! at All-SOuls' College. Oxford. ALL
Souls is 4 curious college. 1t has no
students or undergraduates" as We
call them in England. 1t consists of a
master and number of bellows

have distinguished themselves as schoI-
ars. There is quaint old rule in
Latin that says man, to be fellow of

dressed. and moderately good doctor
in singing" There is no question
nowadays of singing, But of good
breeding and good scholarship there is.
And to be elected Il fellow of All-Souls'
is 4 greaC honor.
One Of the most distinguished fell
lows is Prot. Max Muller, the great
philOlOgist, who, though he is 4 Ger

Oxford, was elected to All-SOul's rs Il

giving a luncheon in this splendid room
to the charming and talented Princess
Alice, the wife OF the Grand Duke of
Hesse Darmstadt. and second daughter
of Queen Victoria. There were not a
dozen guests besides the Princess and
her husband, and veIy agreeable lun-
cheon we had, with pleasant talk on all;

But what excited the curiosity of all

filed to the brim with the famous ale
brewed in the college. These, we were
told, were tumblers. and we were
speedily shown how they came by theis
names-a fitting lesson for the guestS-
of philologist! When one Of these
little bowls was empty it was placed.
upon the table mouth downward. In
stantly, so perfect was its balance, it
flew back into its proper position, as if
asking to be filed again. No matter
low it was treated, trundled along the
floor, balanced carefully on its side,
dropped suddenly upon the soft. thick
carpet, up it rolled again and settled
itself with few gentle shakings and
swaying into its place, like one of those

then was the origin of our word tum-

All-Souls' tumblers. Then, when glass
became common. the round glasses

exquisitely balanced silver spheres and
stole their names so successfully that

CAPACITY OF FARMS.
A Subject Which should be Carefully

A Subject Which Should be Carefully
Studied by AsrIcuIturists.
Every farmer should study the Ca
pacitv of his farm, so az to be able to
turn its resources to the best account.
Some farms are naturally adapted to
grass production. and can be made to
produce heavy CROPS Of hay yearly for
a long time. Other farms soon run ont
when seeded to grass. but are good for
cropping. On such farms large area
should be ploughed yearly, cropped
and fortified. and seeded down. For
Il few years good crops of grass can be
obtained, aud then the land needs re-
seeding. The aim on such farms
should be to have from One-third to
onc-half of the tillage under the pillow
all the time, 50 that the grass land Will
all be newly seeded, and the farmer
will be able to re-plow rs soon as the
grass begins to run out.
Then there are farms that are rocky
and rough. The soil is stony and fer
tile, but is not adapted to cultivation.
Apple-trees, perhaps' VIII thrive with
remarkable vigor on such land. and the
farmer should accept the Indication.
and plant it to apple-trees until he has
all he can take care of. A man in East
Winthrop, Me-, had n farm of that
character. l. was of little value for
tillage, but he found that the Roxbury
russell throve remarkably well. and pro-
duced excellent fruit. He ''tOok the
hint" and set his farm largely to Rox-
bury russell trees until nearly thirty
acres were covered. Now. in some
wears. he sells $1,000 worth Of fruit.
He has made . rocky and almost worth
less farm one of the most valuable in
town. simply because he used it for the
purpose to which it was best adapted
That is what the farmer should try TO
do; study the capabilities OF his farm,
and then try SO 10 manage it that he
will draw out of it the best that it is
capable of affording. 1t will not do to
manage farms all in one way. on ac-
count OF the great diversity in soils and
physical conditions. ". T. En-

Ladies in Modern Novels.


Ladies in Modern Novels.
By the end of the winter YOU will
find that the heroines of all the society
novels, especially those which come
out in the fashion magazines, will
have adopted the regal style of walk.
At present they are in sadly unset
tied condition. Sometimes they Gun
dulate," oftener they stride, and oc-
casionally they drift" 1t must be Il
great comfort to these young woman
when the style of walk for thu season
is definitely settled upon.
in the higher class of novels don't
know whether the herones have more
usually followed or set the fashions
in movement. Charles Reade's supple,
swan-like, swimming, gliding women
are said to have had at one time 4
marked influence upon the carriage of
certain London clique. and Thack-
eray's namby-pamby Amelias and
Rosys who ''futtered into the room
and nestled upon Georges shoulder"
had their followers.
Miss Burney's Eyalincs and Cecilias,
like the ultra fine ladies of Queen
Charlotte's court, were given to ''sink-
ing" upon chairs and casting them
selves about promiscuously, and Miss
Austcn's and Miss Edgeworth's hero
ines invariably entered the apart
ment' and ''seated" themselves
usually upon the ''settee" with all the
primness of their day.
Miss Young's intensely proper
maidcns moved quietly and sedately;
Miss Braddon's less immaculate ones
began twenty years ago by ''sweep-
ing" into the presence of the Beloved
Object; now they either dash or
dart" upon him. 1t is reserved for
the young women portrayed by the
Duchess to dawn upon the after
noon tea-tablc, to '.foat" into the

What Young Man Accomplished in the
Course of Three Weeks.


When l first went into the newspa-
per business-immediately upon grad
uating from college, considered it
an event of such importance that l re-
solved to keep a daily record of my do
lngs, in order that the magnitude of
the enterprises l expected to under
take might be duly impressed upon my
consciousness, and that the recounting
of them might serve in after years,
possibly, TO fire some other ardent
soul with kindred aspirations. will
remark here that my journal extended
over period Of three weeks. The fol-
lowing are some random extracts:
March 27.-Reported this morning

covered with scraps of paper and de-
molished exchanges. Was introduced
to the managing editor, who stood at

him no, but l could write a crack cd

reported any thing. Said l had never
reported any thing but "unprepared. "
That's the most encoura ging indica-
ton of ability yet" said he. .'You

March 29.-Submitted my first edit
orial this afternoon. Managing editor
glanced at first page and threw it IN
the basket. Said that there was new
gravel car at the B. & L. depot, which
l might write up. Gave me line to
the master mechanic. l made six
pages foolscap of it. Editor made me
cut it down to three lines. The news
paper business is fraud.

day. Took full notes of all the testi-
mony. Case. stealing of box OF

elaborate obituary of D. G. Rossetti
