BOOKS AND AUTHORS.

Quo Vadis" is going into an ''edition de luxe'' to celebrate the completion of it's first year in translation.
 The London World is authority for the statement that MT. Rudyard Kip ling has been cycling in Dorsetshire with MT. Thomas Hardy and is nego- tiating for the purchase of a house and grounds at Rodwell, near Dorchester. MT. Kipling has recently broken his poem White Horses" wh ch was writ ten for the first number of Literature, he was paid one dollar a word.
 Mime. Schumann left behind her when she died 50 volumes of her diary. This is now being edited by her daughter Marie, who is living in Vienna. It will be of great interest, especially to the musical world, for Mme Schumann was a wonderfully strong and interesting character and had lived life full of incident and color. In her diary each one of her numerous pupils is men, toned by name.
 Although Louis Becke's South sea stories give to his readers so much en- joyment, the author himself is said to take small pleasure in their compost ton, requiring constant urging on the part of MT. J. F. Archibald, editor of the Australian Bulletin, to keep up his Contributions to that paper, in which most of his writings first appear. Mir. Becke was a sailor and trader before he was an author, and is now going to drop literature, at least temporarily, and after his English sojourn go back to his beloved islands in his old occu- patton of supercargo.

THOSE WHO WRITE.

Gertrude Atherton is at Rouen, where she will spend the winter. She is now en- gagged on a novel dealing with interna- tional marriages and is to have large royalty besides the large sum in advance she has already received.
 Dr. Edward Everett Hale says that GOO words of any language are all that are necessary for communication. Eu- ropean couriers do not possess more knowledge than this and while it repre- sents the minimum of human intelli- gence it is sufficient for the transference of thought.
 Michel Angelo has left private cor respondence which is shortly to be puib- lished. It is reported that 600 docu- ments have been arranged in chrono- logical order and added to the letters written by Michel Angelo to popes, princes, artists and men of letters. It will be interesting to see whether these letters throw any new light on the re- lations between Michel Angelo and Raphael Sanzio.
 William D. Towels has just returned from abroad, where he has been since July in pursuit of health. Germany in- terested him, though he found the climate terrible and felt oppressed by the military atmosphere. During his absence he completed novel and will soon begin another, the notes for which he collected during his trip. The scenes will be laid abroad but the characters will be American.

cribe but nevertheless rsal thing
 quality" Lincolas are perfec-
 their covering. Dorsess, under
 Ierican breeders hands, are losing
 dropping shoulders and covering
 e legs and heads with wool, and so
 every breed whose breeders are Thinking men there is constant revo- Tuition and I cannot see but each breed improves along the lines in which improvement is most needed.
 Some breeders, of course, achieve much greater success than othels; this is but natural, as all improve ment is the work of the imagination i; the breeder must see in his minds eye the perfect sheep, then he must call his abilities to work to bring his flock toward the ideal. It will never surpass his ideal, rest assured of that.
 With the introduction of mutton breeds of sheep should have come the introduction of appropriate foods. At first it was attempted to grow these sheep on the rather scanty and un- nutritious foods heretofore given the Merino flocks, and this usually re- suited in failure with the sheep, more or less complete. Of late, however, the American shepherd has brought to his aid several plants that are of easy culture and that very much as sist him in keeping his flock growing and healthy. Perhaps foremost among these plants is rape. Rape belongs 10 the family of which the cabbage is a member. It is a biennial plant with many fleshy leaves looking like ruta- baga turnip tops and tasting much like cabbage leaves. It is of the easi- est possible culture, given soil rich in humus or we'll manured and not too dry a season. It may be sOwn early in the spring or at any time during summer until August, all though the most practical way is to SOW it in corn at the time of last cultivation. Sown then, it will, if the season is not too dry, make very good growth by the time the corn is cut, when it may be fed off the land or cut and carried to the sheep. Rape, if not pastured when frozen, will endure until about Christmas and will keep the flock in splendid condl- tion and excellent heart. Some dry food should generally be fed at the same time, and a little grain is advis- able. The amount of rape that can be grown on an acre is very great, and there is no food that is better relished by sheep or that puts a healthier bloom on lot of lambs than rape with oats. The use of oats as a grain food is not, Of course, new, but the use of the oat plant as a green food or cured fodder is not SO well known as it deserves. Oats, drilled in rather thickly, with peas added in northern sections with clover along the parallel of 40 degrees, serves an admirable purpose either when fed off by pasturage or when cut and car ried to the sheep. Sheep are not only very fond of the oat herbage, but they thrive admirably on it. Should the season be fairly moist, the oats will endure nearly all summer unless struck by rust during the heat ed term. But oat hay, cut early, when in bloom if possible, and we'll cured, is one of the best things that have come to the shepherd of late years. Particularly is the oat hay suitable to the feeding of ewes during

SUIT AGAINST SURGEONS.
$10,000 Damages Wanted by an Elmer

Washington, Jan 24.-A suit at law was instituted this afternoon by Anne B. W. Frazer, who seeks to recover $10,0OO as damages from Barnes A. Hooe, Arthur Snyder, Lawrence M. Turner and the Central Dispensary and Emergency hospital.
 The claim is that the plaintiff broke the bones in her wrist and that the doctors treated her for a sprain, and that they treated the broken bone. AS a result it is declared she has perma- nently lost the use of the wrist and arm

winter, furnishing them nutri .ous and sufficiently bulky food to keep them in good health. It should be noted also that when oats and clover are sown together, and the cats de- pastrmed when not more than twelve inches tall, the stand of clover is thereby assured, unless the sheep are allowed to run continuously on the fisld, when they will injure the clo- yer The firming of the land by their feet seems particularly good for the young clover, and is also the renewal of the oats to let in sun and give the clover roots chance to take par tial possession of the soil.
 Alfalfa is another old plant that has been neglected and all but for gotten until recent years. In Ger many, France and England Gu cerne" has long been famed as the very most productive, nutritious and profitable legume that could be grown But we could not learn the culture of lucerne, for some reason or an- other. When our western brothers began to grow millions of toas of al- falfa we commenced to open our eyes and look about us to see if this plant could not be Of service to us through out the entire east. And now we know that we can grow alfalfa, or lucerne Ghey are the same plant,) not as we'll as it, is grown on the deep, rich soils of the arid region, but bet ter than we can grow any other sow age crop throughout all the more fertile part of the eastern and middle states. That climate cuts no figure with alfalfa is shown by the thriving fields of it seen in On tarso, Canada, in Texas, Louisiana and Mexico.
 What alfalfa needs and must have is fertile soil, not soil of average fer tility, but soil that is rich. Next, it must have soil on which water never stands winter or summer, and in the sub-soil of which water does not stand nearer than three or four feet from the surface. Given this soil, and the rest is mere detail of getting good western grown seed, of fitting we'll the land and sowing fifteen pounds per acre, of clipping three or four times the first year to subdue weeds and invigorate the plants, of moving early and moving often the second year and thereafter, so that the plants may not become woody. Sheep thrive on alfalfa as they do on no other forage plant, and an acre of good alfalfa will support more sheep hhan an acre of any other crop that may be grown. It is almost never safe to repasture alfalfa with sheep, owing to danger from bloat. When cut and fed green, however, it seems to have no usch effect, principally because then the stems are eaten with the leaves, and thus there is less of the succulent tops and leaves proportionately in the stomach. For winter feeding of ewes or lambs or for ewes that are giving milk there is no comparison between alfalfa and any other forage crop unless it be red clover.

They ase then buried, standing upright,
in moist (not wet) earth, in a dark,
