The return of the strawberry season was always heartily welcomed by Dr. Johnson, for, as be once declared, of strawberries and cream he never could have too much. Fortunately he sometimes had opportunity to indulge his taste to the full, fos his friend. Dr. Taylor of Lichfield, whom he contrived when possible to visit at strawberry time, was rather a noted fruit grower, and when at his house it was, as Johnson said, with gusto. "Strawberries and cream, toujours strawberries and creaip!" A voracious eater at any time, jonnsons appeuie ror iruit was almost limitless. Mrs. Thrale tells us that be used often to eat half a dozen peaches before breakfast, and then frequently she bad beard him complain that never in all bis life had he quite as much wall fruit as be de sired, save once. The exceptional oc-? casion was during a visit to Lord Sandys' seat at Ombersley. The exact quantity be then devoured has not been recorded, but he was accused of clearing a whole wall side.?Pall Mall Gazette. The Light of Crystals. All diamonds do not shine iD the dark after exposure to sunlight or electric light, but some do to a remarkable degree. A diamond rubbed with a woolen cloth or against a bard surface will sometimes shine brilliantly. The emission of light is a property belonging to many if not all kinds of crystals. A variety of white marble found at Hastings-on-the-Hudson. N. Y? gives out a flame colored glow when pounded and bright flashes when serarched with steel. In northern New York is found a kind of stone known locally as "bell fire rock." which exhibits bright sulphur colored streaks when scratched in the dark. Pieces of rose quartz rubbed together exhibit brilliant flashes, sometimes bright enough to illuminate the hands of the person holding them. Smoked quartz and other varieties sometimes show a sim ilar phenomenon. ? Chicago RecordHerald. Not Lively.
