ACTORS AND FENCING.
Painful Charge Made that Stage
Fights show No Skill.

+. G. BlakeSlee, IN Leslie s w eekly.
There are three degrees of stage fenc-
ing-good bad and Indifferent. a little OF
it is good, more of it is Indifferent and by
far the larger portion of it is decidedly
bad. Why actors and managers will spend
thousands of dollars and months of time
in staging pieces and then consider that
ANY old thing" will do for a sword COM
bat will always remain mystery. Richard
Mansfeld's Cyrano de Bergerac perfectly
illustrates this point. 1t is doubtful if any
play was ever more deliberately mounted:
the setting was superb even to the most
minute details, and yet in this play, whose
very atmosphere was permeated with
workmanship, the duel in the first act
wnere the very lines called for the most
skillful fencing, was almost a farce. Very
little was done except CRATE the swords
together and stamp the feet and the final
thrust was given slowly that the veriest
tyro that ever handled a rapier could have
parred il with ease.
The majority of actors know absolutely
nothing about fencing and duel such
as be seen almost any day in melo-
dramas is usually the biggest kind of a
fake The hero and the william make for
each other and commence TO bang their
swords together. first high and then low
After a few seconds of this fatguing work
the william either drops his weapon and
strikes an attitude dies of heart failure
When the tight is with rapiers or fOils it is
not much better The two opponents fall
into what they conceive to be the proper
fencing positions and then proceed TO CRATE
their blades together. shifting them back
and forth and occasionally making a lab
at each other; the final attack is perhaps
somewhat more realistic and disarmine
looks a tri1e less like an accident Even
when actors know how to fence they often
mar the effect by senseless fiourishes and
they seem TO think that the modern French
school is applicable at all times and places.
Now and then, however there arises an
actor who is both a swordsman and stu
Dent and then we have a duel that is I'm
accord with the time In which IL is sun
posed to take place. Z. II. Southern is such
an actor and the younger Slavini was an
other. 1t is to be doubted if ever there -ras
presented on the stage a better sword fghl
than that which occurred in the last act
of IAN Enemy of the King between Mr.
Sothern and one of the members of his
company II was not only wildly exciting
but historically correct in every particular

NEW YORK. March LIT was learned
this afternoon at the Cathedral Of St John

cathedral crypt about two weeks ago had
been returned. The jewels. which consisted
OF seven garnets set in the crown of the
altar. together with several ornaments of
mother of pearl, were inClOSed in an en-

The return OF the jewels is thought TO have
been prompted by fear of arrest due 10 the

From an address by Professor G. NJ.
Conner OF Clemson College, before the
meeting Of the Georgia Dairymen's AS
ISOLATION:
"The increased interest In dairying in
the South dm:ng the last decade has
been due largely 10 the change In condi-
lions and occupations Of the people.
Diversified farming, the increase mi
manufactures and more prosperous
condition for the people IN general have
caused rapid increase in the consump-
ton of dairy products. This increase
in consumption has opened up a local
market, and those seeing opportunity
of turning an honest dollar have taken
advantage Of 1t.
As a rule beef farming precedes
dairy farming. Where land is cheap
and grazing land can be had at small
rental. beef raising is profitable, but
where the price Of land is high and the
country Is thickly settled the COW
crowds out the beef steer, because she
is a more economical producer of hui
man food
"The dalrymen in the South must, for
a time at least, be missionaries, as 1t
were, in their respective localities and
get the people interested in the bust
ness. so that after n number of diaries
have been established each viii be a
help to the other. As yet we can help
each other only at long range.
"Some one has said that success in
dairying depends upon the man, the
cow and the feed The man must first
of all be a student; he must read good
dairy literature. Nine-tenths of the
men who make a success at daiTying
read one or more good dairy papers;
this fact has been established by Stats
tics. If he is a young man / would ad.
wise him to spend a part of his capital
in taking a course at one of our agricul-
tural colleges. He should be a trained
thinker, and be able to work out for
himself the many little problems which
present themselves from time to time.
There are many things we do not know
or understand about dairying as yet.
The bulk OF the work that has been
done along dairy lines by our expert
ment stations has been done in the
North and West, where the weather,
food and market conditions are quite
different from those in the South, and
it is to be hoped that our Southern sta
tons will take hold of this matter and
help the dairymen along"

Good Pastures.

No part of the farm pays a larger per
cent. of clear profit than the pasture
If proper and timely attention be given
to the pasture this profit can be very
largely increased. Get all briers and
bushes out. Remove all stumps and
stones. Look after the washes; loosen
up the hidebound subsoil. If there are
any naked places see that they are set
or seeded to some kind of grass that
will help to increase the food.
In our Southern climate little care
and forethought will enable you to
have good grazing all the year. Ber-
muda, Johnson. orchard herd grasses,
with red and crimson clover; vetches,
cow peas, arctic grass, winter grazing
oats and many other forage plants will
furnish a continuous run if properly
looked after. These, with the help Of
crabgrass, leave you without excuse If
you do not provide good pastures.
1t is always cheaper for stock to
gather their own food than it is for you
to gather it and carry it to them. Good,
permanent pastures are one of the cry
ing needs Of the Southern farmer. Pas
lures and cattle are necessary to sue
cessful farming Both of these grow
all the time. While you sleep they are
making money for you.-Southern Gull

Pine Lands For Truck Gardens.

The pine lands in Mississippi an6
Louisiana where the timber has been
cut are fast being turned into truck
gardens. a good canning factory at
convenient points to put up the pro-
ducts of these farms would solve the
question of prosperity for the people
of these sections.
One Of the drawbacks to successful
truck farming is the question Of mar
keting the products, and this can only
be solved by concerted action among
the growers. Consignment shipments
rarely ever prove satisfactory, for the
reason that dishonest commission men
eat up the profits in undue charges and
claims for damaged truck. A combined
shipment in car load lots, with a good
agent to look after the shipment,
changes all this. The truck growers
association is the medium through
which to attain this end. - Cotton

Imnortnnce Of Corn.

Corn is the most important crop
grown in this country, and especially
so in the South, where a short crop is
disastrous. The South has paid many
millions of dollars 10 the Western
States for corn, and many additional
millions for corn products, all of which
ought to have been grown and made in
the South. Southern farmers, as a
rule, neglect their corn, from the selec-
ton of the seed to the harvesting Of
the ears Tor nubbins, as the case often
Isl, that they may bestow more care
on the cotton crop, An abundant corn
crop means fat hOgs-always salable
at a proft-fat horses and fat cattle,
and plenty Of milk and butter, fowls
and eggs, in addition to the necessary
meat and bread. No farmer growing
staple crops can be successful if he is
short on corn, for it is the principal
food for farm animals, and well-fed
farm animals are necessary to success.
If the entire crop is saved, as it ought
to be, the cash value is as great, and
the net profits greater than those Of
cotton. By the use of modern machin-
cry the stalks can be made into hay
that is worth on the farm or the mar
ket nearly as much as the ears, includ-
ing shucks and cobs. 1t is important
that half the corn crop be not wasted.
