From all Of which it will be clearly seen
that Mr.. Tombey was decidedly a young
man above the average, and one who took
punishment very well. Augusta looked

which the great ship was rushing with
outspread sails like some huge white bird

How a Girl Got Engaged.


Across the fields as we idly strolled,
In the cloudless summer day,
The winds were waiting the rare perfume
From the meadows of new mown ha
And our hearts were still, as our lips kept
time
To our steps on that pleasant way.
And down where the brook like a Maynard
child,
Rushes on DER the pebbly floor,
And sprinkles the rocks with its diamond
spray,
And ripples along the shore,
We stopped at the crossing; l gave him my
hand,
And trustingly followed him DER.
And when, in the twilight, we came again
Our lips for the once were still,
And he held my hands as we crossed the
stream,
And hardly against my will;
For gave my heart when I gave my hand,
AT the foot of the noisy rill.
And when in the shade of the vine clad
porch
We parted, it seemed to me,
The stars were twinkling in rare delight,
Though I'm sure no eye could see
If the spot on my cheek had a crimson
blush,
And my heart an ecstacy.

For the chappies my face will scan, mother,

And the gray hairs thicker grow.

Fix it the usual way,
For I've got to look young and fair, mother,

The American public has no right TO
complain Of any decay of dramatic art.
The American people are themselves
responsible for the fact that the stage
has, TO some extent, become a sort of
museum for the exhibition Of notorious
people. The stage differs from the reg
ulation dime museum in that instead Of
being devoted 10 the display of per-
verted physiques il relies on people
with misshapen moral natures. IL is
fair to presume that the heroine of
every divorce scandal would not turn at
once TO the stage but for the fact that
the public encourages her TO do so. 1t
is notoriety and not ability that makes
the actress Of today. People who have
they get before the public. Women
who have achieved what in the
o~ld-fashioned days was considered unvia-
able notoriety, step at once into promi-
nent places in the theatrical profession
andcmploy in ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
those who have spent years in cultiyat-
ing talents which, at the very start,
were superior to those of the star"
1t is q mere matter Of public curiosity
now; not a question Of dramatic merit.
This discouraging phase of the theat-
rical outlook is modified by the superb
GRITTY of modern stage equipments.
Never before were plays mounted with
such splendid completeness as TO every
thing except as TO cast Of characters.
When this mechanical excellence is
combined with the true dramatic spirit,
and there is no reason to think that
this time will not come, the stage VIII
for the first time in its centuries of his
tory reach the zenith Of its possibilities

The Pecan Orchard.

The bearing condition OF the pecan
(like the orange) may be FASTENED by
several years by budding or grating
from bearing trees. Then there is an
other advantage, to-wit. seedlings OF
the pecan may or may not bear fruit
like the parent. Much will depend
upon their not being crossed by tho
pollen of an inferior variety. 1t is al
ways advisable. of course (on account
of the difficulty experienced in trans
planting all nutbearing trees), to
propagate upon stocks grown upon
the spot where the tree is to stand.
After the young trees have grown large
enough to be beyond the reach OF
stock the pecan orchard may be per-
mitted to grow up in grass for hay, or
used for pasture.
The demand for good nuts is increas-
ing, while a poor article is often drug
upon the market. Hence the wisdom
propagating only from the best vari-
cites of large, paper-shelled fruit
They should be given plenty of room,
say fifty feet apart at least. This will
allow thirteen trees to the acre. o.
