Outside one OF the gates of Rome
the resort of Sunday and holiday-keep-
ing Romans, and, precisely, Perta PIa.
through which Victor Emmanuel and
his army entered in 1S70-there stands,
halfway between two waysids eating
and drinking houses, little church, de-
dicated to st. Agnes, young virgin
martyr, who suffered death rather than
to be married to the son of the Cover
nor Of Rome. who was dying of love for
her. She was only thirteen years of age;
but girls Of that age arc women in Italy.
So she answered his protestations of
love by saying: 81 am affianced to him
whom angels serve, and whom the sun
and moon adore"

biographer-with being publicly dis
honored In an infamous place, and then
to be killed in most cruel way. my

She was then thrown on burning pile;
but, laughing and singing praises to God,
she deaed the flames, which could not
be made to burn her.
Shs was then made to walk naked
through the streets of Rome, and was
also exposed in place of bad repute-
the Agoual Circus. There her hair grew
miraculously long and covered her like
q cloak. and the Governors son was
struck with blindness. At last she was
beheaded. The place of bad repute
where she was exposed was after
wards transformed into chapel,
and over it was built one OF the most
beautiful churches in Rome. 1t ia not
there, however, that she was buried.
The Christians Of that day took her
her body and buried it in catacomb
outside Of Rome. The catacomb bears
her name, and over her tomb was built
q splendid church during Constantine's
reign, and this church was restored by
Paul III. in the sixteenth century, and
still later by Plus IX. 1t is in this little
church that on every anniversary of her
death are brought on cushions two little
lambs decorated with flowers and rib
bons. They are blessed, and then they
are taken to the Pope, who sends them
to the Convent of st. Cecilia, were they
are shorn of wool, which is afterwards
woven into the patliunas worn by the
Pope and Cardinals and some of the
Archbishops. The Church OF st. Agnes.

of the lamb, which il outside the door.

Learning Farming.

It is generally understood that to be
mechanic q man must serve An ap-
premiership at the trade. The mechan-
cal principles, as well as the applica-
ton of them, must be learned.
If merchantile pursuits are to be en-
gagged in, a course OF education LII
commercial and business college Is es-
sential; and then the practical details
of the business must be learned under
the eye OF one experienced In the busi-
ness. No man expects to enter on
successful career in any of these with
out years of study and preparation.
And no one would think OF employing
any one professionally who had not
qualified himself for his calling by this
course of thorough preparation.
This being the case in regard to the
other callings in life, it would seem but
reasonable that the farmer, who for the
highest success IN his vocation requires
a more general and varied knowledge
than is necessary for any ether busl-
ness, should seek for that previous
training which alone can qualify hlm
for such success.
But such is not usually the case. 1t
seems to be the prevailing opinion among
men-and especially among farmers
that anybody can farm, whether he has
had any previous knowledge OF the bus
mess or preparat: on for it, or not.
There is, happily, a change In the
public mind on this subject; and the
time is doubtless near when man will
no more think of engaging In agricul-
tural pursuits without an agricultural
education than he would now engage IN
professional life without suitable edu-
cation. The young man who intends to
engage in farming should serve q
thorough apprenticeship under the eye
of2s first-class practical farmer

Life of Children.

1t has been calculated by q recent
writer on vital statistics, that of ten
children born in Norway a little over
seven reach their twentieth year; that In
England and the United States of Ame-
rica somewhat less than seven reach that
age; that ip France only Eve reach it,
and in Ireland less than five. He tells
Us that in Norway, out Of 1000 born
rather mere than one out of three rea-
ches the age of seventy; in England one
out of four; in the United States, if both
sexes be computed, less thai one out OF
four; in France less than one out OF
eight, and in Ireland less than one out
of eleven, and he adds this significant
computation, based on what may be
called the commercial view Of the vital
question. In producing dead machine
~ the cost of all that is broken In the
making is charged to the cost of that
which is completed. If we estimate by
this same rule the cost of rearing child
rem to manhood, if we calculate up the
number Of years lived by those who fell
with the years OF those who passed sue
cessfully to manhood, there would be
found between the two extremes pres
ented in Norway and Ireland-both, be
it observed unnaturai-a loss OF 120 per
cent. greater in the first year of life, 72
per cent. greater in the first four years
of life, and 12O per cent. greater in the
years between the fifth and the twentieth
in Ireland than in Norway. In Norway
the average length of life of the effective
population is 80 and rather more than a
half years, in England 35i years, in
France not quite 33 years, and in Ire
land not quite 20 years. Thus again
comparing the best with the worst of a
scale of vitality, in which both are bad,
in Norway the proportion of the popu-
lation that reaches 20 survives nearly
40 years, or four-ffths of the effective
period. to contribute to the wealth of the
community; while in Ireland the same
proportion survives less than 29, or con-
siderably under three-fifths of the ef-
fectIve period.

Boss Dogs Of America.

There is In Wilmington, Delaware, the
finest kennel of English setter dogs
owned in the United States. There are
thirty in the kennel. Plantagsnet is by
all odds the finest dog in the pack and
is generally conceded to be the champion
living dog. He is two years old,
sired by Dashing Monarch and out Of
Petrol. He took first prize in the open
class of the dog show in Pittsburg and
will compete In the high shows In New
York, and in Boston early in May, ap-
pearing in both in the champion cla-s.
The only dog that can seriously COM
pete with Plantagenet is Thunder,
owned by Mr.. Moore. of Philadel-
phis. Thunder is out of Fairy. q
pure Laverack setter, now owned by Mr.
Goodsell. Plantagenet is of Llewellyn
stock, which Is but an outcross of La
verack. For Plantagenst s1,5OO has
been offered and refused. Money viii
not buy him.
Another splendid specimen of the
canine race found in Mr.. Martins ken-
mel is Fairy one OF the last, if not the
last surviving of Mr.. Laverack's own
breeding in America. Among the other
notables in the kennel are Petrol, bred
by Mr.. Llewellyn, though of pure L.
verack stock; Petrel III. by Pride OF the
Border, and Petrel I'LL, by Carlowitz,
who in his old age is also owned by Mr..
Goodsen. Old Petrol took the cham
pionship prize at Birmingham dog show
and was awarded the same honor in the
show at Philadelphia in 1878. Petrol
III, took the prize at the great show in
New York last year and Petrol LII. got
second prize in the recent Pittsburg
show.

DIsraeli and Prince Albert.

Some of the papers have been quite
hysterical about the Queens long
friendship for Lord Beaconsfield and
her keen appreciation of his talents.
The real fact is that the Queen had
scarcely ever seen Lord Beaconsfeld
when he became Prime Minister in
1865. He had managed to offend her
majesty and Prince Albert in the days
when lie was leading the protectionists /;
and it is q fact that, until Mr.. Dis
raeli WAS Chancellor OF the Exchequer,
he was never once invited to a State
entertainment. These functions were
then more frequent and more brilliant
than they are now, and formal protest
against the exclusion was secretly sent
to the palace by several of Mr.. Disraeh's s
followers, it being pointed out that it
was an unprecedented thing for the
leader of the opposition in the House of
Commons to be thus neglected but
Prince Albert was not fond of Mr.. Dis
raelie, and II he had lived 1t Is quite
certain that Lord Besconsfeld would
never have been a court favorite. 1t is
rather an odd fact, by the way, consid
ering the high-Aown eulogies of which
the Prince Consort has ever been the
subject, that the three statesmen whom
he most disliked, and whom he did his
best to thwart aud put aside, were Lord
Palmerston, Mr.. Disraeli, and Mr..
Gladstone. During the nine months
Mr.. Disraeli was in office in 1868, he
managed to ingratiate himself with the
Queen, who, in the first instance, would
scarcely hear Of his becoming Prime
Minister, and the good impression he
then left was rendered permanent dur
ing the first months Of ais second ten
urs Of power.

The Polar Night.

1t Is Z mistake to suppose that the Arc
tic winter, in the higher latitudes, Is a
long, dreary one of opaque darkness. The
highest latitude yet reached by man is 81
deg, 20 min, 90 sec., and there twilight
lasts four hours and forty-two minutes ON
Dec. 22d, the shortest day of the northern
wear. Man will have to go seme 225 miles
further north than he has yet gone If he is
to reach the region Of absolute darkness
The pole itself is in the dark but seventy
seven days-from Nov. 18th to Jan. Goth.
There is a period Of about four days In the
year during which the sun shines on Doth
ooles at the same time. THIS Is due to the
TACT that the sun Is larger than the earth.
and that his rsys are bent by the esrth'f
atmosphere In such way IS to converge
