The following laughable incident oc
cured in this village few evenings ago
A man, apparently of foreign birth
entered a store in the village not fat
from a place where the "eritter" is sold
AID slyly presenting his bottle, asked tt
have it filed. As the store keeper sold
nothing hut Kerosene and other oils, he
lnnocently asked him if he would have
1t filled with Kerosene; the answer wa,
yes" The stranger followed the clerk
to the cask, and saw the sparkling fluid
flowing into the measure, and remarked
while the bottle was being filled, "Plase
fd0s a sap in the nlasure," with which
request the accommodating clerk complied.
wondering what the man intended to do
with it, The man then placed the cup
to his lips, while his eyes sparkled in an
tlciPaion of the joyous beverage, and
drained the measure dry. The scene
that followed cannot be painted. when
the man so far recovered his breath that
he could speak, he in wild excitement
exclaimed, "Jdsus man, that is no liquor"

GREED OF GoLD.-When Napoleon
about 1911, desired to build a palace fol
the King of Rome, near the Barrier d,
Fassy, the shop of poor cobber stood
in the way. Simon having learned wha
was going on, demanded 10000 francs
for his tenement. The administrator hes
itated few days, and then decided Il
give it; but Simon, goaded by the greed
Of gain, now asked 10000 francs. The
sum was more than 200 times its value,
and the demand was secuted. An at
tempt was made to change the frontage,
but being found Impossible, they went
again to the cobbIer, who had raised his
price to 10000 francs He was offered
10000 but refused. The emperor would
not give franc more, and preferred to
change lis plans. The Specializing son
Of ST. Crispin then saw his mistake, and
ofere his property for $4,000 francs.
for 10000, for $4,000, coming down at
last 10 10000. The disaster OF 1914
happened, gnd all thoughts of a palace
for the king of Rome were abandoned
Some months after, Simon sold his shop
for $50 francs, and in a few days after
he was removed to an insane asylum
Disappointed avarice had driven him
crazy.

Gg In an article on the present fnan
cial condition of the country the New
York Economis: says:-
at was just thus with England dur
ing her great wars at the beginning o
Ills century. Her paper money system
was enormously extended; the value O.
gold advanced; a general range of higt
prices was established; the cry of inaa,
ton and ruin was raised by alarmist:
who failed to comprehend the situation
but it remains an historic fact that, dur.
ing this very period of seeming initiation
the foundation of England's wealth wa,
laid; it was then that she amassed her
"rormous manufacturing capital, and at
aimed and consolidated a commercial
supremacy that has since remained IN
approached. The remarkably steady
and extensive progress of our own ma
tional interests, under conditions in many
respects similar to those of England, is
a strong indication that our own manu-
featuring, agricultural commercial inter-
rsts are undergoing similar process of
expansion and consolidation to that of
Great Britain during her period of costly
war"

Nankin Sheep.

Eds. Country Gentleman.-I have re
Gently noticed a request in your paper By
j. b. S. Of Montpelier, VT, for informa
ton respecting "Chaese Sheep" thei
weight, quality of mutton, hardness a
compared with other breeds, their wool

them may be interesting to sheep and
wool growers.
shall go back to the commencement
when ! only had three sheep OF this
breed, and none other of any kind
They had then just arrived from Nankin
China. These three were all ewes, from
which bad, in twenty months, clear
increase of more than 20, and raised
them, am aware that this statement
will not be generally credited, and will
endeavor to make it palmer by further
explanation.
These three ewes we're all large with
lamb when took them from the ship, and
in month or less each one had tire,
lambs, making twelve, old and young
Then, as had no buck at first, was com
PEELED TO wait about four and a half
months for young buck and in nine
months both old and young were coming
in-the old ewes the second time-the
young ewes with three lambs each, and
of the old sheep, one had three lambs
one four, and the other had five lambs
the latter sheep raising the whole five.
and all grew to be large sheep, and bree
ding twice year At this rate, it will
not be difficult to understand how raised
20 in twenty months. If we had taken
the proper care of them, so or 90 might
have been raised in that time, as quite a
number died from the want of care, hav
ing no suitable stables, nor were they sep
arated as they ought to have been.
! then sold the whole flock to r. L.
PeIl, Esq, of Esopus, Ulster county, N.
Y, except one eve. and from it I have
since raised large flock.
The live weight of the bucks is from
l75 to 200 lbs, and the ewes proper
iionately heavy. The quality Of the
mutton is the finest ever saw, being en-
irely free from the strong taste common
with most other breeds of sheep. The
wool is coarse and long. They are easy
keepers, and do mol jump fences-a low
stone wall is sufficient 10 turn thD H.
They are quite hardy, and stand our nor
thern winters equal TO any sheep ever
saw. Their great recommendation lies
in the quality and quantity of mutton that
can be produced in a short time.

periments by crossing Nankn with other

:" Our only child, about three years of age, was
attacked by pimples on his forehead They rapidly
spread until they formed a loathsome and Yirulent
sore, which covered his face, and actually blinded
his eyes for some days. A skilful physician applied
nitrate of silver and other remedies, without any
apparent effect. For fifteen days we guarded his
hands, lest with them he should tear open the fes-
tering aud corrupt wound which covered his whole
face. Having tried every thing else we had any
hope FROM we began giving your SARsAPARILLA,
and applying the iodidc of potash lotion, you
direct. The sore began TO heal when we had given
the first bottle, and was well when had finished
the second. The child's eyelashes, which had come
out, grew again, and he is now healthy and fair

from it deduct the Primary School

have s14,416 SO coming from the pock
cts of the people in the year. Is this a
large sum to pay for the means of ed
ucation for 6,407 children for six and

sixths of the number avaied them

foe cents a month. How does this
compare with the expense in private
school? Such is the economy of our
public school system; and its advan-
tage over any system of private schools
is as much greater in point of RELIABLE

Our school system is admirably

will be valueless, without the constant

WINE [! |! |!

From the earliest ages wine has been known and
esteemed one of the choicest productions OF the
earth. 1t is rendered proveibia in Scripture. In
the present age good wine is not only valued a
luxury, but there are several kinds which are held
in high estimation by the medical profession, and
form valuable commodity in every good dispen-
sary In Europe there upwards Of fifty differ
ent kinds of wine obtained from many different
kinds of grapes But it has remained for modern
science and skill to produce luxurious ond de-
lightful wine from medical plants and roots. The
object has been fully accomplished in an article
called DE-. HALSEY'S FOREST WINE. From a
formula of roots plants etc.. of the highest medi-
cal order, is here reduced a pure wine, equal if
not superior, in flavor to any imported, at the same
time retaining all the virtues of one of the best
medical formulas ever known,
No invalid can object to take the Forest Wine on
account of dsagreeable TASTE and none can take it
without being convinced of its great value a
medical agent. From our own experience we can
vouch for the excellence of this wine and trust
that every one, whose health is in the least i'm
paired, will read Dr. Halsey's advertisement,
which will be found in our columns to-day, and
avail themselves of the remedy.
