How to Set Ont Strowborry Plants.
; ' ; '' ' : March 2, 1892.
Editor Chronicle: " ' "'-,.-
As it is the time of year that many.
people set out new strawberry buds, a
few words concerning the Modus oper
andi may not be altogether out of place.
First as to the implement doing the
work. Take an old ax and put a ten or
twelve inch handle into it from - the
reverse side and -you are ready. " Now
having reached the end of the row and
gotten down on one knee, you strike
the- old ax into'the ground at about the
spot where you should wish your first
plant to take up its. future residence.
Now pick up -your plant by the top,
something after the manner in which
you might lift a young rabbit by the
ears, s'ip the roots through the other
hand so as to leave them spread out fan-
shaped, remove your ax and-you have a
cut just the right shape and size to re
ceive the roots, drop them in and a sec
ond cut with' the -ax, near the first one
presses the dirt tight to the roots all the
way down, ana anotner siignt lick witn
the ax tills the second cat and the work
is done. The plants should be. kept wet
in order that the roots may spread out
nicely and remain so, when you strip
tnem tnrougn your nana, ana they
should be dropped ahead of the one that
is settincr them. I caK set more nlanta
per dby by this method and do it better
than in any other way I have ever tried
CONVERSATION A . jOST ART.
Feople'Kowadaya Appear to Meet to Do
' Almost Everything but Talk.
When any number of persons wish to
combine for social purposes nowadays
they form a club. The club, however;
U. by .no means a social organization.
The pretext' is some sort of mind culture,
an arena for the discussion of some subject-Shakespeare's
' plays, Browning,
Dante, the stage, indicate the simpler
range of topics. Or if nothing better
offers, the members set . np a man of
straw and have shies at him, a sort of in
tellectual game of Aunt Sallie. ' .
The town is honeycombed with such
clubs. They are superseding dancing
and the natural diversions of the young
and conversation and cards of the more
mature. The common pleasure in meet
ing one another in good clothes and off
duty no longer exists. Nor have the so
cial affiliations that used to be found in
the church and In the 'mission school
any reuiiningpower of social cohesion.
It is a curious development, and is na
turally in a more vigorous state among
people from other parts of the country
who have come here to live, and must
find excuses for social organization out
side those that exist in older and allied
communities of people. An inherent
craving to know and to commune about
Plato or Renaissance art will furnish a
pretext for social advances that no one
can possibly mistake for bumptiousness
or any undue social aspiration. When
a sufficient number Of persons : with a
Kindred thirst is discovered its satisfac
tion taker place at intervals in one an
other's drawing rooms. This climbing
of staircases, ascent of elevators, fa
miliarity with one another's surround
ings and subsequent wafers and cups of
tea after the main business is concluded,
furnish as solid and as quickly riveted
bonds as are welded by society in any of
its older forms. '
The regret is that conversation, the
politest, the most spiritual, evanescent,
the most agreeable of all arts, has no
greater chance in the mind culture clubs
than elsewhere. Where discussion and
information flourish the flame of conver
sation flickers .and goes .out. Perhaps
the speaker must rise to speak, or there
is a moderator or president who clings
to . the main issue, or with great indis
cretion allows each person three minutes,
watch in hand, perhaps, to say nothing.
Or there may be a thirty minute paper
on "The Influence of Russian Thought
on the Accumulations" of Wealth," which
settles down over the assembledtntel
iects like a pall and calls for maids with
tea to the rescue.
Conversation has- long since .been
driven from more fashionable gayeties
where wit. wisdom and repartee are cut
off at some vital, blood letting point by
the hostess' signal to listen to the song
or story of the professional entertainer:
and where the guests think themselves
happy if thpy are not forced into serried
ranks of camp chairs. Conversation is
no longer iermitted except at the dinner
table, and then the amateur or profes
sional story teller is apt to have, the first
fork, anil seems only to precede the
jester -yet to uei fonnd "behind his mis
tress" chair. " '"
Regret, however, is only a faint sigh
for the snows of last yearl - The wise
person does not quarrel with what is but
accepts it as the outcome of circum
stances, or the result of tendencies too
wide reaching or too deep for us to grasp.
If weare all under the pressure of mind
' culture it is doubtless for some good end
and if everywhere the more familiar
wagging of our tongues is checked there
are passages of scripture that will arise
in explanation and consolation to tho
silent member. New York Evening Sun,
Gifts of Tary Poor Children.'. '
The 'children in the free kindergarten
in West Fifty-fourth street' received an
object lesson in charity on Thanksgiving
day. . Most of these children are of poor
parentage, some of them even destitute.
A day or two before Thanksgiving day
their teachers talked to them in a kindly
way about the real purpose and spirit of
the day. They had nurtured the idea
that it was a feast day, and .that' they
ought to have a nice dinner in the
school. . The teachers told them- that
they could best manifest their thankful
ness ' for the blessings -they enjoyed by
contributing some little gift to make
others, poorer than themselves, happy.
There was no urging that the children
should give, but merely the suggestion.
On Thanksgiving day an autumn festi
val was held at the free kindergarten,
and one of its most interesting and beau
tiful features was the offering of gifts
for the poor by these poor children.
They marched ia procession around a
large table and deposited -their little
tokens.
One very small boy brought a big red
apple, another a small paper of candy,
still another a much worn picture book,
and a fourth laid a set of jackstones on
the table. But it was the offering of a
poorly clad and pale faced little girl that
touched the hearts of the observers most
keenly. She modestly placed upon the
table a single sprig of geranium, which
had doubtless been plucked from a care
fully nurtured home plant. There were
other more pretentions, and valuable
gifts, and all were gathered up and dis
tributed among the poor patients in the
various city " . hospitals. New York

The Alligator Played 'Possum.
An alligator that played 'possum came
near doing damage to some young men
near Milieu" - Monday. Van Tyler, of
this place, together with Messrs. Apple
white and DeLoach, of Millen, had been
out to the river hunting. They had killed
a. 'gator about seven 'feet long,, and
Lputting mm in the wagon were bringing
fnim to the town. ' Van, who was sitting
near the middle of the wagon, began to
triumph over his fallen enemy - by con
temptuously kicking him in the' side.
Then a thing happened that was done so
quick the boys can't explain it. There
was a rush, a snap, a yell, and Van went
out the wagon head foremost, and leav
ing as a souvenir a part of. his pants
hanging on the 'gator's teeth;
The other boys woke up to the im
portance of hasty action, but DeLoach
took a little too much time in getting
ready for an old fashioned head fore
most dive into a sand bed, hence he
struck, the ground minus a shoe heel,
which his 'gatOrship gratefully . swal
lowed and slyly '-wunk' his eye as if he

boys rallied from their stampede,' and
advancing with guns put an end to
their foe. Waynesboro (Ga.) True Citi-,
