'How has 'Zoroaster' escaped drama
tization?' I asked.
'sSeveral have attempted ii" was the
reply, 'and many asked permission,
''but no one has yet succeeded. Any
body is welcome to try it. l should be
very glad to have it dramatized, but |
think it is better adapted for an opera.
The difficulty in the drama is to find two
actresses Of equal beauty and power
willing to accept rival roles. In an
opera this could be avoided by a soprano
and contralto. An Italian composer was
accused several years ago of stealing his
libretto from 'Zoroaster.'" 1

Crawford's first novel, E'Mr. Isaacs,"
appeared in 1882 1t was begun as a
short story and enlarged to please an
uncle. When the second chapter was
done he thought he would let the hero
fall in love with an English girl, to see,
as he expressed it, how it would go. He
was then editing a paper in India, and
Nine. Blavatsky and Theosophy were
the topics of the hour. So Theosophy was
introduced into ''Mr. Isaacs," which led
many readers to suspect Mr.. Crawford
was of that ism rather than the practi-
| cal Catholic that he is.

The Geranium Indoors.

There are many persons who THINK
that space in greenhouses and in window
gardens should be reserved for some
thing better than pelargoniums, and yet
there is no class of plants that surpasses
these for profusion of bloom, brilliancy
and variety of color and general adapt
ability for house culture.
: The most successful winter Towering
geraniums are those grown from cut
tings especially for the purpose, just as
roses are grown. A warm, airy and well
lighted house is best for them, and the
temperature should be kept at from 90
to 65 dogs. They will need few stakes,
which are slightly spread, and the
shoots should be tied so as to keep the
center of the plant open.
Among single Powered varieties suit
able for the conservatory or for window
culture are: White-Queen of the
Whites, Improved, International, Lily,
Mrs. Benedict. Pink-Lady F. Russell,
Mrs. Joyson, Norah. Salmon-Countess
of Derby, Mrs: D. Sanders. Purple and
magenta Richard Dean, DR.. R. G. Tuck
er, Lord Churchill. Crimson and scar
let-Mr. II. Cannell, Brilliant.
Among the double lowered kinds may
be named the following: White-La
Cygne Salmon-Queen of the Fairies
Scarlet-G Golden Dawn, N. Bruant. Pink
Mary Geering, Glorie de France. Deep
crimson-Black Knight.

A Harmless Treatment.

A young woman who hasa beautifully
rounded throat, with lovely neck and
arms to match, attributes her beauty in
that direction entirely to simple course
Of treatment.
She says: ITO begin with, you must be
prepared for a somewhat disagreeable
pdor and the ruination Of your night
lobe; therefore put aside the Oldest
gowns and go to work by yourself and
you will work wonders in three weeks.
1.-THE process is merely amounting with

Fou good half hour, but you will be
-sepaid by the identifying effect 1t will
have in a remarkably short time. Per
severance must be your watchword,
however, until. the form commences to
'ound out; then the treatment need not
be so frequent in warm weather, and
not more than three times a week in

The Lawrence Peach.

The Lawrence is a Seeding that orig
mated in West Virginia. 1t is described
in The Rural New Yorker as possessing
high quality for peach in it's season.
Moreover, it has withstood tempera-
ture that has in every case proved fatal
to all other peaches. Since the sprout
came from the root it has not failed to
produce full crop each season, yet the
trees around it have produced but one
crop in four years.
The peaches have a yellow skin, some
of them showing considerable red at the
blossom end or on one cheek. The vari-
ETY. is of medium size, a freestone,
yellow fleshed and of a quality equal to
or excelling the average of late peaches.
The suture mark shows plainly on one
side, and most of them have the pecu-
liar Melacoton tip, though reduced in
size. The Lawrence is ready for market
about the middle of October.
The Portland daily press., 1892-12-03

After his second novel he never at
tempted to write without definite pur-
pose. Experience has taught him never
to begin novel without clearly de-
fined framework.
His method of procedure is interest
ing and instructive. A novel Of 10000
words he divides into twelve chapters.
He marks the chapters in which most
effective episodes are to take place-the
climaxes, etc.-then fills in the incidents.
In a novel of 150, 900 words he divides the
development into thirty chapters, then
puts in the headings and is generally
able to write the story out as planned.
The plots of some of his stories were out
lined in an hour, while others cost six
months labor. He takes his characters
and incidents from life and keeps anote-
book in which he jots his observations.
He knows the people and places of
which he writes.
He speaks four tongues fuently. To
write the (Which of Prague" he went to
Bohemia. The name of the hero he
picked up from a signboard. He has
lived in every port in Europe and advo-
Gates the adjustment of our diplomatic
service. When ready to write he shuts
himself up and rarely leaves the house
until the story is completed. Five thou
sand words day is his average work,
while frequently 1000 words go from
his hand to the printer without an alter
alton.
81 cannot write a short story" added
Mr.. Crawford. 81 never wrote but one,
and that was horrible ghost yarn"
He does not read many of the novelists
Of the day. Zone may unconsciously
initiate, and I don't want another fell
lows paint to stick to my coat" was the
ingenious apology. 81 have read, how
ever, Gallagher and Other StoTies.'
They are tremendously good"
Mr.. Crawford thinks there is greater
scope for the novelist in America than
elsewhere-more originality and diver
sity Of character-but as it would take
him several years to learn its phases he
does not expect to utilize his present trip
to any extent in future stories. Mr..
Crawford will be joined in the spring
by his wife, who, with their four chill
dren, is now at their home at Sorrento
on the Bay of Naples.

Peach buds can be protected by bend

ering with some light, thin material.
The Royal Church raspberry is con-
sidered at the New York station to be a
very promising berry. 1t is OF bright

The demand for cranberries is re-

Plants in windows should be turned
once or twice a week. A fine form,
which is half the beauty of plant, can
not be attained without this.
The Pompon chrysanthemums still
find admirers, even though they have
been rather crowded out by the larger
and more snowy Japanese varieties.

Vigorous growth and pretty shape are
not confined to the pin oak, as the red,
black, scarlet and messy cup also take
good shapes and grow rapidly in Guilt
walton. For shade trees they ought to
come into general use, as they trans
plant as well as most trees, and the
trunks are always straight. No one
who plants row of the kinds named

Chrysanthemums are becoming as pop

mix the blossoms with truffies and

A Valuable Suggestion.

Mr.. E. Williams, of Montclair, N. j.,
makes asuggestion worthy Of note. 1t
is to the effect that the necessity of re-
peating SO often the words pistillate,
staminate, hermaphrodite and bisexual,
to designate the sexual character of the
strawberry, may be easily avoided by
giving. to pistillate varieties feminine
names and to perfect lowered varieties

The Cotton Report.

Special to the Gazette.
NEW ORLEANS, LA, Feb. 27.-Atwood,
Violet & Co. say:
Although Liverpool is 9-64 better, caus-
ing an improvement here OF points, our
cables from there to-day are not at all en-
couraging and say they think the improve
menu will not hold. All the improvement
was lost here and we close 1 point lower
than yesterday, and since closing is points
lower.
1t is hard to put life into the spot market
in Liverpool and that is where any inherent
strength in the market must first develop
itself. There are estimates for port re-
ceipts this week of 10000 bales, against
III, 600 bales this week last year. The
amount coming into sight this week will
probably be 125, 600 bales, against about the
same last year.
Port receipts to-day are $1,000 bales
against $4,000 bales last year. The esti-
mate of receipts here Monday was "a, 900
bales against $4,000 bales at all ports last
year. This has had great deal to do with
weakening the market there. We feel sure
our expectations of 100000 bales to be in
sight on the first of April will be realized,
and it looks as though it might be nearer
$500 0O0
Exports from the United States up to last
night were only $4,000 bales larger than
last year, yet Liverpool alone has 660,000
bales more of American on hand and
afoat than last year. Again we ask, if the
consumption of the English spinners is as
large as represented, where does this
large accumulation come from2 We reply
by saying it is explained by spinners and
spectators taking less than last year.
This we regard as the weakest point in
the whole situation and we ask our read
ers to keep the situation there in view in
making up their opinion about the
probable course of prices.
Spots closed quiet. Sales, 200 bales.
Quotations unchanged.
F. 0. b. sales, 500 bales; very little doing.
