The First English Actress.
From the Strand Magazine.

No English actress made her appear

Pepys records: ITO the theater. where
was acted the 'Beggar's Bush,' 1t being
very we'll done, and here the first time
that ever I saw women come upon tho
stage"
But these, 1t is suspected. were mere
walking ladies'" A few days later the
diarist went to see performance Of The
Silent Woman: Among other things
here Kynaston, the boy. had the good
turn to appear in three shapes--first as a
poor woman in ordinary clothes, to please
MoIose; then in fine clothes. as q gallant.
and in them was clearly the prettiest
woman in the whole house. He had a
year before declared that "Kynaston as
Olympia made the loveliest lady that l
ever saw In my life"
The distinction OF being the first Eng
lish actress has been variously ascribed
to Mrs. Davenport, Mrs. Knipp and Mrs.
Davies. They all appeared the same year

a rather extra forage crop and is

Modern physics Of Epicurus.

Let us ask ourselves If, in our theo-
ries of atoms and electrons. we have
really advanced beyond the ideas of
the ancients. Democritus certainly
advanced theory of atoms, and Epic
urus taught that an infinite number
of atoms. existing from all eternity in
infinite space. continually in motion,
were the elements of that matter OF
which the universe is composed. It
is true that our modern theory Of
atoms at first sight seems to resem-
BILE closely that of these two philoso-
piers; for in the air of room we
suppose billions of atoms; we believe
in the continuity of matter, and there
fore that all matter is ultimately
made up of atoms. The ancients'
conception of atoms was fight of the
Imagination, but the modern theory
is supported by measurements of
weight, magnitude and speed-At

GRATING.

Grating unlike budding, says Fancy
Fruit. is usually performed during
the dormant period of growth. It is
accomplished by carefully fitting a
small dormant twig or scion of the
variety we wish to propagate, into
a cut in stock or Seeding tree which
we wish to change. There are several
forms Of grating, but they differ more
in method than in results. In fact. so
far as the top of the tree IS concern
ed, the results are the same in all
cases whether we bud or graft. The
object sought is to change an unde-
sirable or uncertain tree into one
which we know will produce variety
whose fruit viii possess certain de.
sirable characteristics,
