 The Musical Courier publishes the fol- lowing letter: Editors Musical Courier How is this for musical Boston? At the Henschel concert yesterday. just before Mir. Henschel came on the stage, a lady crossed over the center aisle and began talking to a friend. There she remained still talking, during the applause which greeted him. He seated himself at the piano, played a few bars, and when he found that she still continued talking he stepped to the front of the stage and re- quested her to be seated.

 Some thoughts and aphorisms of Anton Rubinstein: For the public, life is the most serious thing and art is an amuse- ment; for the artist it is the contrary: art Is everything and life is only a dis traction.
 Life is an enigma and death is the key to it.
 People talk of the fear of God; it is the fear of man that one ought to have. for God is merciful, while men do not par don.
 I am an adversary to capital punish ment; for in inflicting the penalty of death society places itself on the same plane with the assassin; he has killed. one kills him. The assassin should be rendered inoffensive by being imprisoned for life; l would suspend in his cell the portrait of his victim and have a weapon placed beside it. Perhaps remorse would suggest to the assassin the idea of sui eide, the only logical solution to the crime, it appears to me.

 THE COLONEL. ]

 the embryo forest his artistic genius has started on East street was making to survive the clouds of coal dust and splinters that form its principal nourish- ment. when he was approached by Billy Foote and a party of prominent politi- clans. who were also taking stroll about the docks and endeavoring to find in the salt air a panacea for the headaches re- sultant of the hard work of the previous Saturday night and the worry and trou- ble incident to the reception of distin- guished jubilee visitors.
 Colonel said Foote, 1T am told that you are pretty well up on everything re- lating to trees; in fact those who ought to know say that your information on that subject Is hardly less than pheno- menal, and embraces in it's range every thing from a juniper bush to a redwood.

The EIhertn Pennh

The alberta peach seems to have again
Jumped into popularity, rot that it was
not already prominent, but 1t seems TO
have had new boom this fall In local-
ties where 1t was heretofore but little
known, says American Gardening.
Horticultural writers fall into error when
they compare it with Crawford for IL in
no way resembles either Crawfords Early
or Crawfords late in tree or fruit, except
that it is a yellow free stone. Any one
who has worked in 1t, in the orchard or
packing house, can readily affirm this and
doubt If have man in my employ vino
could not pick an Elberta out of any bas-
ket he saw if there ware one in there.
The peach is somewhat oblong, light yell
low, often with red check. a color pecu-
liarly Its own. The tree resembles peaches
of the Chinese type, has heavy ark green
foliage that fades to a dingy yellow when
II falls. 1t is of some what spreading
growth, but not dropping. 1t is not an i'm
mense peach like Cooper's Mammoth,
Globe, or Wheatland: still il is as large
as the average of any OF these and there
are not many small fruits as sometimes
happens with the above mentioned. / know
of no variety that averages so large and
uniform a size.
There is no peach which in any respect
resembles 1t, except Denton. a new vari-
ETY. not yet Introduced, and Emma, which
have not seen in fruit.
The fact is, hucksters and dealers call
most all yellow fruit Crawford's in order
to help the SALE long after these kinds are
out of the market.
Mr.. Rumph, who originated Elberta
told the writer it was a cross between Chi
nese Cling and Crawford's Late, the only
good one out of 1900 seedlings. l saw the
original tree in 1892 on his grounds at Mar
shallville Ga. There are many thousand
liberia trees inffrult in this locality. end
II is as well known as Oldmixon, and al
ways commands the best price. l grew
and shipped the first Elberta that ever
went from Seaford station. and have prop
agated not less than half million trees
since its Introduction.
IL seems to succeed everywhere, and is
no doubt the most popular peach before
the public to-day, and there are, no doubt
more trees planted of it than all others
combined.

Methnha of Milking.

on the.ouantity of milk given by the COW.
and some think that faulty method also

Mexican june Corn.

Last year after the June hailstorm that
literally left the fields in this section bare.
some parties near Temple planted a new
variety of corn which they called "Mexi-
can June Corn, says the Galveston News.
II fiourished through the long summer
drouth without a drop of rain until il was
in roasting ear, in August. The ears were
well developed and with good stand the
yield would have been fully twenty five
bushels TO the acre. l have great hopes
for this corn. 1t will be blessing to every
drouthy country and a bonanza to folks
like me, who believe Ia selling little things.
Ii is pearly white, very sweet roasting
ear variety. and l believe l can have ut
on the market in roasting ears all the sum-
mer and fall, and my own table will come
in for something good also. am going to
save couple of acres near the windmill
and plant every ten days, commencing
April Is. There win be wheat, barley and
oats stubblc, too, if it rains, right for large
blocks. But the two acres, divided into
quarter-acret cuts, am going to irrigate If
necessary. 1t won't take much water to
moisten quarter of an acre of ground,
and 1t will have 10 be done only once-just
enough TO sprout the seed, and maybe a
little after it peeps out of the ground. The
stubble can't irrigate, but l will learn
whether or not IL will do for June corn,
and maybe 1 win learn something else
while experimenting. 1 believe that if it
comes up l will make more by planting it
in this corn than SC / plant it in cotton.
