Quite the most exciting and interesting present magnetzng the cities, New York event, socially and in a literary way, at and Boston, is the presence of MT. Henry James, the master novelist of our coun- try who for so long has been welded to England. It was quite feared he had become expatriated. Mir. James, a bach elor, as all the world knows, is an enter tainer a host par excellence, fastidious and exquisite. A thousand tales are told of his famous home at Rye, stately white Georgian mansion, where he lives en- throned in solitary splendor, a retinue of superbly trained servants about him,
 systematic, precise. well ordered, far more like clock work than ever Ben- edicts home could be. Then the lunch- cons, the house parties, the dinners in- time-they are the talk of all England. Only to be invited by the fastidious MT. James, only to be spoken to by the un- approachable end unapproaching lion, that is Il miracle devoutly prayed for by every dame and debutante of the Lon don drawing rooms, For, so it is gos
 slipped, MT. James cries avaunt to all but clever women and men. He will never be bored but once, Signs for this tragic consumation are being trembling ly awaited in provincial America. Shall society lose. or shall 1t win MT. Henry James is question on the tip of tongues.

House parties in the country-that old time winter feature of the south-are now but rarely found, as so few of the colonial homes are kept up today in half the old state or even fare forth one step 10 the dance and melody of the social present. But at least there is one. and eourtly old place it is-and known of all the south 1t is-Monmouth in old Natchez the home of the celebrated General John A. Quitman, whose two daughters, Mrs. Lowell and Mrs. Rosalie Quitman Dun can are so well known in Birmingham. having frequently visited Mrs. ". s. Lowell of this city Just at present Mrs. Lowell and her daughter Miss Rose Low ell, are visiting Mrs. Duncan at their old family home. where there is quite charming gathering of young people pass ing the winter season.
 Although the famous old estate is now conlpassed by city limits q stretch of 75 acres intervenes between Monmouth-and neighbor-and the ancient forest trees, tall on the rolling ground, shadow the place and hold 1t in their arms-presery- ing the Illusion still, vision of the old south.
 The house itself massive eolumned solemn looking severely orie, stands high on the sloping ground withdrawing from the half-moon driveway as some white cloud castle. And ill the spring the flow CTS are it's stars. Here is the most won derful rose garden of the south-in rose timei Just now the red glow is indoors, the bright fires under the snow white arching mantels mirror laden, branching with old candelabra. In the great trance hall hang three rusty sabres which belonged to General Qutman. His uniforms are here preserved with great est care, and there are many fine old fam fly portraits There are two portraits of the General among .nem, one painted just after the Mexican war and crowning with laurel the hero of Belen Gate. In the library is an interesting painting of the battle of Chapultepec. In fact there is not detail of Monmouth, indoors or out, that is not enchanted by the years, gifted with charm.

Michigan Crop Report.

The weather during he past month
was cold and dry. These conditions
were not particularly favorable for
wheat and grass but did enable farm
ers to make rapid progress with their
spring work. In some localities there
were heavy showers which interrered
with the sowing Of oats. There were
some heavy frusts but it is not thought
that any serious damage was done to
fruit.

FRUIT.
The prospects for fruit are good and
unless very late frOsts occur the yield
will be up to the average. Some vare-
ties of apples will bear light crop
this year on account of the heavy crop
of year ago. Some pear trees are
dying Of blight but this is likely 10
occur each year until some specific
remedy for the disease Is discovered.
Peach trees are dying in some localit
IFS from the effects of the cold winter
of 1904. Strawberries are reported to
be in fine condition but the acreage is
cons derably below the average,
Many reports are received OF the
presence of San Jose Scale. 1t is cyl
dent that the orchardist who wishes
to preserve his trees will need 10 spray
thoroughly and Systematically here
after. From one standpoint this pest
may be blessing in disguise since IL
will completely kill many orchards
that have been neglected for years and
haye been breeding places for fungus
di-eases and insect enemies, leaving
the fruit growing industry in the
hands Of competent men who care for
their trees.
The following table will show the
prospects for crop Of the various
kinds Of fruit at the present time:
Apples 80, Pears SO, Peaches 10,
Plums IS, Cherries 90. Small Fruit 81,
