Not too Large Fl0cks.

Experience has proved with sheep, as
with fowls, that it is not wise to keep
too many together. One man who has
had a trial Of the keeping Of sheep SAYS
that out of a flock of l 100 head that he
was interested in he lost in one winter
548 head, while his loss in flocks of from
800 to 500 head did not average two per
cent. When sheep run in large flocks,
every sheep must travel over more
ground to obtain its food than when
small focks are kept together, and as
that ground is usually travelled over
daily, the less the numbers are the bet
ter it will be for the sheep, even if the
pastures are ever so good. For the best
success, even if you have ten thousand
sheep, keep them in separate focks Of
about 200 to the flock.-Saa Frgncisco

Toast.

Tea and toast is almost a national dish
in England. No American can have
any idea of the goodness of English toast
unless he was ''brung up to it, as the
darkey was to baked possum. In order
to make good toast you must first catch
your bread there are two kinds to make
toast of, the oven-baked homemade
bread and the bakers loaf. The toast
is not made as with us by slapping it
over the Goals on hot wire toaster
where it browns hit or miss, nor is it
laid on the top of the cooking stove; no,
it is put on toasting fork and held be-
fore red-hot fire, and it browns quickly
without drying up the center. 1t is then
buttered on both sides, and as each
slice is toasted it is laid on the other
until there is a pyramid of large
slices. Then the pile is cut through
twice and it is covered and kept hot un-
til taken to table. The youngsters of
the family are usually helped to the top
slices, the elders to the center pieces, as
they have no end crust, and as the pile
diminishes each piece is found to be
richer and better, the steam and melted
butter making It soft and tender, and
the flavor being indescribably good.
This is English buttered toast. The
next favorite is dry toast, which is cut
in thin slices, and is rather crisp. 1t is
buttered as it is eaten, and dipped in
morning coffee is very palatable. An
English breakfast table is never without
toast and eggs. Buttered toast is a staple
dish for home teas, and taken in connec-
ton with rich golden preserves-the
English abominate canned fruits-just
moistened with cream, it is not bad.
Another tempting dish when well
made is milk toast. This is sometimes
called by courtesy cream toast, but it is
seldom that cream is used. A cup of
butter is added to the milk, and enough
-four to make it of the consistency of
cream, with a heaping tablespoonful of
pulverized sugar, will make good
liquid for the purpose. The fault with
milk toast is that it is generally reduced
to sop, and fit only for infants or inva-
lids. The slices of toast should be firm
and whole when served, and if properly
made will be so.-Det1oit Post and
Tribune.

Tony Pastor in Trouble.

Tony Pastor, of New York, who is now with
his inimitable variety combination, making
tour of the principal cities OF the Union, is
recognized as the leading character vocalist
and variety performer of the United States.
He owns and runs frst-class theater on
Broadway, New York City, and has gathered
about him the best troupe of variety artists
that could be obtained. The company has
lust competed brilliant engagement at the
Walnut Street Theater, Philadelphia, and aft
er the present tour they will reappear in Tony
Pastors own theater in New York City. Mr.
Pastor is the originator of his peculiar school
Of character singing, and has made himself
immensely popular, having realized by his
talents a large fortune.
The writer of this article met Mr. Pastor re-
Gently at the Bingham House, in Philadelphia,
and found him as genial in private as he is
amusing before the public. During our con
versation inquired as to his physical health,
and he replied that, Notwithstanding the
strain upon him in the discharge of his pro-
fessional duties, it was excellent. He had oc-
casionally severe pains, either the result OF
rheumatic attacks or colds but any complaints
of that character never troubled him long, as
he had found out remedy for all such annoy
ing affections | asked him what the remedy
was, and he replied, "St. Jacobs OIL" then
learned from Mr. Pastor that he considered
the Great German Remedy an excellent prepa-
ration for the cure or relief Of rheumatism,
and that it was about the only thing used
among professional people for that distressing
complaint He took bottles of it with him
whenever he went travelling, and would not be
without it, and knew that it was very popular
with number of members of his own COM
pany. conversation held subsequently with
various members of the organization revealed
the fact that st. Jacobs On had been perform
ing most invaluable service for them in the
way of curing them of rheumatism. Nearly
every artist In the troupe used it, and was en-
thusiastic in its praise, and the writer was
really forced to the conclusion that Tony
Pastor was certainly in luck in having so valu-
able an article known and employed by his
inimitably good company of performers, for it
enabled every one to be always in his place,
thus insuring comfort to the management and
genuine satisfaction to the public. Tony
Pastor would certainly be in trouble without
st. Jacobs Oil At least, other managers
whose artists have been temporarily unsup-
piled, have noticed the difference between St.
Jacobs Oil in stock and st. Jacobs Oil out Of
stock-among the members of their compa-
nies.-N. Y Clipper.

1t is believed that the Central Pa
cific Oakland ferry depot, which was
formally opened with public ball not
long since, is the longest of any in
the world. The train sheds on either
side are 660 feet long. The two open
sheds at the sides are each $50 feet long.
The total represents the original esti-
mated length of the whole building.
But to these were added two thirty-feet
sheds, or, as they are termed in railroad
phraseology, "bents,' SO that the total
length of the depot building is close
upon 1, 100 feet. The breadth is 240
feet. The mole is $3.50 feet long from
the Oakland shore. For a distance of
$500 feet it is wide enough to carry four
railroad tracks and carriage-way, or a
width of about one hundred feet; thence
to the end of the mole it increases to
width of 280 feet. 1t is estimated at
the offices of the Central Pacific Rail-
road Company that over one million
cubic yards of earth, gravel and rock
have been used in the construction Of
the mole.

Harrison as a sensational revival
preacher in the West. His meetings
attract crowds in Louisville. His bottle

able. He can make his audience roar
with his comical mimicry or weep by
his pathos. Again, he carries their feel

for an immortal soul,'' he exclaimed,
indicating his by no means robust
physique, "but have in this breast the

Lake Glazier.

The new-fonnd source of the Missis-
sippi is sparkling little gem of a lake,
situated above and beyond Lake Itaska.
1t nestles among the pines of an unfre-
quented and wild region of Minnesota,
many miles from the nearest white set
tlement, and just on the dividing ridge
which forms the great watershed of
North America. Within few miles OF
it can be found lakes and streams whose
waters are tributary to the Red River Of
the North and the Yellowstone, thus
reaching the sea thousands of miles from
the mouth of the mighty Mississippi,
which flows in a trickling brook from
Lake Glazier. This lake, discovered to
be the source of the greatest river in the
world by Captain Willard Glazier on
the 22d of July, 1881, is about mile
and half in greatest diameter, and
would be nearly round in shape but for
a single promontory, whose rocky shores
give it in outline the shape of heart.
The waters of the lake are exceedingly
clear and pure, coming from springs,
some being at the bottom, but the three
most prominent rise few miles back in
low, wet land, and flow into the lake in
little rills. On the very point of the
promontory is spring whose waters
are as cold as ice, and at which Captain
Glaciers weary party slaked their thirst
while exploring the shores of the new
lake. So lonely is the region around the
lake that for fourteen days not even a
red-skin was seen, and, wearied by the
hardships of this rough country, yet
with feeling of having added some
thing to geographical knowledge, Cap
tain Glazier and his party were glad,
indeed, to come into contact again with
their fellow-crea ures.-Dubuque Herald.

4 Remarkable Story.

Mr.. L, G. Salisbury, Of this city, has
received letter from Miss Cora Lee, OF
Butte, Montana, which contains infortna-
ton of remarkable statement. The writer
is the daughter Of Wn1. C. Lee, a former
we'll known resident Of Minneapolis. After
stating that his health is much better than
it has been for some time, she says that
about one month since her father was
awakened from his sleep one night by an
unpleasant sensation in bis throat. Feel
ing in his mouth for the cause, he pulled
therefrom live snake eight inches long,
and as big as his little finger. The reptile
lived for more than an hour, and when dis.
turbed would show fight. Dir. Lee thinks
he took the snake into his stomach five
years ago while in the employment OF the
government in the Yellowstone region.

zDaseardEy Crime.

On the morning of the 3Oth u1t. near the
Colorado smelter, in Butte, blazing
building awakened the neighborhood at
four o'clock. Says the Inter 4Aountain:
at was supposed that a fire caused as
usual by a pure accident was raging, and
as there seemed to be no danger to city
property, but few Of our citizens visited
the scene of excitement Those who did
90, however, came back with bianehed
cheeks and the story Of an appalling crime
upon their lips. With expressions of horror
it was related to eager listeners that
William Busch, who is well known in
Butte, and whose wife has lately been
keeping boarding and lodging house
near the Colorado smelter, had set. fire to
the tenement, shot down in cold blood his
ten-year old son, and terminated his terri
BILE crime by adding to it another, that of
suicide. The CHASTITY tale was too true,
and ever since the perpetration Of the aW-
ful act, the entire population Of Butte has
been discussing the affair In all its posi-
BILE phases"
Intoxication and trouble with his wife,
are the alleged provocations of Busch's
crimes.
:erhe coroner's jury, after a long and
careful deliberation, brought in two ver-
diets, stating their belief that the boy came
to his death from pistol shots fired by the
hand Of his father, and that Busch came to
his death in manner unknown to the
jury, but believed to be by his own hands. {"
