SHEEP IN FRANCE.-Merinos were first
imported into France from Spain in l777.
The experiments were conducted by the
French Government and were so s~atisfac-
tory that Louis XVIII applied to the King
of Spain for permission to export a flock,
which was granted, with an order to select
from the best flocks in Spain. A little over
three hundred arrived in France in 1856,
and were placed in all extensive establish
ment at Ramboullet, about forty miles from
Paris. J
The better feed in France, absence Of ex-
haustive travel, and better breeding, carried
the weight beyond any period ever reported
in Spain. From this R%amboullet flock comes
the famous breed Of French Merinos Of that
name.
Of the French Merinos there are three
families, widely different in characteristics.
They are known as Ramboullet, Mauchamp
Merinos, and the third called the Merinos of
Naz. The German soldiers, during the seige
of Paris, killed and ate the royal flock found
at Ramboullet.

CENTENNIAL LIVESTOCK PRIZES.

1lvE-nIUCA F61LEo.
The subjoined list of prizes enumerated in
the printed classification of livestock, issued
November 10, 1876, by the Bureau Of Agri-
culture, applies specifically to every recog-
nized breed of domestic animals. A sum
mary of the classification is as follows, ap-
plicab1e in each class to second and third, as
well as first prizes:
Horses for breeding, sixteen classes.
Horses for speed, four classes.
Horses as walkers, one class.
Horses as matched teams, five classes.
Asses for breeding, four classes.
Neat cattle as herds. one class.
Neat cattle as bulls, three classes.
Neat cattle as cows, four classes.
Neat cattle as sweepstakes, two &asses.
Neat cattle as steers and oxen, five classes.
Sheep in pens, one class.
Sheep as rams, two classes. y
Sheep as sweepstake, three classes.
Sheep as ewes, two classes.

Poultry, pairs, two classes.
Ninety-five full sets Of prizes are thus of
fered, supposing that but one breed of each
family was placed on exhibition.
This display, however, being not only
open to all the States, but equally so to all
the world, it is easy to perceive that the list
Of prizes here presented, when multiplied by
the wide variety Of breeds that will be dis
played by our WI people alone, will run
high up into the thousands.
An enormous work is before the Bureau
Of Agriculture Of the international Exhibit
ton, as its officers are determined to leave
nothing undone to render the livestock DIS
play the browning feature of the Agricul-
tural Exhibition.

A new machine for shearing sheep has
been invented in California. It is said te
facilitate the operation, besides being less
disagreeable to the animals. In Connect.
cut they have a machine in the shape of
hopper, into which the sheep is thrown in
a jiffy the product is four quarters of roasted
mutton, five dozen yarn stockings, three
gross of bone buttons, and one tanned hide.
The patentee is the original inventor O
wooden nutmegs.
The mammoth 0 owned by W. Hume
rich, of Carlisle, Pa, known as. the "Seitz
Steer" recently passed through Harrisburg
for the Centennial. The animal was loaded
on a gondola surrounded by a frame or
guard, which was carefully padded to pre-
vent injury to the gigantic brute. The OK
weighs nearly $500 pounds, is beautiful
roam in color. and measures four feet across
the back. It will be exhibited under a tent
during the Centennial.
In some parts of Australia, the wild
horses have increased to such an extent, and
do so much damage, that the settlers have
to shoot them.
There is something peculiarly facinating
in the breeding and rearing of all thorough
bred animals, and now, that the shorthoorn
fever is at its height, the following item,
from an English contemporary, comes in
quite apropos:: IF you once buy a beauti-
full heifer, with her messy coat, her we'll
rounded form, sweet head, and all the quail
ties that go to make up a pretty picture,
you are a shorthorn breeder forever. You
escape from her tolls she has faci-
mated you, and you will never tolerate any,
thing that does not show equal quality at
least. So you go on breeding and buying,
breeding and selling, sometimes with profit
upon the outlay, sometimes with considera-
Bile loss, but profitably on the whole, and
you cannot give up the pursuit. But why
should you? Public opinion has indorsed
your choice, and has decided that the short
horn is the animal of the day-that she is
the most generally useful and profitable of
all breeds that a farmer has to pay his rents
by. So you are not only pleasing yourself
by carrying on your pet hobby, but you are
comforting a boon on your felloN-farmers."
Some of the Vermont farmers are organic
ing q registry of pure-bred Spanish Merino
sheep, and it is said they will confer with
the Ohio Wool Growers Association, with
view to the early formation of a National
registry.
The Denver Neaos says: VIM. Rosenthal,
IF Santa Fe, planked down $4,000 in cash,
he other day, for a flock of 100 head of
sheep. James Campbell has just removed
lis flock Of $4,000 sheep from Colorado to
New Mexico.
The shorthorn fever has at length reached
Australia. A late Melbourne dispatch saws
samuel Meardiner, of Melbourne, paid 1900
for the roam heifer Duchess, at Rob
auction sale, at Colac, in January of

CORNS IN HORSES.

A corn consists essentially at first Of 8
hruise, and extravasation of blood from rup.
tlre OF the small vessels which ~insinuate
themselves into the horny texture and give
it the characteristic red appearance, and
sometimes terminates in suppuration as
marked in your case. Again, in necrosis,
horn tunor, or in the formation Of bony
spicular treatment, you have already cut the
bar away, and opened the road to the CON
traction you have mentioned, and any more
pairing would be injurious. Poultice the
feet and clean away any irritating matter
that there may be there, and wash the dis
eased parts daily, with a solution OF carbolic
acid and salt Water-one part of acid to ten
parts OF water. Allow the animal to stand
on q saw dust bed, and keep the parts per-
fectly clean. / agree with Prof. AS Cope
man that when corns are once established,
the cure is only palliative, and that pallia-9
ton must be brought on by proper shoeing.
Experience and anatomical investigation
point to the conclusion that the sole, as well
as the crust, is intended to perform a weight
bearing function. The sole around the
margin of the crust for the distance of about
han an inch in all parts of the foot, except
at the heel-that part embraced in the TRAN
gle between the wall, and, in fact, the seat
Of corn. Here the shoe should rest upon the
wall only, being made sufficiently narrow at
this point. The surface of the shoe bearing
on the sole ought to be concave. In prepar-
ing the foot Tor the shoe, the sole, frog or
bar must not be touched with the drawing
knife, the natural length of the toe and
depth of the wall are to be kept in their
relative positions by the rasp only. By the
application of such measures, all parts Of
the foot calculated to bear weight are called
upon to perform their natural functions. the
various structures kept in their proper and
relative positions. The frog allowed to come
70 the ground to prevent conclusion, the
weight OF the animal diIfused over the ex-
tended surface and not limited to the wall
alone, as IN the common method of shoeing
with seated shoes. Slipping is prevented by
the rim OF the c~oncave, and the wedge
shaped foot egsraeping the ground. Allhorses
badly shod and brutality treated and burned
by acids and the hot iron, must have corns.

moments hesitating silence he said
"Jane, we have known each other long
You must know just how l feel. You
must have seen that clear down at the

He had slipped down on the ice with
80 much force that his spine was driven
up to his hat, and his hat was tipped oveF

girl. She did not laugh, but she carefully
helped him to his feet and said:
"You were saying, John, when You

She slipped herself that time, aud saw
little stars come down to dance before her
eyes, but he pulled her up in haste and
went on:

which l build my hopes. That love has

before she could stoop to help him, and
she said breathlessly:
"Yes, yes, John. You remember, you
just said love which helped you stand
and face thunder. And that you founded
your hopes on-This pesky icel"
There she sat. John grasped the loose
part of her sacque, between the shoulders,
with one hand, and raised her to her feet,
as one would lift kitten from pail of
water by the back of the neck. Then he
said, with increased earnestness:
"Of course, darling, and have longed

Dejazet.

Of Virginie Dejazet, as usual after the
death of a celebrated actress, hitherto
unpublished anecdotes are told on every
side. One narrated by herself, and re-
peated by one of her old friends, gives so
good an illustration of her character that
we give it as nearly as possible in her
own words:
zone evening"" said Dejazet, 81 was on
my way to the theatre, passing along the
Rue des Pyramids, when at the corner OF
Rue st. HOnore, | heard mems voices pro-
ceeding from an entresol of a wine-shOp,
singing-if such discordant sounds can
be called singing-and, oh, horror the
song was nv 4Lisettep / glanced
rapidly into the interior of the shop, dis
covered wFetched cork-screw staircase,
draped with red cotton, which in half a
minute l had climbed, and found myself
in low, hslf-Eghted room, where five
workmen, in shirt-sleeves, were drinking
rather too much wine, and singing, as
said, my darling Lisette.'"
"Oh, mes elfants,' exclaimed, show
can you thus murder Berahger's Lisettel''
One of the men, less tipsy than the
others, came close up to me, looked
earnestly in my face and cried:
bah it's Dejazetl'
"Yes, mes eafdntS, l replied, "Dejazet,
who entreats you not to tea= her best
loved song to pieces in this brutal man
ner. of course you can't do better, be-
cause you don't know how, but l will
sing it for you, after that you must re-
spect it."
"Oh, how gentille of youm said the
men, drawing near with the greatest re-
spect and attention.
'Sit down and keep quiet" replied,
and taking a seat opposite my five listen
ers, l sang Lisette.
With the exception Of an irrepressible
''ere mon" which escaped from the lips of
one man, and was silenced by an elbow
thrust by another, every now and again,
not a sound, not movement interrupted
my song, but, when it was finished, such
burst of enthusiasm rewarded me, that
l was obliged to do my best to calm
them, saying that l must now go to the
theatre.
Mot one foot ~ cried the men. "We'll
get lanterns and torches in no time, and
you sualh Dc CaIHlcu III triumph.
"Don't be foolish, my children" re-
replied. "You are going to remain tran
quilly where you are, and let me 90 as
quietly to my work. This is your best
and only way Of thanking me-"
Seeing me 50 resolved, they said no
more, and | went down the little cork
screw stairs and out into the street as l
had come. Then turned and looked
up at the small panel-window, against
which tiye noses hattened and teB eyes
famed. They saw me, and, as with one
accord, gave me pantomimic applause
-noiselcss but earnest. / kissed my
hand to them, and went on my way with
tears of pleasure in my eyes.

A FIFTH AVENUE BELLE IN DANGER
The callers at one of the most popular
Fifth avenue dwellings on New Years
day we're shocked and surprised to miss
from the parlor on that day one of their
favOrite society bellies. Her absence was
caused by an accident which will bear
mentioning as a warning to some of your
Chicago girls to avoid a similar danger.
This young lady was about preparing her
self the day before to receive New Years
calls, and having a pair of six-button
light kids which she had worn an hour
or so on a previous occasion, conceived
the economical idea of cleansing them
with a preparation of benZine-used by q
dressmaker 10 remove a spot from dress
on q previous occasion. She placed the
gloves on her hands (and arms and after
carefully sponging the few soiled spots
with the liquid, held her hands near an
open CRATE fire to dry off the gloves. In
an instant the vapor from her hands
ignited, the flames ran up her arms, her
dress-sleeves took fire, and she was for a
moment in danger of being burned to
death. Her father was present, and in
stantly grasped a woolen table-cover and
wrapped her in it. This smothered the
flames, but she was dreadfully burned,
and has been confined to her room every
day since, until day before yesterday.
Her hands and arms will be frightfully
SCARED, and the occasion is likely to cast
shadow upon the young girls future
life.-N. y. Cor. Chicago Tribune.

Domestic Service in the Sixteenth
Century.

Three centuries ago domestic servants
appear to have been very much what they
are nowadays, if we may Judge, at least,
from the rules laid down for their con.
duct in family of some eminence. The
following "orders for household SER
vantes, were "first devised by John Har.
rington in the yeare 1866, and renewed
by John Harrington, some of the saide
John, in the yeare 1892; the saide John,
the some, being then High Shrieve of
the county of Somerset Imprimis, any
servant absent from morning or evening
prayer without lawful excuse, to be al
legged within twenty-four hours, should
forfeit twO-pence. Swearing was strictly
forbidden, on pain Of being fined one
penny for each oath. Whose left a door
open that he found shut was to paw one
penny. No man servant WAS to lie in
bed after Q A. NJ, or be out of bed after
10 P. NJ, between Lady-day and Michael
mas; and during the other six months Z
A. NJ. was the hour fixed for rising and 8
P. NJ. for going to ed-on.Charles Lambs
principle of going away early to make
up for coming late. The penalty for
disobedience on any of these points was
twOpence. One penny was forfeited if
any mans bed was unmade, or ony fire
place or candle-box left uncleaned after
8 A. NJ. -Four times that sum was ex-
acted from any man who should teach
children 'unhonest speech" or improper
language. If any man waited at table
without trencher in his hand he was
fined one penny, and also if he absented
himself from any meal without permis-
sion. The rule was strictly enforced that
who breaks pays; and if the actual
culprit could not be discovered, the but
Ter was condemned to make good the
loss, or forfeit twelvepence. The table
was to be covered for dinner half an hour
before II A. NJ, and for supper half
an hour before P. NJ, the penalty
for neglect being twopence. Three
times that amount was the punishment
if dinner were not punctually served at
II A. NJ. and supper at 6P. NJ. Whose
absented himself for whole, or even
for part of a day, without leave, was fined
four pence. Should any one strike an
other, or revile him, or threaten him, or
provoke him to violence, he must sub
NIT to the loss of twelvepence. Whose
entered the kitchen without reasonable
cause paid one penny for the tresspass,
the cook being amerced in like amount
for connivance. 1t was further enacted
that "none toy with the maids on paine
of fourpence;" and "that no man weare
foule shirt on Sunday, nor broken hose
nor shoes, or dublett without buttons,
on paine of one penny" and further,
''that when any stranger gqeth hence the
--efamber be drest up~-S -W7rnln four
howrs after, on paine Of one penny
The hall was to be made clean by An.
in winter and A. NJ. in summer, on the
like forfeit; while the porter suffered to
the same amount if he failed to close the
court gate during dinner and supper. A
fine of threepence avenged any omission
TO clean the stairs, and all rooms that
needed that process, every Friday after
dinner. "AlI which sommes shall be
dolly paid each quarter-day out of their
wages, and bestowed on the poore, or
other godly use"
