a writer in Farm and Ranch gives
his experience in pear growing in
Texas, and after having tried many
varieties concludes that the Kieffer is
the best. He says of this pear
The Keifftr has proven more pro-
ftable with me than all other varie-
ties / have sufficiently tested to pro-
nounce upon. 1t my Keiffers have
ever biigh,ed at all, it was very
slight. All other varieties that /
have had for a number of years have
bligh:ed, and that badly. The deep,
sandy soils are not adapted to pear
growing. Pears do far better on our
stiff prairie soils. For the first few
years the pear should be thoroughly
cultivated like all other young Or
chard trees. After it comes into
bearing it should be allowed to 60 to
grass; or if cultivated at all, with
the pillow, it should be early in the
season. Late cultivation causes late
growth, and this late growth is much
more subject to blight than wood
that was ripened up early in the sea-

81 suppose" said an English woman
to two American travellers on the deck
of one of the big transatlantic steamers,
"that you intend to visit Shakespeare's
birthplace"
"Oh, yes" was the answer; "we shall
go to Stratford by all means. You have
been there of courseP" ...
mo; I never have been. Very few
English people 60 there, but it is great
resort for Americans"
"Why is it that English people take
SO little interest, comparatively, in the
town which produced so great a genius?'
"Well, cannot account for it, except
possibly on the theory that one is never
so likely to visit what is always within
ones reach as are those who go to a
strange country with the special object
of sightseeing. Why, on this very
steamer l have met an American who
told me. that, although his home is close
to New York, he has never visited your
Metropolitan Museum of Art in Central
park except once, while he has been a
number of times to the British museum,
and repeatedly to the Louvre. Now, l
fancy that if he lived few hundred
miles from New York, and occasionally
went there to see the sights he would
have much more intimate knowledge
of the museum than he has now, when
it is within his reach every day, or at
least every week. New York Tribune.

How a ohinaman Kills . Chicken.


One might imagine that the China
man who gorges himself with broiled
rats and birds nest soup would eat any
Kind of meat prepared in any manner,
but such is not the case. John China
man has his religious notions about
such things as well as other people.
Many of the almond eyed inhabitants of
Chicago are not very good Buddhists.
Since coming to the city they have be-
come apostate. But watch the orthodox
Chinaman when he goes to the market
for his Sunday chicken. He viii not
take dead one because the probabiE-
ties are that the fellow who killed it was
not a believer in Gautama and may have
chopped its head off with Ratchet. His
chicken must have it head on and be
very much alive.
John will go to the coop and stir the
feathered prisoners up with stick. II
he finds one that cackles and futters
about in a lively manner he will buy 1t.
He has no use for a dumpish, sickly ap-
pearing fowl.
Having made selection he takes the
chicken home alive, gets out a dirty lit
tie image, kneels before it, makes some
queer motions with his hands, mumbles
few words, takes from shelf or
drawer knife with double edged
blade which is extremely sharp, and
with much ceremony whacks off the
head of the fowl. This done he returns
to the image, and kneeling again apollo
gizes for having committed such wick
ed deed and proceeds to prepare the
chicken for dinner Chicago Tribune.

Some Horrors of Ouackery.

The old proverb, "Any port in
Storm" has often found practical illus
tration in the empirical treatment of
disease. Time was when even regular
practitioners in the art of healing in
cluded in their professional armament,
along with many simple remedies of
real value, other matters, the very men,
ton Of which might almost suffice to en-
gender illness. We may feel thankful
that we have now entered upon later
and more scientific era, and that such
extraordinary drugs as weasels' gizzards,
does hoofs, snails, and other even more
repulsiye horrors, do not now find place
in any pharmacop9ia.
There still exists, however, species
of medical folklore, and some of its pre-.
scribed wisdom available for use in ILL
ness is Of the most remarkable kind.
Times of panic, by throwing a popula-
ton to some entent on its own resources
for treatment, are apt to create de-
mand for these survivals of dark age.
This happened lately In Germany, where
a toad cooked with much care was swal-
lowed as cure for cholera. AS to the
result we are not informed. Most Of us
would probably choose to suffer rather
than thus attempt our own relief. Lon
don Lancet.

"Pleased," in the expression every
pleased" is nothing more than the past
participle passive of please" used as an
adjective. "Very," so far as I am
aware, is never used with any other part
of verb, and then only when that part
has become adjective by usage. The
following quotation from Pope's "Dun-
clad" shows its use as an adjective:, 81.
Thou triumph'st, Victor of the high wrought

A similar use of the word is when we
say persons face has 'a pleased ex-

correct to say "very pleased" as to say
every much pleased" Annandale's "Im-
perial Dictionary" subject very. has:

jective, and concerned and altered come

Willing to Be Of Service.

Judge Hutchinson was called upon to
marry a young couple. Julius Wolpe,
aged twenty-ope, and Dora Albert, q
young miss of nineteen, appeared in the
county clerks Office and procured IL
cense. After securing the paper the
the young man was embarrassed and
did not know exactly what to do. The
couple walked through the building arm
in arm, and attracted the attention of
lawyer with an eye open for business.
"What can do for your he asked.
"We want to get married." returned
the young man.
The lawyer led the parties before
Judge Hutchinson, and without hesita-
ton the judge started in to tie the knot.
"Do you take this woman
eyes sir" broke in the young man.
''Don't be in a hurry" said the judge.
"Just wait until get through with the
question"
Wolpe was then asked if he would
take Dora for better or for worse and
forever and forever, etc., and he said he
would. Dora made the same promises,
and the ceremony was over with.

Fuel ON Large Ocean Steamers,

Ocean steamers consume much more
fuel than the average person is aware Of.
Take, for an instance, the vessels of the
Orient line, which make regular trips
between Australia and Great Britain.
The fastest steamer of that line is the
Austral, which makes the voyage from
London to Sydney in thirty-fve days.
During the "trip out" she never uses
less than $3.50 tons of coal, and on the
return voyage often as much as 1000
tons. She has three coaling stations,
and bunkers that will hold 1850 tons
without overcrowding. English-Amer-
lean "liners" like the Oregon consume
$50 tons of coal per day, for every day
between Liverpool and New York.
The Sterling Castle went to China for
a load of tea. She brought back cargo
of 1900 tons of that staple Chinese COM
modify, but consumed 5000 tons of coal
in making the round trip from Liver
pool. Immense stocks of coal are con-
stantly kept on hand at st. Vincent,
Madeira, Port Said, Singapore and other
oriental coaling stations, there often be-
ing:as much as 100000 tons in store at
the last named place.-London Letter.

THE PRINCE AT THE PLAY.
How His Royal Highness Attends tn
En0l;sh Thaatars


How His Royal Highness Attends the
English Theaters.
The royal box is booked in the usual
way Of business and charged to the
Marlborough house account. The price
is not increased from the ordinary library
tariff, and the stories told about nomi-
nal price or a larger one being paid by
royalty only exist in the imagination of
the papers who invent such tarradiddles.
Sometimes it happens that box can
not be got at the particular theater de-
cided upon. When this is the case 1t is
put nicely to the party who has booked
the royal box if they could see their way
to obliging his royal highness, and the
result is of course invariably in the af-
firmative. The prince, however, is very
reluctant to have this done, and always
wishes that the party obliging shall be
as little inconyenieced as possible-so
much 30 that when told that the box
has been conceded he generally remarks:
"Why did you disturb anybody on my
account / could have come here an
other evening, Please see they are
thanked In my name," In the rare case
Of a refusal representation is made to his
royal highness, and they try for box
at another theater.
When he goes to theater it is his ex-
pressed desire to be treated exactly the
same as one Of the ordinary audience.
Little displays Of flowers, bouquets,
satin programmes, ETC., are ali very
nice, but the prince does not care for
them, and would much rather do with
out them. Another thing which annoys
him Is that he should be drawn atten-
ton to by the performance on his arrival
Of the national anthem or "God Bless
the Prince Of Wales"
As he said on one occasion, why
should the amusement Of every member
