DICKENS LAST READING.
From These Garish Lights I Vanish
Now for Evermore."
!. F. Dickens. X. c.. in Harper's Magazine.

H. F. Dickens. X. c.. in Harper's Magazine.
There is one other striking scene in
his life which stands out as clearly and
distinctly to me now as though 1T hap
pened only yesterday. This was his
final appearance as a reader, which
took place at st. James Hall in March,
1870. shortly before he died. These
readings had been a source of great de-
light as well as profit to him, though
they entailed an enormous amount of
labor and exhaustion, and materially
tended to the shortening of his life. Of
all the readings. the one which ex-
hausted him most was "Sikes and
Nancy" after reading which he was sc
overcome by the strain that he became
practically speechless until he had re-
stored his vitality by a light supper
Strong pressure was put upon him to
induce him to abandon his intention of
undertaking this overpowering effort.
which was the cause of an ever-in-
creasing drain upon his physical re-
sources. But he was not to be deter
red. He had given a trial reading to
which had. unfortunately, been received
with such an extraordinary demonstra-
tion of enthusiasm as to make it quite
impossible for him to resist the temp
tdtlon OF giving IL lot the Denent OIL
the public at large.
These series of public readings were
four in number. namely: 1S5S-6O, 1861
63, 1S66-67, 1S68-70 (Which covers his
readings both in America and England;.
Some weeks before the time fixed for
his final reading he had been very ill,
his series of readings had been peremp-
torily stopped for the time by his<medi
cal advisers, and he had suffered from
grave symptoms which pointed to the
paralysis which was eventually to
overcome him. The result was that
when the last night came he was
greatly shaken, and, though this was
unknown to his audience, was in fact
a doomed man. Not that he realized
this himself. nor did his bodily weak
ness impair in the slightest degree the
power or the effect of his reading. He
chose the Christmas Carol and the trial
scene from Pickwick, and I do not
think he ever made a stronger impress
sion upon the minds of his hearers than
he did on that memorable occasion. At
last the reading was over and the end
came which is SO well described by
Forster. In a few words of farewell
he thanked the public, and then in a
voice of deep emotion he said: From
these garish lights I vanish now for
evermore with heartfelt, grateful, re-.
spectful. affectionate farewell" What
followed almost battles description. l
can only say that 1 have never seen a
large mass of people so deeply or SO
genuinely moved.

The Trip Around the World.

From the National Magazine
Our navy in 1909 had completed its
trip around the world-sixteen large ships
of war. 1t was said that the trip was
an imprudent trip, but it is now admitted
that the trip was a glorious inspiration !;
it has given thrill of pride to every
patriotic American; established a worlds
record: put America first in great and
daring undertaking; established the fact
to the world that we can build as efficient
and as excellent fighting machines as any
Of our rivals; the excellence of our COM
manding officers in the American navy
and Of the boys in blue and their superb
ority in ability to perform the duties of
their lower, but important, position
The trip was an object lesson to the
world and to ourselves; but there are
more lessons than those of war. From
the time our fleet left our own shores
until our fleet returned again the only
American flags our navy saw were those
accompanying golfers, without whose
help they could not move, beyond the
steaming radius of each individual battle
ship. carried the flags of our trade rivals.
which American bidders could carry coal
at a profit was So per ton, whereas our
foreign rivals carried the coal for us at
IS per ton; and so our battleships were
followed around the world by the COM
mercialIy triumphant flags of our COM
mercial rivals
All the long thousands Of miles about
the coast of South America our men
looked in vain for a single American
flag flying from single American ship.
At Honolulu they may have seen a few;
at Yokohama, few: at Shanghai. a few:
and at Hongkong. few; but from Hong
kong until they returned home again
they saw no trading ships carrying the
Stars and Stripes.

Can you throw back to the Napoleonic

village, and had told him of troops, in

through toward the coast. The dusty
troops, the long white road, and the
villagers sympathetic with buckets Of

Potatoes In Europe and America

A MEXICAN progress in the develop
~ ment of improved varieties of po-
tatoes has not been satisfactory
as compared with the progress of lead
ing European countries, is the statement
Of the bureau of plant industry Of the
Department of Agriculture.
The best European varieties possess
q better flavor, color and texture, par
ticularly for boiling and frying, but
these do not succeed when introduced
into the United States. If private grow
ers would engage in this work as they
have in Great Britain, Germany and
Austria, they would find it fasci-
mating industry and would undoubtedly
make notable achievements.
In America we have much to accom-
plish in breeding potato with a
greater starch content. Our potatoes
are now lower than the German va
rieties by from to 5 per cent.
Our climatic conditions in America
are SO diverse that we need varieties
Of potatoes adapted to special local
tiles. Particularly do we need a heat
resistant strain that can more sue
eessfully Withstand the high summer
temperatures. Disease resistance is an
other quality that has been bred into
certain foreign sorts, but Is 30 lack
ing in ours that we have to quaran-
tine absolutely certain foreign types
that might bring disease with them
