Dr. Johnson and Fruit.
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.

Variety spices life. The plan is monotonous

name of prairie or desert and it gains
interest through vastness.
There was an old couple in the village
whom I used often to go to see.
One day when I found them sitting,
one on each side of the fire, the old
man said to me:
"Well, t'missis and me. we've been
married nigh on fifty years, and we've
never had one quarrel."
The old woman looked at me with
a twinkle in her eye aDd said:
