The sheep Of Thibst.

The sheep OF Thibet, which are very
numerous, are chiefly small variety Of
the fat-rumped Persian and Abyssinian,
with black heads and necks. Some are
hairy, with short wool underneath, while
others bear a long, soft and fine wool.
1t is from the latter that many of the
costly Indian shawls are made. Not q
little of this peculiar wool finds itway to
British India, and is there manufactured.
This breed is found in its purest state in
the deserts of Great Tartary; no other
variety being near to contaminate its
blood. 1t reaches far into the interior
and northern parts of Russia and is
much disseminated in China, Persia,
Hindostan, Asia Minor and eastern AZ
RIGA as well as Thibet. In Palestine it is
more numerous than any other breed;
indeed the largest proportion of the sheep
of northern Asia being of this descrip-
ton. Professor Pallas conjectures that
this character. arises in the fat-rumped
sheep from their feeding upon the bitter
and saline plants found upon the borders
of the Caspian and Black seas. And
he asserts that when they are
removed from the places where
these plants grow the fatty excrescence
becomes less. But Garfield says, as
the fat-rumped and fat-tailed sheep are
varieties which are widely dispersed, it
seems more probable that they may have
been produced by accident, and may
also have been perpetuated by accident.
design or fancy. The fat-tailed sheep il
very extensively dilfused; it il found
throughout Asia and rgreat part of At
RIGA, as well as through the northern
parts Of Europe. They differ. like other
sheep. in the nature of their covering. In
Madagascar, and in some other hot eli
mates, they are hair; at the Cape Of Good
Hope they ara covered with coarse wool;
in the Levant their wool Is extremely
fine. The proportion which the weight
of the tail in some Of these sheep bears
to the whole caIcase il quite remarkable.
The usual dressed weight Of the sheep
is from fifty to sixty pounds. Of which
the tail Il said TO make moro than one
fourth part. Russell describes two breeds
offattailed sheep about Aleppo; in one
the deposit Of caudal fat is moderate. in
the other sort the tail is much larger.
The unctuous fat of the tails of these
sheep is accounted great delicacy alike

The British Postal Savings Bank.

The postal savings bank is not intended
TO be = general bank of deposit, but
rather for those who have little to de-
posit, and who wish safety first and profit
afterward. Less than twenty-five cents
is not taken. but plan has recently been
adopted by which an equivalent of penny
deposits is allowed, though such depos-
its must amount to twenty-five cents be-
fore it is entered on the depositor's book.
Each deposition must certify that he has
no deposits in any similar institution.
More than $50 will not be received in
any one year, and no deposits can be
made beyond $3.50 for one person. In
terost to the amount Of two and ONE
half per cent. is allowed, and when pnn-
cipal and interest both amount to 81 900
interest also ceases.
That Is the utmost sum that can stand
