AGE OF ORANGE TREEs.-The great
age to which the orange tree lives and
bears is an important consideration for
the colonist, who might, by little
self denial, and judicious first selection
and expenditure upon an orange grove,
virtually endow his posterity with an
annually increased income. Risso, in
the work alluded to mentions that in
the Convent of st. Sabina, at Rome,
there is an orange tree said to be 600
years old, and at Nice, 1880, there was
another which usually bore between
5000 and 5000 oranges its trunk
took two men to encircle it, its crown
was more than so feet from the ground,
and its age was lost in antiquity. Even
in England, orange rearing, during a
considerable part of the year in the
open air, has not been attended with
much difficulty, as witness the Bed
diDgton orchard in Surrey, of which
Bishop Gibson, in his contributions to
Camdens Britannia, says it "was one
hundred years old in 1695" the
Hampton Court orange trees, some of
which are stated to be more than 800
years old, and various gardens in
South Devonshire, where, trained
against the walls, and only protected
with straw mats during winter, are
specimens which have fourished for at
least century.-Chan,bers Journal.

The Kilkenny Cat Story.

The story has been SO long current
that it has become proverb, "As
quarrelsome as the Kilkenny cats,
two of the cats in which city are as.
serted to have fought so long and so
furiously that nought was found of
them but two tails The correct ver-
sion of this saying is this;
Daring the rebellion which occurred
in Ireland in 1898, Kilkenny was gar
rsoned by regiment of Hessian sol
diers, whose custom it was to tie to-
gether in one of their barrack-rooms
two cats by their respective tails, and
then throw them face to face across
line generally used for drying clothes.
The cats naturally became infuriated,
and scratched each other in the abdo.
men until death eDsued to one or both
of them. The officers were made ac-
quainted with the barbarous acts of
cruelty, and resolved to put an end to
them, For this purpose an officer was
ordered TO inspect each barrack room
daily and report its state. The soldiers
determined not to lose the daily torture
of the cats, generally employed one of
their comrades to watch the
approach of the officer. On one
occasion he neglected his duty, and the
officer was heard ascending the stairs
while the cats were undergoing their
customary torture. Ore of the troop
ers seized sword from the arm-rack,
AMI with single blow divided the
tails of the cats. The cats escaped
through the open windows of the room
which was entered instantly afterward
by the officer, who inquired what was
the cause of the bleeding cats tails
being suspended on the line, and was
told in reply that "two cats had been
fighting in the room that it was found
impossible to separate them, and they
fought so desperately that they had de.
voured each other with the exception
of their two tails. .'-B0ston Herald.
