More Sheep Wanted.

While there are SO many choice
horses and blooded stock being i'm.
ported into the State, we hear no
account of sheep being introduced.
With the exception Of a few splen.

spring b. r. c. Judson, Esq, of
Pennington, there is no record as ia,
as we know of any of our enterpris-
ing stock breeders bestowing any
attention to the important industry
of wool growing in the shape Of
bringing into our midst from abroad
improved and thoroughbred sheep.
The fact is, we want more sheep.
Every farmer should have flock.
The cost of producing mutton and
wool in Minnesota is less than in
most any other western state. The
butchers inform us that the demand
for mutton this summer is much
above the supply. A St. Paul butcher
has recently been obliged to go all
the way to Canada to purchase NUT.
ton for the St. Paul market. This
should not be. We have every facili.
ty for producing our own mutton.

The eastean papers contain lengthy
accounts of man at Allentown, Pa,
by the name Of John Gyumber, who
has slept 125 successive days and
nights, and is still enjoying his pro-
tracted slumber despite every effort
made to awaken him. He is insensi.
BILE to both pain and sound. A re.
volver fired within an inch of his ear
has no effect upon his nerves of hear
ing, and he is said to be as insensible
to the prick Of pin as an Egyptian
mummy, yet he breathes regularly.
The man is Supposed to be in trance.
and all his nejghbors are exceedingly
anxious to have him awake and tell
them what he has been dreaming
about all the time. If he ever does
awake he will probably have new
revelation and become the founder of
a new religion.

About Passes.

The Northern Pacific people In
their efforts to correct the abuses OF
the pass system are liable to carr!
their restrictions entirely too far:
On Tuesday an application for a pas.
for member of tie family Of one Of
the principal officers of the Coulson
line was refused, and that, too, after
holding the application from Stature
day until Tuesday, thus offending by
inattention as we'll rs by refusing, an
interest that has lost thousands Of
dollars in it's efforts to drive from the
| Union Pacific to the North Pacific
the immense trade of dfcntana. The
North Pacific is not yet in position to
! offend the great interests that have
worked so persistently to help build
mp it's business and develop the re-
sources of the country through which
| it passes. The couftesjes heretofore
extended the military, including the
half fare rates granted soldiers who
have been on duty guarding their
surveying parties, have been WITH
drawn. There are abuses in the past
system that ought to be corrected;
but there is service done by the
press and by connecting lines Of
steam boats and stages, and OCCASION
allv bv individuals, that cannot be
measured in dollars and cents, and in
correcting evils the Northern Pacific
people have gone beyond all lines in
the country. The promise Of an i'm
mense crop was never better than
to-day, and when the harvest comes
every inducement ought to be offered
men of means to look over the country
to induce members Of the press to
visit and write up the fields of grow
ing grain, and show to the world the
immense advantages Of this region:
It is way of advertising that is most
effective, and costs comparatively
little compared with the returns it
brings.-Bismurck Tribune:

Summer Blankets for Horses

Blanketing horses in summer has
now become an acknowledged neces-
sity, and light blankets and nets are
now an important portion of. the
harness-makers' stock. The material
used for these are brown and bleached
linen, flannel and light cotton duck;
muslin sheets are also used, but thse
as well as those made of duck, are
not popular. Linen and flannel are
the faverite goods. They cost more
but are durable and look we'll; twilled
braid is used for binding and joining,
and some of the finer qualities have
monograms or the names of the
horses worked on them with very
narrow braid of the same shade as
the binding. Every farmers wife
can make them and they add so much
comfort to the horse during "Ay time'
and cost so little that every farmer
can afford to have them. Buffalo
gxats, mosquitoes, the horse-hy and
other blood-sucking insects worry the
poor animals to a very great extent
when they have no blankets on them.

Who Should Keep Bees.

All that possess rod square of land
should keep bees, and even if that rod
is not possessed, they can still be kept.
We know of many who do not own
land and still keep bees. Persons re-
siding in the country--it matters not
whether they are farmers, lawyers,
preachers, doctors, or mechanics--all
should keep them. Many persons
who are in poor health and unfit fol-
hard labor, will make good bee-keep'
ers, and at the same time make a
good deal of money 10y doing So
They will find it a healthy and pleas
ant outdoor pastime. There is this
one great advantage about bee-keep
ing: It is no difference whether {
foot of land is owned or not, if thu
party is in home, there is always
free pasture for the bees. 1t cost.

For E. STINEH1oUR, -
The Russellville Democrat., 1881-04-21

and from Austria and Switzerland In his brochure on the subject he published two tables, one to show the increase or decrease of thunder storms since 1854
 since 1862 and since 1870 in tLsa di.sfent
 regions, the other taSS increase or de- crease of lightning estimated from comparison of the number of lightning strokes on houses with the entire num- Der of houses. It appears, that while any increase in the number of thunder storms is extremely small, and there F. in some cases even a decrease, the light ning-risk shows very large increase, and in no case decrease. Thus the in- crease of risk from lightning must be re- garded as not due, unless in very slight measure, to meteorological influences. This appears more distinctly in that the increase of lightning-risk is proportion ally greater as the compared years are further apart; but it is not so with the increase of thunder storms (which, e. g., is less since 1854 than 1892. To explain the increased risk by telluric changes, Herr Holtz supposes the clearance of forest land has to do with it; perhaps, also, the increase of railways, both of these bringing thunder storms more to towns and villages. Another probable cause is the increased use of metal in house construction.

woman's "Social Standing"

The following story is told by a cor respondent of the New York Tribune About year ago a lady from the coun- try, in conversation with one from Brooklyn, was surprised to find mani fest disposition to frown upon women who receive salaries. The conversation ran upon church singers, their merit and social standing, the country lady being interested in a young friend about to take place in city choir. Said the lady from Brooklyn: We never meet our church singers in society, in our church parlors or anywhere. 1 suppose they have society of their own, singers and musicians, and keep strictly by themselves, but l have never met or spoken to our soprano any more than to our sexton's wife or daughter" Where upon the country lady answered with some warmth, "If that is the way you treat well-bred, educated young ladies who, either from choice or necessity, sing in your churches, l will see that no friend of mine goes there to be snubbed. The probability is that you have not many ladies in your church parlors who are her equal in intelligence or common sense, to say nothing of musical attain ments." A few weeks after that un- pleasant encounter came the announce ment of an engagement of marriage be- tween the son of the Brooklyn lady and this same little despised and rejected soprano.

The Steam Power of the World.
Journal of Chemistry.

Mir. Ruskin, in recent characteristic letter refusing an invitation to go to Chesterfield to attend an art exhibition, asks if the town is not "the home, the cradle, of that arch-abomination creator, Stephenson" to whom i've are indebted for the screeching and bowling and shrieking fiends, fit only for a pande- monium, called locomotives, that disfig- ure the loveliest spots of Gods own land" But the iron horse is good creature, in spite of Ruskin's denuncia- tions, and not unpoetical withal to those who can look at the triumphs of modern science from the right point of view. Whence does the mighty machine de- rive it's energy? From the sun, the great source of mechanical power. The an- cient conception of the chariot of Php- bus, with it's fiery steeds which none but their divine master could guide-as the rash Phethon learned by fatal experi- ence-was eminently poetical and beau- tiful; but the locomotive is in very truth one of the horses of the sun. Its strength and speed are born of the sunbeams that fostered the vegetable growth of an epoch long before the creation of man. The actinic force of the sunbeams, stored up in those ancient plants until they were converted into coal, is awakened from its sleep of ages in the form of heat and furnishes the motive power of MT. Ruskin's "shrieking fiend." But the fiends are the "sons of darkness" while this, as we have seen, is the offspring of the sun-an "angel of light" rather than of darkness.
 But we took our pen not to illustrate ''the poetry of science" but to record certain plain, dry facts concerning the steam power of the world, lately pub lished by German statistican. Ac- cording to him, four-fifths of the steam engines now at work have been made within a quarter of 8 century or so. Ot locomotives in the old and the newworld there are more than hundred thousand -verily, a fearful army of demons, if Ruskin were right! Their total force is equal to thirty million horsepower, and all the other steam engines on the globe are estimated at forty-six million horse- power. But the technical "horse-power" is really equal to three average horses, and each horse to about seven men. The aggregate power of all the engines is therefore vastly more than the effective force of all the human workers living. The steam vessels of the world are esti- mated to be about fourteen thousand in number, with tonnage of nearly five million tons

In 1869 Herr von Bezold inferred from observations in Bavaria that there was an increase from year to year in the number of buildings struck by tighten ing. There seemed to be also an increase in the number of thunder storms, and this was assigned as the cause. A little later, observations (by others) in Saxony and Schleswig. Holstein also showed an increase In the number of houses struck, but no comparison was made with the number of thunder storms. Herr Holtz has lately made fuller inquiry on the basis of data from all parts of Germany
