increase in number. Sometimes the
fabrics were ruined by The acids. and
sometimes the colors would run togcth-
err and produce the most disastrous re-
suits. Thousands and thousands Of

were then considered small fortunes
were more than once lost in this way.
Amasa Spraguc, however, was not TO
be foiled, aud he determined TO go TO
Europe TO see how the business was
done there. This was before the DAYS
of steam navigation, and TO cross the
Atlantic involved voyage of months,
instead of days or weeks. The intrcpid
man packed his little valisc and started.

Performance of a somnambulist.

A curious psychological study is af-
forded by the case of young lad of
fourteen years, whose performances
when asleep are certainly marvellous.
The lads name is Martin Frobischer,
and it is said of him that from his ear
lest boyhood he has been the subject of
somnambulism. He has a decided tai
ent for drawing, in which art he has
lately become quite interested. This
exercise has taken such o hold upon the
bows mind that he rises in the night in
completely unconscious state. and will
continue to work on an unfinished piece
of drawing with as much skill and dex-
terity as though he were awake. The
other night he got up and drew head
from east which he had drawn on pa
per during the previous day, on the wall
Of his chamber. In conversation with
thesboy's father, the latter said, II can
understand how somnambulistic sub
ieet can go through certain mechanical
motions, but it is inconceivable to me
how the boy is able to draw with such
perfect attention TO every detail-to put
expression into an eye, for instance, and
spirit into face. He exhibited some
very clever drawings by the boy, par
tally done, as he declared, while the
little fellow was in this remarkable con-
stiition. He is very DESTROYS that the
case should have the light of scientific
investigation

Keep the Best Sheen,

The flock owner who would constant
ly advance the standaS:1 of his flock,
must adhere to the selfish rule of look
ing out for him. He must weed out the
least desirable animals, for the sham
bles or for sale to who choose to buy,
and keep the best results of his breed
ing and purchases. Where his sur
roundings are such as to limit the num-
Der of animals that can be profitably
handled, but a few years need elapse be-
fore comparatively high standard can
be attained, and this still further adj
.vanced by a rigid wedding. out of less
desirable members of the flock, and
holding on to the best in spite of the
temptations of long prices for parting
with them. Many of the most success
full breeders make it rule to Gull out
and sell certain number of sheep each
year, supplying their places from
choice of lambs. This not only adds to
the flock the latest results of breeding,
but also serves to keep its number good
from young animals, competent to with
stand such accidental hardships as may
overtake them. and from which may
reasonably be expected the best re-
Spouse to liberal feeding and intelligent
manipulation.
