McCul1um's Theatre.

s'The New South,' thrilling four-act
drama by Clay M. Green and Joseph
Grismer, was produced last night by
BARLEY McCullum at his Peaks island
theatre. This play deserves all the
praise it has received. 1t is strong story
graphically told. in many intensely in
teresting scenes that are well relieved by
bright comedy incidents.
A large audience showed their appre-
citation of the play and the effective
work of Mr.. McCullum's talented COM
pany by frequent bursts of enthusiastic
applause and many generous roars of
hearty laughter.
Mr.. Pasco gave a splendid impersona-
ton of Capt. Ford, the falsely accused
army officer, his work in the third act
being particularly effective.
Miss Leigh played the heroine of the
drama with great credit to herself and
pleasure to the audience. Her conception
of the part was perfect, her reading fault
less and her sympathetic voice would
draw tears from stole. The come
dy of the play was well taken care of by
Arthur Living ston and Beatrice Ingram.
Miss Ingram made decided hit in the
part of Bessie. Mr.. Conniers gave an ex.
cellent portrayal of the character of Sam
son. Miss Reynolds and Miss Robertson
both acquitted themselves creditably.
and Mr. Bridgeland as the william of the
play, came in for full share of praise,
due to his artistic work Park Hughes
contributed an immense bit of character
work and Edward Dvorak as ot-head
ed young Southerner, was highly satisfac-
tory.
Last, but by no means least, Mr. Arm
strong gave delightfully."- quaint and
thoroughly artistic representation of a
ig-headed old '"befo de war; general
which alone is worth a trip to the island
to see.
There will be matinee at this theatre
every day this week.

There are probably $50 schools for
cooking in Germany and Austria. the
best OF which are at Vienna, Berlin
and Leipsic. \ man who wishes to
become n chef must begin at the very
bottom of the ladder-at peelng pota-
toes and work up. round 10y wound, to

course OF schooling as strict as that
of any polytechnic school in this coun-
try must be followed for four years be.
fore the student can get a diploma.
Every year competitive exhibitions are
given in which as many as 300 chefs
take part. The chef who was employed
at the white house by Grover Cleve-
land, and who, it is rumored, may be
again, has gold medal which was pre-
scented to him by the Empress Freder-
lex for excellence in cooking, IA silver
medal given by the king of Saxony. a
diploma from the queen of Austria and
numerous other marks of appreciation
and honor won in competitive contests
in cooking. 1t is not to be wondered
at that European cooks command ex-
traordinary salaries in this country.

much or this little germ, when every
thing we know Of it goes to show that
we have had it always with us. and
with plenty OF food, some lime, and the
soil Of the field, we can cultivate it by
uncountabe myriads in an old fash
Toned compost heap? Truly, it might
be money making business to culti-
Vate this germ in this easy way and sell
a big heap OF compost at dollar and
quarter small bottleful, which will
only supply one acre. think of the
last compost heap made. 1t was in
New Jersey. There were three hundred
loads OF half-dried swamp muck, as
many loads OF stable manure, and
enough air Stacked lime to whiten it
all through. 1t was the departing
point of my use of artificial fertilizers,
OF which | had become Independent
after three years liberal use Of them.
This big compost heap, spread over 20
acres of land, gave me great crops,
and enabled me nearly to double my
stock II cows, and so increase my
manure heaps another year. 1t took
winters work to make this heap OF
manure; but can it be doubted that
this way of making manure is precisely
the same as that Of the chemists who
are selling little bottles of it for five
quarter dollars? There were the ma
terials for breeding these nitrogen
germs, of which / had abundance; for
Sir ]. B. Lawes, with whom l was in
correspondence at the time on this sub
ject, wrote me that my poor sandy
land had undoubtedly more than a
thousand pounds of nitrogen TO the
acre. But it wanted rousing up, and
this big compost heap certainly did
do the needed rousing. / often think
Of this and study out it's results and
wide applications. and feel sure that
this way of inoculating the soil, to
which my father introduced me many
years ago, is precisely what we want
now. Make the winters work one OF
gathering the materials so easy TO be
got, for cultivating this invaluable germ
ourselves, and do not send to Germany
for little bottles filled with them at the
price mentioned.

Honey Farming.

The honey trade in this country has
grown to great proportions, for honey
has ceased to be luxury. says the
New York Tribune. at forms part of
the grocer's stock in the smallest ham
let and bakers and candy makers and
patent medicine men use IL by the
hogshead. There are several T.. ms in
tlis city who regard an order OF 81 600,
81, 500 or $4,000 worth just as a dry
goods merchant looks on an order for
fifty yards of muslin. New York, Bos-
ton and Chicago are the centers of the
trade in this country, and London rules
the world. The supply is steady, for
Il there is a shortage in one part OF
the country or the world. another part
is sure to make it up. There is no use
in attempting TO make an estimate OF
the value OF the crop. but it will so
well into the millions. 1t is known
that there are 10000 beekeepers in the
United States, and many who are I'M
known. Honey comes from all parts
OF the country. but California and the
northern states supply the greater
part. The southern states do not fur
nish as much as would be expected,
partly because people are not paying
attention TO the work, and partly be-
cause bees are not cared for as we'll as
at the north. The honey which the
southern states do send Is different
from that Of the other states; the
product OF Florida is considered the
best. but that is only as cheaper
grade
