the loan of one Of Piato's skulls to ex-
hibit before his class. The Lime Kiln

three of the genuine skulls of this
great philosopher, and had the regular
keeper of the museum been In his
place q bride of So, 600 would not
have tempted him to let one OF the
sacred relics ont of his sight.
Bat Brother Watson allowed the
stranger to take orc of the skullr
away without a thought of deceit, and
no trace of 1t has since been found.
Brother Watson was finel ~, 600, and
Q reward Of $500 was offered for the

to suggest . compromise. There were
only four copies of Benjamin Frank

1t is the observation of the St. Louis
Journal of agriculture and Farmer that
the greater part of the soil of England
has been under cultivation for thousand
years, and yet the land is richer and the
crops more prolific than they were a
thousand years ago. Why, then, should
so many thousands of acres in many Sec
ton of this country have become SO
greatly deteriorated in productiveness in
a comparatively few years? Careless
and unskilled culture must necessarily
be the answer"

The Sheep Of Thibet.

The sheep of Thibet, which are very
numerous, are chiefly small variety of
the fat-rumped Persian and Abyssinian,
with black heads and necks. Some are
hairy, with short wool underneath, while
others bear a long, soft and fine wool.
1t is from the latter that many of the
costly Indian shawls are made. Not a
little of this peculiar wool finds it way to
British India, and is there manufactured
This breed is found in its purest state in
the deserts of Great Tartary; no other
variety being near to contaminate its
blood. 1t reaches far into the interior
and northern parts of Russia and is
much disseminated in China, Persia,
Hindostan, Asia Minor and eastern At
RIGA as well as Thibet. In Palestine it is
more numerous than any other Breed
indeed the largestproportion of the sheep
of northern Asia being of this descrip-
ton. Professor Pallas con lectures that
this character arises in the fat-rumped
sheep from their feeding upon the bitter
and saline plants found upon the borders
of the Caspian and Black seas. And
he asserts that when they are
removed from the places where
these plants grow the fatty excrescence
becomes less. But Garfield says, as
the fat-rnmped and fat-tailed sheep are
varieties which are widely dispersed, it
seems more probable that they may have
been produced by accident, and may
also have -perpetuated by accident,
design or fancy. The fat-tailed sheep is
very extensively diffused; it is found
throughout Asia and great part of At
RIGA, as well as through the northern
parts of Europe. They differ, like other
sheep, in the nature of their covering. In
Madagascar, and in some other hot eli
mates, they are hair; at the Cape of Good
Hope they are covered with coarse wool;
in the Levant their wool is extremely
fine. The proportion which the weight
of the tail in some of these sheep bears
to the whole caIcase is quite remarkable.
The usual dressed weight of the sheep
is from fifty to sixty pounds, of which
the tail is said to make more than one
fourth part. Russell describes two breeds
offat-tailed sheep about Aleppo; in one
the deposit of caudal fat is moderate, in
the other sort the tail is much larger
The unctuous fat of the tails of these
sheep is accounted great delicacy alike
by the Beers and the Hottentots of south
ern Africa. The Hottentots, in their
primitive condition. possessed immense
flocks and pursued the pastoral arts with
great success. DR.. Mitchell.

Xantippe.

The typical shrew in every age has
been Xantippe the unfortunate wife of
Socrates. She is pictured as brawling,
scolding woman, following the philoso-
pher to the market-place' and ordering
him home, and sometimes even drag
ging him by the cloak in order to give
force to her arguments. She is COM
monty understood to have been liberal,
even to prodigality, in the use of her
tongue, by no means scrupulous in point
of broomstick and irewood, and when
the occasion seemed to demand, she had
little hesitation in using a bucket of
dirty water, which she kept handy for
emergencies. Socrates thoroughly un-
derstood these pe-uliarities of his ex-
cellent wife, and thought none the less
of her on account of them, but some of
his friends, who saw her faults without
approaching her good qualities, have
represented her in the most un-
available colors. The truth was
that Socrates was so much of a
talker that he often neglected to
provide for his family, and Xantippe,
being most estimable housewife, re-
sented his forgetfulness by the only
means in her power. No doubt she had
her trials. The old philosopher, in his
search after the ''Unknowable," often
put on his cloak after breakfast and went
down town to meet his friends, entirely
oblivious of the fact that the wood had
not been cut and that Xantippe had told
him to bring home the loaves and the
roast in time for dinner. The dinner
hour would pass unnoticed, while the
''True, Beautiful and Good" was the
subject under discussion, and late in the
afternoon here would come old Socrates
and gang of his fashionable compan-
ions, whom he had invited to dinner with
not stick of wood cut and not thing
in the house fit to eat. No doubt Kan
tippe demonstrated many time, but the
old fellow always tried to comfort her
with the sentiment: eff they are worthy
men, that cold hash and those biscuits
left from breakfast will satisfy them. If
they are upstairs, such fare is good
enough for them" This was no doubt
true enough, but like great many
truths, perfectly unsatisfactory, and
there is some reason to excuse Kan
tippe's violence when so thin a dodge
was resorted to for the hundredth time.

How to Protect Against the Cold.

How to stay at home in the winter ana
be well. is no less important than 10
know where to go to be better. All that
might be said of the importance OF out
door air and clothing for adults, who are
supposed to know how to dress them
selves for protection, and of .domiciliary
conditions, is implied in the directions
previously given for invalids. But the
greatest sufferers are children-those
who do not know how to care for them
selves, and unfortunately, often the sub
ieet of mothers and nurses who seem
not to know how to care for them. How
to dress a child for the winter to be
healthy is commonly sacrificed to the
esthetics of exposure without regard to
weather. Hence we venture the follow
ing suggestions, equally suitable for
either sex, with the certainty OF not
offending those who have no need OF
them, for the benefit OF those who
have. Flannel shirt, all wool, loose,
both in texture and fit; long sleeves and
high neck; two pairs of drawers, the
under ones of same material as shirt,
long enough to reach the top of boots

The second pair of drawers may be OF
thick Canton flannel, or wool, gathered
at the knees; waist OF under-jacket o.
the same material. Thick, wide-solec
boots, not tight at the ankle, and witt
heels not more than half an inch high
for children under three years of age ne
heels. Outside clothing, including nit
tens, should also be made of loose wooler
material, and fitted loosely. Thus
dressed, and with a warm hat on the
head-not tied behind it-with ear-cov
ers, children may be safely permitted tt
go out without the risk of catching {
