already been proposed by the finance minister of one If the Old World powers. It was presented to the Austrian reichsrath by Herr Yon Billinski a few Weeks

AN OLD ENGINEER
Philip T. Adams 47 Years on the Rails
 Without Serious Mishap.

Philip T. Adams of Essex, Mass, was out on Monday morning pushing a big snow blow between that place and Wenham to open the road to traffic. MT. Adams is the oldest engineer. with one exception, in the great Boston & Maine system. and has had no serious mishap during his long term of serv- ice. He entered upon his 4sth year of continuous service on the 23d day of December. On January 1, 1910. he will be given a leave of absence for several months, resuming his place in the spring when the birds begin to sing.
 MT. Adams is native of Newbury- port, Mass, and served as a soldier in the civil war, in the Forty eighth Mas sachusetts regiment. which fought with Banks in Louisiana. He is well preserved and shows the warm com radeship and bubbles with the humor which made him a favorite in the days of his youth.
 MT. Adams has the respect and best wishes of all who know him.

CHAPTER VIII.

Missile 1oked up with a frown as her
sister entered the room, but Alison took
no notice Of her. She walked up straight
to Miss HardWick. and held put her hand
with one Of her pleasant smiles
Il have just made acquaintance with
your sister, she said, with quiet tact ;
1--WE are going in the garden, as the house
feels 50 close this lovely day. I shall
be so glad, and l am sure Mabel win be,
too, II you will both stay with Us to
luncheon"
Il thought you knew better, Alison"
Missile interrupted, pettishly, before her
friend could speak. Dear papa Is so
nervous and worried about business and
Rogers wretched management that be is
not able to bear luncheon visitors Eva
understands this. don't you. dearY'
~Oh, yes, darling" returned Miss Hard
wick, with efusion but perhaps your
sister, being a stranger and not quite
used to all the ways at The Holms, has
made a mistake. That is very natural"
~Oh, no." returned Alison, trying to
keep cool. Il am making no mistake.
Papa will not be in to luncheon, or my
brother, either, as they have business a
little way out Of town. So I thought, as
we should be quite alone, that 1t would be
a good opportunity, Mabel, for you to
have your friends"
Missiles pink cheeks became crimson
with vexation; Il aggravated her to see
Alison taking upon herself so quietly the
duties Of the mistress Of the house; and
ahs was still more injured that her faith
ers movements had not been first NOTED
to herself. She took no notice Of her sis
ter's remarks, and added no word, as Miss
Hardwick accepted the invitation with
great aIacrfty. When Alison left them,
after a few more words, she listened re-
I~uctantly to Eva's criticism
Il had no idea your sister was such a
stylish person." she said, when the door
closed on Alison; ~she has fine eyes and a
good figure, and she knows how to suit her
wi style In dress. She is not as pretty
as you, darling, Of course, but she has
some claims to good looks"
Alison did not return these moderate
compliments; she was not at all attract
ed BY Miss Hardwick. She was a Large,
heavy looking girl, rather handsome, but
her manner was decidedly artificial
Alison spent a pleasant hour with her
friend under the lime trees. She
grew interested in Annals artless
talk. She was evidently very young for
her age; though she was seventeen, she
was still childish In n Probably
she had been repressed and kept in tbs
background by her sister.
