Sheep That Dive From Cliff.

ScrIbner for May. W
John Muir, the naturalist of the Sier-
"a, writing of the wild sheep of the
Sierra and of their well authenticated
habit of diving from precipices and
alighting on their horns, relates the fol-
lowing anecdote. -.,,'-
':At the base of Sheep Rock, one of
the winter strongholds of the Shasta
fOcks, there lives q stock-raiser who has
the advantage of observing the move
ments of wild sheep every winter; and.
in the course of conversation with him
on the subject of their diving habits, he
pointed to the front of a lava headland
about hundred and fifty feet high,
which is only eight or ten degrees out
of the perpendicular. There, said he,
i followed band of them fellows to
the back of that rock yonder, and ex-
pected to capture them all, for I thought
l had q dead thing on them. got be-
hind them on . narrow bench that runs
along the face of the wall near the top
and comes to an end where they could
not get away without falling and being
killed; but they JUMPED off, and landed
all right. as if that were the regular
thing with them" s+,s't -. -

Rules for Living.

I am no doctor, quack, or pill vender,

Keep in the sunlight just as much as
possible. A plant will not thrive with
out the sunbeam, much less man.
Breathe as much fresh air rs your

Too Transparent.

It is reported. says The Feuilleton,
that Miss Fanny Davenport is about to
throw Cinderella and the never-to-be-
forgotten slipper in the shade by APP
pearing in dress of glass. If the re-
port is true one, and the scheme car
ried out in full detail, and the police do
not get hold of the matter, the first ap-
pearance will be an event such as the
stage has long been a stranger to. Tho
secret of underclothing, which has long
exercised the morbid curiosity of a pOr-
ton of the public, will be secret no
longer; the impertinent female reporter
need no longer stand as q middleman
between an actress minor details of
wardrobe and her admirers. A charm
ing robe of cut glass (unless it be un-
fortunately colored glass; will probably
give critics better and clearer insight
into Miss Davenport methods than one
can enjoy under the present system.
Doubtless such dress will not only add
largely to the brilliancy of her repre-
sentations, but will also add to her fame
as an actress, from the fact that the au-
dicnce will see far more of her acting
than heretofore. 1t is eminently fit that
the work of the age-carpenter and
scene painter should be aided and sup
plemented by the efforts of the glass
blower, whose peculiar calling should
have its place upon the best of all ad-
vertising places, the stage. s.t.
But Miss Anna Dickinson says it is
not proper. and she will not wear such
raiment even if it gets to be fashionable,
which she very much doubts. She af-
firms on her honor that she should con-
slider the exposure of person consequent
upon taking the part of Claude to be
much less embarrassing to per-
son of delicate organization. And when
Miss Dickinson says she won't do .
thing We al know she means it.

Shootinf Whalea

. The modern improvements In tho
whale fishery are As remarkable as in
other industries, though not so gener-
ally known. One of the most note
worthy of these is the javelin- bomb, an
account Of which Mr.. Voy of San Fran
cisco has lately sent to 'tLa Nature" !"
It consists of metallic cylinder ter
minated by q cylindrical bomb, at the
end of which is rod with very sharp,
barbed point. This projectile is sent
off by means of a kind of arquebus rested
on thin vertical support, and on the
shoulder of the man who fires. At the
moment of firing, q small screen rises
automatically. to protect the mans per-
son. and the projectile goes off. The
latter is attached behind to cord which
it draws out with it. If the shot be q
good one the projectile enters the body
of the whale, and the shell then ex-
plodes, causing piece OF iron to open
out. so as to form a kind of double hook,
by which the whale is held. The pro-
jectile is generally fired from a rowing
boat. The instrument is powerful
one. In some instances the projectile
could be driven eight metres, in which
case it and the cord drawn would weigh
not less than one hundred kilograms.
Mr.. Voy describes q striking incident in
which large, yellow-bellied whale Ga
kind very rarely attacked on account of
its tremendous viger) was shot at
from a small five-tOn steamer when
quite near. The projectile went right
through part of the body, and exploded
beyond. The whale was attached, how
ever, by the cord, and it dragged the
steamer four consecutive hours. at
speed sometimes of sixteen kilometers
an hour, though the engine was reversed.
Sunset came. and the whale being still
lively, the cord was cut.

Discoveries at Pompeii.

One of the most interesting features
of the excavations in this buried city is
the discovery of many homely domestic
articles of which we have counterparts.
1t is astonishing how many things in
common use now were in common use
then. You will see almost every kitchen
utensil. portable cooking-stoyes, jelly
cake and butter-molds in the imitation
of birds and flowers, pots, kettles. cups
and saucers. crooks, dishes, spoons,
knives and forks, dippers. skimmers,
sauce-pans,z frying-pans, lamps. lamp
stands, flesh hooks, and braziers Tor
charcoal. Pretty much every kitchen,
diring-room or chamber article found
in modern use entered into Roman
daily life. All the articles of a lady's
toilet, including iewelry of all kinds.
gold and silver ornaments, corals and
precious stones, were found in the
houses of Pompeii. Taken from the
retail shops We're steel-yards, balances,
weights and measures. From a DOCTORS
office was recovered II full set of surgi-
cal implements, including ''pulikins"
for extracting teeth, and trepans for
drilling holes in the skull. There are
any number of shoemaker. tailor, ear
penter and blacksmith tools, and, in
deed, implements for almost every me-
chanical operation.

Beans as Food for Sheen.

People who are keeping sheep in the
West, especially those who are located
on or near the great plains, would do
well to experiment in raising field beans
for food during the fall and winter
Beans do better on poor and dry soils
than almost any other crop that is raised
for stock. BY planting the seed rs soon
as danger from frosts is over the crop
can be matured before the droughts oc-
cur. The value of beans for sheep has
been acknowledged by all who have fed
them out. They contain a very large
amount of nitrogen, which adds to the
formation of flesh. They constitute the
most concentrated food that is fed to
stock with the exception of oil cake or
cotton seed. The amount of nutriment
contained i'm beans is remarkable. The
owners of mines in South America COM
pei their workmen to eat Il ration of
beans every two or three days whether
ages are very fond of beans, and will eat
them in preference to any kind of food
offered them. They may be raised to
good advantage on inverted sod by SOW
ing the seed broadcast and covering it
with harrow. They may be raised in
the same manner on old ground that is
free from grass and weeds. 1t is bet
ter, however, to plant them in drills and
to work the ground between them with
a cultivator. Beans should not be cul-
tivated when the vines are wet with
rain or dew, as disturbing the leaves at
these times causes them to rust. When
mature, the vines should be pulled from
the ground, partially dried in the sun.
and then placed under cover or in small
stacks. A stack for beans can be made
by driving three stakes into the ground
about three feet apart SO as to form the
corners of triangle. The stakes should
incline outward SO they will be about
four feet apart at the top. A support
for the vines can be made by tying
withes or cords about the stakes foot
or more above the surface of the ground.
The vines should be crowded between
the stakes with their roots toward the
inside. The stakes when completed
should be egg shaped. The top may be
covered with long grass or straw SO it
will completely she'd rain. The beans
can be threshed at any time they are
wanted with hand fail. 1t is not ne
cessary to thresh them for sheep, as
they will eat the entire pods and leaves
that remain on the vines. .r
