Women are deeply in debt to Shak-
speare for the lovely, the noble things
he has put into his women's hearts and
mouths, but surely for nothing more
than for the words in which Juliet's re-
ply is couched. Only one who knew of
what true woman is capable in frank
ness, in courage, and self surrender
when her heart is possessed by noble
love, could have touched with such deli
cacy, such infinite charm of mingled re-
serve and artless franSness, the ayowal
of so fervent yet SO modest love, the
secret of which had been SO strangely
stolen from her. As the whole scene is
the nobIest pan to love ever written, SO
is what Juliet now says supreme in
subtlety of feeling and expression, where
all is beautiful Watch all the fuctua-
tions of emotion which peryade it and
you will understand what task is laid
upon the actress to interpret them, not
in voice and tone only. important as
these are, but also in manner and in
action. The generous frankness of the
giving, the timid drawing back. fearful
of having given too much unsought; the
perplexity of the whcle are all summed
up in that sweet entreaty for pardon with
which it closes.

Tar the Noses Of sheep.

The months of July and August are
the ones when the sheep IN many lcca1i-
ties are subject to most aggravating an
noyances from fly called the sHstrus
bowls, which seems bound to deposit its
Larvae In the nostrils. 1t iufests wooded
districts and shady places where the
sheep resort for shelter and by its cease
less attempts to enter the nostrils makes
the sheep almost frantic. IF but one fly
is in flock they become aggitated and
alarmed. They will assemble in groups
holding their heads together and their
noses close to the ground. As they hear
the buzzing of the little pests going
from one to another they will crowd
their muzzles into the loose dirt made
by their stamping to protect themselves.
As the pest succeeds in entering the nose
of the victim it will start on
run followed by the whole flock to
find q retreat from his enemy, throwing
his hcad from sids To side as if in
the greatest agony, while the Hstrns
having gained his lodging place deposits
his larvae in the inner margin of the
nose. Here aided by warmth and
moisture the eggs quickly hatch into a
small maggot which carrying out its in
stincts begins to crawl up into the nose
through crooked opening in the bone.
The annoyance is fearful and maddening
as it works its way up into the head and
cavities of the nose. The best known
remedy is tar in which is mixed small
amount of crude carbolic acid. If the
scent of the acid does not keep the fy
away he gets entangled in the tar which
is kept soft by the heat of the animal
Any kind of tar or turpentine is useful
for this purpose, and greatly promotes
the comfort of the sheep and prevents
the rayages of the fly in the head -

And girls, we three-Bill, Harry, end

afternoon; f1r at half-past five o'clock
we stood beside his grave and saw his
remains lowered into it. He had been
found dead-po poisoned-in his house in
the city, the night previous, by party
OF Englishmen, who went there to buy
some liquor. So dreadful had been the
effects of the drug, that it was necessary
to bury him at once.

A Srare 81 fhe vatican.

Not many days ago, while the Pope
was taking his usual drive in the Vatican
Gardens, q shot was heard close at hand.
The coachman no doubt still under the
impression of the late Garibaldian de-
monstrations, took fright. He whipped
up his horses, cried out "Helpi Assas
insr' and drove full speed into the court
yard of the Papal Palace, causing great
CONSERVATION among the guards, who
ran for their arms and barred the gates.
After some moments of panic and inde-
clsion the guards went in quest Of the
supposed assassin all over the Vatican
gardens, and, finding nothing, proceeded
to search on the other side of the wall at
q place where the coachman declared he
had heard the shot, They soon returned
to the palace with dead cat. The keep.
er of neighboring vineyard, whose pas
time was to rear rabbits, had just sue.
ceeded in shooting large cat winch had
often robbed him of the young ones.

England cannot treat with Arabi Bey.
The moment he begins to negotiate with
England he will lose his power. The.
English demand is that it hold the domi-
nant influence in Egypt. Arab Bey's
strength lies in his resistance to this de-
mand and his maintenance OF national
principles. There is no middle-ground
on which they can meet. England must
either whip him or give mp its absurd
claims Denver Tribune.

Arrest of Capt. Nicholson.

Since the arrival Of the Columbia
yesterday morning We learn that Capt.
Nicholson, OF the Glenelg has been
arrested at Portland for alleged viola
tion of the rules and regulatians con-
cerning tho importation o! Chinese.
Each Chinamsn is allowed so many
cubic feet and, upon measurement by
the custcm house authorities it trans
pres that but 533 passengers had
lawful accommodation on the Glenelg,
while his passenger list showed 63S.
Just where the responsibility rests is
not easy to determine. The case will
come up before Rufus Mallory for
adjudication when the facts in the
case will be brought ont. The penalty
for violation Of the laws is fine OF
$50 for each passenger SO carried in
excess of the number allowed by the
law. This would aggregate the sum
of s., $50 for which somebody will be
held liable.
