4 YOUNG PORTLAND MUSICIAN.

Miss Bertha Webb. the talented young
yiolinist of whom musical Portland is
SO justly proud, has returned to her home
on High. street, for the holidays, after
most successful concert tour throughout
New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio, with
the famous Fadettes of Boston. Mrs
Nichols is delighted to include so bril-
liant an artist, and in turn Miss Webb
owes to great satisfaction in being asso'
ciated with this popular and successful
company of young women players.
ss.The Fadettes leave Boston January
2 for an extended tour through the Vest
ern and Southern States, playing in the
largest cities and to large and enthusiasts
tic audiences, who invariably confirm
PortIand's good opinion of this fine or
chestra and its magnetic and talented
leader, returning incidentally to scene
of former triumphs, Washington, D. O.,
for two concerts.
The Fadettes close their spring tour In

bers.

laughter provoking to a high degree.
The simple scenes of countr life are
handsomely and truthfully staged, AS
the country merchant and postmaster,
Mr.. Cowles was perfect, as indeed he was
in every detail of his part. The blunder-
Ing Irishman was personated admirably
by Tom Coughlin in the part OF Fat

brought forth a storm Of applause, as did
many other of his scenes. Mr.. Cowles Is
well supported by Dorothy Alden, who is
handsome and winning, we'll adapted for
the role of Phyllis. whivh she enacts
with a charm and grace that win the
hearts of the audience. The solo and
chorus parts during the play were finely
rendered and encored. =

BETTER MAILS FOR STROUD

Chief Clerk Marshall of the Railway
Mail Service is trying to devise some
plan by which tho people at Stroudwater
may secure their mails at more reasonable
hours than they now receive them. At
present the mail does not reach Stroud
water by train until s. 80 O'Clock in the
morning and early in the afternoon. 1t
is Mr.. Marshall's idea to have these mails
20 out to Stroudwater by the electric cars
SO that they can be sent from the PORT
land office at much better hours. He will
recommend to the department that this
plan be PCT into operation.

Andrew Lang's Protest.

called Charlotte Bronte "a hysterical gov
erness." But when or where did ever
write such nonsense about 1.-The vestai OF
HaworthS" If / err not. the accomplished
Shirley brought this charge against me In
Good Words l read it with amazement
at Dingwall and forgot about 1t. The
only article that / ever wrote on Miss
Bronte / think, was In Good Words.
Looking over it, see that did say she
was governess and expressed the usual
regret for the unhappy lives which are too
often lived in that underpaid and difficult
profession.
One catches an echo of many laments In
Miss Brontes novels. Her materials are
inevitably derived from her experience
But find nothing about "hysterical gov
erness. I" People have called Jeanne d'Arc
"hysterical Genius and Mysteries have
points of contact. But did not even say
that, as far as am aware, and II am to
be accused of doing so by Shirley or any
one else must ask for documentary evil
dence. mo other is genuine. Ii the
thing can be proved, shall recant and
burn my fagot; If 1t cannot be proved
perhaps the myth will be withdrawn. NO
body can remember all the foolish things
he may have written, but this particular
folly l fondly trust, is beyond my power

Medicine and Ceremonial.

The physicians of medieval England,
who were for the most part monks, friars
or Jews, possessed large assortment OF
remedies, some of them borrowed from the
byzantine physicians, Others from the ira
ditional practice of the people. Christian
physicians, however, called religion to
their aid. None of their remedies was ad-
ministered without ceremonial. While the
medicine was being compounded the pa
tient would say IL times over one OF the
psalms beginning "Miserere Mel, Deus, 7"
then several paternosters then drink the
dose and wrap myself up warm, or he
would sing the psalm, "Salvum Me Fac,
Deus, then drink the draft out of church
bell, the priest finishing the cure with
prayer.
DIR. Creighton remarks that, as the
maladies of the middle ages contained an
unusual element of hysteria, the ceremo-
NAL may not have come amiss as an aid to
the treatment. Physicians gained consid-
cradle fees by their practice, which the peo-
pie appear to have grudged them. The
satirical writers constantly accuse them of
greed, but these charges were probably
owing to the prevalence of the idea, not
yet extinct, that, as medicine Is from the
Lord God, the leech was not entitled TO
q money neutrality-suspicious.

Brazilian Black Diamonds.

Although the greatest diamond mines
In the world are in South Africa, Brazil
exports more diamonds to that part than
anywhere else on earth, says London
paper. The explanation is easy. They
are black diamonds, and not of the kind
used for jewelry. The place Of their great
est utility is underground in mines.
South Africa does not produce them, but
1t could not we'll get along without them.
Black diamond is the hardest substance
known. Its utility has only been real
lied for about 90 years, and improve
ments are constantly being made In 1t.
The rough stones are taken and split by
machinery in way that was unknown
until recently. The split must follow the
grain. II 1t does not, the stone will be
wasted. Each stone is split into stones of
different sizes. The cubes are then welded
into mining drills II they are to be used
for boring. The steel Is cast about the
diamond so that 1t cannot get loose. In
the same way nearly all diamond saws are
made They are circular saws. Every
tooth is black diamond cube. 1t is fast
ened on when the steel portion of the in
strument Is In a molten state.
The attempt to make these stones arti'
flcially has proved failure In every in
stance. The cost Is greater than the mar
ket price of the Brazilian diamond.
Black diamonds weigh ordinarily less
than 100 carats, ranging all the way down
to half carat The largest in existence
was found only short time ago, its weight
being $50 carats. The diamond was sold
to a museum for IS, 600. -Exchange.

DISEASES OF BEES.
A Number Of Maladies to Contend With,
Like Other Communities.

Like Other Communities.
During the last few years, thanks
chiefly to the enterprise of the British Bee
keepers association, the keeping of bees
has made great progress In this country,
and 1t Is now rare to see the humblest cot
tage without its two or three hives, while
In the course Of q railway journey one may
often see q large field dotted over with the
elaborate structures which serve the mod
ern bee for a residence, all Of them care
fully facing the east SO that their inmates
should be walked by the first rays Of the
sun, and surrounded with other fields In
which honey producing blooms reduce
their labor to minimum.
With the increase of bees, however, has
come the spread Of disease In much more
rapid proportion. The old method used to
be to keep the bees in a straw skip, and
when they had filed 1t with comb at the
end of the season to suffocate the entire
community with sulphur and appropriate
the results of its industry. This Of course
was not only cruel, but an extremely
wasteful method. Nowadays, with the
modern frame hive, the honey Is taken
without disturbing the bees, and they are
carefully packed up and preserved during
the winter and even fed II they run short
of food.
The modern hive, however, Is subject
to the beekeeper's principal trouble
namely, what Is called foul brood" No
body knows exactly what this is, or how
1t Is produced but 1t takes the form In the
first place of a discoloration Of the combs,
and afterward of complete putridity,
which is equally patent to the eyes and
the nose 1t is extremely infectious, and
as bees are constantly visiting one an
others hives for predatory purposes, when
1t appears in district 1t speedily spreads.
1t is said that when the beekeepers OF
Kent recently employed an expert to ex,
anime their hives, 100 were found to be
diseased out of 307.-London Chronicle
