For the benefit of our sheep.
raisors, we print the following from
the Richmond IVhig:
Let mo publish to the sheep-rais.
ing world a remedy against the de.
struction Of sheep by dogs, which
was given mo short time since by
n highly respectable and valued
friend, himself an extensive wool
grower. 1t consists simply in
placing on one sheep in every ten
of the flock a bell of the usual size
for sheep. The instinct Of the dog
prompts him to do all his acts in n
sly and stealthy manner; his at
tacks upon the sheep are most
frequently made Mt night whilc
they are at rest, and the simulta-
neous jingling Of all the bells
strikes terror to the dogs; they
turn their tails and leave the sheep,
fearing tho noise of the bells will
lead to their exposure. The ratio
Of bells may be made to vary ac-
corling to the size of the flock.

Tho Care of Eggs.

How to keep eggs in the best
possible condition for a number Of
days, in order to make a satifacto-
ry hatch does not seem 10 be un-
dcrstood by some. We have had
eggs hatch well, although over
three weeks old, and but We usually
make il point not TO 60 so long
before setting them. For longer
than that time, oven if well cared
for, ii is best not to depend upon
them, for the results, usually, are
anything but satisfactory. In keep
ing eggs for Matching purposes, too
many persons keep them in too
warm place, where they are sure
to lose their vitality, while a damp
place is almost as fatal in its effect.
Handling the eggs frequently is
not only useless but 1t serves to.
lessen the chances of Matching.
Our plan Of keeping eggs is very
simple, and merely consists in care
fully placing eggs, as soon as gath
cred, in shallow baskets, lined
either with paper or piece ofcloth,
and then keeping these in a cool,
dark place until the eggs arc needed.
fla hen is kept from her nest
long enough for the eggs to become
cold, they are not necessarily spoil
ed, particularly ifthe incubation hos
progressed ten days; in fact, at
any stage of the Matching period it
is better to carry them through
than to destroy them.

Faith.

The following is an incident on
the recent return Of some British
officers from Afghanistan: Scene
The widest part Of the Khyber,
with barren rocks towering on all
sides; IN English officer riding
along, escorted by motley COM
pany of Maliks and tribesmcn all
armed to the teeth; more armed
Afrecdees in the middle distance;
a weary, lonely figure toiling on
the dusty road in huge black boots
face burned n brick red and frin-
gcd by scanty sandy beard. Tho
figure is clad in q thick wadtled
garment and has a bundle on its
back.
Haiti Who are you ?"
"a Turkistani."
Where arc your conrades?"
II am alone"
Where are you going?"
"To Mecca"
How will you set there?"
" God will help"
"Pcace be with you"
"And with you"
The figure moves of, and the
armed circle breaks up. The poor
dcvotee had trampcd hundreds Of
miles through hills and valleys,
swarming with cut-throats, secure
in his simple faith which had led
him to leave distant Turkestan in
quest Of the still more distant
Mccca.-lndian Pioneer.

The woman gazcd cautiously
around. There was no one near

"All right: no dog, no ilc."
"Well, I'll ask your father
"And you'll buy mo a pony?"
"Oh, I couldn't do that. Now

"Oh, yes, III swallow that stuff,

SDiallness Of the JYorld

DR.. Motley, after threo years and
n half spent in n voyage Of scien-
tific exploration around the world
says the voyage left a deep i'm
preston of the smallness of the
earth's surface. We live in the
depths Of tho atmosphere as deep
as the sea animals live in the
depths Of the sea. Like these We
can crawl up into the shadows, or
mount at peril in balloon; but
the utmost extent of our verticle
range is no greater than we can
walk horizontally on the earth's
surface in n couple Of hours. If
there were land tho entire length
Of tho equator, it might be possible
to run around the world in n train
in loss than three weeks. A walk
of about four miles n day would
bring q man from Bchring Strait
to Cape Horn in about seven years.
The earth as n competent part of
the universe, may be compared to
a small isolated island on its own
surface. As, in tho course of ages,
such an Island develops its own
peculiar insular fauna and flora, so
probably on the surface Of the
earth alone has development Of nj

Fernandez, a boarder in the house
| the other a visitor only-a dark,
mysterious man, calling himself
Gomez. This man was looked up
on with suspicion; no ono knew
whence he came; no one dared to
ask his history. He was evidently
rich, was particularly liberal, and
popular with the best citizens.
Mrs. Davidge was preparing to
return permanently to Baltimore,
and it became necessary for the
daughter to decide between her
lovers-thc frank young Adolphus
and tho mysterious but equally
handsome Gomez. 1t was in the
moonlight on the balcony that
Adolphus pleads:
"say, Amelia, dearest, that you
will be mine, and on the wings Of
love I will follow to your new home.
You know must return to Spain
and then-"
"Forget me +" interrupted Amc-
lia.
"Never!" exclaimed the youth.
There was q pause. Silence
rcigncd. The silver moon sailed
on. The hands Of the lovers were
clasped. The maiden sighed; her
fate was sealed.
"Wear this for Adolphus's sake'
said ho, placing round her neck
costly chain of gold. She was
alone, with bright thoughts; she
was beloved she was happy.
