EE The Farwell, mich. Register
OF q recent date says: Perhaps the
most novel sight ever seen in Mich
igan was witnessed here to-day, in
the way OF q railroad engine, steamed
up, running through the woods on q
common dirt road. This engine ar
rived, . day or two since, on the
Flint & Pere Marquette Railroad,
from Pittsburg, made expressly for
their railroad north of the place,
used for hauling logs to the Musbe-
gon river. After its arrival here,
the question was how to get the
engine to its destination, some If
teen miles distant. Two hundred
dollars having been off,red for the
job without avail. the managers con-
ceivsd The plan Of getting up steam
and trying ths wagon road. which
Vas put into execution. This.mom-
iag stsan was gotten up, and the ss-
gino started northvard on The I0oia

If we were to be asked to say in one
word the quality that more than any
thing else marks English towns and all
public places as compared with our
own, we should have TO say neatness.
English streets are well paved and
clean; English roads are well kept &;
English railway stations are in perfect
order; English fields are trim and neat
English gardens, hedges, fences and
lawns, all exhibit care and oversight.
English smoke and fog blackens and
stains all the buildings, but English
care more than compensates for this un-
avoidable evil. We are not so particu-
lar here. We have a clear atmosphere
and brilliant skies, but we are all, so
far as public places are concerned, sons
and daughters of Shabbyville. This is
more strange, because i'm our households
no such reproach is true. There are no
neater or better-kept homes anywhere
than American homes, nor are any peo-
pie cleanlier or neater in their habits
1t Is wholly in public matters that this
shabbiness we complain of exists; and
this arises, of course, first, from the
neglect of the official persons We endow
with handsome salaries for leaving un-
done the things they should do; and
next, from strange Indifference on
everybody's part to everything of a
public nature, to everything that is not
within his own private administration

Ancient Origin Of the Spanish Merino Sheep

The invaluable race of the Spanish
Merino Sheep is probably an inheri-
tance of Roman civilization. The race
most priced by the Romans was called
the Tarrentine, from Tarrentum, a town
settled by Greek colony. They were
called also Greek sheep. Their wool
was of exceeding fineness, and they
were protected by coverings Of skins,
and were also carefully housed and often
combed and bathed with oil and wine.
Hence they were very delicate. Colum-
ella. the eminent agricultural writer of
the Romans, who lived in the country
before the Christian Era, relates {" De
Re Rust,ca, Lib, VII, Chap. p that his
paternal uncle, NJ. Columella, "a man
who transported from Cadiz to his farm
lands, which were in Boetia, compre
hending part of the present province
of Estramadura, some wild rams of
admirable whiteness, brought from
Africa, and crossed them with the GOV
cred or Tarrentine ewes. Their offspring
NhiNh nav thN pave hdA p" "uilCllCc>, UtliiR
put to paternal ewes produced rams
with fine fleece. The progeny of
these again retained the softness of the
dam and the whiteness of the sire and
grandsire. Other agriculturists un-
doubtedly initiated. Columella and
stronger constitution was thus impaired
to the fine-f1eeced but delicate sheep of
ancient Italy. That this improvement
commenced in ancient Spain is further
established by the testimony of Strabo,
who says in his account of the geogra-
ply of that country Glib. III, Chap. q
that in his time, that Of the Emperor
Tiberius, wool of great fineness and
beauty was exported from Hudilania, a
part of Boetia, and that the rams were
sold in that province for improving the
breed for talent each, or about one
thousand dollars. When the Roman
Empire was over-run by the barbarians,
the Tarrentine stock of Italy, being very
tender, became extinct; bnt the improv-
ed stocks Of Boetia, living in the noun
tains, survived, and was perpetuated BY
the Moors, who, skilled in the textile
arts, could appreciate its value. 1t
still exists as the Merino of Spain. II
this view is correct, the Merino race is
the most important surviving relic of
the material civilization of the Greeks
and Romans.-The Fleece and the Loom.

Brains and VIII.

There are many men and women who
are i'll from want Of brains. They suffer
voluntary decline because they do not
possess the brain-power that can offer
the blood any inducement to circulate.
The blood does not want to be rushing
about when there is nothing going on
in the man or woman that owns the
blood. Why should the heart or lungs
be toiling all day and all night when
the person who owns those machines
has no use for any new stock of tissues
or blood? Pluck is wonderful agent
in throwing of disease. A walk of five
miles would cure many an occupant of
the lounge Will-power will surpass
pill-power in nine cases out of ten. To
hold bottle of smelling salts in the
hand on account CT a headache is Just
the thing at times, but to fling a pound
of fruit cake out in the alley, and then
walk furlong as reward for not eat
ing the compound, is nearly always a
much better thing.

The Signal Service.

1t was dismal rainy day in Decem
ber Socrates, who had no umbrella
and in fact didn't have time to live
until the first one was made, stood OF
the front steps of his house, drawing
his cloak around him, before venturins
down the street. From the opposit,
side of the street his friend Theramenes
passing by, familiary hailed him a:
''SOc, and shouted:
"Blustery this morning."
Yes replied the philosopher, ''it's
cold"
"Hey:" suddenly shot the voice OF
Yantippe from second story window
hey:" what's that,''
81 said" exclaimed Socrates, prompt
ly throwing up his guard and backing
prudently into the doorway; "I said
it's scold.''
''Said what?' was the sharp re-
jOinder; you say that again. and say
it Slow
''It's scold," repeated the philoso-
puCI tts Ioi'i ll- etpiu dc lhuuutl. L
said"
There was moments silence, during
which Xantippe appeared to be buried
in profound thought, while the great
disciple of Anaxagoras occupied the
painful interval by glrding up his loins
and tucking his trousers in the tops OF
his boots and making other prepara-
tons for lively run. Presently there
came from the window:
"You hold on there a minute, young
man, till come down. j want to see
you second before go down town.
There was fierce, rapid tapping OF
attic sandals upon the wet pavement,
the wild rush of a cloaked figure through
the pelting rain, and ten minutes later
Socrates was explaining to Plato and
Xenophon that he had chased a street
car all the way from the Peiraic gate
and was clear out of breath.-Burlingts

The Japanese Persimmon.

This fruit has recently been introduc-
ed into California and is attracting
much attention. Professor Griffis,
author of the "Mikado's Empire" t"
writes in regard to this new tree.
90 1t is one of the handsomest of fruit
trees, and in the fall, with its golden
hued fruit hanging to the branches after
the leaves have fallen, forms beautiful
and striking picture in landscape.
The timber is very valuable, and is
much used by the japanese for carved
work, cornices, solid articles of furni-
ture, and such objects as require a COM
paratively heavy and close-grained
wood, which, by its color and tissue, is
well suited for ornamentation and
handsome utility, The juice expressed
from unripe persimmons forms a very
useful liquid for staining wood, giving
it rich brown color, like walnut.
Much of the carved wood and wooden
utensils, and cabinets from Japan,
often supposed to be walnut by our
people, is in reality only common wood
stained with persimmon juice. Some of
the most elegant wood-carvings at tie
Centennial were of this nature.
As to the fruit itself, it is nutritious,
palatable, and TO a high degreee charged
with those chemical ingredients which
give most fruits their valae in preserv-
ing the health and purifying the blood.
This fact is insisted on by the japanese
doctors, some of whom | have known to
cure their patients by 'persimmon
cure like that of the grape cure of
Southern Europe.
The most luscious japanese persim.
mons are ripened by air-tight closures
in casks containing kaki "a kind of beer
made of rice(, which in two or three
weeks perfect a remarkable flavor.
Unlike our fruit, the japanese species
ripen without frost, though frost i'm
proves the common varieties
The large amount of grape sugar in
this fruit has set some persons expert
menIing on them to determine whether
satisfactory results have yet been obtain
ed. The fact of their containing so
much sacharine matter is the reason of
the ease with which they may be dried
or cured, in which form they are sold
as sweetmeats in japanese shops.

Do Hens Reason.

A hen made a nest in box in the
baggage car, and in the course Of time
had fifteen eggs and stuck to them
through thick and thin night and day,
except to step off the train occasionally
to get food and water, and last Tuesday
hatched thirteen chickens, notwishstand
ing the rumblIng, rolling process the
eggs passed through, Mr.. Shriver
baggage MASTERY says that after the
sitting process began she would fire.
quently, when off the nest in search Of
food and water, get left By the train at
Shelbyville and sometimes at Wartrace,
and on such occasions she would quiet
ly wait for the train to return, and
sometimes meet it when it came in sight
and fly into the baggage car and get on
the nest Immediately. When the train
stopped for wood she would sometimes
fly out to get something to eat, and
when the car bell rang she would hy
back Immediately. She would some
times manifest her joy at the appearance
of the train by cackling at high rate.
Mother and chickens are all doing well.

Manners at Table.

As do the old so will the children do.
If, when a child asks for a biscuit, il is
picked up by the parent and handed
around one at time, or thrown at the
child, there is no chance to reprove the
child when it does the same to the par
ent. When a parent eats with knife,
and forgets to use the fork, the child is
warranted in doing the same. A chatty
cheerful table is always desired, free
from formal stiffness; but freedom is
not rudeness, ease is not boorishness /;
good breeding will show its presence
quicker at table than in the psrlor or
saloon Let parents be careful to set
the example, and the children will not
be slow to do likewise.
