Tho impression is no doubt general
that tho tropics arc especially favor
able to fruit culture. Travellers de-
scribe in glowing colors the appear
ance of orange trees bearing at one
and the same time blossoms, green
fruit and ripe. Such a condition of
things is convenient and desirable in
cases where the fruit is raised for home
consumption, but it is q serious draw
back to expectation. A fixed season
for harvesting is necessary if the aim
of the culturist be supplying q foreign
market.
In the case of fruit which has to be
gathered in clusters, like the grape,
this habit of ripening ~indifferently at
any time of year is q most inconven-
lent one.
1t is said by observers that in Brazil
and in tropical Africa grapes look
well, but the punches never ripen
thoroughly. In fact, the same cluster
will contain berries of every age,f from
the smallest green to the oldest purple.
For the making of wine this makes
necessary a sorting of the berries,
which involves n great deal of labor
and trouble, as well as q waste of fruit.
Again, in many parts of tropical
America, the hot season is also the
rainy season. The wet and heat to-
gether lead to rapid decay as the fruit
approaches maturity.
To protect itself from this danger,
the skin of the grape is said to become
thick and leathery, and it acquires an
unpleasant taste. We all aware how
thick is the peel of the orange and
lemon, and how abundant is the oil it
contains to protect from decay the
pulp within. Companion.

Music for 1rving.s ..sracbeth."

Sir Arthur Sullivan's music, composed
specially for the revival of macbeth"
In London, consists of an overture, pre-
ludes to the second, third, fifth and
sixth acts, incidental music with a chorus
In the fourth act, and incidental music
In the first, third and sixth acts. The
overture, so far as 1t is possible to Judge
from a single hearing, seems to be
strictly orthodox, and opens with
three loud chords in the key of @ minor;
and then, without further preamble, ap-
pears the principal subject-a suave but
somber theme, played by string instru-
ments alone. In the second part the
overture works up to a tremendous eli
a The musical critics consider it
one Of the finest examples of its class
that Sir Arthur Sullivan has ever pro-
duced. The two choruses are very
sweet. 1t is in the fourth act, however,
that Sullivan has displayed the greatest
art and his richest wealth of imagina-
tive power. Music of an either weird or
agitated character is heard well nigh
throughout the scene In the cavern be-
tween Macbeth and the witches. 1t
punctuates the utterances of the hays as
they mix their hell broth in the caldron.

Couldn't Beat tho WIDOW.

The Albany Journal states that a dirty,
foul mouthed tramp called at the house
of a Bethlehem widow, living alone,
about z o'clock in the morning, and
offered to saw wood in return for q
breakfast The woman eyed him sus-
piciously. "Are ye hungryr' she asked.
"Yessum, hungrier nor a bear" .WeIl,
ye can have yer feed first, l guess" He
was given a bountiful meal. AT its con-
clusion the tramp rose and took up his
ugly looking bludgeon. "rll keep my
eyes wide open tight" he said, grinning,
and If l see a man as wants ter saw yer
wood fer his breakfast I'll give him yer
address" Then he opened the door and
slouched out. He had gone but a few
steps when he heard the widows sharp
voice calling q halt. He turned with an
oath and saw q gun pointed squarely at
him. The widow ordered him to come
right back. He came back and sawed
not one, but two, cords of wood, killed
and plucked two chickens, whitewashed
the hen house and cleaned out the COW
stable. He will not repeat the visit in a
hurry.

Attention t a few general rules would
prevent many strange appearances. For
instance, a woman should never be
dressed too little, nor girls too much;
nor should n woman of small stature at
tempt large patterns, o a bad walker
hounces; stout threats should not carry
feathers, nor high shoulders a shawl.
From the highest to the lowest there is
not q style of beauty with which the
plain straw hat is not on the best of un-
derstandings. 1t refines the homeliest
and composes the widest; it gives a Co
quettish young lady a little dash of de-
murement, and the demure one a slight
touch of coquetry; it makes the bloom
ing beauty look more fresh and the pale
one more interesting; it makes the plain
woman look, at all events, a lady, and
the lady moro lady like still.-Leisure

Court Life mt Tho Hague.

The court and the capital at The
Hague, which is a city of about 140, 900
inhabitants, are not much frequented by
foreign visitors, owing to their lacking
In general gayety and those lavish en-
tertafnments which are considered to be
Indispensable features, and which exer-
else such a fascinating attraction in a
continental capital. Dutch court life
and society are pronounced by the elite
of the fashionable world to be absolutely
dull in their distinguishing home like
plainness and narrowness. Necessarily
a court presided over by an aged king
and queen, if their tastes reign, must be
forbidden ground for extravaganza festiv-
tiles, and as the staid character of the
people,, with the quietude which must
accompany the capital of such people,
are really not calculated to offer any
very lively field for frolicking, SO it Is
not astonishing, on the whole, if out
siders are wont to give them the go by.

a LITTLE RHrNKD STORY.
The wind was blowing over the moorS
And the sun shone bright upon heather and

Which stand about Haworth vicaraEe,
And Il streamed through a window In

Twas the woman all England praised just then;
But what for Its praise cared shei
Fame cannot dazzle or aattery charm
One who goes lonely day by day
On the lonely moors. where the plovers cry,
And the sobblng wind as IT hurHes by
Has no comforting word To say.
So. famous and lonely and sad, shs sat-
And steadily wrote the morning through;
Then at stroke OF twelve, laid her task aside
And out to the kitchen swiftly HE'D
Now what was she going TO dor
Why. Tabby, the servant was ''past her work.
And her eyes had failed as her strength run low.
And the tolls, ones easy. had one by one
Become too hard. or were left half done
By tho aged hands and slow.
So, every day, without saying a word.
Hes famous mistress laid down the pen.
Rckneaded the bread. or silently stole
The Potatoes away In their wooden bowl
And pared them all over again.
She did not say, as she might have done,
The less TO the larger must give way,
These things are little, while | am great;
And tho world will not always stand and walt
For the words that I have to say"
No; the clever fingers that wrought so we'll
And the eyes that could pierce to the hearts

She lent 10 the humble tasks and small;
Nor counted the time as lost ut oil,
So Tabby were but c~outenti

And Fame has n honcyed urn TO nh;
But the good deed dono for love, not fame

A banker in Lille, France, had the
misfortune to wet eighteen bills of the
Bank of France, and in order to dry
them he placed them on a board at an
open window whore the sun shone upon
them. They dried more rapidly than
was anticipated. A gust of wind car
ried them into the street, where, unfor-
tunately, a goat picking up odds and
ends at once captured the bank bills and
swallowed them. The goat was pur-
chased, and the bills secured in a very
dilapidated condition, but the Bank of
France recognized its obligations and re-
deemed them.-Chicago Herald.

America is the homo of all forms of
eccentricity and daring. Has not the
vastness of the continent the Ameri-
cans inhabit something to do with this9
| think so. There is that boundlessness
about the notions of an American
which must be born of the vastness,
the limitless possibilities of such a
great territory. To the American, his
daring and eccentricity are the
most natural things in the world, and
this Is what makes a great part of his
charm. He talks of, or does, things
that fairly take your breath way
just MS coolly rs if they were mat
tcrs of every day occurrence
Parisians remember to this day
the American millionaire was
going TO say billionaire-who, on the
occasion of his daughters wedding,
wrote TO tho town council of Paris
TO ask for the loan of the Arc de
Triomphe, which he was anxious to
decorate in honor of the wedding and
have the special useof during the day.
He was politely informed that the
arch was not to let. Then | will buy
it." he replied; 'name your price,
An American would ask the queen of
England to let him have Windsor
castle for the shooting season, and if
she refused a good price for it, he
would probably have a very poor idea
of her. Tho looking upon everything
and everybody as being TO be had at a
price, is one of the chief forms of this
daring of the American. 1t would be
an ugly trait in his character if often
1t were not SO preposterous as to be
amusing, and if it were not backed by
q perfect bonhomie. Max O'Rel.

We offer no apology for devoting so much time
and attention to this much neglected class of
diseases, believing that no condition of human
ity is too wretched to merit the sympathy and
best services OF the profession TO which we be-
long, as many are innocent sufferers, and that
the physician who devotes himself
to relieving the afflicted and saving
them from worse than death, is no less a
philanthrophist and n benefactor TO his race
than the surgeon or physician who by close APP
plication excels IN any other b anch of his pro-

is dawning when the false philanthropy that
condemned the victims of folly or crime, like

While the other large railroad companies
doing business in New York state have cheer
fully bowed to the will of the people and abol-
ished the coal stove from their passenger cars,
the New York, New Haven and Hartford has
held out, taking issue with the commissioners
on the language of the statute. 1t seems that
the stove law is made to apply to roads so
miles long. The rebellious company has one
several hundred miles long, but only &c miles
of its rails are actually within the state Of New
York. The encouragement holds, and ap-
parently with good reason, that the act was in
tended to cover all roads of the specified
length which lie wholly or in part
in New York, and has carried a suit
for $1,000 Of penalties successfully through
the special term of the Supreme Court. The
General Term and the Court of Appeals have
still to pass upon it. What the legislature in
tended to do, obviously, was to protect any per-
son who travelled for more than two or three
hours over one road, regardless of the question
whether the whole of the journey was made in
side Of the state boundaries or a part of it
outside. One result of the struggle of the
New Haven company is likely to be a more
stringent provision tackled on the law next
winter.

Last night ex-President Cleveland was warmly
welcomed to private life in New York city by
Gov. Hill and other enthusiastic friends Mr.
Cleveland in the course of his speech declined
to apologize to the democracy or to confess dis
loyalty, and intimated that as a partisan Presi-
dent he had done the best he could, in view of
the proposition that parties should, no more
than individuals be untruthful and dishonest. "
In the heat of his disclaimer of party disloy-
atty Mr.. Cleveland said some very compli-
mentary things concerning the democratic
party. He admitted that stiffness has in
fuenced democratic party conduct only at
times, while he declared this stiffness to be
the ''habitual device" of democracy's oppo-
nents. He also found reason to eulogize
democracy, which has at present no fed
eral appointments TO bestow. in the fact
that it does mot use the promise and bestowal
of place for the purpose of sitting the press
and bribing the people" This dig at President
Harrison and his foreign appointments, which
in part utilize the brains and energy of news
paper men for the benefit of the public service,
ought to be especially pleasing to those who
resent the filing Of Offices with those blanked
Literary fellers." Doubtless the reconciliation
between Mr.. Cleveland and 1.-THE politicians" is
now complete.
