GENIUS DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF

Rossetti never learned. however to- be self
centred in the sense which he himself had in
mind. doubtless. when he spoke of men OF
genius. Genius knows what 1t is about, its aim
is steady, and the tenacity OF its purpose abso-
lutely unyieldng. Genius concentrates all its
powers and goes straight to the point so far
as the essentials OF the work are concerned,
even when it seems to be taking the infinite
pains which have been stated as especially char
acteristic of the inspired painter poet Ros-
setti was not sef-centred In this last and most
important sense. He spent his life In feeling
his way toward the peri .cton of which ne
dreamed. The duality Of his tastes Is a proof
poet and painter. and this double ambition alone
was inmcal to the successful ehiorescence Of
his nature The trouble with that nature seems
to have been that 1t was clouded, uncertain in
its impulses. divided within Itself. incapable of
clear. straightforward progression upon any
line. The letters which are transparent
enough In themselves. are In no sense a ratlnca-
ton Of the mans genius. Such ratification

Rossetti. and 1t Is n disappointment because

The ratification Is needed because there

EXOTIC LIFE IN LONDON.

Tho most conspicuous and most pervasive
truth made manifest in this biography and
confirmed by the correspondence Is that the
Rossettis lived an exotic life in London The
father had English friends, but the house
swarmed with Italians Of every conceivable
sort. There We're political exiles from Gabrielle
Rossettis native land, and there monde
script Italians in whom he content to see
nothing more than the virtues of countrymen
AS William Rossetti expresses it. hardly an
organ-man plaster-cast vender passed our
street door without being interrogated by my
father 'Di che paese sete?' CWhat part Of italy
do you come from?)" Italian was spoken al
most exclusively in the family; for some years
Gabrielle Rossetti was teacher Of his language,
and, though 'he liked most things English
the National and individual liberty, the consti-
tuition. the people and their moral tone"--it Is
probable that he had the needs Of his own
nation in mind when he was admiring the Eng
lsh: he studied them as a political stranger
within their gates not as one Of themselves,
and he and his lived Oh in curious kind Of
detachment from the English about them.
This seems perhaps. in contradiction to the
vell-k known fact that Dante ROssetti identified
himself with one of the most important move
ments in modern English art. but the Pre-
Raphaete Brotherhood was itself largely an
exotic affair. and the testimony Of the present
volumes goes overwhelmingly to prove that the
Rossettis shared not at all in the National
spirit Of their time. The absence of public
questions from William Rossettis memoir and
his brothers correspondence is little less than
astounding. William joined the public service
in his sixteenth year. entering the Excise Of
flee as clerk in lS45. and rever leaving II until
about two years ago. Dante Rossetti assumed
to exercise the penetrative vision OF poet, to
see life through eyes which should have been
universal in their sweep. Yet there is nothing
to show that either of them had the smallest
interest in the affairs OF England or even In the
broad development Of things literary and ar
tistic. The tone throughout these volumes is
the tone OF clique. At home. when the two
brothers were boys. they played and read alone
or shared their enjoyments with their sisters

instant result was that he turned round howling
and bit me fortunately. not jenny across the

OF Rossetti however. is one of the most surprising
extant.

A Simple Irrigating Device.

We once saw in this state an ingenious
continuance which was quickly impro-
vised and rendered good service. 1t
was in strawberry patch of two and
half acres, slightly sloping, sufficiently
to permit water to flow. A we'll was
dug on the highest ground and kerosene
barrels were placed along in row eight
cen feet apart, each little lower than
the last one. These were connected by
one and one half inch iron pipe, rum
ming from the top of the first to the
bottom Of the second, and from the top
Of the second to the bottom of the third
and so on through the whole series,
The water was raised by means of
hand pump. As the first barrel was
filed the water began to flow to the
second and so on, the whole lot being
filled by pumping into the first. From
the barrels the water had to be carried
to the plants in buckets and a small
canful poured over each plant.
The cost of the entire plant, including
well, pump, barrels, pipe, and setting
up ready for use, was $85. By such
small outlay the owner calculated that
he increased his crop of berries sufi-

Hay Growing in Mississippi.

The eighth report of the Mississippi
experiment station says:
"In 1888 the station commenced a
series of experiments with grasses and
forage plants with a view to determin-
ing:
l. What plants will restore fertility to
the soil most rapidly, and at the same
time give fair returns in hay or pasture.
2. What plants will make the most
permanent meadows.
3. What plants will make the best
permanent pastures, especially for win
ter grazing.
f. What hay producing plants are best
for temporary use.
Since the commencement of the work,
five hundred and eighty-six species have
been grown, many of them on soils
widely different in character. Servings
have been made at different seasons and
under different conditions; seeds of the
more prom sing sorts have been distrib-
uted to planters in different parts of the
state, and special attention has been
given to the fertilizing and winter graz
ing values of each species.
When this work was commenced al
most no hay was grown in the state, ex-
cept what was used by planters for home
consumption, and thousands of tons
were shipped into the state annually.
The census report for 1880 gives the
yield of hay in Mississippi as being only
.83 tons per acre, against an average
yield of Ia tons per acre for the whole
United States. In 1893 the yield of hay
for this state had doubled, being then
l.66 tons per acre against an average Of
1872 tons for the whole country. In 1895
the average yield in Mississippi had in
creased to 1876 tons, against an average
of 1O6 tons for the whole of the United
States, or "a per cent above the average,
and ia per cent above the average yield
in the northern and central states of the
Mississippi Valley"

The Pawpaw Tree.

The papaya or pawpaw tree is ma
tive of the Sandwich Islands. Botanic
ally it is known as Carica papaya. The
milky juice of this tree has the remark
able property of softening tough meats.
Under date of May 18th, 1895, Leigh
H. Irvine writes letter to the Scientific
American, which that journal has lately
published, giving an experience in the
use of the leaves and juice:
In company with Lieut.. John F.
Bowler, late of the ex-queen's dragons.
1 sought a noble papaya grove along the
sandy abeach of the famous Waikiki
watering place. We gathered bunch
of stems and leaves from lusty tree
which had grown from seed planted only
six months before. IL was a noble
specimen about twenty feet high, and
it's seven lobed leaves were about two
feet in diameter. At so young an age
the luscious yellow melon-like fruit
hung in golden clusters from the trees
long and crooked branches. Before we
expressed the juice Of the leaves and
stems we sat beneath the inviting shade
and each ate one of the melons, which
were delicious and not unlike cantelopes
in appearance and consistency, though
there was little similarity in taste. The
fruit has peachy flavor and is said to
be fine remedy for dyspepsia.
We readily secured about two ounces
of the acrid, milky juice from our har-
vest. Taking it home, we put few
drops into akettle of boiling water with
a very tough fowl which had been gath
cred in for the experiment. 1t had been
boiling for over an hour without becom-
ing tender. The result of the papaya
juice was magical. The papain, or
active principle of it, dissolved the It's
sues at once and made the meat tender
and palatable. A piece of very tough
beetsteak was then wrapped in the
leaves over night, and it was a tender
morsel for breakfast. The natives here
say the same results are obtained by
hanging the meat in the tree among the
saponaceous leaves. The mysterious
juice differs from animal pepsin, in that
it's proteolyptic action is not arrested or
even delayed IN neutral or alkaline solu-
lions, as is the case with so many sub
stances that enter the stomach. It's
active principle is technically known as
papayin, papayotin, or caracin and
there is no doubt that the Hawa1ians
have long known its value.
