AGRICULTURAL ITEMS.

1t is bad economy to let 10 cent hen
destroy $40 garden.
Remember that on an acre of rich, well
cultivated land there may be grown $500
worth of Strawberries.
If hay Is designed for the market, red
clover is very Objectionable, as it cures
dark colorcd and makes the hay dusty.
A mistake of lifetime is for woman
to get the notion that it is her business to
milk the COWS and cultivate the garden.
The. increased value of cattle should not
result in rearing poorly bred and runty
calves. The sooner bad calf goes to the
butcher the less money is lost on it.
The peach trees of this country cover
507, 900 acres and the value of the crop is
SIC, 10000 Upward of 500, 900, 900 was
invested in peach growing in the census
year.
Tho number of acres a man controls Is
no index of either wealth or prosperity.
1t has been far easier to get land poor than
to get prosperous from owning land in the
last decade.
Many man could save a good home
and enough land to live comfortably ON
if he would unload the mortgaged end of
the farm to his creditor. 1t would often
improve the appearance of things about
the farm if tho weeds and rubbish along
the road were burned and grass seed sown
on the foul spots.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Jeremy Taylor is said by contemporary

Wyclif was ono of the most modest of

Bulwer Lytton was conservative in ex-
pressing his opinion of his own works, but
on one occasion in conversation admitted
that he thought "What Will He Do With

ELECTRIC SPARKS.

A new telegraphic invention will convey
1000 words q minute over the wires.
The speed Of projectiles is measured by
electricity. Tho projectile strikes wires
and breaks tho circuits.
Electrical energy from a primary battery
at the present timo costs at least ten times

They arc cooler, do not perspire aud do not

SILVER TRIPLES.

Silver standards for tea balls are new
and are sold separately.
Tasteful silver and enamel rings have
been put forth at modest prices.
Buckles of oxidized silver with sectional
ornament in dull silver forms inclose COL
ored enamels. These have great distinc-
ton.
Yachting buckles have the club pennant
in enamel flung athwart tho circle, min
gled with some other marine insignia, as
the anchor.
A new photograph frame is of large sill
yer links alternately plain and chased.
Through these links ribbons are run and
tied in a tlamboyant bow at the top.
There might be chapter written on so
Insignificant trifle as tea ball. One Of
the novelties is pipe shaped, with han
die of smoked ivory. There are diamond
shaped tea balls. A new form is of flexible
links like purse.
A pretty novelty in the renaissance
buckles has n plain central surface, with
foliations and crossed lines so intertwined
as to have the effect of a wreath. This de-
sign mingled with whito and bluo enamel,
is seen on oval and diamond shaped forms.

When they were once installed in
Philips artistic studio quarters, and the

had imagined.
Philip was exceedingly popular in So
ciety, despite his lack of wealth. His
handsome presence, his magnetism, his
genius, all rendered him a favorite-the
first two requisites with women, the
latter with men. He had allowed soci-

New tailor gowns have revers cut
In fancy and scalloped shapes, and
all the newest jackets have three
large buttons.
Many Etons show backs with
three pleats, Stimulating a Norfolk
jacket. Some of them are finished
with a narrow piping of silk or
satin.
Etons for bicycling are made so
that they can be closed or left open
at will; this a good idea, as in case
more warmth is desired it is readily
attainable without an extra gar
ment.
All of the new Etons are made
with a belt in the back, which pre-
vents the jacket crawling up, as it
often does. The belts come beneath
the arm and buckle in front over
the blouse.
A new and useful skirt for walk
ing, tennis, golf or the wheel, is
made of accordion plated serge.
tweed or cashmere, which allows
perfect liberty of motion and is at
the same time graceful and pretty.
The organdies and grass linens
are trimmed about the foot with
two or three tiny ruf1les, edged
with lace, or with several bands of
insertion in yellow valenciennes or
guipure; the material is cut away
beneath.
Black grenadines are made over
the bright hued checked taffetas,
with rather big arm effect. This
is quite novel idea and has not
yet become common. Changeable
hued striped taffetas are sometimes
substituted.
There are whispers of the down
fall of the sleeve, but one desires
ocular proof before placing any
confidence in the rumor. At present
they are quite as voluminous as
ever, and of many fanciful shapes.
A new idea in the finish of the
wrists is to place three or four loops
of silk and corresponding buttons
about an inch and half apart;
thus the sleeve is loose and is
readily taken off and on; when
buttoned it forms an overlapping
pleat on the back of the arm.
Many sleeves have seam on the
outside of the arm, which is Tapped
or corded and sometimes finished
with small buttons or buckles.
All the trimming is concentrated
on bodices, the skirt being unusually
plain, and conspicuous only by its
perfect hang and fit.

after this thought first entered Philips
mind that Claiming Jack was brought
home dead. He had carried load of
freshly dug CLAIMS to the neighboring re-.
sort five miles away, as was his custom
each Friday, and he had been killed by
the Portland express as he essayed to
cross the track.
1t was all SO terrible and tragic, and

man who made her whole world, and
when he heard her cry, "Oh, father, fa-

LIGHT OPERA ar ITS BEST.
Brilliant Production of "The Begga
Student" Lat N CHIT

brliiiEnt production OF "Ehe Beggar
Student" Last N ght.
The finest and most brilliant audience
OF the season Assem- BLEED a { the Academy
last night to hear Millocker's bright
and tuneful opera, "rhe Bergar
Student" sung by the Grau Opera Com
pany. and the general verdict WAS that
1T was one OF the most meritorious
operate performances yet givsn in
Roanoke. The opera was superbly
dressed and staged, and no detail neces-
sary to thoroughly identify it with the
SaXonY country, in which the plot is
laid, was omitted.
Nhe star or the troupe was the mag
nificent baritone, j. Aldric Libbev, in
the title role Of Symon Symonsvi,z the
Beggar STUDENT. Mr Libbey is easily
the leading American baritone OF the
present day. His voice is full, round
anu resonant, possessing remarkable
power and unusual range, and it is
richly meodious in all it's registers;
particularly is this the csse with the
higher tones, whose tim bre borders on
the tenor quality. His rare voics is un.
der perfect control and equally effec
tive in love passages or bravura num-
bers. The phrasing of it's owner is per-
feet Mr Libbey is man OF magnifi.
III.
His heroic voice and personality is bet
ter suited to grand opera than light
opera like THE Beggar Student" and 1t
ls to be hoped that he will eventually
turn his talent in this dire ction.
Miss Adelaide R.ndell, the prima
donna OF the com pany, has been many
years before the public in light opera,
and while her voice shows signs of wear
and lack OF the resonant quality which
formerly distinguished 1t. she sang the
part OF Laura. very sweetly and eff
fectively.
Fred Freer, the buffo bass, }, az Gen
eral Ollondt RI, the militSry governor of
Crackow, was excellent; as also was
Tom Martin, as the jsilor.
Hattie Arnold, the contralto, who
sang the part OF Countess Pslmatica,
possessed rich, sweet voice, which she
used very effec lively. Her acting also
was good.
Kate Trayer, as Lieutenant Toppen-
burg. deserves especial mention for her
bright, vivacious acting and intelligent
conception OF her character
Herman Waldo, as Janitsky, was q
disappointment. his voice icing unmusi.
cal and entirely unequal to the part
which he attempted.
The company as whole was excel
lent, the splen5i id singing OF the
choruses giving evidence Of careful, in
telligent drilling. The orchestra WAS
first class and delighted the audience
by its superb playing.
The management deserves great credit
for securing 40 fine an attraction for
our music loving citizens, and IL is a
matter of congratulation that 1t was
greeted by 30 fine an audience.
