Newton's Apple Tree.

1t is impossible to say at this late
day how true or how false is the old
story about Newton's apple tree at
Woolsthorpe. from which he is sup
posed to have seen the fall of the
apple which gave him his FIRST thought
of the attraction of gravity. Voltaire
is the authority for the wellknown
story. He claims that the story was
told to him by Catherine Barton. New
toms niece. How much truth there
may be in the tale will never be
known. but It seems to be certain that
tradition marked tree as that from
which the famous apple fell till 1890.

GOOD TIMES OF THE PAST
Peddler Laments Fact That Easy Liv-
ing Has for Him Been Left
Far Behind.

He came towards me over a shout
old man with back bent beneath the
weight of the pack he carried. There
was a square box strapped to his
shoulders in military fashion and
large satchel hung beneath his arm.
In one hand he bore a basket, in the
other large umbrella.
He seemed to be nursing a griev-
ance, for there was an indignant
scowl athwart his weather-beaten. red
good-humored face, and the little
white whiskers about his ears seemed
positively to bristle with annoyance.
"Mornin', mister" he remarked.
'She"-with a wave of his arm towards
a distant cottage-"she called me a
awker!"
ooh, indeed?" said I, rather at fault,
for a hawker was exactly what I took
him to be.
"A 'awker!" he repeated, as one
who strives against incredulity. "And
me a peddler. with my father ped
dler afore me, and is father afore
im!"
"But what is the exact difference
between a hawker and a peddler?"
asked.
"All the difference!" he snapped.
"Why, I'm known as a peddler in
Almost every South Down village be-
tween ere and Eastbourne. l covers

Health a Factor in Success.

The largest factor contributing to a
mans success is undoubtedly health.

UnfavorabIe Soils.

Clay soils are unfayorable TO vege-
tation because the soil is too close and
adhesive to allow the free passage OF
air or water to the roots of the plants.
1t also obstructs the expansion OF the
fibers of the roots. Sandy soils are
unfavorayle because they consist of
particles that have too little adhesion
to each other. They do not retain
sufficient moisture for the nourish-
ment of the plants. They allow too
much solar heat to pass to the roots.
Chalk soils are unfavorable because
they do not absorb the solar heat. and
are. therefore. cold to the roots Of the
plants.
