ABOUT PLAYS AND PLAYERS,
Salvini to Appear in a Repor-
tory of Heroic Roles.
News and Gossip About Actors and
Their Work.
Young salvini and His Great Success.
Miss Marlowe Is Coming-Per-
sOnal and Other
Gossip.

Among the stars of greater promi.
nence now engaging the attention of the
dramatic world in this country the one
that is probably attracting the most
comment is young Alexander Salvini,
who will be seen by our theater goers
for the first time during the last four
nights of thisweek.
His youth must certainly be factor
in the enthusiasm which he has evoked,
for the success he has won as an actor
would have been equally remarkable in
any other of the liberal professions.
To become proficient as an exponent OF
the drama would seem to require as
much study and experience as in the
profession of medicine or the law, for
genuine success 10 as rarely accorded to
youth in the one as it is in the other,
and there are as many poor doctors and
lawyers at the age of 60 as there are
poor actors. Perhaps it would be better
to concede the drama to rank among
the arts, though it rarely evolves any
thing more than to mimic. 1t is only
the advent, however, of such actors pos
sessing the ability ascribed to young
Salvini that would tempt one to do 30.
Salvini's father, Tomasso Salvini, the
Talma of modern Europe, possessed the
dramatic instinct properly called genius
to a remarkable degree, and it would
only be in the natural order of things If
it is inherited by the son. 1t is more
than probable that such is the case. for

The Land of Gardens.

Charles Howard Shinn has very in
teresting article (illustrated) entitled
Picturesque Plant Lite of California, in
the October Century, from which we
quote the following paragraph: Califor-
MIA astonished tine botanical world long
before it began to play much of part in
politics or business. Nee, the botanist,
was at San Diego and Monterey 100
years ago, and his collections are still to
be seen at Madrid DR.. Menzies, whose
portfolios are partly at Kew, partly at
the British museum, spent several
seasons on the coast few years
after Nee. David Douglas, one OF the
most devoted and successful botanical
explorers, reached the Pacific coast in
1926. Nuttall sent his herbarium to
Harvard university. Pickering, Hart
veg, Coulter and others were early in
the field. None of them were more
typical investigators than the late DR..
q. q. Parry, who first crossed the coun-
try with the Mexican boundary commits
sion. At intervals, for 40 years after, he
was familiar figure to the hunters,
prospectors, mountaineers, and all sorts
of outdoor people from abe Arizona
deserts to the Siskiyou pine forests. So
early were collectors in the region, and go
universal was the interest felt in Eu-
rope over the new plants of the Pacific
coast that many trees of sequoias and
other superb conifers were planted in
the parks of England, France and Italy
long before the discovery of gold.
Wealthy Californians, as early as 1855,
visiting Europe, were surprised to
find how popular were the bril-
liant ANNALS, Towering shrubs,
vines and trees of their own state.
Returning, they often urged neighbors
to cultivate more of tho native plants,
but with little effect. In Alameda
county q plain, uneducated English
woman of Lancashire yeoman stock was
one OF the first persons in all California
to make home garden Of wild flowers
from field and hill. l remember in my
boyhood the passionate devotion that
she showed to this pursuit. cit do be

The following was read before the last
session of the American Science associa-
tion: "It is suggested that the Ameri-
can Association for the Advancement of
Science, in the absence of national
flower, request the management of the
Columbian exposition to adopt the
columbine as the flower of the fair, leav-
ing the national flower, whatever it may
prove to be, to grow in popularity. Its
name comes from the same root as Col
umbia, name our country often bears !;
it is classed with the aquilegia or eagle
variety, because its petals end in
spurs resembling the talons
of an eagle; it grows in red,
white and blue, our national colors it
has fine trumpet shaped petals, corre-
spending to the five points of the star
upon our flag. and these are indigenous
to the North American continent, q
hardy perennial and wild flower that is
found in every part of our land, growing
even upon the Rocky mountains, and in
the very heart of the country. 1t Is ap-
propriate in name, form and color. Its
name suggests Columbia, and it's form ie
the prototype of the Phyrgian liberty
cap, the head dress of Columbia, and an
exact copy of Cornucopia, the symbol OF
the Columbian exposition,

Some Points About Berries.

An eastern gardening authority says:
''It is foolish to manure blackberries,
blackcaps and raspberries after they
begin bearing. An application of nitro
gen makes rank growth of wood late
in the season, and it winter. kills because
it does not mature. To feed the plants
with potash and phosphoric acid does
not prove Objectionable and makes good
fruit. Ashes and ground bone are the
things to use."

Pruning Trees.


There are two schools of opposite ex-
tremes in regard to pruning, says Nee
hans Monthly. One is not to neglect
to cut and slash on every occasion; to
use their own motto, whenever the
pruning knife lie sharp" and the other
would cut not at all, but leave every
thing to nature. In the management of
an apple orchard pruning is essential
All the weak shoots, those which seem
to suffer from overbearing. or from any
cause, which are not as healthy as 9TH
ers, should be carefully cut out every
year; and moreover, wherever the
branches are likely to be thick and
struggle with each other for light, they
should also be thinned. A perfectly
healthy apple tree should he so man
aged with the pruning knife that every
branch should have fair chance to
have it's leaves fairly we'll exposed to
the light. A large quantity of half

Mr.. Everest at Riverside, who lost
heavily last year in the injury to his
oranges by frost, this year has adopted
a contrivance with which he hopes to
avoid similar calamity. This con-
trivance consist of 100 gallon iron cask
on each acre filled with oil, from which
two pipes run along between the rows
Of trees, with half dozen elbows to the
acre 20 feet apart, over which are fat
sheet iron pans, into which oil splatters
and burns as it vaporizes. Burning at
the rate of one gallon per burner every
hour, an intensely hot flame is made,
which rises several feet and creates also
dense smoke, which acts as a smudge.
The cost is estimated at about $32 pei
acre.
