Hatfield went to sleep and snored; the
old lady in the gigantic bonnet ate sand
wiches and drank from wicker flask OF
exceliently smelling sherry; the young
lady sat as noiselessly as black-yeiled
statue; fretful babies whimpered, old
gentlemen uttered strange sounds in
their sleep; the lights Aared like sickly
moons overhead, and the shrek of the
train as it flew through the sleeping vii
lagos, sounded like the yell of fiery
throated demon.

1t is claimed by many manufacturers

that the charge of aduiteration is greatly
exaggerated and that what little impuri-

Italian Notions of Queen Victoria.
London Truth


The italian newspapers are full of
stories about the Queen, one more i'm
probable than the other. Here is one:
Queen Victoria is most severe in all re-
garding etiquette and despises every one
who is not Prince, a Marquis or a
Duke. One day the King Of Prussia
presented Humboldt to her. "Here is
the wisest man in my kingdom. and what
is more, my friend" he said. The Queen
WIS indignant. 1t was true that Hum
boldt was a Count, but he had degraded
himself by becoming chemist and there
fore he was a lacguey, like the chemist
who in showing some experiments before
the Duke of Angouleme said: "Mon-
seigncur, the hydrogen and the oxygen
will have the honor to unite in your
presence"
The trusty John Brown, too, seems to
exercise the minds of the Italians great
ly. He is servant devoted to Her Maj
esty. He wears the costume of a High
lander, which he will not abandon in his
grave, according to the superstition of
his country. He is dressed in black
wool, little cap, black stockings, white
CATERS; over this he wears a cloak, at his
side is bag called sporean, made from
the skin of a fox, and his visage is rubi-
cund. Wherever he is he demands ros,
beef and Yorkshire pudding. Like the
Queen he is rigid observerof etiquette,
and he considers every otiense done to
his patroless as an ofiense to himself.

How They ssAdapted Plays"
TAll the Year Round1


M. Dutens, Swiss Protestant clergy
man, resident many years in this coun-
try, in his memoirs of Traveller" pub
lished in 1906, relates how he translated
certain English comedies, not merely for
the sake of improving himself in the Ian
guage, but with view also of trying
what impression they would make upon
a French audience when he returned to
Paris. Accordingly he translated Con-
greve's comedy, "The Way of the World"
emitting it 'Le Monde CONNIE il va"
But with this work the French actors
would have nothing to do; they were
amazed, they said, that any man could
ever have imagined anything $50 extray-
agrant, silly and unnatural"
M. Dutens then applied himself to the
farce of the 'Lying Valet" written by
Garrick, and first produced at the Good
mans Fields Theater, in I'LL. 1t oc-
Cured to him, however, that the author
had probably derived the farce from a
French source; the humor of the dia-
logue, the nature of the story, and the
characters all seemed essentially French.
Before undertaking the translation, there
fore, he wrote to Garrick, inquiring
whether such was the fact. "He returned
very polite answer" writes NJ. Dutens,
assuring me, not only that he had not
taken his piece from the French, but that
he did not know any piece in which the
plot, the character, or the subject had
any resemblance to his. Notwithstand
ing this assurance, when presented it
to the French Theater in Paris as a new
piece, they returned it to me, saying that
it was lie Souper Nal Apprete of Haute-
Roche, with some slight alterations,
which, upon examination, found to be
the fact"
Garrick seems to have been deficient
in canfor; the Lying Valet" was in
truth founded upon "All Without
Money" being the second act of com
pound sort of comedy called ''Noveltv
or, Every Act Plav," written by Mot
teux, the translatorof Don Quixotc, and
produced at the Lincoln's Inn Fields
Theater in 1897; and "All Without
Money" was certainly derived from the
French. The old English comedy OF
The Devil to Pay" the plot of which is
borrowed from the story of "Mopsa," in
Sir Philip Sidney's "Arcadia," has trav
eled to France, and then in various forms
been reimported to this country.
50, in latter timet, the late Mr.. Oxen
ford's farce of "Twice Killed" which is
believed to have German ORIGINAL, has
appeared in France as "Bon Soir, Signor
Plantation" to be brought back to this
country as translated operetta, "Good
Night and Pleasant Dreams" while a
piece founded upon the novel of Jack
Sheppard has furnished Paris with q
melodrama, which, in its turn, has beer
adapted from the French and made to dc
duty again as an English play. Among
other adaptations, it is curious to fine
the "Beggar's Opera" translated into
French by one Adam Hallam, an English
actor, and successfully PLAYED at tn,
Haymarket Theater by French com
pany about 1870.

We prefer planting in the spring as early as the
ground will permit; but potgrown plants set in
August Or September will produce good crop
the next season. For garden culture, the mos
convenient method is to plant in beds four feet
wide, three rows in each bed, and plants one foot
apart in the row. Thoroughly enrich the soil. dig
deep keep clean Of weeds, cover lightly in winter
with corn stalks or some coarse litter, iake OFF in
the spring, dress the beds and mulch with the
same litter or short grass from the lawn.
Plant anew bed every year, spade under after

and evade unsghtly beds.
