Alderman and His Critics.

President Alderman, of the University Of
Virginia, has been staying for few
days at the Hotel NVolcott.
Il II am much pleased" said Dr., Alder
man, "with the evident spirit Of fairness
that marks the alluslon OF the Tribune
to what r actually did say at the De-
cembcr dinner Of the Southern Society
upon the need and not the absence, or
present day leadership in the South.

one and the same time as one may prop
cry entertain who Is both q; New Eng

therefore. approach the discussion Of any
question III which the interest OF tho
South is involved III anything but Il SYM
pathetic spirit 1t Is already apparent
that it may BIO unfair to make a four line
excerpt from a forty-minute address the
basis for violent criticisms"
Speaking on educational matters, DR..
Alderman said:
'.The South is making amazing progress
in every field of educational endeavor,
and is now suuarcly meeting every OBJ
stncle that confronts that section, de-

Disgrace Of Public Executions.

we take this opportunity to again call
to the attention of the people OF Virginia
the necessity for having executions in the
pcnitentiary instead OF In the jail yards
OF the counties. For three, II not four,
sessions Of our Legislature has the Spec
tator urged the passage of such a law,
But once do wc think it was ever 81 rlous-
|ly consldered and that time was de-
fcntcd, we have heard. at the request OF
a majority or the sheriffs OF the State.
Just why they should have sought TO re-
tain such gruesome work on their duty
list the world will never know. I'VE Will
not 60 into any argument to show the
many reasons why this should BIO done,
but at the proper time we expect to make
our biennial call fon the Legislature for
Just such Il law, and 1t Is to be hoped
the sense of deccncy in that body will
then have arrived at the height whichWill

French Device Preserves Them for

FTenCn DcNlCc TTcScTsCc AHCW tSi
the Palate Of the Epleure.
A clever s-ench process by which
vine growers in France are able to
market fresh outdoor grapes all
through the winter is thus described.
Bunches Of the finest grapes when
ripe in autumn are cut In such a way
that to each bunch piece of the vine
five or six inches long remains at
tached From this piece the stems OF
the bunch hang. an arrangement vital
ly necessary to the success of the op-
GRAFTON.
A large number Of wide-mouth bot
ties, filed with water, is ranged in a
cellar and in the open end Of each Is
inserted the pieces Of vine stem, the
punches OF grapes hanging outside.
The grapes do not touch the water,
but are thus supplied with moisture
through the vine stem, which is i'm
mersed in water. BY this process
choice varieties of table grapes are
kept in perfect condition for the whole
winter.
The temperature of the cellar is uni
form and moderately low and care is
taken daily to supply the bottles with
the water lost by EVAPORATION. Fruit
thus carefully tended is somewhat
costly, but there are many patrons
who willingly pay So bunch for the
delicacy OF fresh grapes in midwinter.

cassinl Of Italian Ancestry.

Count Arturo Cassini, the Russian
ambassador to Washington, who has
just rounded out half century of dip
lomatic service, is of Italian ancestry
his forefathers on the paternal side
having for eight generations back
been noted astronomers. His father
was called to the st. Petersburg OBJ
servatory, and that is bow the ambas
sador came to be born in Russia. He
was an only son and was intended fol
the profession Of his forefathers, but
having no taste in that direction en-
tered the foreign office as an amanu
ensis. He was then IS years old and
he has been in the diplomatic sery'
ice ever since.

That the sure way Of building up

shown by the experience of Mr.. and

Both were weak and worn and dis
spirited They used Dodd's Kidney
Pills and to-day both enjoy the best
of health.
Mr.. Duffey says: Il was very weak

thing which people said was good but
got no benefit till tried Dodd's Kid
ney Pills. They helped me in every
way and am strong and well now"
Mrs. Duffey says. Il was so bad

Thought Blacks Immortal.

The natives of the West Indies
imagined that the negroes, wko were
imported in droves as slaves from
western Africa by the early Spanish
governors, we're immortal, says Pear
sons Weekly. The black man was a
novelty to these islanders, and their
belief arose from the fact that the
negroes were never seen to suffer
from any natural infirmity, such as af-
fected the white man and the island
ers themselves.
The American climate. agreed with
them better than their own unhealthy
Guinea; and from their remarkable
vigor and extraordinary longevity the
Indians not unnaturally concluded
that they we're immortal For a long
time they saw or heard of none who
died. except as criminals at the hands
of Spanish executioners, and so they
believed that the only way TO put an
end to a negro's life was to hang him.

Servants wen Fed

Most London servants are served
with food no less than seven times a
day. says Hearth and Home They
partake of tea, like their masters, on
awakening. Breakfast in the room
for the upper functionaries, in the
servants hall for the lesser, is a sub
stantial meal. At II o'clock, beer or
milk and light refreshments are set
forth, and bridge the time till a
heavy repast at o'clock or so. Ten,
and then an elaborate dinner, and
refreshments or light supper about 10
O'Clock bring the number of meals up
to seven.
