THE,SHROPSHIRE SHEEP.
_Sortie Advantages It Possesses ,Over
the Larger Breeds.
The, question often arises as to which
proves itself the more profitable to the
breeder .and feeder of sheep -a big,
heavy sheep or a small but bettee'
quality one, says the Rural New York
er. There is a great tendency among
farmers nowadays in all districts where
soil and climate are suitable to mild -
Nate a big sheep, their contention be-
ing that when the two -year-olds come
Into the market the bigger and heavier
ones realize more than smaller ones.
Tbat ds quite true, and there is a
.mood deal to be said on the side of a
,big sheep, but when all the pros and
eons are carefully taken into consider-
ation It is a great question If a smaller,
better quality sheep will not prove far
snore profitable to the breeder in the
tong run. Let us, for instance, take
the Oxford and Hampshire cross as a
type of big sheep, It being a favorite
cross, and the Shropshire as an exam -
elle of a smaller and, it may be said
with all due respect to the beforemen-
ttioned cross, a better quality sheep.
.It is well known that big sheep are
-.big consumers and consequently can-
--not be so thick on the laud as small
sheep can, and, for instance, where 100
breeding ewes of the Oxford -Ramp -
Shropshire sheep in general form
are deep, thick and of medium
length. This form is of the mutton
fYpe, • carries a medium to heavy
fleece of very good character,
though of course lacking the roil
and 'fineness of the Merino breed.
The head Is carried erect with much
style and strength and Is well cov-
ered with wool. The Shropshire is
adapted to grating, stands cold
weather well, and the ewes are ex-
ceptionally good mothers, Thesires

FAMOUS ENGLISH ACTOR NEAR-
ING HIS STAGE JUBILEE.
Great Comedian Made His First
Appearance In 1864 and Has Wit-
nessed ManyChanges In His Pro-
fession-His First Good Part In
London Was a Sleeping Role -
Created Sam Gerridge In "Caste."
Sir John Hare, the celebrated Eng-
lish actor, entered his seventieth year
a few days ago. He will celebrate his
theatrical jubilee next year, having
made his firstappearance as a profes-
sional in September, 1864_ at Liver-
pool.
Even before then he had achieved
a triumph in an amateur performance
of "A Scrap of Paper." It was not
many months since he produced "The
Marionettes," in which be played M.
de Ferny, at the Comedy Theatre,
and his power had by no means di--.
minished. He still takes the keenest
interest in the scheme for a National
Theatre -a cause which ae has long
championed.
1 Naturally enough, Sir John takes a
very serious view of his art. "It is a
lamentable fact," he wrote not long
ago, "and one from which the stage
has suffered for many years, that ama-
teurs have been permitted to appear

Two Surprise Parties.
A party of ladies and gentlemen
exploring the depths of a celebrated
mine arranged that a lunch should
be partaken of on the 1;500 fobt
level, Four large baskets full of
dainties, both, liquid and substantial,
were therefore lowered to the depths.
These descended first among a group
of honest Cornish miners delving on
the 1,200 foot' level, who, in the ab-
sence of any instruction, decided,
after much discussion, that it must
be a national holiday or something
of the kind above ground and that
this was a kindly little compliment
from the owners. They therefore
fell to on the eatables with much
energy ancl made short worlc of the
dainties, When the exhausted ex-
cursionists, after their tramp throtreh
the mine, inquired for their refresh-
ments they discovered only the
empty hampers and about twenty
brawny miners full of chicken salad,
champagne, mashed ice and other
things dancing a Cornish bresk town,

QUEER €ilk:;y, LAW 3.
Little Island I'as a Criminal Cade
Peculiar lo itself,
The Isle of Ilan present merry cur-
jous features, none of which is more
curious than its laws. For instance,
the Legislature is called the House of
Keys, and was, in other times, a judi-
cial body charged with the duty of
interpreting the laws. Any person so
bold as to slander this House of Keys
was liable not only to a fine in the
amount of £10, but to the loss of both
his ears.
Two Deemsters were once appointee)
to execute the laws which' before the
year 1417 were uncodified, and these
were known as breast laws, far, the
reason that they were imparted to the
Deemsters in secret, to be kept by
them within the secrecy of their own
breasts as long as they chose, or dur-
ing their whole service, though they
were authorized to impart and explain
to the populace as much of these spe-
cial laws as should at any time seem
wise and expedient,
Certain of the Manx laws, as set
down after the codification, are ex-
tremely quaint. Here are a couple of
extracts from the Manx legal ruling:
"If a pian steal a horse or an ox it
is no felony, for the offender cannot.
hide them; but if he steal a capon or
a pig he shall' be hanged."
In case of theft, if it amount to
the value of sixpence halfpenny it
shall be felony, and death to the of-
fender; and under that value to be
whipped or set upon a wooden horse
which shall be provided for such of-
fenders."
The arms of the Isle of Man, which,
though it may sound, like an Irish bull
to say so, are legs -three legs bent
at the knee and apparently kicking
outward from a common centre in the
midst of a, shield -have provoked a
number 'of jocular descriptions, of,
which the best declares that one leg
spurns one ki
pit ns Ireland, ckScotland,
o s at
and the third kneels to England. ;'i
On July 5th of every year the laws
of the Isle of Man are still read aloud
to the assembled people froth. the top
of Tynwald 11111, This is the most
'interesting and archaic legal ceremony
observed to -day in Europe.

furnish the admiration- the boys dress-
ed In their Sunday clothes, the gi'It

this vans of so greet moment to 1118.
Even as schoolgirls we were looking
forward to a time when we should be
the mothers sending our children to
school and listening to them orale on
graduating clay, And some of os 511911
had sweethearts long before we reach-
ed the high school. But there i8 n
long step between a high school end
a grammar school graduation and a
still longer one between a high school
and a college commencement,
My beau ideal at sebool was Fred
Sumner. If 1 could win a little atten-
tion from him 1 was happy- If 11e
frowned upon me 1 was like "sweet
Alice" Iu the song of "Ben Bolt" -1
trembled. He was the 8011 of wealthy
parents and one of the leaders In the
social features of our school life, Hap-
py was the girl who received an invi-
tation to one of the children's parties
at his father's home. 1 was thus hon-
ored, though 1 was not quite up to
Fred Summer's set, and 1 appreciated
the honor.
There was another boy in the school
who lived near me and who was ofa
very different type, Johnny Ryerson.
Johnny's mother was a widow and in 1
straitened circumstances. She really
couldn't afford to keep Johnny at
school, but she did,tbougb as soon as
he was old enough to work she needed
what he could earn. Johnny slndied
very hard. He was obliged to study
Hard, because he did not learn readily.
But what Johnny learned he learned
thoroughly. In this he was nnike my
idol, Peed Sumner, - who learued so
easily that he seldom paid much at-
tention to his studies tilt just before
exaulivation, when he would do all his
studying nt once.
When Fred went away to college 1
was considered his best girl. Ile
would leave me alone once in awhile
to go after some other, but invariably
came back to we. What it :10118 that
held him to me I don't know. 1 was
certainly nothing of a belie, and the
social standing of my, family was noth-
ing like his. Nevertheless there must
have been something in .me to attract
blm, for he certainly gave ine the
preference, and before he was grad•
uatedhe told int "his story."
When we all got through the high
school the question came np as to go-
ing to college. Girls .were not so Used
to -getting a college education then as
now, and 1, not having the means to
carry me through without working my
own way, concluded not to take a-nut-
versity eoin'se. - Fred Sumner went to
one of the large colleges, . where he
soon became prominent. He was elect-
ed a member of.one of the most select
fraternities and was eiltogetlier an all

Somehow 1 took it into my head that
1 was en object of more than especial
interest to John. It did trot trouble are
-no woman is troubled at a superfluity
of lovers -but 1 felt sorry that 1 could
not reciprocate. John was not my
ideal at all. That ideal was Fred Sum-
ner. No two men could have been
more different. Sumner's clothes were
crit in the height of fashion, and his
manners were delightful, especially
with women, toward whom he was
charmingly deferential, John Ryerson
not only worehis bat on all occasions,
but it was.very shabby, Moreover, he
had no fraternity badge to pin on his
waistcoat. Tn other words, be was not
considered of enough importance to be
elected a member of a fraternity.
And yet there was something about
John that leliked. I suppose it was his

city, Those who are on top are, there
because they are there, and so long as
they have the wherewithal to stay
there they can do so. If they disap-
point society by doing something to
cause their fall society simply walks
over their carcasses and goes on, but
does not profit by the matter. That is
something with which society bas nottl-
ing to do. Society exists hi college as
everywhere ,else. There is the sante
social climbing in a university as there
is on upper Fifth avenue, New pork.
Considering, all. this, .1 couldn't help
feeling sorry for John that be must
continually take a back seat.
My two admirers graduated within a
few days of each other. I attended the
commencement exercises at both cols
leges. The' commencement at Sumner's
university was held first. He invited
me especially, and I was udder his care
while I was there. He had an appoint-
ment to speak at commencement; but
did not avail himself of it, 1 found
that he had become one of those who
affect to despise learning. This class
of students has largely increased of
late. They go to college more as girls
go to a finishing school, assuming that
a university is: a small world with all
the Struggles, triumphs, failures and
other: features of the world they are
about to enter; and it is well to have
some training for the larger field be-
fore enteripg it.
"What do men in a law case Care
about oratory? Theywant evidence,"
said Fred ;to me when I was arguing
the case with him. Since I could not
refute bin. I held my tongue.
Having gone to see Fred Sumner
graduate, I was obliged to be content
with seeing him elected a member of
the Creme de la Creme, the tiptop of
all the fraternities, He said himself
that he would rather have that elec-
tion than take the valedictory. Be
stood well in his class, be said, and
that was all he cared for. These ideas
were new to me, but since I knew,
nothing about college life I could/erns

1 left for home, [reed begged me to give
him n reply to his suit before parting,
and 1 would have made it then and in
the lairmative, but believed he would
appreeiate`it more from having to wait
for it. So, in order to let him feel that
be had a rival, I said that 1 would
defer my answer till after the con-
mencement at Q— college. This had
the effect 1 desired I'm sure.
The exercises at our home college,
comprising not more than 400 stu-
dents, was very different from the one
1 bad just attended. f went to see
John's mother as soon as I reached
home, and'she told me that her son had
insisted upon her coming to the college
to hear him speak at commencement.
She bad so pinched her wardrobe that
she was obliged to tell him that she
had nothing fit to wear. John had re-
plied that, if she bad nothing but a
dress of gunny bags, still she must
come. She did not wish to go, for her
son would surely be ashamed of her
attired in an old alpaca she had had
for fifteen years and a hat that had
been out of fashion for a still longer
period. But John had put his foot
down, and she dare not refuse.
At the exercises I took a seat direct-
ly behind the old lady, being curious
to see how she would act while John
was speaking. When it came his turn
to deliver his oration I was struck
with a certain practical simplicity
there was about It. His subject was,
"Why Do We Go to College?" It seem-
ed to me that there we's far more
depth to what he said than to
what Sumner had said to me on the
same subject. The principal point be
made was: "We must prepare to do
our best in the world by doing air
best in college. A college career will
not in itself give us success, but it
gives us better weapons with which to
fight."
When ,iohn had finished his oration
be did something that won me to him
far more forcibly than anything he
had said. On receiving bis diploma he
marcbed down the center aisle In full
view of every one present to where
his mother sat in her barbarous cos-
tume and laid the sbeepskfn in ber lap.
Then, putting bis arms around her
neck, he kissed her,
Most of those present knew the story
'lie act tali -a story or pinch and
save, a story of devoition from a moth-
er to a son and its final reward. It
was followed by a clopping of bands,
through which John walked back to
his place looking as though he re-
alized the applause solely due to the
heroine, his old mother in her alpaca
dress and out of date hat,
I considered that I as well as both
my suitors was upon the threshold of
the great world, and it behooved me
to choose between the two schools
they represented. My whole being
ens suddenly turned to that represent-
ed by John Ryerson. At any rate, it
filled are with a sudden antipathy to
the other. The same evening after my
return from the come aeement exer-
cises, at Q— college I wrote Fred
Sumner an irrevocable refusal,

ually because more and more to me.

"Granny Vic,"
The subjects of Queen 1':ctoria held
their sovereign in veneration and re-
spect. It was only among her own
Dimity circle, where she was "gran-
ree" and not "her majesty," that any
criticism of her character and disposi-
tion was ever heard': There is one
amusing incident in point told by
Mrs. Hugh Fraser in The Reminis-
cences of a Iilliomatist's Wife."
Mils Elizabeth C. Barden was an
intimate friend of the young prin-
cesses and wag in great request at the
palace as a playmate for the young
girls.
One clay one of the princesses gave
Miss Borden a ring. It was a pretty
little trinket, but simple and inexpen-
sive. "I would like to give you some-
thing much finer, Bessie," said the
princess apologetically, "but, yon

"In several cases," he says, "T have.
-seen three generations of the same
family in tha House. :'or instance,
thsre is Col. Seely. T remember his
father and 'grandfather as members
I have also seen three generations of
Mills and Maclaren, and I have had
the honor of serving in the House six
r -,embers of the Rothschil.i family."
Some of Mr. Henley's happiest re-
collections concern Mr. Gladstone,
who was Prime Minister when he first
went to the House of Commons in
1860.
The 'G.O.M.' always had a kind
word for me," says Mr, IIenley, "and
would often stop and chat for some
time. 1 thine: it was the last time be
was in the House; he sat down in a'
chair beside me, end when i rose he
said: 'If you don't sit c' wn I shall
not come to see you again." Once,
when I had made some little blunder,
1Ir. Gladstone'sJassurance was: -
Mistakes are common all through
life,
Dian Miss takes and she becomes his
wife!"
Nec.ilees to say, Mr. Henley has
seen a great change in fashions in
the House. In his early clays at West-
minster everyone wore a top -hat and
Hock coat, but in the 'eighties the
fashion' in caress began to change. Col-
ored coats then made their appear-
ance and the sill: hat lret its mono-
poly. And then, in 1592, Mr. Keir
Hardie was elected for West Ham,
and created a revolution in headgear
by appearing in the House in a cap;
and "if my recollection serves me.
rightly," says Mr, Henley, "he drove
up to the House in a brake, with a
band playing."
The worst -dressed M.P. Mr. Henley
ever saw was 51r. Tom Collins, who
was very careless about his dress, a.l-
tholrgh he was very wealthy and a
fine speaker. "On one occasion," Mr,
Henley says, "I remember Mr, Rich-
ardson Gardiner, who was member for
Windsor, voting in his hunting outfit.

Women and Advertisements
OME statements are so saturated with their
Own moral as to require n0 comment. "Bid-
ing on a car during the excitement over the
naval battles between Russia and Japan, said Mr.
Thomas Martindale, before the Retail Merchants'
Association of Pennsylvania, "I observed that the
men were reading the war news and the women
were reading advertisements. Those women, I
watched keenly,read everyline of the advertise-
ments,
i
ments and then turned to the womans page, 'I his
ride was a distance of eighty r miles, yet at the
5
journey's end the worsen had nor yet had time to
turn to the actual news of the day. The woolen
want advertisements to read, and you must present
your business in a readable shape to be in the tight
these days.”
