A NEW pitfsll has been placed in the
path of unwary newspaper editors.
From the records ofa trial which has
just taken place in the Court of Queens
Bench, London, it would appear that
there are person depraved enough to
pen libellous statements about them
selves, and then to get an unsuspecting
newspaper man to publish them in his
paper. This raises a nice point in law.
For it does not follow that because a
man makes q statement about himself
he cannot suffer any injury by its pub
LEGATION. Dogberry babe the clerk of
the court to write him down an ass, but
this does not free Mr.. William Shaks-
peare from legal reproach and liability
for giving currency to the statement.
In the caseof the London trial referred
to above the jury was discharged be-
cause they were unable to agree as to
whether the editor of the newspaper or
the writer of the paragraph was the
person to he visited with punishment.
The latter would verge on the ridiculous.
For there is something exquisitely Gill
pertain abont the notion of q man be-
ing condemned to pay damages to him.
self for having DETAINED his own charac-
ter, or being sentenced to expiate by q
term of imprisonment his criminal libel
of his own personality.

a New Seeding Apple.

Among the Seeding apples to which
our attention has recently been called is
Carrs Surprise. lIr. L. j. Carr, w.
hampstead. n. H., with whom it oriei-
mated. sends the following history and
description:
About twenty years ago l noticed n
small apple tree growing in the field
near n stone fence. 1t Was from four to
six feet high. AS il was not in the way
of cultivating the field, I paid no atten-
ton to it till it commenced bearing
fruit about eight years ago. The apples
are large; in shape they resemble the
Blue Pearmain, but, whilethe Pearmain
is pleasant TO the taste, Carr's Surprise
is rather our or sub-acid and IN excel
lent cooking apple. The flesh of the
apple is tinted with red: hence the name.
1t is an annual bearer and enormously
productive. In 1855 the tree hore about
ten barrels Of apples. The tree was
loaded with beautiful apples, many of
the branches bending to the ground and
forming the grandest sight I ever be-
held.
As q keeping apple 1t is unsurpassed.
1 have kept them in good condition till
midsummer. Tie tree is Of beautiful
shape, vigorous aud hardy. In this re.
spect it surpasses the Baldwin. I ex.
hibited six specimens of Cars Surprise
apples ut the New Hampshire State Fair
in 1889, and was awarded a special pre-
mium.

An experienced shoer claims, in the
New York Tribune, that most ill.shaped
feet were SO the first time the horse was
takent to the shop. Several i'll his town
have the feet of their colts trimmed
every few months until they are shod.
and he never saw an imperfect foot OIL
one of them. Colts IRE born with per-
run on the ground constantly, and if
they did, their hoofs would wear AWAY
evenly; but, instead, they are kept in
doors five months of the year; the hoofs
become long and break of in pieces from
time totime.
II a considerable piece breaks off at
the side, the foot runs over like an old.
boot, and the colt acquires the habit of
walking partially IN the side of the
foot, which is very difficult to remedy.
Sometimes both sides break off, leaving
the toe u~nnaturally long, thus throwing
more weight on the heels, causing them
to wear away faster than they should.
This produces fiat feet. The uneven
NAL natures cause s most of the imperfec-
tions in the feet of the horse, with the
resultant ringbones, spavins, curbs, and
other ailments. When o horse with q
bad foot comes to be shod, if it runs
over at the side, it should be levelled up
gradually at several succeeding shoe
ings. by making the shoe thicker Mt n
side and pairing down the hoof a little
the most on the opposite side.
If the feet are fiat the heel should be
left alone, and the toes cut as far back
as it will answer ut every shoeing. The
shoe should never bear on the sole of
the foot, but on the wall alone. If the
sole is low down and presents a convex
surface, as is often the case, the shoe
should either be made c~oncave, tomatch,
or very narrow to fit only on the horny
she'll. If the animal has contracted
feet the heels should be cut AWAY all it
will do, as we'll as the horn on the bot
tom of the foot, and the shoes should
DO bevelled out from the quarters back,
that the feet may have q tendency to
spread.
If the animal has ringbone or any
stiffness in the joint the toes should be
cut back. This rule applies also to
cases of SPAWN, thoroughpin, curbs, etc.
Bad feet in horses are generally trace
able to inattention by man. The feet of
colts should be attended to once in
three months, from the time they are
first stabbed in the fall until they reach
maturity, and then permanent good feet
will be assured. If agricultural societies
would employ a skillful man to shoe
horses at their fairs and give illustrative
lectures, they would accomplish more
good than they do now by some of their
transactions.

A SwEDE, Charles Peterson, had a
curious experience with a bald eagle
while going to work one morning near
Woodstock, in Windham County,
Conn.,. recently. He was trudging
along the New Boston County road.
when he saw q big, sleepy-looking bird
perched on a branch on an oak by the
roadside. To Peterson the bird
seemed as big as q condor. Il paid no
attention whatever to the Swede, who
walked up to the tree and with . club
knocked it off the branch, which was a
low one. With . second blow the
Swede killed the bird and took it home,
and . neighbor, . hunter, told him
that it was an American eagle. It's
wings measured six feet and six inches.

SENATOR LELAND STANFoRD's afec-
ton for his dead son does not seem to
have lost strength, even though several
years have passed since the young man
died. The Senator is never satisfied to
remain anywhere that he cannot have a
portrait Of his son on the wall of his
room. When he visits New York he
always stops at o certain hotel, and re-
quires the same apartment, because it
has been furnished with such a portrait
by himself. In the great Leland man
sion ct San Francisco half a dozen por-
traits of the dead boy hang from the
walls in as many different rooms, and
there are a profusion of similar like
nesses in the Senator's Washington
place of residence.

Cherry Trees in s,ru,, Form.

In n recent discussion before the Ne
braska horticultural Society the grow
ing of dwarf cherry trees was strongly
recommended. These are headed down
us low as eighteen inches from the sur
face of the ground, SO that the lower
limbs, when loaded, trail upon the sur
face. This low heading makes the fruit
much more easily gathered. With mulch
under these low limbs, it cffectually
prevents growth of grass and weeds, and
prevents deep freezing Of the soil.
About 227 trees are planted per acre, and

A BEAUTIFUL romance in real life
comes from Berlin. DR.. Pierce, o
young American physician, recently
wounded a German medical student in
a duel. The contest grew. out of the
fact that the hot-headed youths were
in love with their landlady's daughter.
In this prosaic age it is pleasant now
and then to come face to face with such
a sentimental episode. Our satisfac-
ton in this particular case is the greater
in that the American won the fight.
According to oil the laws of chivalry he
should now receive the hand of the
landlady's charming daughter.

Milkmen necessarily require very
early rising, as milk has to be delivered
before breakfast, often after being
brought two, three or four miles with
horse and wagon or sleigh, and through
all kinds of weather. There is also lust
about the same kind of work to bo done,
milking, feeding, and caring for cows,

bill to protect them may not be too late.
There III still some of the peculiar an

turned out on our Western plains and
vigorously protected, might thrive and
remain objects of curiosity and interest
for several years to come. There will

for them to over.
