think, be accepted a. authority on the
p~rairies of the west, on account of the
cold storms in April. He says:
have had over rs years experience
in shearing sheep early, formerly COM
mencing about the first of May, but have
become fully satisfied that April is the
best month in the year to shear in Yer
mont. No doubt but that most people
will differ with me on this point; will
think it cruel; that the poor animals
will suffer, robbed of their aeeces this
cold weather.
But / would not advise early shearing
unless one has suitable provisions to
make the animals comfortable; MOI
would ! shear sheep in low flesh, or those
that were sickly, for they need their
feeces to keep them warm.
Every thrifty wool grower has, or
should have sheds or stables that he can
close up in cold nights, that would be
ordinary April weather. If, after
shearing, there should be a "cold snap"
like the first few days of this month, he
can crowd them a little closer by put
ting in more sheep; Or some loose boards
can be thrown across the tops of the
feeding racks, say three feet from the
ground or floor, and covered a foot thick
with old litter or straw.
BY shearing about the 10th of April
the fleece will start rapidly, and by the
time grass is grown enough to turn out,
the sheep will stand all ordinary storms,
and will gain in flesh much faster than
if burdened with a heavy fleece.

The Royal Eyes of England.

Most Englishmen know Her Majesty
by sight; have seen the fine-cut features
which have possibly become a little
heavy by age, but which remain in a
most remarkable degree aristocratic
though comparatively few, perhaps,
have heard the clear, ringing voice,
which is delightful in ordinary CONVEX
sation, but which becomes most pain.
fully disagreeable and unpleasant when
excited, or have seen the heavy-lidded
eyes wake and flash lightning for a mo-
ment, and then sink back into disdainful
repose. These flashes of light in the
eyes are common to only three members
OF the royal family-the queen, the
Prince of Wales, and the Princess Bea-
trice. 1t is an extraordinary phenom-
enon; the whole face changes for an in
slant when suddenly lit up with the ex-
element shed from the eyes, and the
physiognomy is entirely altered for the
moment. The late Lord Russell said
once to Lord Dalling that he would
rather face anything than her majesty's
displeasure, for f" 1T dazzled and shocked
you like q sword suddenly u~nsheathed
in the sunlight" The metaphor is apt
and true, and a friend of ours, who was
dining at the royal table at Windsor on
one occasion when Her Majesty became
suddenly displeased with a certain mem
Der of her family whom we will not
name, has often assured us that her face
changed so for an instant as to be almost
unrecognizable.- Whitehall London) Re-

Scene In q Russian Theatre.

The following incident which took
place at the theatre in the town of
Koone, Little Russia, shows to what a
height revolutionary sentiment has risen
in that part of the Empire. The repre-
sentation of q drama entitled cha
thalie de Pultawa," was about to begin,
when an officer of the police appeared
and interdicted the play on account OF
its political tendencies. The audience
protested. The functionary replied,
CURLY: "The piece shall not be played.
| forbid it in the name of the lawr"
He had scarcely pronounced these words
when an indescribable tumult rose among
the spectators, and a few young men
jumped upon the stage and forcibly
elected the officer from the theatre, amid
cries of "Down with the dogl Knock
the scoundrel over!" In a short time
the theatre was surrounded by the police
and soldiers. A few of the spectators
endeavored to leave the theatre, when
an officer appeared and declared every
body in the building under arrest.
Then, suddenly, a shot was fired.
!" Friends, we are being fred upon"
shouted q voice, and the young men at
tackled the officer. The police drew
their swords, and a regular battle took
place in the corridors, which ended by
the arrest of several spectators, who
have since been prosecuted for Nihilism.

with a. evil an expression on his face as
/ ever beheld.
With one bound he was upon the boat
swain before he could turn to protect
himself. l waited no longer, but flung
open the door of my cabin in an instant,
and In another l was to the rescue, and
In q few moments we had our pleasant
passenger in irons.
So, you see, he was the thief, after all,
hiding his knavery under the pleasantest
exterior l ever knew a man possess. The
manner in which he had manufactured
the top of that water cask was the most
finished and ingenious piece Of carpen-
terry l have ever beheld.
In the interior of the side of the cask
he had driven several nails, about two
feet from the top, on which he had sus-
pended, in wash leather bags, the jewelry
he had stolen.
You may easily imagine the surprise
evinced by our passengers on discovering
that the thief was the man for whom
each and every one of them entertained
such regard and even affection.
At the expiration of three days from
the date OF the pleasant passengers de-
lection, We landed in Melbourne, where
duty compelled me to hand him over to
the police; but al no one cared to remain
in that town for the purpose of prose-
cutting him, he WAS summarily dealt
with. The presiding magistrate sem
fenced him to six months imprisonment
with hard labor.

Notable Gem,

Annie H.. Brewster in a letter from
Rome to the Boston Advertiser says:
We will nov leave these relics of
ancient times and listen to a curious
history of a modern work of art which
has lately been told me. 1t is a history
little known 20 far. Some sixty years
ago Ferdinand II. of Naples ordered Of
the gem cutter and dealer Cairello the
largest topaz known, and commissioned
him to chisel upon it a subject represent
ing our Lord breaking the eucharistic
bread. The weight Of this huge stone is
more than two kilogrammes (seven
Roman pounds); it is thirty.three Gen.
timetres thick. The elder Cairello, and
his son after him, worked on this stone
fifty years. They completed it Just as
young Francis was fleeing from Naples
and Garibaldi coming in triumph in
1856-6O. As the king had no money to
pay Cairello's bill for the topaz and
stone chiselling (230.0 600 ~francs) his
majesty gave the gem to his creditor in
lieu of the claim against him. After
Garibaldi entered Naples an attempt was
mode to sequestrate this valuable en-
graved stone rs royal property, but
Cairello showed the deed of gift the
king had given in the place of the money
owing to him. There was a troublesome
law suit which, strange to say, the gem
cutter won, for in such cases the rood
old rule of Rob Roy usually controls the
legal decision, and
"Those do take who have the power"
But the great topaz has been a white
elephant to the Cairello family ever
since; no much labor, time and interest
lost. They have tried over and again in
vain to sell the huge gem. An object of
that nature is the most difficult thing in
the world to get rid of, and is valueIess
to q private owner; once placed in a
public museum as the property of a state
it then takes its proper rank and estima-
tion. When Mrs. Hungerford and the
"silver" Mrs. Mackey, of Paris, were in
Rome a month or SO ago attending the
wedding of Miss Hungerford with Count
Telferner, a hope was entertained by the
agents of the topaz of selling it to one
OF these ladies'. A person was author
lied to offer 1t to them for, SOC, 900 francs,
but nothing was done. Now there is a
plan started which needs only the sane
ton of His Holiness to relieve the owners
OF this costly gem and repay them, not
for interest on their labor and capital in
vested, but for the simple capital itself.
The stone with the engraving on it is to
be photographed, and its little history,
told in several languages, will surround
the picture. Two millions of these are
to be struck of and retailed at two francs
q copy. One franc of the two will 90
for Peter pence, and when the sale is
completed the stone will belong to the
Vatican library collection of engraved
gems. The other franc on each copy
will be given to the owners for their in
identification, also for the expenses of
the photographing. pay of agents, &c. A
monsignore has engaged to
take 100000 copies of the photograph
case the plan meets with the approval
of Leo XIII.

A SAVING may be effected in the con-
sumption of oats for horses by simply
soaking them in tepid water. Practical
experiments which have been made,
show that by this method the rations
of each animal may be reduced one
third. Horses whose teeth have seen
their best days masticate the grain in its
ordinary condition ~insuficiently, and
the younger animals often eat 10 greedily,
that the greater portion of it is swallowed
whole. This waste may be obviated by
the simple method recommended, which
so far softens the grain that it is more
completely masticated and digested, and
consequently yields more nutriment.
Three hours is a sufficient length of time
to soak the grain.
In many European countries where
sawdust is cheap and accessible it has
replaced straw as a bedding
for horses. Properly used the sawdust
is deemed superior to straw. Far ex
ceeding straw in its retentiveness of the
humid particles of the air, it affords the
horses a far softer bed than does the
litter of straw while the esinous
with which it is more
or less impregnsted is a powerful
preventive of p~utrefaction. Stables
where sawdust is employed are more
healthy than stables where straw ia used.
