out having word to say in the mat
ter. The father, by touching the
presents. signifies that he has ac-
copied them. The marriage cere-
mony is then over. The one mission
airy on the island has naturally op-
posed this practice Of selling brides.
The natives were quick to learn this
and hocked to the mission station to
marry the mission girls. because they
did not have to pay for them. But
the fathers of these girls created
lively disturbance, because they felt
they were being cheated out OF the
customary presents. Finally the
missionary was forced to compromise.
He permitted the father to receive
the presents, provided the daughter
was married in church. Then he
would tell the groom that he was now
a mission man and must live at the
mission and work at gathering copra.
But the rebellious husband often
took his bride back to his village

The earnings in single year by
Selfhelp students who worked in or
der to make their way through the
University Of North Carolina were
$3S4.oo0. Out of approximately 100
students registered in the University,
1880 did work of one kind or an
other-some in the summer only:
some during both Summer and the
college year-to defray the cost of
their education.
The University has formed an
organization called the Self-Help
Bureau TO help the needy ones find
all sorts of jobs. The number of
young men and young women who
earn all or part of what they neek
here is increasing every year by rea-
son of this system.
One novel way Of earning money,
recently come into vogue among the
students. is taking care of babies
when members of the faculty go out
in the evening to lectures or other
gatherings. This nursing" aslit is
called. is by no means limited to
co-eds. Some of the, students most

their demonstrated aptitude for 1t,

a common wild mushroom Of cX-
cellent quality, known as the velvet
stemmed collybia and abundant dur
ing October and November and dur
ing mild spells in the winter. is
recommended by the botanist at the
experiment station at Geneva as a
delectable addition to the winter
diet. This mushroom is described as
having reddish yellow cap, white
gills. and Nclvety brown stem. 1t
is said tn grow in dense clusters on
stumps. logs and buried wood The
caps often freeze and thaw several
times during the winter without in
jury.
Owing to the fact that it grows in
cold weather when other mushrooms
are scarce, there is little danger Of
confusing the velvet stcmmed colly-
bia with poisonous species" says this
station authority. For the same
reason 1T is not often seriously in
fected with worms. but it is some
times attacked by a white mold and
by slugs.
I'm preparing the mushrooms for
cooking the stems should be re-
moved, all adhering leaves and grass
picked off. and the caps washed. 1t
is not necessary TO peel the caps. A
Sood way TO COOK this mushroom is
to boil the caps for thirty minutes
and then fry them in butter, olco.
margarin. or bacon fat and season
with salt and pepper.
ANY surplus which may be wanted
for future use may be dried. For
this purpose reasonably clean caps
should be selected and the stems and
adhering rubbish removed. but the
caps should not be washed. Washed
caps do not dry we'll and the wash
ing should be postponed until just be-
fore the caps are to be cooked. The
dried caps are able to absorb a large
amount of moisture and will revive
if placed in water for a shdet time
before they are wanted for cooking

was not at all incredible, in view of
the fondnCss manifested for her,
during the years, by Mr.. Hyde. She
further relates that in view OF this
suggestion from Mr.. Hyde, she told
her husband all about it; and that
upon arrangement they went to
Portland together, and met Mr.. Hyde,
Nt'o made arrangements for the do
nation Of $4,000 to her. AS Mr..
.lyuc was eli route to California, the
gift was to be consummatcd when
he returned. Tho defendant denies,
however, her whole story and asserts
that he obtained knowledge of the
proposed meeting in Portland be-
tween his wife and Mr.. Hyde, trailed
/ them to q hotel where he found thcm
together in room in Il most com
promising situation, and that, hav-
ing gained admission to the room he
then and there cXtorted promise of
Mr.. Hyde to make him a payment,
as hush money, on his return from
California and that the bonds were
given him in execution Of that prom

Fright here. hot upon the scene,
it true, it is not, difficult to picture,
the defendant making admissions
that strip him OF manhood if not Of
crcdibility. He says that, finding
conditions which drive most men
mad. he was persuaded by the diplo-
macy and skill of Mr.. Hyde to sit
down, talk over his wifc's dishonor,
and agree upon hush money to keep
it a secret. lie further admits, that
after this scene he lived apart from
his wife only two days and then re-
turned to his homo which was con-
genial as ever for more than six
years. She says. however, that after
the meeting in Portland they came
home together and lived happily all
the time until the present trouble
They also have little child IS
months old and he has recently

His own conduct proves, to my
mind that he knew all about what
was going on all the time, condoncd
it. acquicsced in it, and that con-
sequently, her version OF what oc-
CURED in Portland is more probable
than his.
Upon the best analysis I can give
to the testimony l am of the opinion
that the plaintiff is entitled to re-
cover of the defendant the value Of
so of the bonds which were delivered
to her by Mr.. Hyde. and that the
accounting for the use Of said bonds
and the payment thereof, shall be
determined in accordance with the
prayers Of the plaintiffs bill.

Gold Made TRANSPARENT

The latest wonder of gold working
was achieved recently, when gold
sheets were made so thin that they
were actually transparent. Plates Of
copper were immersed in an electric
bath and plated with gold until the
yellow color was just visible. Then
they were removed and put into nitric
acid, which, after a few days. dis
solved the copper and left a film of
gold so thin that it foated upon the
surface of the liquid. These sheets
were one-2 900, 0ooth Of an inch in
thickness Ten thousand OF them
would have to be placed. one upon
another to be as thick as single
sheet Of an ordinary newspaper.
