When flint-lock muskets were In vogue England was the only country in the world which was able to manufacture the flints in a shape convenient for the cocks of the guns. Other countries sent spies into her workshops to learn how the stones were cut, but none were able to compete with her in their manufacture, so all became de- pendent upon her for thetr own supply. In fact, England may be mentioned as the mother of the firearm, up to the time it was introduced to “Yankee” Ingenuity.- The breech-loading gun is sald to have been known in England at the time of Henry Il, prior to 1350. During the reign of Charles I a revolver was made in England, having seven chambers, with touch-holes, the load being inserted without a ramrod. The chamber was really the barrel of the contrivance, being four or five inches in length. This same form preceded the mod- ern revolver in this country, and those first manufactured it thought they made a marvelous discovery. Henry 1 is sald to have been the first mon- arch who really observed the value of firearms, and during his reign we find most RIFLE EVOLUTION. From the Wood Bow Gun to the Krag-Jorgensen.

THRIVING IN THE DARK Mushroom culture has become a profitable industry in this section of the country dur- ing recent years. Few people are aware of the extent to which the industry is carried on in the District and adjacent counties. The crop, like all other crops to be gathered by the gardener, is by no means a certain one, and this is probably one reason why irore persons are not engaged in the busi- ness. But a grower who has a good crop is fully compensated for his trouble, for the mushrooms require little or no artificial heat, nor do they require sunlight. For these rea- sons gardeners are able to utilize their dark places for their culture. The culture of the mushroom has been sadly neglected, not orfly in this section, but in all other parts of the United States, so the growers say. With proper attention to the business, there could easily be enough mushrooms grown bere to supply the local demand. It is as- serted that some of the so-called imported canned goods are nothing but manufactured mushrooms, without even the semblance of the genuine flavor. Dr. Seys, health officer of Springfield, Ohio, who is interested in the culture of mushrooms, urges Increased attention to them as a crop likely to increase the in- come and food supply of the poor of this country. While culture {s doubtless prifit- able, the doctor says that in Ohio thousands of tons of good mushrooms go to waste every year. Sald Dr. Seys in a recent interview: “Phe fact that some varieties are poison- ous deters the people from eating the va- rieties that are not poisonous. The reckless assertion ts sometimes made by invincibly ignorant persons that the only way to dis- tinguish the edible mushroom from the poisonous toadstool is to eat it, but this is ridiculous. There are ways of distinguish- ing the good from the bad, and persons who give attention to the subject have no diffi- culty in applying infallible tests. It is highly desirable for persons anxious to help the poor to disseminate information of a practical character in regard to mush- rooms, The agricultural bureau at Wash- ington would perform a valuble service if it would put out a simple pamphlet—not a tedious scientific volume—on this topic, giv- ing a few plain tests and directions for the vse of the practical people who are interest- ed in the addition of a new article to our food supply.” Folks Who Have Doubts. It has been only a few years since mush- rooms were Icoked upon by the average buyer who attended market as an extreme- ly doubtful article of dtet. Even now there are persons who would no more think of buying them than they would think of tak- ing home so much sure poison. But they bring high prices—too high, perhaps, for persons with slender purses, for the supply is by no means equal to the demand. Along the line of country people in the market, and more especially among the old colored Women who handle all sorts of herbs and a few vegetables and wild flowers, the field mushrooms are to be found. These people no doubt fully understand the difference be- tween the genuine mushroom and the fun- gus commonly known as the “toad stool,” and what are gathered and sold by them can generally be relied upon as being of the true mushroom family. Mushrooms gath- ered in this way are sold anywhere from 15 to 3 cents a quart, which would probably be at the rate of about 5” cents a pound, while the cultivated article will readily bring twice this amount. At this season of the year, when mush- rooms are supposed to be plentiful, none of the meadows about the city are neglected. The amateur gatherer, as well as those who make a business of cullecting mushrooms for the market, is in the field early in the morning. Most of the Italian, as well as a few French residents, appreciate the valus of mushrooms, and St is not an unusual oc- currence for a whole family of Italians to Spend a day or two in the country at this on and gather several bushels of them for winter use. The mushrooms so collect- ed are cut in strips and put through a dry- ing process, and then in winter they are sold in the Italian and French stores. The dried mushrooms are used in gravies and stews, and some persons use them for stews without the use of anything but condi- iments and perhaps a little milk, Making It a Business, There are probably a dozen persons in and about the District who now make a business of growing mushrooms. There 1s one man who has made a success of xrow- ing mushrooms Inside the city limits. This grower ts Mr. Howlett, who lives In Soutn Washington, and his beds are in his cel- jar, under his dwelling house. Ordinarily in cold weather he raises quite a good crop. There are two growers near Tenleytown, several in Montgomery and Prince George's counties, and some fine crops have been raised on the farm of the late Col. Rives, at Rives’ station. Mr. Barnabas Bryan of Anacostia Is, perhaps, the largest grower of mushrooms in the District, his beds coy- ering a large space. Mr. Bryan is a grower of vegetables, devoting his energies to the culture of products for the winter market, when prices range much higher than during the summer season. During the past two or three years he has paid particular at- tention to the culture of mushrooms, and last season proved a profitable one. Not only did his crop turn out to be a plentiful one, but the prices obtained were good, averaging a dollar a pound. His mushroom beds are In dark rooms, all the avatlable space beneath the veg- etable beds in the green houses and cellars being uttlized for this purpose. Mushroom culture requires considerable work and at- tention. To grow them heat from a fur- nace is not necessary, the manure that is used furnishing all the heat required. Be- fore this manure 1s spread on the bottom of the shallow bed it is mixed with soil, and has to be handled several times, so that it will not make the tenperature of the bed too great, and thereby kill the spawn that Is planted. On top of this mix- ture ts put a coating of rich soil, and this is allowed to remain until it 1s of the proper temperature, anywhere fron 75 to 100 de- grees. Then the mushroom spawn, sold by seeismen, is broken in smali pieces and planted. This spawn is prepared in France and this country, but the former country furnishes most of what 1s used here, ai- though a New York firm engaged in its preparation {s sald to be doing a thriving business. Care im Growing. ‘The spawn ts put in this mixture of about two parts earth and one part manure, and then the temperature has to be watched. When sprouting or “running,” as the grow- ers call it, begins, then is the critical time, and the temperature must be tested every few hours. If the proper temperature and moisture are not maintained at this time death to the fiber-like growth will ensue, and the labor expended is lost. ‘The plants must have darkness and plenty of ventila- tion. A covering of straw over the beds is deemed important, for in this way it is easier to keep the beds at the p: tem- perature. If the crop does not il, the mvshrooms will be ready for dinner parties early in December. cultivated mush- rocms, to be niarketable, should be perfect in structure and not soiled or lscerated, as and meadows, although there is one variety, the champignon, found chiefly in Virginia, which may be cut in small pieces or pulver- ized for use in sauces, so that odds and ends same purpose as the perfect ones sold from the cultivated beds.

Probably he was paid actually in his own obligations, Morris signed the deed which transferred the property to the Hollanders, and as a consequence every piece of real estate in before mi York has as the basis of its le one of the greatest names in history of this country. oe Morris, after this, became hopelessly in- volved, and was finally cast into Prison for debt, but his name is remembered and revered, and it is with peculiar appropriate- ness that the first celebration to be made in his honor is in the region that was once his Possession. The Hollanders employed Joseph Ellicott, a famous surveyor of the time, to survey their lands and manage the sale of them. Mr. Ellicott continued in the posi- tion of agent for the Holland Land Com. pany for twenty-one years, and won great distinction by his executive ability. He was identified with all the enterprises of western New York, including the construction of the Erie canal, In which he took t interest. He established his land office Batavia in 1802, on the line of the Indian trail from Canada to southern New York, and in the line of the immigration that was then mov- ing westward. The Indians had a councll ground within a few rods of the land office. The trail (mow Ellicott street in Batavia) became known as th2 Big Tree rcad, on account of its passing an enormous tree near Geneseo. The latter (now Main street in Batavia) became the r:ain thorovghfare from Albany to Niagara Falls and Boffalo. It is within a short distance of the intersection of these original Indian trails, or the crossing of these thoroughfares, that Ellicott estab- lished the land office. The building was the Preparations are making, remarked the New York Times recently, for the cele- bration of & most interesting event, the dedication of the old Holland land office at Batavia, N, ¥., in honor and in memory of Hobert Morrts, the great financter of the revolution, and the first Secretary of the ‘Treasury of the United States. It was proposed to have the celebration on a national scale, and to have the na- tion’s highest offictals participate, It was deemed peculiarly appropriate that the suc- cessor in office of Rebert Morris should be asked to dedicate the bullding, and accord- ingly Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle was invited to do so. He accepted the in- vitation, naming the date of the celebration to suit his convenience, that there may be no failure on his part to be present. He determined upon Saturday, October 13 (to- day).
