ALL BOWED BEFORE PATTI
taneus Cantatrice Adored at Probably
No Other Singer of Any
Generation Hat Been.
?*e death of Patti, the adored
#va of our grandparents, would have
been a calamity if it had takeD place
In their time. She was not only an
, eaqnisite singer, but a woman unique
Cor beauty, charm and loveliness. 1
knew her well. And how interesting
It was to hear her talk of her youth.
Ehe vowed that she sang as the
birds sing, from babyhood. An aotuaintance
tells me that he was at
scot races on the day of Patti's
debut, and came to hear her, and
how, when, tiny, black-eyed and
fweet she came onto the stage at
Oovent Garden, not a hand was
raised to greet her. But she sang.
And then it was as if the house had
been of straw and had caught fire.
People went mad over her."
Later Patti went to St. Petersburg,
fhey strewed the stage with roses
and camelias for her to walk on,
and gave her diamonds and pearls
In caskets. I remember her showing
me a little Russian ring. It was a
Stave of gold, and on It were the
notes in diamonds, la, do, re?
"L'Adoree." A charming idea.
Not enough has been said of Pattra
warm heart. She never forgot
an old friend, and never neglected
one; even when poor William Ganz
was past playing accompaniments the
diva let him play to her own
despite. Ganz wore a wig?wigs, in
fact?to deceive his best friends?
wigs which he changed from week to
week to sueeest that his hair was
growing. Patti knew all about it,
. and with "Maitre, your hair wants
Catting," would send him off to the
barber?the wig cabinet?for the
Shortest-haired one. And the round
of deception would begin again.?London

Historic New Orleans Building, Long
the Mecca of Governors of the
State, Is for Sale.

The Gem cafe, famous in New Orleans
history as the rendezvous where
the rescue of Napoleon from Saint
Helena was plotted, where the first
mardi gras parade was planned, where
the state legislature met and worked
out a campaign against the carpet-bag
rule, where the exclusive Pickwick
dub was formed and where governors
f Louisiana for years have held their
discussions over coffee cups and wine
glasses, is for sale.
Originally the home of a Spanish
nobleman, the landmark of Rue Royal,
which was a coffee house just across
Rue Royal in the days when the "Senate,**
America's Monte Carlo, was running,
is said to antedate the old "Absinthe
house," which has been a mecea
for New Orleans tourists. In late
years despite the development of modern
restaurants, the Gem cafe has been

Armless Painters Win Fame.
8ome years ago in London I saw
I fine water-color landscapes by an art\
1st who had lost both arms, writes a
reader to the Manchester (Eng.)
Guardian. His name, if I remember
rightly, was Bertram Hiles, and he
held his brush (a rather long one)
between his teeth when painting.
And at the Edinburgh School of Art
nome twelve years ago or more there
was a student who also was armless,
though he held his crayon or pencil
with his toes.
Then there was the case of Daniel
Vlerge, the Spaniard. At one time
Vierge was a facile but not greatly
distinguished magazine illustrator, and
' his reputation was confined to his own
country. But becoming paralyzed in
his right s^de and losing the entire
use of his right arm he learned to use
r ?
his left, developed a new style influenced
by the slower execution, and
gained an international reputation as
a pen and ink draughtsman.
Script or Print Writing?
There is a movement in England to
abolish script writing and replace It
by print writing. The characters used
J
in me prupuseu sjmcui aic mc umr
nary printed letters known as the Roman
block letters with the exception
of "a" and "g," which are simplified
Into their script forms. Print characters
were used centuries ago by
monks before script writing became
the fashion. Advocates of the proposed
reform claim that it has many
advantages over ordinary handwriting,
particularly in that the child
learns much more quickly. Many British
educational authorities favor print
writing and It is taught in numerous
British schools. There Is no waste of
time on the Innumerable joinings of
letters, and superfluous loops and
flourishes are abolished. At least one
big London firm has adopted the system.
New Ideas in Adding Machine.
At least two novel features are embodied
in the construction of a new
adding machine described in the Popular
Mechanics Magazine. Most remarkable,
perhaps, is the facility and
safety with which it may be taken
apart, in spite of its complex nature.
* a pair of pliers and a penknife being
the only tools necessary. The operation
of greatest value, however, is the
machine's ability to subtract as easily
an It adds. This Is made possible by
a ilmple revei-slng lever which causes
the adding wheels to run backward.
ME AND COMMERCIAL
ORCHARDS NEED CADE
Peaches and Small Fruits to Help
Fight the Boll Weevil.
Clemsoa College, Dec. 22.?It has
been conclusively proved that the
soils of South Carolina are more
than ordinarily adapted to the. growing
of fruits, both for the home and
for markets. Under our present boll
weevil conditions, the home orchard
and the fruit garden must play an
even greater part in reducing the
cost of living than it has played heretofore.
The amateur fruit grower
blazes the way, as it were, for the
larger operations in this industry; and
it is in the commercial production
of peaches and small fruits that the
cotton farmers will find a field rich
; both in returns and in enjoyment,
suggests - George P. Hoffman. Extension
Service Horticulturist.
The Site and Soil Selection.
! It is urged that the most careful
,jnnmhinAri with the best
CUixsiucxauuu,
judgment, be used in selecting the
orchard site and soil. In the home
orchard the site is fully as important
as the soil,
i The home orchard site should be
chosen for the following points: easy
reach and protection; sufficient size to
prevent divided plantings; situation to
add to general attractiveness of the
home grounds; air circulation and atmospheric
drainage. The soil should
have good surface and subdrainage.
medium fertility and freedom from
diseased and insect-infested trees.
! The commercial orchard site should
be chosen for accessibility and market
outlet, community production and
good air circulation and drainage. The
soil should have drainage, fertility
and physical condition, and proved
field trial of fruit grown.
t Fruit and Variety Selection.
Careful consideration should be
given the purpose for which fruit of
the proposed orchard is being grown?
home, local or commercial consumption.
In the commercial orchard both
the fruit and the varieties should be
narrowed down to a minimum, and
greater areas planted to those best
adapted to the immediate section and
particularly suited to the market conditions.
Many orchards are unfruitful failures
as a result of unwise selection
and Door sources of the trees and
Vines. To safeguard against this,
fanners and amateur orchardists
should consult with their county agricultural
agent, or write to the Extension
Service, Clemson College, S. C.

Care of Nursery Stock When
Received.
Immediate planting on arrival of
nursery stock insures greater success,
and every effort should be made to
have things' in readiness. However,
if the soil and weather condition!
do not permit immediate planting, dig
a trench of sufficient size and depth,
remove the wrapping material from
the bundle and completely cover the
stock with soil. It is very essential
that special attention be given to all
shipments of trees and vines ordered
or received during severe weather, as,
in many instances, such shipments
are necessarily subjected to frost injury,
either in transit or before being
planted, and may be damaged to
such an extent as to make them unfit
for planting.
If trees are frozen upon arrival,
completely bury both roots and tops
in moist earth, or allow them to thaw
slowly in a cellar.
If trees have dried out in transit,
open the bundle, cut the bottom band,
carefully spread the roots and completely
bury both roots and tops. Allow
to remain several days and they
may resume their natural condition.
Laying Out the Orchard and Preparing
the Soil.
Usually the lay of the land predetermines
the method of laying out the
svw/tVioT-,3 Tr? Ail ifici-flnrps Rurh meth
VJll/UaiU. i.U an ? ?
ods should be employed as will prevent
soil washing and accommodate
as many trees per acre as possible.
The soil should be broken deeply,
subsoiled (where a hard pan is pres;
ent) and thoroughly harrowed. This
work should be done during the fall
and early winter, at which time a
cover crop of rye, clover or vetch,
depending upon the fertility and physical
condition of the soil, may be
sown.
The holes in which the trees are
to be set may be dug, dynamited or
plowed out. However, plowing la
more economical and is recommended,
as more thorough cultivation between
the trees can be given. In the use
of dynamite, which is recommended
in some cases, care should be taken
, not to plant the trees too early after
: dynamiting, and to stir the soil veil
before setting.
Planting.
i Time. Depth and Fertilizing.?Lata
fall and early winter planting offer
; decided advantages over spring
j planting, and there Is no danger from
I cold injury in this state,
j; The planting depth of the trees
; and vines should not be more than
j two inches deeper than when standing
1 in the nursery, and one pound (about
one quart) of any good balanced commercial
fertilizer or one forkful ol
well rotted stable manure should be
thoroughly mixed with about a bushel
of top soil and used in filling in
around the roots. Thorough mixing ol
the fertilizer and soil, and packing
the latter is very essential; otherwise,
i injurious effects might result from
.burning ind drying out
Preparatory to planting, the root!
of the trees and vines should not b4
