The Correct Way to Handle Sheep.

There is right way and a wrong way
hard way and an easy way, an awkward way
and skilful way to catch and handle sheep.
A great many men will seize the sheep by
the wool on the back, with both hands, and
lift the animal clear from the ground by the
wool only. Barbarousl Let some giant grasp
you by the hair of your head and lift you from
the ground by the hair onlyI Would you not
squiggle and squirn worse than the mute
sheep does when lifted by the wool? And
would not there be complaint OF sore head
for week or two ? If you do not believe it.
try the experiment. We have slaughtered a
great many sheep in years past, and when re-
moving the pelts of such sheep as had been
handled by their wool, we never failed to OBJ
serve that beneath the skin wherever the an
imal has been caught by the wool, blood has
settled. In many instances, the skin has
been separated from the body so that infiama-
ton was apparent. We have known proprie-
tors of sheep to be so strict in regard to hand
ling them, that they would order a helper
from the premises If he were to catch sheep
by the wool on any part of the body. Some
owners of sheep direct their helpers thus:
"When about to catch a sheep, move care
fully toward the one to be taken, until
you are sufficiently near to spring quickly
and seeze the beast by the neck with both
hands. Then pass one hand around the
body, grasp the brisket, and lift the sheep
clear from the ground. The wool must not
be pulled. If the sheep is heavy one, let
one hand and the wrist be put around the
neck and the other pressed against the rump."
We have always handled sheep in the way
alluded to. We never grasp the WOOL Others
seize the sheep by a hind leg, then throw one
arm about the body and take hold of the bris-
ket with -one hand. But ewes with lamb
should never be caught by the hind leg, un-
less they are handled with extreme care.
When sheep are handled roughly, especially
If their wool is pulled, the small bruises and
injuries will render them more wild and more
difficult to handle.-EG,

A Horse Who Knew the s. p. G. A.
Sign.

A somewhat singular incident hap
pened yesterday at the corner of
South and German streets, which at
tracted large number of spectators,
few of whom failed to appreciate the
situation. At this corner is the Office
of the president of that humane
organization, the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals. On
the front of the Office hangs the sign
Of the society, bearing upon its face
the picture of a cruel driver beating
an overloaded dray horse. 1t was
about 2 p. NJ. yesterday, and the
streets were thronged with business
men, when horse and cart were
driven down South street, the horse
considerably The worse for wear, the
cart very much dilapidated and some
what overloaded. As the horse
reached the corner, he slightly raised
his head, gave glance at the humane
society's sign, and without more ado
laid himself down on the pavement
in harness, his head toward the sign
and his tail toward the street. 1t
was fancied by those who witnessed
the performance that the horse heaved
sigh of relief as he reached the
pavement and lay under the shadow
Of the society. Tender hands raised
the animal from the ground, though
he looked constantly as if he would
prefer to remain where he was, and
seemed to think that he had fallen in
good company.--Baltimore American.

Taker.
The late Grand Jury in White
Pine indicted A. V. Hoyt, of the
Cherry Creek Independent, for
libel, The indictment was found at
the instance of Senator ii. A. Comins
of that county. Hoyt, through his
paper, had accused Comins of being
ga bride -taker." Comins, being
man of family, would prefer not to
kill anybody if he could avoid it.
Hence he had recourse to legal
means against the Cherry Creek
editor. Mr.. Hoyt was arrested and
brought into Hamilton. After
some little delay he gave bonds and
was released. The trial is set for
the latter part of the present month.
C. J. Lansing will appear tor Sena-

State libel is misdemeanor, pun

Industrial Distress in France.

According to the French newspa-
pcrs there is general distress in the
provincial manufacturing districts.
The Municipal Council of Lille
adopted few Gays back resolution
inviting the great public powers to
DEVOTE their attention to business
questions and adopt Immediately the
necessary measures to preserve the
existence of native industry. A SINH
lar appeal has been voted by the
municipality of Bolbeck. The oper-
ativey of Flers (Orne) have adj.
dressed petition to the Minister of
Commerce showing that the hours of
labor in the cotton manufactures
there have been reduced, and that
the working classes are further
menaced with diminution of wages,
and are in fear of finding themselves
without resources. The Echo du
Nord states that $4,000 spindles have
been stopped at the cotton mill of
NJ. Delasalle at La Madeleine, while
that Of NJ. Vibeaux-F lorine, At Rou-
bais, is only; working three-fourths
time. The Moniteur de Ia Loire,
speaking of the coal and iron trade,
says it hears on all sides of furnaces
blown ont and workmen dismissed
or put on short time. The Journal
DIES Mines states that the output of
coal last week in the district of the
Loire was 700 wagons less than in

A few days since one of my sisters
Kaffir men was very imprudent. He
was outside doing something, and

would send . policeman sitter him, at
which he was rather frightened and
soon came back, but would not come
into the house. So my sister ran up
to him and caught him by the wool,
dragged him into the kitchen and
whipped him. He snatched the
whir from her and tried to break it.

The divorce industry, which
has been fourishing unusually at
Washington; has encountered some
difficulty. Judge Macarthur, of the
District Court. having been over
rum with divorce vases for some
time, has been looking into the
causes, and finds that people from
all over the country have been
going To Washington to get d.

who were married not wisely but
too much, seemed to think that q
Washington court could do almost
anything, and. probably, It could,
but It has made up its mind that It
won't, for the Judge has dismissed

The three Vaughns named have lived

Joshua is seventy seven years old,
Benjamin seventy-five and Sarah

was left them by their father, and
this they have managed by means of
tenants, who gave in their accounts
to the occupants of the single room
every week. No tenant could ever
get anything off the Vaughns, as they
were wonderfully shrewd. The son
of a dead brother visited them re-
Gently and they concluded to turn
the property over to him, retaining a
life lease. There is no furniture in
the room, which is black with SCOT

-ELoPEMENTs BOOM. The Rev.
George Bowers, a young man, who
for six years past preached to the
good folks of Coonville, near Plain
vile. New Jersey, has stolen away
from wife and flock in company
with Mrs. Leecroft, a singer in the
choir. Mr.. Bowers was much loved
by his congregation-Dutch Re.
fornled-but alarmed them some
time ago by his fondness for fast
horses. From fast horses he got to
lodging creditors, and from that
meanness easily slipped into squeez'
ing the hand of Mrs. Leecroft. Then
he was what the unwashed of his
flock call ga goner."
