Tnte Of Mon EloeutlonIsts.

The college men who are paying SO
much attention to oratorical associa-
tons are making mistake. Oratory
is simply elocution and elocution has
ruined many a man who might have
made an honest living. AS soon as a
man learns to recite pieces at amateur
entertainments it is about as good as
settled that he will become reformer
or a walking delegate or something
else worthless. Elocution leads to pub
lie speaking, and as a rule public speak
ing leads to anarchy, loating and ruin.

sTATELINEss IN WOMEN.
1t Never EKcltes the Admiration OF the
Mon.

IT Never EGcltes the Admiration OF the
Men.
Statelness in women proceeds from
sources different from stateliness in
men, says the Spectator. It is much
more Independent, to begin with, Of
outward gifts, Not to mention our own
queen, who as people who are not cour-
tiers affirm, can be stately to awful
ness, and Queen Isabella OF Spain, who,
In spite Of her history and her bulk,
is regal to an unusual degree, it is GER
tain that the statellness of Maria
Theresa impressed all who came in con-
tact with her, and certain also that
no man as homely and unreseryed as
she was in speech and bearing would
have been credited with statellness. 1t
seems to be more allied in women than
in men with independence Of mind, or
a sense that the will Is its own justih-
cation-an absence, that is, Of fear of
external influence. The personality
suIllces to itself, and therefore, there is
stateliness. That Is, we think, the secret
reason why statellness in women annoys
most men and many of the same sex.
They think they ought to be more in
fuentlal, and resent what they consider
to be aloofness, Unapproachableness
which OF course is one Of the condi-
lions Of stateliness, irritates men,
In women, being, in fact, a faint ar
front to their amour propre, and we
think many women feel that too. At
least, we notice that this form of praise,
whenever it is given to women, is a
little cold. and that the reverence
stately women excites is apt to be a
little chilly. There is no reason for
that In nature, the first function of a
women being to attract, and reason,
too, in the confusion which most men
make in their thoughts when they are
thinking Of women, that stateliness
must indicate either hauteur or unkind-
illness. Very often it is not so at all,
some Of the sweetest women being
stately, but the mistake is nearly al
ways made, and when a man, or, for
that matter, a woman, attributes to a
woman stateliness, there is seldom

How Electricity Kills.

The very interesting and valuable
experiments which DR.. A, M. Bleile, Of
the Ohio State university, has been
making with regard to the effects of
electric shocks upon animal organism
have reached a stage where working
theory can be predicated upon the re-
suits obtained, says the Cleveland
Leader. This theory is complete de-
parture from that most commonly ac-
cepted. 1t has been supposed that the
cause of death in electrocution was the
breaking down of the tissues. But the
elaborate experiments which Prof.
Belle has made during the last month
or more leave no doubt in his mind
that death results from q very different
cause. He has found by experiment.

plant STRAWBERRIES.

With their price list George j. Kellogg
& Sons, GAINESVILLE, Wis, send the follow
ing concerning planting strawberries:
Spring planting of strawberries is best,
one plant set in spring is worth dozen
set later. Farmers should plant rows
twenty rods long, one row perfects. one
row pistillates, keep a record of the kinds
and you can grow your own plants. set
two rows every spring, take care of them
the first season, don't go to an old
mixed bed for plants, you may get all
pistillates, bed white with bloom and no
fruit
With any and all of these kinds, setting
two rows perfectS two or four rows piS-
tillate side by side, on good land that
has been hoed the two years previous,
September mulched in November. with
marsh hay just SO you can't see the
plants, half the mulch raked between the
rows in May, they should yield two hun
dred bushels per acres, often more.
IN the selection of strawberry ground
avoid meadow sod; on account of the
white grub-potato ground is best, rich
enough to produce one hundred bushels
corn per acre-plow deeply, manure on top
with well-rotted manure and drag it
thoroughly. Plants should be set SO the
crown will be even with the surface of
the ground-have the roots cut back to
four or five incheS-Spread them out in the
hole, make the ground firm about them.
Set two rows perfectS and two rows piS-
tillate, or one each, side by side, or set
one plant perfect and one plant pistillate
alternating in each row-if only one row
they must alternate-all pistillates would
produce no fruit, but properly mixed
they produce double the fruit of perfect
kinds. Hoe and cultivate every week if
you want the best results. Pick off all
blossom stems as they appear the season
of planting. Fence out the chickens
and pigs. Cover the runners at the joint
with a little earth and train the rows
two feet wide of matted plants four
inches apart.
The ground should be ready before
plants are received. Open the bundles,
dip them in water. heel in or set immed-
lately without exposure to the sun and
wind. If the ground is dry inverE a spade
of earth where each plant is set. In field
planting use a horse marker, for garden
use a line, tread it down, then remove
and avoid crooked rows and the line is
out of the way.
While these notes are practically for
amateurs, there are many good points.
We have learned from ten years exper-
fence, and they may be profitable to
others; one man does not know it all;
there is no one kind of strawberry that
will do well everywhere; no variety does
as well as the Wilson did thirty-five years
ago; kinds will run out; try some Of the
new and hold fast those that do we'll on
your soil; never take plants from a bear

UNDER DIFFICULT

One of the most elevated telegraph lines
in the world is that reported from India
On the Gilgit line two passes have to be
crossed. one 1850 feet high and the other
1850. The snow often lies at depth of
from ten to eighteen feet and the poles
used are thirty feet long. Yet this neces-
sary length is a danger, as 1t means more
leverage in a gale, and if struts and
braces are put up they afford a chance
for the snow to accumulate and bring
greater pressure to bear. Strong deodar
poles are used and the telegraph line con-
sists of a solid homogeneous steel wire
of the greatest strength made.
One break was, however, caused by the
heavy snow made wet by moisture from
a lake not far away but in the other pass
the snow is dry and slips from the wire
easily. The poles are planted close to-
gether. Offices of observation are close
by, in each of which two Europeans are
stationed, leading q life in comparison
with which that spent at submarine cable
stations is riotous and crowded.
For many months the passes are cut off
from mankind by the snow blockade but
the empire must be maintained and COM
merce go on. So the exiles, with their
snow-shoes rations and instruments, hold

1t will not be long before the two great
yachts of the age-the English and
American crafts which are TO battle for
sac famed Americas Cup-will be launch
ed. That the fight for the Cup will be the
greatest in its history yachting experts
on both sides of the Atlantic agree, for
the simple reason that the Englishmen
are believed to stand a better chance of
winning it than ever before. In fact, it
is quite easy TO find numbers of yachting
sharps on this side of the ocean who are
already crying wolf and dolefully prog
hosticating a disastrous defeat for the
Yankee flyer.
Great secrecy has attended the con-
struction of both yachts, particularly the
English one, but sufficient has leaked out
from time 10 time to give a man with the
necessary knowledge to put two and two
together enough to enable him to figure
out very closely how both yachts will
look and make comparisons of their re-
spective qualities. About the American
yacht-the Defender-there is little left to
conceal but so guarded has been the
work conducted on Valkyrie III, the
British challenger. that next to nothing
of an authentic character has yet been
seen about her in the American papers.
The English sporting periodicals have
aided Designer Watson in keeping the
details of the craft secret, and only the
