Ten Thousand Sheep Lest.
Austin ReYeille.

II. F. Beecher, son of Henry Ward
Beecher, went to Eureka, New, last
week in charge of sheep belonging to
Gen. Beale. which changed owners at the
Willows. He informed the Sentinel
that when he left Kern county, CAL,
there were seven bands of sheep aggre-
eating 18,600, and on Sunday noon,
when the bands left the Willows they
aggregated but 1888, showing loss Of
10,067 sheep on the trip. The most OF
this number were lost on the Aida
desert, oyer which they travelled for
eight days and nights, finding 10 water
for the animals. The distance travelled
was about 600 miles, and the time con-
sumed about3 months. Gen. Beale was
offered $4,000 for the entire number at
Independence, which was only 250
miles from the ranch. He refused the
offer, and the result is that, after untold
hardships, he is loser to the amount of
several thousand dollars. His reasons
for refusing all offers was because he
had been promised 81 so per head for
every one delivered at Salt Lake, and
had he succeeded in getting through
with only an average loss. it would have
proved d profitable speculation.

Hoe Raising in Kansas.

Hog raising west Of the Missouri river
is receiving increased attention, and
Kansas must soon become one of the.
first hog states in the west. Not only
have the receipts of hogs here since
Jan. 1 been much larger than ever be-
fore in the history of our market, but
the hogs have been of a very good quail
ity, and would compare favOrably with
the receipts of the older hog-grOwing
states east of us. Indeed, there have
been a number Of fine hogs in this Sec
ton that wonld reflect credit ON any
country. Tie greatest increase in the
arrivals has come from the western or
frontier counties, and represent the
immigrants of the past two years, who
have carried legitimate farming into a
new and hitherto wild country, and thus
adding to the production of the state.
The valleys of the Smoky, Solomon,
and Republican rivers, that a few years
ago were only known as cattle ranches,
are now all hog countries, and the swine
crop in that section has been good this
year. The receipts Of hogs here for
the past six months have been, from
Jan. l to July l, 1879, 81, 1881; same
time, 1873, 231. 1887; increase, 1891.
For the past two months a good many
hogs have been purchased in our city
for direct shipment to the Atlantic sea-
board. The flow of immigration ihto
the country west of the Missouri river
the past two years, and abundant corn
crops, have given new impetus to hog
raising in this section.-Kansds City

L StOrY-Teller VanquiShed

"When [ was a young man." said
Col. B., :we lived in Illinois. The farm
had been we'll wooded, and the stumps
were pretty thick. But We put the
corn in among them, and managed
to raise a fair crop. The next
season l did my share of the
blowing. We had 'sulky' pillow,
and | sat in the seat and managed the
horses, four as handsome bays as ever
a man drew rein over. One day |
found stump right in my way. l
hated to back out, so [ just said word
to the team, and, you'll believe it, they
just walked that pillow right through
that stump as though it had been
cheese" Not soul expressed surprise.
But Major S., who had been an inter
ested listener, remarked quietly: TITS
curious, hut had a similar experience
myself once. My mother always made
our clothes in these days, as we'll as the
cloth they were make OF. The old lady
was awfully proud of her homespun-
said it was the strongest cloth in the
state. One day l had just plowed
through white oak stump in the way
you speak of, colonel. But it was a lit
tie too quick for me. 1t came together
before l has out of the way, and nipped
the seat of my trousers. [ felt mean,
I can tell you, but put the string on
the ponies, and, if you'll believe it, they
just snaked that stump out, roots and
all. Something had TO give, you know.

The Blind Mare and Her F'oal.

Here is an instance of instinct which
shows, / think, that there is no differ
ence whatever between the reason of
animals and that ofman. A mare here
had her first foal when she was ten or
twelve years old. She was blind of one
eye. The result was that she frequently
trod upon the foal or kicked 1t over
when it happened to be on the blind side
of her, in consequence of which the foal
died when il was three or four weeks
DID, The next year she had another
foal, and we fully expected that the
result would be the same. But not;
from the day it was born she never
moved in the stall without looking
around 10 see where the foal was, and
she never trod upon or injured 1t IN any
way. You see that reason did not teach
her that she was killing her first foal;
her care for the second was the result
of memory; imagination and thought,
after the foal was dead and before the
next was born. The only difference
that | can see between the reasoning
power of man and of animals IS that
the latter is applied only to the very
limited sphere of providing for their
bodily wants, whereas that of men en-
braces a vast amount of other objects
besides this. The above limitation does
not, | think, apply strictly to domestic
animals, dogs especially, which seem
to acquire some perceptions beyond
mere animal ores.-NGtuTe.

pianist? When the steamer left for
Liverpool we forget how many hun
dreds of Jenny Lind's admirers came
down to see her off. The wharf was
damned. People stood on boxes and
barrels. We shall never forget the
closing act. High upon the wheel
house the Lind stood as ravishingly
lovely as the Venus Anadyomene from
the blue sea waves. The wind was
blowing freshly from down the bay and
caressed her loose hair, which looked
like an aureole in the sunlight. Her dress
stirred by the wind, chung about her
form, and with one hand she waved
her adieux and pressed her handker-
chief to her face, for she was weeping.
Now, a beautiful woman In tears is a
sight to melt hearts of tyrants, and on
that occasion it might be written In the
stereotyped way, there was not a dry
eye in the house, except the little eyes
of the diminutive Goldschmidt, who
stood beside the glorious woman he
had won, with his arms folded tightly
across his breast, the lanceolated ends
of his long, yellow mustache bending
to the stiff breeze, and his gaze fixed
upon the main-top-lnast of a neighbor-
ing vessel. Emotionless was little Otto
Goldschmidt; hard and stony looked
Otto Goldschmidt by the side of that
warm, FACILITATING aggregation and con-
centration of female beauty, whose
sympathetic nature, ever so attractively
manifested in her singing, yielded to
the circumstances and INDUCED in
passionate tears. So she disappeared
among the harbor mists and thronging
vessels out into the bay, out into the
musical ocean,"

The architects of the city of Paris
were surprised, on taking possession OF
the palace of the Tuileries, to find it in
habited in every nook and corner.
Numerous families were found living IN
the wing by the riverside. Many of
them could not say by what right they
were there; some dated back their resi-
dence to the time of the restoration, in
1880; and at the time of the fire in 1871
they took refuge in the wing from.
which they have just now been elected
to make room for the municipal coun-
Gil. But the most extraordinary thing
was that, in the imperial stables, with
their marble troughs and mahogany
managers and racks, were found a
numerous company of horses, who
have for many years been gratcitously
stabbed there.

4 FOOL NAVIGATOR.
C0pt. GOidsmith and Wife Picked Up
in Mid-0cean and Saved.

A Liverpool special OF Sept. 9. says:
Captain Goldsmith and wife, crew of
the miniature boat Uncle Sam. from
Boston to Europe, have arrived at this
city In a vessel which picked them IN.
1t seems that Mrs. Goldsmith, at the
commencement OF the voyage, suffered
from seasickness. Her illness, after a
few days, assumed a serious folm and
threatened Inflammation OF the bow
els. Constant wakefulness of Captain
Goldsmith was thus made necessary
The 10th of August, when off New
fOundland, q tremendous northeast gale
was encountered and sail was shorten
ed. 1t was feared the boat would
swamp or capsize, and Captain Gold
smith stood, knife in hand ready to cut
away the halyardS. In consequence of
the boat shipping heavy seas, Captain
Goldsmith finally lay-to with two drags
over the bow, and tried to take some
rest. The tremendous sea almost filled
the place where he was resting. ami his
wife was sitting in water up to her
shoulders. After bailing out the water
1t was found the drags and two oars had
been carried away, and all the provis-
ions except the canned meats destroyed.
Mrs. Goldsmith growing rapidly worse,
her husband, on the night of the 10th
of August, began to consider the advis-
ability of returning to Newfoundland.
The gale continued the 18th and 18th,
all the fastenings but one of the main
sheets having given way. At o'clock
on the afternoon Of the 18th, after y
hours Of wakeful4ess, Captain Gold
smith lay down to sleep, but was
awakened by the shock of a heavy sea.
He saw large bark and chased 1t for
an hour, finally coming up with her, and
Mrs. Goldsmith was hauled aboard
with a rope. Everything in the Uncle
Sam was lost. The boat was scuttled.

FARM NOTES.
A Special Want-More Sheep.

The United States needs more sheep.
IN all parts Of this great country, to
secure health and comfort Its people
must have food and clothing. The
sheep furnishes the best and most
wholesome animal food, and the most
comfortable clothing yet tested by the
masses of our people. In malarial dis
tricts-especiallv those where extremes
nf heat and cold are frequent-woollen
clothing and a freer and more common
diet Of good young mutton would insure
better health and better vlgor than gen.
orally characterize pork eaters and the
wearers OF cotton and fine linen.
From the best data within our reach
we ascertain that there are on the entire
globe about 5OO,000,000 sheep. OF
these, the United States has but 50, 00O,-
600. Our manufactures consume an
nually more than 25,G0O,000 pounds of
wool. If each of our sheep furnished
five pounds of wool, there would yet be
yearly deficit of 100000 pounds.
Here is a good field for enterprising
stock men. We need double our pres
ent number of sheep. Let no one in
duige a single fear of an over production
of either mutton CT wool. Could our
focks be trippled or quadrupled, they
would add not only to the comfort and
healthfulness and sobriety, but also to
the productiveness of every field used
as a pasture.
We hope that every farmer who
reads this will at once consider how
much his interest would be subserved
by adding score of sheep to his stock.
These furnish choice food, and their
increase and feeces are always in de-
mand, and that, too, at fair prices

The Girl of TIE Period.

The girl of the period rather prides
herself on her gentlemanly appearance.
She wears a round-top hat, and raises
uses her parasOl as cane; thrusts her
gaily colored handkerchief in her
"ulster" pocket, and fourishes it from
time to time in a marked manner. She
uses slang, and characterizes her male
friends is far more disagreeable to them
than the wearing of hats suitable only
for men, or garments cut in style
formerly used by gentlemen alone.
Girls make a great mistake in thus
forgetting the delicacy of their Sex.
How strange they do not know that
manishness or boldness is as offensive
to young men, if they are true gentle
men, as it is to their mothers. The best
young men will say, when speaking of
a young lady of this class: "Oh, yes,
she's rather pretty, and pleasant enough
to chat with awhile, but haven't a
particle of respect for her, and would
never think of marrying such CIR"
When such young men are ready to
marry they seek for modest, unobtru-
sive young ladies, who are busy with
books or house duties, who dl ess in
quiet taste, and are neither in gait nor
manners inclined to manishness. Girls
like these do not need to do the court
ing, or dress loudly to attract the at
tention of the other sex.-Think less
of your nobby hats, girls, and more
of the heads beneath them. A simple,
becoming dress is far more attractive
than the costume you call stunning"
or ''gotton up regardless" and low
sweet voice more likely to win adj
miration than loud, resolute tones,
perpetually employed in giving en-
phasis to slang.

Plants in Sleeping Rooms.

Prof. Bentley, in recent lecture,
''The Life of the Plant" says there ex-
lists wiGelyspread notion that plants,
when grown in rooms where there is
but little ventilation, and hence
especially in our sleeping apartments,
have an injurious influence upon the
contained air. This idea has arisen
from a knowledge of the fact that plants,
as already noticed, are always evolving
a small amount Of carbonic acid, and
hence, when not exposed to solar light,
when evolution of oxygen Is also taking
place, this deteriorating influence on
the atmosphere is that alone which is
going on. But the amount of carbonic
acid which is then given off by plants is
so extremely small that it can have no
sensible effect upon the atmosphere in
which they are placed. 1t might readi-
ly be shown that it would require some
thousands of plants, in this way, to
vitlate the air of room to anything
like the extent of that of single ami
NAL, and that, therefore, the idea of a
few plants rendering the air Of close
rooms urwholesome by this action is
altogether erroneous. While carbonic
acid gas has thus been proved to be
essential to plants, nearly all other
gases are more or less injurious to them.
Hence we have at once an explanation
of the reason why plants growing in the
air of large towns, and more especially
in those where chemical processes on a
large scale are going on, do not thrive.
The air of an ordinary sitting room,
and especially one where gas is burned,
is also rendered more or less unsuitable
to the healthy growth of plants, in con-
sequence of the production ofiniurious
gases as we'll as from the dryness Of the
atmosphere.
