Joe Jefferson told this story: David
Garrick and Spranger Barry were both
playing Romeo at the same time in
London. Barry played 1t at Drury
Lane on the Monday and Garrick play
ed it the next night at Covent Garden,
and the town was divided as to which
was the greater Romeo-in fact there
was quite a great excitement about it,
and they acted it upon such different
lines and with such marvelously differ
ent conceptions that the people argued
the case as to which Shapespeare in
tended. The fact is that Shakespeare
intended 1t to be acted well, and If
one mans temperament suited it best
to act In that way it would do for an
other temperament the other way.
$50 they asked Mrs. Siddons, who
was the Juliet alternately with the
same Romeo, which she considered bet
ter of the two, and she said: 1t is diff
cult to say; they are both wonderfully
great. but l will tell you how they
impress me in the balcony scene. In
the balcony scene Garrick seems SO
eager, so intense and so full of fire and
spirit that I'm afraid he'll jump up in
the balcony to me, and Barry is so low
able and fascinating that I'm afraid l
shall have to jump down from the bal
eony to him.

Mr. William Hawley Smith, in his
walks and Talks" tells OF a remark
made by an Irish friend which might
be applicable in many cases;
He used to be very fond Of hearing
the bishop preach and always went to
service when that dignitary held forth.
l met him on the street one Sunday
when knew the bishop was preaching
and asked him why he wasn't in his
pew, to which he replied:
'erroth, don't go to hear the bishop
ony more"
why, what's the matter7'' said.
"You haven't gone back on good
man. have your
No." he answered. but it's the
truth Pm tellin you, when you've heard
the bishop a half dozen times all after
that Is yariations!'

Perhaps the record for school attend
ance belongs to a Walworth lad named
Thomas Ward. who was never absent
or late during his II years Of school
life, beginning with his fourth year.
The local member of the school board
for London tells the story that when
the proud boy received the attendance
medal for the eleventh year, which
had to be specially struck to meet his
case, the mother was questioned as to
how her boy had been able to make
so remarkable a record.

snheeIIarn on the Farm.

1t may be that the subcellar will
play an important part on the farm
of the future. Its advantages thus
far have been appreciated chiefly by
progressive dairymen. but 1t seems not
unlikely that other methods of utiliz-
ing the earth zone of thermal equilib-
rum may reveal themselves. Farm,
Field and Fireside says:
From u to 10 feet below the surface
of the ground begins the zone where
the temperature is practically the same
the year round. this temperature for
the northern part of Illinois being
about 80 degrees. This is cold enough
to keep dairy products in perfect
state for a reasonable length of time.
The farmer who has a good, deep cell
lar may reach this zone by means Of
a subcellar of small dimensions. The
problems of construction are no greater
than those that arise in the construc
ton of a water tight cistern. The sub
cellar must be made properly and
faced with cement of sufficient quality
to exclude the water of the ground in
the wet season. It's dimensions Will
correspond to the requirements of the
dairyman.
A subcellar five feet square is ample
for ordinary use, and some are being
constructed that are less than four feet
square at the top. Such cellars not
only serve to keep the finished dairy
products in a perfect condition, but are
also valuable for the cooling of the
ripened cream previous to churning.
The time to construct such cellars is
midsummer, when the ground is least
likely TO be saturated with water.

N Tremendous Impetus.
Caricature Is nowadays one of the
principal methods OF criticism. No
movement can oyerreach the mark
without eliciting dozens of works of
art from caricaturists all over this and
all other countries.
This branch of criticism and attack
dates far back. but the greatest inn
pulse 1t ever felt came from the age
of tremendous speculation. when, in
1719 and 1870. John Law was manipu-
lating things financial IN France. New
err before had the financial world been
so carried off its feet as 1t was at that
time. Members of the nobility were
waiting for a chance to purchase
shares Ia Laws schemes. Duchesses
and ladies of high renown tried their
most persuasive charms on Law in the
attempt to get hold of shares. Men
hired out their backs for writing desks,
so great was the press of business in
making contracts, and one hunchback

schemes to become wealthy. Natural
ly the papers of the time, especially
those of Holland. caricatured the state
of affairs. There were pictures of all
sorts. caricaturirg Law, the nobility,
the schemes and everything connected
with them.
1t was this tremendous amount of
pictorial work that first directed the
energies of William Hogarth, in Lon
don. in this direction. Caricaturing
began to be used more and more in the
political field, and soon afterward 1t
caused the shelving of Robert Walpole
from the English ministry. Ever since
then has caricaturing been one of the
bitterest and most effectual methods of
checking public men and their
schemes

Remarkable Facts About Acid Soil.

heEnAE hka 01G EuEI8 ABOUT AC10 SOIL
Within the last few years the sub
ject of acid soils has been brought to
the attention of farmers. The New
York station has made 1S6 tests of soil
In different parts of the state. The
tests were made by leaving blue litmus
paper in contact with the moist soil for
five minutes. The presence of acid In
the soil would be indicated by a red
dening of the paper. One hundred and
sixty Of these tests indicated the pres
ence Of considerable acidity. General
ly the most acid soils were found TO be
uplands. usually sandy or light clay
loans and especially soils undertake
with hardpan. In several cases low iy-
ing, wet, muck soils were tested and
were found to be free from acid
Acid soils must not always be assoCI-
ated with poor crops. Some acid soils
produce very poor crops, others luxu-
rIant crops The most thrifty cornfeld
seen during the season was growing on
very acid or sour soil. The same was
also true with potatoes. Experiments
show that both corn and potatoes are
not affected by acid In the soil Pota-
toes grown on acid soil were better,
smoother less scabby and diseased
than those grown on soil not acid
Many clover fields were tested, and
most-of them showed acid, but usually
the best fields would have the least
acidity. Generally common plantain
and sorrel would be sure indications Of
free acid in the soil.
