stranger, said the stage driver,
this was how l found out our speed:
I was driving along the railroad track
just as a big load of hotel furniture
started. The freight car wouldn't hold
it all, but they managed to squeeze every
thing in except long bar mirror, which
they tied to the side of the car. The
mare saw her reflection in the glass,
and thought it was another horse spurt-
ing for the lead. You couldn't have held,
her back with a steam windlass. She
Just laid back her ears and snorted along
like twenty-inch shell. The passengers
all began to get excited. They rushed
out on the platforms and began to make
bets. The conductor stood upon seat
and began to sell pools. The engineer
pulled the throttle valve wide open, and
tore along, at the rate of ninety-five
miles an hour. Soon the mare was
abreast of the cowcatcher At San Bruno
we had half mile the lead. Near the
Six Mile House the train was so much
ahead of time that it fell through an
open draw and everlastingly smashed up
Us killed and 1879 wounded. 1t was
pretty rough on the passengers, but then
we distanced the train, bet your life.
About month after 1 sold that mare to
her present owner for $6O,OOO."

One of the most important results of
the trip of the steamer Yukon to the
coast of Alaska last Autumn, under
charge of commander w. H. Dali, was
the determination of the boundary line
between Russia and the United States.
According to the treaty, this boundary
line should pass between the two Dio-
mede Islands without touching either.
Commander Dali made landing on Big
Diomede Island and had short but
satisfactory set of observations, which
showed that the boundary line, as de.
fined by treaty, does actually pass be.
tween the two islands. These islands
are. granite domes rising in the center
of Behring's Straits, their sides almost
perpendicular from the action OF the sea,
and without beaches. A few gullies II
the granite bluffs give access to a broker
tableland on the top. There is q NATIVE
village on each island. The Diomedel
are frequented by millions Of birds, ant
seal and walrus are also captured by tn
natives.

The Way to Handle Sheep

There is right way and wrong
way, d hard way and an easy way, an
awkward way ana a ski.lful way, tc
catch and handle sheep. A great
many men will catch the sheep by the
wool on the back with both hands
and lift the animal clear from the
ground by the wool only. Barbar-
Gus I! Let some great giant grasp you
by the hair only! Would you not
struggle and squirm worse than the
mute sheep does when lifted by the
wool? And would there not be a
complaint of Il sore head for week
or two? If you do not believe it, try
the experiment. We have slaughter
ed great many sheep in years
past, and when, removing the
pelts of such sheep as had been handI-
ed by the wool, we never failed to OBJ
serve that beneath the skin, wherever
the animal had been csnght by the
wool, blood had settled. In many
instances the skin had bean separated
from the body so that inflammation was
apparent. We have known lroprie-
tors of sheppto be so strict in regard to
handling them that they would order
helper from the premises it he we've
to catch sheep by the wool ON any
part OF the body. Some owners of
sheep direct their helpers thus:-
"Wben about to catch a sheep, move
carefully toward the one 10 be taken,
until you are suficieutly near to
spring quickly and seize the beast by
both hadns, 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
be a heavy one, let one hand and
wrist be put around. the NECK, and the
arm pressed against the Leg" We
have always handled sheep in the way |
alluded TO. We never grasp the
wool. Others seize the sheep by
hind leg, then throw one around the
body and take hold of the brisket
with one hand. But ewes with lambs
should never b. caught by the bind
legs, unless they are handled with ex-
treme Gaze. When sheep sre handled
roughly especially It their wool is
pulled, the small bruises and injuries
will rem Ter them more wild and diff
cult to handle.

blanket or skin and cut hole in
the middle of it and throw it over
their heads, cutting. arm holes and
fastening the garment at the waist
witna wide belt, while they close up
the neck with buckskn string.
When the garment wears out they
