The Rev. DR.. A. d. Mayo, in re.
cent interesting address, quoted James
Walker, former president Of Harvard,
as saying, 1.-THE grafton Will die with
Mr.. Robert c. Winthrop" But the ora
ton in no sense died with Mr.. Win
throp. What is more. the grafton, we
may be sure, will never die until hui
man nature is fundamentally different
from what it is at present 1t is the
fashion nowadays to sheer at eloquence.
One might as well sheer at music or
poetry. Walkers reference to Winthrop
was fine, considered as a compliment.
Taken literally, it will not hold water.
It recalls an assertion made by Mr..
Howells few years ago that the stories
had all been told. In fact, hasty gen
eralizers are always with us. People are
more critical than they used to be, they
are more easily bored, they have less
time for anything than they ever had
before. Nevertheless the man with a
genius for oratory, the man who has
something to say and who knows how
to say it-who can say it with silver
tongues a perennial He will always
command an audience. Boston Com

Mozart had memory for music and
for nothing else. On attending the papal
mass at the Sistine chapel he was great
ly impressed with the musical service
and asked for copy, but was told none
could lie given him, as the music was
not allowed to go ont. He went to the
next service, listened attentively, went
away and wrote down the whole from
memory. When "Don Giovanni was
first performed, there was not time to
copy part for the harpsichord, so
Mozart conducted the entire opera,
about three hours long, and played a
harpsichord accompaniment to the songs
and choruses without note OF music
to assist his memory.

Garricl1 as a Manager.

Many of Garrick's actors thought
themselves in certain characters superior
to their manager. Barry as Romeo,
Quin as Othello and Foote as Bayes
were considered by their own adherents
to surpass Garrick.
Mrs Woffington's Sir Henry WildaiI
was so much applauded that Garrick
abandoned the part, aud, in fact, for the
sake of harmony he often gave up ia
vorite PARTS to other members of the
company. Mrs Siddons, who acted at
Drury Lane during Garrick's last sea-
son, complained that she was kept back
through the jealousy of her manager.
We entirely agree with Mr.. Knight that
there could be no foundation for such a
charge.
In description of Garrick' s last sea-
son at Drury Lane in Smiths Book
For Rainy Day, we find that in Gar
rick's last nine performances Mrs. Sid
dons acted six times and always in
leading parts. As manager Garrick
was liberal, and his rule was firm and
Just. Even Mrs. Abingdon, for many
years the most intractable Of his sub.
jects and a constant thorn in his side,
was obliged to comply with his orders.
.sMr. Garrick and his profession, " said
johnson, "have been equally indebted
to each other. His profession made him
rich, and he made his profession respect
able "-Athenaum.

CHINESE SNAKE STONE.


Cure Poisonous Bites.
Ben r. Sprad,ey, a aitaehe Of the ST.
Louis ssnitariurn. it 1858 SCuth Grand
avenue. has III his possession one Of the
most curion1 aud what he asserts to be
one Of the most useful aud valuable Of
articles II is what is known as Chi
nese snake stone, and there is said TO be
but one other in the country. Indeed
the one in Mr.. Spradley's possession IS
but half a one, the original having been
cut in two by Mr.. Spradley and haf Of
it given to friend. In appearance the
stone looks like small piece of oblong
shaped camel coal aud is about one
eighth Of an inch in thickness, three
eighths of an inch wide and half an
inch long. 1t is as light in weight as
piece Of cork, possesses a polished sur
face and can be easily cut with knife.
1t is not sSone,' III the proper sense Of
the word, but is a manufactured article
and is of porous texture.
To cure snake bites or poisonous
wounds Of a similar nature with the
''stone" the wound must first be scarf
fed Then the stone is applied to the
wound. Each morning and evening it
is taken off and put into glass of luke
warm water TO remain few moments
until it discharges the poison it has abb
sorbed. Then, after the wound has been
washed in a strong solution of salt wa
ter and again scarifed, the stone, which
in the meantime has been rubbed IN
warm ashes until dry. is again applied.
If this treatment is kept up for nine
days and the patient abstains during
that time from spirituous liquors cure
is assured.
II secured the stone, said G-r. Sprad-
ley, from my father more than 80 years
ago He got it from James j. Parker,
the man who made it. From 1874 to
1877 was with the party which was put
ting through the Texas Pacific railroad.
and during that time cured several OF
the party who were bitten by rattlers
and other poisonous snakes. have fire.
quently loaned the stone to friends, and
cut the original in two, giving half OF
it to a particular friend of mine | have
not used the stone for some time, but
em ready to give test of its merits at
any time
1T is, you see, not properly stone,
but is manufactured substance of apor-
GUS nature. The theory possessed by
many that so called 'madstones' are
found in the stomachs of animals is all
nonsense. They are all manufactured in
a manner similar to this, and it is sim
ply their drawing powers and their
porousness and consequent capacity for
absorption that renders them valuable. "

STRAWBERRIES IN WEST TEN
NESSEE.

AS early as 1866 the growing of straw
berries for Northern markets was COM
menced in West Tennessee. From that
date until now, this industry has con
tinued to spread and flourish in this
part of the State, until there are few
stations on our railroads that do not
ship this fruit. I think l. 600 cars, con-
tanning 500 "a quart crates, would not
be an exaggerated estimate of the
berries grown here for shipment to
foreign markets, for one year.
Why is it that strawberries are so
largely grown in this part of the State
1 answer, because our soil and climate
is pre- eminently adapted to them. The
strawberry is fruit containing "a per
cent. of water. We had too much
water in "a, but usually have nice
showers at opportune occasions.
Crops on our soil will hold up under
a six weeks drouth, as we'll as on most
other, with a four weeks dry spell.
Why this is so am not fully prepared
to say; but believe that our West and
Southwest winds come laden with more
moisture than do those less favored
localities.
Again, our soil is largely made up of
vegetable mould, quickly, frees itself
from excessive moisture yet retains
enough for long time to keep vegeta-
tion in a thrifty condition. Much OF
West Tenne gee soil seems to be after
the order of second bottom land, drains
rapidly, is open or porous, yet retains
plenty of moisture. These conditions
seem to suit the strawberry; then oul
network of railroads furnish quick
transportation East, West, North anC
South. These are some of the reason
why we grow large quantities of straw
berries, tomatoes, squash, potatoes
beans, peas, cantaloupes and Other
things too numerous to mention now

1t used to be thought that only on
sandy soil could good early gardens be
made. 1t is true that the sandy soil is
easily permeable to the air and is soon
warmed, and it is also we'll drained.
But it has too little vegeta BILE matter,
and the sand dries out in hot weather,
80 that however promising the vege-
tables may be in early spring they
prove failure. Well drained, heavy
land, thoroughly cultivated to fine
tilth, is best for most garden crops.
There are few, however, that do best
on sand, but it requires heavy and fire.
quent manuring to make such land
produce it's best results.
