How to Sheer Sheep,

l see an inquiry about how to
sheer sheep, and as l am an expe-
rienced sheep shearer, l will give my
way. Take piece of oil cloth about
S tx feet square and tack the sides
down on the floor loose enough to
permit a sufficient amount of cut hay,
or even straw, to be stuffed under It,
to make a cushion, then tack the
fourth side down. This makes a nice.
clean, soft place to shear on; provide
yourself with a good, bright, highly
polished pair of Offset shears, that is
a shear that the blade set down from
the hand-hold, 4~7 ,li t.
Set the sheepup with its belly to-
ward you, then commence at the
foretop and sheer down around the
head, and neck, and strip one shoul-
der, and turn and shear down the
other shoulder, and side, and belly,
and one hind leg all along to the
back bone, and turn over and shear
down the other side, keeping the
sheep in a sitting position most of
the time. Inturning the sheep let
the head hang over one, knee, and
then the other, in easy position for
sheep and shearer when you want
the hind leg Strengthened out do, not
take hold OF the leg with your hand but
put your thumb on the stihe joint as it
is called in horses, and press back
the leg will straighten out smooth,
and the sheep will hold still, but if
you take hold of the leg and under
take to put it out straight, the sheep
will kick and struggle. Keep the
sheep in such a position that the
skin will be tight all the time where
you are shearing; do not pull the wool
down as that pulls the skin up, and
you will cut it, but pull the skin up
and bend the sheep so the surface
you are shearing over will be as smooth
as possible. Never tie a sheep, and do
not use any violence toward them.
When you catch sheep take hold
around the body; do not catch hold
of the wool on the back and drag
them to the place Of shearing; of
course this way will be new to many,
and you Will think at first that it
will be almost impossible to shear
this way, but stick to the directions
given here, and in a short time you
will become an expert if you can ever
learn. Some men can never learn to
be fast shearers. can shear a pound
of wool minute off good sheep

At q certain professors" artificial leg.
am, nose, and eyebrow pfactory yesterday
a number of young women were working
at small tables, each table covered with lit
tie instruments and things. the like OF
which L had never seen before. At one
table two girls were threading needles
with fine, silky hair, and sewing them In
little squares IN thin, transparent gauze.
These girls, said the Professor, esare
making some of those beautiful arched
eyebrows you may sometimes see in ball
rooms. These sewed on the net are the
less expensive kind, and are only used on
special occasions The real brow is very
expensive. and can only be made by per-
son of great skill"
L begged him to explain the operation
OF giving person eyebrows who was born
without them. and, leading me into an
elegantly furnished parlor in which was a
large dentists chair, he continued
The patient sits here. In this cushion
to my left are stuck a score or so of those
needles you saw being threaded. Each
stitch leaving two strands of hair, to facili-
tate the operation number of needles
must be at hand. AS each thread of hair
is drawn through the skin over the eye it
is cut SO that when the first stage of the
operation is over it leaves The hair brist-
ing out an inch or so, representing rag
ged, porcupine appearance. Now comes
the artistic work. The brow must be
arched and cut down with the utmost deli
caCy, aud a number of hours is required
to do it"
1T must be very painful and tedious?"
They can't say it is picnic excursion, -
laughed the professor; 'but eyebrows.
small as they are, are very important in
the make up of the face. You have no
ilea how odd one looks when utterly de-
nuded of hair over the eyes. The process
have described is painful. but it makes
good eyebrows and adds 100 per cent to
the looks of a person who was without
them. 1t is. too, much better than the
hlackening and cosmetics so many people
use especially people who have mere pres:
ence of brows comprising only a few col
orless hair"
