Hancock had still l6S votes less than the

and the changes swept on until every vote

the start, and it was his record as soldier

CHIP DIRT FOR FRUIT TREEs-The best

TALLY or thoroughly decomposed chip dirt.
We made use Of this material twenty years
ago in planting an apple orchard, and it was
wonder to those not in the secret what caused
the trees to make such fine growth the first
season. This experiment was so satisfactory
that when we set our new orchard we made a
liberal use of this material, with the same
satisfactory result. Chip dirt is the best ma.
terial to mix with the soil as you plant the
tree that can be used, as it holds moisture and
is full of the elements of plant food. A tree
is not only more sure to live, but will make
double the growth the first year if two BUSH

drouths which now and then occur, it is COM
mon to see persons everywhere at work water
ing the gardens to keep things alive until the
regular rains come. 1t is, however, the eXpe-
rience of all that the more a garden is Wa
tered the more it wants, and thus on the
whole it does little good. Yet water can be
so given as to be free from this objection. 1t
is the hardening Of the surface which causes
the evil, and a hard compact surface always
dries out faster than a loose one The proper
way is to take the earth away for a few inches
around the plant to be watered, so as to make
4 sort of basin, and into this pour the water,
letting it gradually soak away. After it has
all disappeared and the surface gets little dry,
then draw the earth back again which has been
displaced to make the basin. This will make
loose surface over the Watered part, which
will preserve it from drying out rapidly. To-
matoes, egg plants, cabbages and other things
of this character, watered in this way, will
need no renewal of water for several weeks
1t is a slow way of getting work done, but is
the only sure way of doing it.
TIE TURPENTINE REMEDY.-An aged
physician in Washington, who is retired from
practice, a man of extensive learning and high
character, says that the younger practitioners
laugh at him for recommending turpentine as
a remedy for disease of the lungs. He con-
tends that they have nothing bettert to suggest;
indeed, they have no remedy for consumption.
He claims that in twenty-seven clear cases of
throat disease the use of this remedy under his
own direction has restored several parties to
fair health, one of these being his own wife
and another being man who, from being un-
able to sit or to lie in prostrate position, has
been for five years past doing engineers work
in the Treasury.
The remedy is simple: Procure at a drug
store some white turpentine; take in the mouth
a bit the size Of pea swallow the slowly dis
solving substance, and when it is quite soft
swallow the lump. The same remedy is excel
lent for cold. This medicine is an old one,
not at variance, however, with the modern
notion of sending patients to piny regions to
inhale turpentine odors.

tonished to find how utterly distinct the
two kinds of stupidity are, and how in
tensely amusing both can be made.
There are two pedantic, pompous, dull
advocates in Mr.. Browning's "The Ring
and the Book" How distinct they are !:
how different, how unlike, and how true
are the two portraits But then it must
be owned that the poet sometimes allows
his pedants to be as tiresome as they
would be in real life, if each successfully
held weary listener by the button
George Eliot is not guilty of any such
artistic fault. No one wants to be rid of
Mrs Poyser, or Aunt Glegg, or the pratt
ing Florentines in Romolo. There never
was or could be Mark Tapley or Sam
Weller We put up with these impossi-
bilities and delight in them. because they
are so amusing and so full of fantastic
humor. But Mrs Poyser lives, and every
one knows an Aunt Glegg, and poor Mrs.
Tulliver's cares and hopes and little fears
and pitiful reasonings are animating hun
dreds of Mrs Tullivers all over England.
George Eliot has infused into the novel
some elements it never had before: and
so thoroughly infused them that they
blend with all the other materials, and do
not form anywhere solid lump or mass
distinguishable from the rest There are
philosophical novels" Wilhelm Meis-
ter" for example-which are weighed
down and loaded with philosophy, and
which the world only admires in spite of
the philosophy. There are political
novels-Lord Beaconsfeld's for instance
which are only ineligible to those
who make politics and political pers onal-
tiles study, and which viewed merely as
stories would not be worth speaking
about. There are moves with a great
direct purpose in them, such as Uncle
Toms Cabin, or Bleak House, or Mr..
Charles Reade's Hard Cash. But these,
after all, are only magnificent pamphlets,
splendidly illustrated diatribes. The
deep philosophic thought of George Ell
lots best novels quietly suffuses and IL
Eliminates them everywhere. There is
no sermon here, no lecture there, no solid
mass interposing between this incident
and that, no ponderous moral hung
around the neck of this or that person
age. The reader feels that he is under
the spell of one who is not merely great
story-teller, but who is also deep
thinker.-F%on1 Justin McCarthys HIS

Migration of Birds.

The swittness of flight which character
ICES most birds enables them to cover
vast space in brief time, The common
black swift can fly 276 miles an hour,
speed which, if it could be maintained
for less than half day, would carry
the bird from its winter to its summer
quarters. The large purple swift of
America is capable of even greater feats
on the wing. The chimney swallow is
slower, 80 miles an hour being about the
limit of its powers; but the passenger
pigeon of the United States can accom-
plish journey Of 1000 miles between
sunrise and sunset. 1t is also true, as
the ingenious Heer Palmer has attempt
ed to show that migrants during their
long flights may be directed by an expe-
rience partly inherited and partly &C
quired by the individual bird. They
often follow the coast line of continents,
and invariably take, on their passage over
the Mediterranean, one of three routes.
But this theory will not explain how
they pilot themselves across broad oceans,
and is invalidated by the fact, familiar
to every ornithologist, that the old and
young birds do not journey in company
Invariably, the young broods travel to-
gether, then come, after an interval, the
parents, and finally the rear is brought

tumn. The return journey is accom-

George Eliot.

The fiction of this second period has
one really great name, and one only. The
author of Adam Bede and The MIL ON
the Floss stands on a literary level with
Dickens and Thackeray and Charlotte
Bronte George Eliot" as this author
chooses to call herself, is undoubtedly a
great writer, merely as writer. Pro
baby no other novel-writer, since novel
writing became a business, ever possessed
anything like her scientific KNOWLEDGE.
Unfortunately, her scientific KNOWLEDGE
"oer informed" her later novels, and
made them oppressive to readers who
longed for the early freshness of Adona
Bede. Nothing is much rarer than the
union OF the scientific and the literary or
artistic temperaments. So rare is it that
the exceptional the almost solitary in
stance OF Goethe comes up at once. dis
tlnct and striking to the mind. English
novellsts are even less likely to have any
thing Of a scientific taste than French or
German. Dickens knew nothing of sci
ence, and had, indeed, as little knowledge
OF any kind, save that which is derived
from observation, as any respectable Eng
hshman could well have. Thackerav
was man of varied reading, versed in
the lighter literature of several LANGUAGES
and strongly imbued with artistic tastes
but he had no care for science, and knew
OF 1T only what every one has to learn at
school. Lord Lyttons science was a
mere sham. Charlotte Bronte was genius
and ignorance. George Eliot is genius
and culture. Had she never written a
page of fiction, she must have been re-
garded with admiration by all who knew
her as woman Of deep thought and of a
varied knowledge such as men compIa-
Gently believe to be the possession only
Of men.
It was not this however, which made
her a great novelist. Her eyes were not
turned inward or kept down in metaphv-
seal contemplation. She studied the
living world around her. She had an
eye for external things, keen almost as
that Of Dickens or Balzac. GEORGE Eliot
is the only novelist who can paint such
English people as the Poysers and the
Tulllvers just as they are. She looks into
the very souls of such people. She tracks
out their slow, peculiar mental processes
she reproduces them fresh and firm from
very life. Mere realism, mere photo
graphing, even from the life, is not in art
a great triumph. But George Eliot can
make her dullest people interesting and
dramatically effective She can paint
two dull people with quite different WAYS
Of dullness-a dull man and dull wo-
man, for example-and the reader is as
