When her parents were actually starv-
ing she proposed they should sell her
for slave. This course was followed
and she became the property Of fam
GUS general, who was SO delighted with
her beauty and ready wit that he
adopted her as his daughter. At Pek-
ing she came under the Emperor's no.
tice and his majesty made the former
slave his wife. So highly did ne
value her intelligence that at his
death he made her regent of the
empire, and she is accredited with ad-
miuistering the affairs of the empire
better than almost any of her prede-
cessors. Her views in regard to the
mission question in China are most
sensible. Her majesty thinks that if the
missionaries would interpret the teach
ing of Confucius in accordance with
Christian principles they would have
great success among the people. But
to tell the Chinese that everything
they have heretofore believed is all
wrong, results in Confucian worse con-

DEATH OF BISHOP wAYMAN.

Alexander Walter Wayman, senior
bishop of the African Methodist Epis-
copal Church and one of the best
known colored men in the United
States, died suddenly Saturday at his
home in Baltimore.
He was seventy-four years old. The
history of his life is almost coincident
with that of the African Meth dist
Church, which is FIVE years older than
was it's senior bishop.
Bishop Wayman's personal appear
ance was impressive. He was broad
and portly of figure and about med
ium height. His color was black, his
features were strong and he had deep
and impressive voice. He was adroit,
diplomatic and full of sound common
sense and good humor. Administra-
tion was his forte. Quick of mind,
but not learned, he spoke easily and
effectively. He was the author of a
few narrative and biographical works,
the best known of these being his
"Recollections."
The immediate cause of the Bishops
death was paralysis of the heart. He
was stricken as he was dressing him-
self in the morning while the members
of his family were engaged in their
devotional exercises, and he lived but
ten minutes after ward. An attack Of
vertigo last Wednesday gave warning
of the end, but the aged bishop recov-
cred seeming vitality, and was about
the house afterward. saying be was
"still in the ring.''
Tuckahoe Neck, Caroline county,
Md, was the scene of Bishop Way
mans birth, September 81, 1921. He
was born free, as his mother had been
manumitted before his birth. After
living in various parts of the State the
future bishop removed to Baltimore
when he was nineteen years old, on
the day of a parade in honor of the
nomination for President of William
Henry Harrison. The Bishop lived to
cast vote for the grandson of the log
cabin hero. He was self-educated ard
was much assisted in his studies by
the head of family in Philadelphia,
with whom he lived for a number of
Years in his early manhood.
A church member from his youth,
the Bishop began 10 preach in 1S40.
He was pastor of various churches of
his denomination and served as secre:
tary of its general conferences for. a
number of years. In 1864 he was elec-
ted bishop, the conference then meet
ing in Washington. He was afterward
drafted as soldier, but was not req lir-
ed to serve.
His episcopal duties made of him a
great traveller, and during his life he
visit almost every section of this
country. From 1876 until his death he
was in charge of the district includ-
ing the Ohio, Tennessee, Pittsburg,
Kentucky and West Tennessee con-
ferences.
He was married three times. A wi
dow, daughther, who lives at AL
bany, N. T., and eight grandchildren
survive him. His brother, Charles II.
Wayman, local preacher, who is
eighty-three years old, lived with the
Bishop at his Baltimore home.

PEARS FOR HOME USE.

Mr.. George S. Conover, of Geneva.
N. Y, gives, in Chicago Gardening,
the results of thirty-five years. expert
ence with pears. He had on his farm
in Seneca county, in 1870. an expert
mental orchard of more than $50 vari-
eties. Some of these have become oh.
solete; some, while of excellent quality
are not reliable; others rot at the core,
and others lose their leaves early or
prematurely ripen their fruit. The
only sorts which have stood full test
and been found thoroughly reliable are
Washington, Bartlett, Sheldon and An
jou. To these ought to be added the
Bose and Seckel. only the first is sub
ject to blight, which often kills the
tree, and the second is often stung by
insects, and requires thorough thin
ming to get fruit Of fai1! size. Still we
can hardly get along without them.
Howell used to do well, but now rots
at the core. Boussock is good pear,
but sheds its leaves early. Lawrence is
good. but Anjou is larger and better.
Flemish Beauty and others crack. If
confined to one sort, Mr.. Conover would
choose Washington. 1t is of medium
size, a regular and abundant bearer,
drops from the tree in mid-August and
continues month. While it could be
hand-picked and house ripened to get
higher color, it is delicious enough
when picked from the ground. 1t is
sweet, juicy and refreshing; Bartlett
is sinsipid after eating a Washington.
But it is little knownor grown. Two
other pears. Louise Bonne and Ouch
ess, are best grown as dwarfs. The
former is fine for canning or cooking;
much better than the Bart lett so gen.
orally used. Cultirator and Country
Gentlemen.

STRAWBERRIES.

STRAWBERRIES.
Bulletin No 2S, of the Delaware Col
lege Experiment Station, has just been
issued. Strawberries is the subject
treated and not only is the result given
Of experiments made at the station but
table which summarizes the exper-
ience of growers in different parts of
the State with several varieties. The
bulletin may be had by Delaware farm
ers on application to the Experiment
Station. Pr,f. Beckwith says; We
find thirty nine varieties of strawber-
ries were grown last season by twenty
respondents. BY discarding the varie-
ties mentioned only by two parties who
grow the plants for sale, we have
twenty six varieties that are grown by
the twenty persons answering the
questions. There is surprising uni
formity of opinion in regards to the
varieties shown in the replies from the
different sections of the State. We
had expect ed to find greater differ
ence of opinion in regard TO their value
for various purposes. The Buback is
evidently the most popular variety
grown in Delaware. In every instance
it is given as the most satisfactory mid
season variety. 1t is also named as
the most productive by sixteen respon-
dents the Haverland by the three and
Enhance by one.
For the best all purpose variety Bu-
bach is mentioned twelve times, while
the Enhance and Tennessee are each
mentioned only single time.
The great diversity of opinion regard
ing varieties for home use is undoubt-
edly due to the differences in individ-
ual tastes. Sharpless appears to be
the favorite for home use, being men,
toned four times, Grandy twice and
the following varieties but one, ach,
Brandywine, Bubach, Cumberland, En-
hance, Haverland, Gypsy, May King,
Meek's, Lady Thomps on and Tennessee.
Twelve varieties, sixteen responses.
