Burdened With Wealth,

an old pioneer last night, who had been
Dragging to the loungers in Knox's

Antiquity of the Spanish MerinO,

The Romans wore nothing but woolen
goods. They had no cotton, they had
q little linen, which was worn as a ma
terial of luxury; they had no silk.
They cultivated the sheep with great
care, and some of their richest pos
sessions were in sheep. But there was
one breed of sheep which they culti-
waited with great care, and by that sys-
tenn of selection which Darwin speaks
of as the source of perfected forms of
our domestic animals. 1t was called
Tarentine sheep, from Tarentum, city
of Greek origin, situated at the head of
Tarentine Gulf. The fleece of this
sheep was of exceeding fineness, it was
of great delicacy, and the price paid
for it was enormous. The sheep were
clothed in cold weather to keep them
warm; and the result was that they
were very tender, and their wool was
very fine. They were product OF
Greek civilization transmitted down to
the Romans. Columella, the great Ro-
man agriculturist, says that his uncle,
residing in Spain, crossed some of the
fine Tarentine sheep with some that
had been imported from Africa, and
the consequence was that these animals
had the whiteness of fleece of the father
with the fneness of fleece of the mother
and the race was perpetuated. Here
we see an improvement in the stock, al
increase of strength and productivenesl
given TO the fine wool sheep of Spain
At that time the sheep of Spain was O
immense value; for Strabo says tina
sheep from Spain, in the time of III
berius, were carried to Rome, and sole
for the price of a talent ($1,000) /
head. In the time of our Savior, 81, ,00l
was given in Rome for Spanish sheep

these fine.wool sheep were all swept
away; but they remained in Spain.
They were cultivated by the Moors in
the mountains of Spain, which we're
almost inaccessible, and not reached
by the hordes of Huns and other north
ern barbarians, which had laid waste
the greater portion of the Roman pos
sessions. They continued to be nour-
ished there by the Moors, who were
very much advanced in arts, and fur
ther on were found there as the Spanish
merino. So that the Spanish merino
which we now have, if not the only, is
at all events by far the most important
relic that we have to-day which has
come down TO us from Greek and Ro-
man material civilization. We have
here a direct inheritance from the ma
terial wealth of the old world civiliza-
