But there was an old-fashioned darkey
modestly making his way around among the

impressed him, at any rate. He looked all
around at them for a long while. and then

great art critics were standing before the
famous Peacock Girl" tearing her to
pieces from their exalted standpoint. A
very young couple-evidently very newly
coupled-in the most evident state of bliss,
happened along. The young woman was
stuffly done up like country GIRL but she
surely had the merit of being human all
over. She no sooner caught sight of the
Peacock Girl" with the terra Gotta hair,
than she stood transfixed, with open mouth.
Then she turned to her equally transfixed
young man and exclaimed:
Gee Whit amt she purtyv'
Then she turned red and put her hand
over her mouth. while her young man
grinned. The lofty, "I-am-It'' smile of in
dulgence with which the two exalted art
critics overheard this spontaneous tribute
of simple-minded little woman to a bit of
art that appealed to her Imagination was
worth travelling mics to see.
An Eye to the Future.
There is another class Of critic who does
not profess TO know it all as he trails his
dissatisfied course through the library. but
who. in registering his objections to the
decorations. has an unborn generation in
view-which is, in truth, very kind in him.
The Star man overheard one OF this genus
expatiating to his flock Of young women
the other afternoon.

Top of Mont Blanc.

From the London Telegraph.
Who is the owner of the top Of Mont
Blanc? The question appears at first sight
comical enough, but as 1t has been referred
to the government, it certainly has Its seri-
GUS SIDE Naturally, itis not single or
Isolated individual OF eccentric propensities
who has brought forward this claim. The
affair Is much more complicated. Three
municipalities, no less+4namely, those of
Chamonix, Les Houches and St. Gervais-
are the rivals in the field and old maps
and documents are being appealed to with
hery ardor. 1t is not the point Of honor
the prestige of possessing an extra ava
lanche or so-whieh. is at the bottom OF
: this lively competition. It is lucre, far
more practical and profitable business,
which has set misconceptions by the ears.
The fact Is thatdMont Blanc, being in
greater FAVOR than ever with the travelling
puohc, various spots, situated at different
attitudes on the famous mountain, have
neen LEI out to enterprising protectors, and
now there is sharp fight over the profits.
Chamonix has had the best of these bar
gains so FAR, and, hot dispute having
arisen between Les Houches and ST. Ger
vais over particular point, its municipali-
ty has proclaimed Its right to the entire
summit of Mont Blanc. The other two
municipalities, in presence of this bold as
sertion OF a claim to such sphere of in
iiucACe, nave uHlleQ tneir IOIceS, and are
now importuning the government with their
appeals for Justice. This is knotty prob
lem for the officials to solve, and IL they go
back to precedents they viii hardly see
their way out of the difficulty, for the great
map of 1l30 only reproduced the divisions
OF properties on the lower or wooded por-
tions of the mountain. no one then caring
rush about the effective occupation Of
peaks and rocks, of glaciers and SHOWS;
while the difficulties of surveying would
have been enormous.

O'FarreII Wins the Tourney.

The annual winter tourney of the Wash
ington Chess Club, which carries with ii the
title of club champion for the year, closed
with February. Mr.. Warren had an un-
played game with Mr.. Woodward and one
with Mr.. Smith, which he was unable to
play and forfeited. An unplayed game be-
tween Messrs. Prender and Woodward is
unadjudicated, but does not affect the re-
suit Capt. O'Ferrall again wins first place
and the title. Mr.. Harris gets second place,
although in the early stages of the tourney
he fell as low as seventh place. BY good
subsequent play he passed through the
contestants and finally Mr.. Woodward
who. it seemed for a long time owned it.
Mr.. Woodward gets third prize. DR.. Hodges
and Mr. Mundelle tie for fourth and fifth
places. In the play-off for fourth place
Mundelle has won three games and DR..
Hodges two. The contest goes to the play
er who gets two clear games ahead of his
opponent.

The Spanish residents Of Arizona
have always had a firm faith in the
possibility of raising dases successful
Iy in the southwestern part Of that
state, and they have from time to time
planted and taken care of many trees.
Around Yuma there are a number of
trees that have been in bearing from
ten to fifteen years. Around the terri
torial prison at that place there are
many seeding palms fully twenty-five
feet high that have been bearing for
fifteen years. 1t is supposed that these
were from date seeds thrown away
by prisoners or employees Of the pris-
on some time during the civil war.
At Glendale a seven-year old palm
produced last year 800 pounds Of long
brown dates Of fine favor. At Phoe-
nix one tree yielded an equal amount
of large and luscious fruit Of excellent
quality.
The date palm Is distinctly Of two
sexes and it is the female tree which
produces the fruit. Some bear white
dates and others brown, the latter be-
ing regarded as richer and sweeter in
flavor. In the scarcity of trees from
which to secure pollen, it often hap
pens that thrifty strong tree pro-
duces no fruit. Yet cases are reported
where bees carry pollen half a mile
or more and fertilize the blossoms and
the tree thus produces fruit.--Wash-
