Different, Very



Charles Lamb was once invited by an
old friend to meet an author who had
just published Il volume of poems.
When he arrived, being somewhat early,
he was asked by his host to look over
the volume of the expected visitor A
few minutes convinced Lamb that it
possessed little merit, being a feeble
echo of different authors.
This opinion was fully confirmed by
the appearance of the gentleman him
self, whose self cOnceit and confidence
in his own book We're so manifest as to
awaken in Lamb his spirit of mischiev-
Gus wagSery. His tenacious memory
enabled him during the dinner to quote
fuently several passages from the pre-
tenders volume, with the introduction,
"This reminds me of some verses | wrote
when l was very young
When this had happened several times,
the real author of the lines quoted looked
ready to burst with suppressed indigna-
ton. At last, as a climax to the fun,
Lamb coolly quoted the well known
opening lines to Paradise Lost" as writ
ten by himself.
This was too much for the versemon-
ger. He Immediately rose and with an
impressive solemnity of manner address
ed the claimant to so many poetical hon
ors.
''Sir," he said, Il have tamely sub
mitted all this evening to hear you claim
the merit that may belong to any little
poems of my own-this 1 have borne IN
silence-but, sir, l never will sit quietly
by and see the immortal Milton robbed
of Paradise Lost" -Youth's Compan-

BARREN APPLE TREES.

Apple trees that grow in manured
and cultivated soil run mostly 10 wood
and yield no fruit. Too rich a soil is
not desirable for an orchard, and the
best orchards are found on fairly
good limestone gravel that is we'll
drained. When the land has been
made too rich, root pruning is advis-
able. This is done by digging trench
around the tree in the winter or late
full, three feet deep. and cutting the
roots at a distance Of twelve feet or SO
from the tree. The trench may be
filled with poor soil, which will check
the growth Of wood and tend to the
production of fruit buds Rather close
pruning in the spring, just as the buds
are swelling, will have the same ten
dency. This checks the growth .oi
leaf and turns the sap into the rem ain
ing branches, aud fruit buds are thus
formed that will yield the next year.
A dressing of half bushel of lime,
air Stacked, spreal about each tree,
will be useful to encourage f.uit
growth. New York Times

BREEDING AND FEEDING SHEEP.

From an address. on "Principles in
Feeding and Breeding Sheep" given
before the students OF the School OF
Agriculture, of the Ohio State Univer.
sity. by Professor Hickman of the
Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station.
the following summary is made:
It does not seem practicable to pro
.duce the highest grade Of wool anlthe
finest quality OF mutton from tn; same
flock.
While it is possible to obtain both
these products from the same flock,
either one or the other will be of in.
ferior quality.
The production of superior quality
Of mutton from the merino is not
practicable.
The breeder, if fully qualified for
his business, can breed to suit his
fancy. The sire is the more i'm mportant
factor in breeding and should be the
production of the most careful breed
ing for series of years; he should
have all the qualifications of model
possible to unite in one anina,.
The dam must have, first of all, q
good, strong constitution, next docile
disposition, and finally the power Oh
transmitting these to her progeny to a
marked degree. The production Of a
Cross breed cannot be relied on for re-
producing fixed type.
The ram In all cases must have the
best of care at breeding time. hus-
banding his strength and requiring OF
him the least possible exertion.
The ewes at breeding time should
not be in high, flesh. but in good thriv.
ing condition. Grain feeding should
be light until after the lambs have At.
rived.
Lambs should have feed other thar
that taken from the mother, after the
are Eve weeks old, aud should hav,
some grain feed throughout tho Hru
year.

Acquired Facial Expression.

Tho compressed lip so loved land 20

sign Of weakness rather than strength.
It tells of perpetual conflicts in which
the reserves are called into the fray.
The strong will is not agitated into
strenuous action by the small worries
of the hour, and tho great occasions
which call for its whole forces are too
few to produce q permanent impross
of this kind upon the features. The
commanding officer, assured OF his
mems obedience, does not habitunlly
keep his lip muscles in state of ton
sion. Look at the sea captain. the
most absolute monarch on earth. He
carries authority and power in his
face, but it resides in his eye and the
confident assurance Of his easily set
mouth. Every spar and shoft and
muscle in his doatids realm must obey
him, and he knows it. This is proba-
bly, q reason why tho sea captains and
the engine drivers show . certain
similarity of type The engine driver
can make his captive giant, strong as
ten thousand men, obey the pressure
OF his finger. His lips are usually
calm, like those of the statues of ths
wielder of thunder bolts on Olympus

The typical expressions of the mem
bers of those three liberal professions
which Sir Thomas Browne says are all
founded upon the fall OF Adam are
we'll enough rec ecognized to have been
long the prey OF the caricaturist. The
several distinctive traits of each, and
the possible causes which give rise to
them, are too complex to be deal,
within a single article. Speaking very
generally, the cleric's face is indics'
tive Of authority (of the thin-lipped
kind) and of dignified sense of the
sanctity of his Office. The doctor
