GLEN MARY.

Haverland, WarHeld, Clyde, Bubach
and Brandywine can be relied upon to
give good crops under fairly favorable
conditions, although the best results
cannot be secured with the last three
varieties except In rich, moist soils.
Glen Mary, William Belt, Marshall and
Nick dinner also are quite satisfactory
under high culture.
Sample In plant and fruit compares
well with any other variety. Morgan,
Ponderosa, Ridgeway and Ruby have
also been quite satisfactory.
or the newer sorts that fruited In
1900 II. and H., Echo, Emma, Carnage,
Gladstone, Stouffer, Johnson Early and
WOOL are most promising.
Particularizing In regard to some OF
the varieties, the station says:
Greenville.-Plants good in vigor of
growth and productiveness. Berries
are large In size, but not Of sufficient
firmness. In other points is very good.
Gandy.-yines are fairly vigorous
and hardy. Fruit is large, of high
quality and firmness. Season late.
Only moderately productive, but the
variety holds out well.
Glen Mary.-Plants Of good growth
and healthy. Fruit Is borne In abun-
dance, IS Of large size, Of good quality
and firmness. One of the best market
varieties under high culture.
Marshall-This variety is strong
grower and quite prolific. Berries large,
dark red and uniform. Quality and
texture are very good. Except on strong
soil the foliage is slightly subject to
blight. This is one of the best large
berries upon moist, rich soils.

superEuous Talk.

The late Professor Huxley, who was
as shrswd an observer Of men as he
was Of nature, once remarked, after
falling into an indiscretion which an
noyed him, that when a man says what
he has 20 need TO say be is sure to
blunder. The truth OF the observation
will hardly be questioned unless by the
very few, II there are any such, who
never say more than there Is necessity
for saying. Most of us acknowledge, IL
we review our own experience In the
matter, that we have frequently erred
by saying what needed not to be said.
But why Is 1t that people SO persistent
ly commit this mistake? In the ordl-
nary small talk OF the household or vf
society II matters little whether II Is
committed or not
But when serious matters are in
question. whether in conversation, In
set speech or in correspondence. a case
is frequently spoiled by irreleyance or
redundanee. To say what you mean Is
comparatively easy; to leave off when
you have said 1t Is difficult and for
many people impossible. In Huxley's
case the fault, which he probably did
not often commit, was due neither to
want OF clear thinking nor to want Of
facility In the use Of words. One or
the other or both OF these causes viii
explain the inability to keep to the
point" which Is usually apparent In
the speech and writing Of uneducated
persons. But often, also, the speaker
or writer forgets that extraneous con-
siderations, interesting enough to him
self, are of no interest to those whom
he wishes to convince.

LOVE AMONG SAVAGES.
Ability TO stnnd Torture n Test of
Masculine Devotion.


Among the Arabs of upper Egypt the
youth who proposes 10 girl must sub
NIT to whipping Mt the hands OF all
her male relatives, and, says dry
narrator, III he wishes to be consider
ed worth having he must receive the
chatisement, which is sometimes eX-
ceedlngly severe, with an expression
of enjoyment"
Not infrequently II is the maiden her
self who imposes the test. The Saka-
lava girls of Madagascar make their
lovers stand at n short distance from q
clever spear thrower and catch be-
tween the arm and side every weapon
flung at them. III the youth displays
fear or fails TO catch the spear, he is
no fiinching and the spears are caught
he Is at once proclaimed an accepted
lover"
Worse than this is the trial enforced
upon their suitors by the Dongolowee
girls. When in doubt as to the respec-
tive merits of two rivals, the young Ia
dy fastens sharply pointed knife TO
each elbow; then, seating herself be-
tween her lovers, she drives the blades
slowly into their thighs. and the hero
who takes the greatest length of steel
without murmur wins the bride.

HANDLING BIG SERPENTS.
Poisonous Snakes In Demand by
Doctors For Experlmenting.

Poisonous Snakes In Demand by
Doctors For Experimenting.
"In handling n big snake you must
always touch him with n soft, smooth,
gliding motion of the hand, making it
feel to him as much as possible like
the touch of another snake, and, be-
sides, you must be careful to keep his
tail out straight Keep the tail straight,
and he can't coil on you. His bite Is
nothing for he has not poison, but his
coil around your leg or arm or body
will crush the bones.
"The poisonous snakes-the water,
moccasins, rattlesnakes and copper
heads-are bought for ZOOS. Now and
then a doctor buys them heavily for
awhile. He wants TO experiment with
their poison. After he has been bitten
two or three times he stops buying.
"There are n number of people who
buy snakes for pets. These people al
ways, without an exception, make pets
also of rats, mice and turtles. Any one
fond of snakes is sure to be fond OF
those other things too. They keep their
snakes ana turtles and rats rs near as
possible to them. Often they keep
them in their bedrooms. There was
young man who used TO come here last
year after pine snakes-a university
student. That young man would sit
with his hand In among the coils of
cageful of snakes for hours. He would
take ones head In his hands and lift
its face close up to his own and gaze
la, hn
would hold 1t Off and stroke 1t and
study its changing colors in n kind of
trance. I don't know what pleasure or
satisfaction he got out Of the snakes.
He bought over a dozen from me dur
Ing the year and kept them In his bed

escaped one night through a rathole
