Two Kinds of Pears.

1t is remarkable that although new

is not a pear yet that has been able to
take the place of the Bartlett or the
Seckel. The Bartlett is European sort.

stands and bears fruit.
The Bartlett is i'll season throughout
September. the Seckel from the close of
September aud through October. These
two kinds are no exception To the rule
that the quality Of all pears increases in
value as the trees get older The fruit
from full grown Scckel pear tree. for

The smallest fee ever taken by an Eng
lish counsel was sixpence. that fee hav-
ing on one occasion been taken by the
late Sir John Holker. Barristers' fees
were in olden times much less than
those now paid. An entry occurs in the
church wardens' accounts of st. Mar
garet's, Westminster. for 1876. showing
that a fee of three shillings and eight
pence. with fourpence for his dinner.
was paid to Robert Fylpott. counsel.

was stated to I've an angel. or ten shil-
