graphy of the late VIM. II Prescott
VIM. Hick ling Rrcscott, son of distinguish
ed lawyer and grandson of the immortal leader
of the American troops at the battle of Bun
ker Hill was born in Salem in l706. When
he was twelve years old his family removed
to Boston. Three years later, at the age of
fifteen, he entered Harvard College, and gra-
duaed with honor in 1914. lie had intend
ed to enter the profession of the law; but
serious accident destroyed for time all his
ambitious hopes. Previous to leaving Col
lege he had lost the sight of one eye from an
accidental blow, and the other weakened by
over exertion, began to fail him, 20 that
when he recovered from a severe illness into
which his situation had thrown him, he
found himself nearly blind.
His father, despairng of seeing him cured
by our physicians, sent him to Europe Dur
ing his two years residence abroad, he visit
ed England, France and Italy, and consulted
the most eminent oculsts in London and
Paris, but was obliged to return home with
out obtaining relief His European tour
was so far beneficial to him, that it entirely
restored his shattered physical health. Sin
guar to say, if we look at his bodily infrmi-
ties alone. he determined to be historian.
lie knew, too, what that title meant, and
with proud consciousness of his powers, as
well as a Just appreciation Of the aim he had
set before him, he gave himself up to ten
years preparatory course of reading. Then
selecting his subject, he worked upon it ano-
thcr ten years, and in 1898, at the age of
iorty-two, he gave to the world his History
OF Ferdinand and Isabella, publishing it 81

\ Juror CORRECTING A JUDGE.-A Judge
in Cincinnati last week had just charged the
jury in a very important case, when, to the
great astonishment of all present, profcs-
sional juror, who happened to be on. arose
from his seat and begged to call the attention
of his honor to slight mistake he had made
ties to sustain his opinion. Upon referring
to his citations, it was found, to the no small
amusement of the spectators, that the jury
man was right and his honor was wrong
whcreupon, with all due gravity, he inform
ed the bench that he knew he was correct,
as he had been charged at least forty times on
the same point in the last four months, and
couldn't be mistaken

Az AMERICAN MONUMENT IN SPAIN. The

and seems, like plants grown in cellar, to
be weak and sckly.
1t appears highly p, ,obable that the excel
lence of the wool of the Spanish Merino is,
in a measure, due to the equable temperature
which is secured by their extensive migra-
tons, passing the winter in the mild climate
of Estramandura and Andalusia and the
summer in the mountains of CASTLE or the
Pyrenecs.
All successful breeders of fine woollcd
sheep very well understand the importance
of protecting them from the sudden changes
of temperature so common in our variable
climate but a large majority of farmers
seem to have only a faint idea of the import
ance of this; and very many appear to ina
gine that an abundance of hay fed at the
stack in the open meadow with little grain,
is all that is required. 1t is true that sheep,
by liberal feeding may be kept in fair con-
dition without shelter, but although the con-
dition of the carcass be maintained, and the
animal appear thrifty, the quality of the
fleece will most certainly deterioratc. This
will in many cases account for the want OF
success which has followed the attempts of
some farmers to grow fine wool, They have.
perhaps, procured breeding animals of SUI
perior quality, and kept them in high con-
dtion, confidently expecting that they will
be able tu show "A better clip of wool thn
tt,ir ncighbors. But their sheep miss the
dry yards and warm shelter provid d for
them by him who bred them, and within
two years, yes, within II twelvemonth, the
purchaser finds that the peculiar iineness and
softncss of the fleece has gone, and he per-
haps fanccs there was some trlckcry on the
part of the seller, by which he was deceived,
and that the wool was never, in fact, as
good us he thought it.
Farmers who have any reason to believe
that they have been imposed on IN this way,
or who think that the quality of their wool
is deteriorating, will do well to visit the flock
of some more successful breeder. and if they
find the care and management of the latter
differs in any material respect from their own
it is reasonable to suspect that their own is
wrong -Sock Journal.

MAN OF THE WoRLD.-After all. it is with
men as with dinners-the plain and simple

Creditors and poor relations never call at

The love that is led with presents always

the principle that Hope has us many lives as

Tmidity in man is admired by woman a
gleat deal more than it is liked.
Scandal is visitor who never calls with

Abuse of women, like the abuse of wine

how is it possible that we should see any in
