YarIetIes of AppIes.

There are described by various writ
ers as having been at some time growing
In Amerlca-all OF which have hac
names given to them-some 2,00C
varieties of apples. As matter
OF fact, no apple comes from
seed exactly like its parent Every
Seeding apple has, therefore, an In
dividuality OF its own. 10 a greater or
less degree. The manner in which ma
ture affects this variation has never yet
been determined, though there Is rea,

much to do with 1t. At each rest nu.

In proportion 10 the duration OF these

what the Famous Litterateur Read when
He Was Youth In Pinafores.
The first books which vividly i'm.
pressed me were, naturally, fairy tales
and chapbooks about Robert Bruce,
William Wallace and Rob Roy. At
that time these little tracts could be
bought for penny apiece. | can still
see Bruce and Wallace in full armor,
discoursing across a burn. aud Rob Roy
slipping from the soldiers horse into
the stream. They did not then awaken
a precocious patriotism; a boy of five is
more at home in Fairyland than in his
own country
The sudden appearance of the White
Cat as queen, after her head was cut
of; the fendish malice of the Yellow
Dwarf; the strange cake of crocodile
eggs and millet seed which the mother
of the Princess Frutilla made for the
Fairy of the Desert-these things, all
fresh and astonishing, but certainly to
be credited, are my first memories of
romance.
One story of White Serpent, with a
woodcut Of that mysterious reptile,
neglected to secure, probably for want
of a penny, and | have regretted it
ever since One never sees those cheap
books now. "The White Serpent, in
spite of all research, remains introu
vable. 1t was a lost chance, and For
tune does not forgive.
Nobody ever interfered with these
or indeed with any other studies of
ours at that time, so long as they were
not prosecuted on Sundays. 1.-THE
iightingest parts Of the Bible, and the
Apocrypha, and stories like that of the
witch of Endor" were sabbatical lit
erature, read in a huge old illustrated
Bible. How | advanced froln the
fairy tales to Shakespeare, what stages
there were on the way-for there must
have been stages-is a thing that mem
ory cannot recover.
A nursery legend tells that was
wont to arrange six open books on six
chairs and go from one to the other,
perusing them by turn. No doubt
this was what people call "desultory
reading" but | did not hear the criti-
cism till later, and then too often for
my comfort. Andrew Lang in Scrih-
par's

IRISH ANTIQUITIES.
A Rare Relic Brought Up from tho Dot
tom of Tough Ernc.

A Rarc Kclic brought Up from tho BOT
tom of Lough Ernc.
During the progress of tho Tough
Ernc drainage works, says the Fer
managh ureland) Times, some rare and
interesting relics of bygone ages were
discovered, but these sink into insig-
niticancc when compared with recent
lind which was dredged by fishermen
accidentally from the bottom of tho
lower Ernc from depth of between
twenty and thirty feet from the surface
of the lake. This most interesting relic
has been secured by Mr.. Plunkctt, NJ
X. |. a., who intends reading u paper
descriptive of it before the ROYAL So
ciety of antiquities ut their meeting
next summer. This raro find is u very
ancient catckach or shrine seven inches
long and about six and half inches
high and four inches broad ut the base
Tho interior was carved out of ycw
wood and tho exterior is composed Of
bronze and beautifully decorated
There was small bronze box inside
the Shrine, which appeared to be her
metically scaled when perfect In this
the sacred object was deposited, which,
unfortunately, was either lost or de-
composed by the action of carbonic acid
i'll the water.
In shape the shrine resembles the
little stonc-roofcd churches or oratorics
which were erected between the seventh
and tenth centuries, and were contcrn-
poraneous with the building Of the
round towers The ridge of the roof of
the shrine is surmounted longitudinally
by billet of bronze, tho from. side Of
which is very artistically adorned with
various types of interlaced patterns,
which are displayed in sections There
are three raised bosses on the front of
this housc-shapcd shrinc-a large one
situated on the roof and two smaller
ones on the front. The one on the roof
is composed of bronco and circular in
form, with an amber bead in the center,
which is surrounded with exuuisitely
designed and delicately formed inter-
lacinS. There were several smaller
amber and glass beads inlaid or in
serted here and there in the bronco
ornaments in order to embcllish the in
tcrlacing. In the two bronze intcrlaccd
ornaments, on the ends of the shrine,
were inserted two beads of translucent
glass. From the style of art displayed
in the ornamcntation of this very inter
esting rcliquary, it cannot be older than
the ninth, and certainly not later than
the eleventh century.
