Sheep DevOurers.

The sheep-farmers of New Zealand
are in a painful state of mind in regard
to the kea, through the wickedness of
which sheep-farming is in process of
destruction. The kea is a native par
rot, sometimes as profane and vicious
as any civilized parrot. He has &C
to eat anything else. Whenever a flock
of keas discover a flock of Sheep they
fall upon the latter, loudly shrieking,
''Polly wants some mutton" and,
~perching on the backs of the unhappy
sheep, tear them to pieces.
The aggrieved sheep-farmers are now
in search of some animal that will ex-
tirpate the keas, No animal at present
residing in New Zealand is willing to
undertake the task, the local cats es-
pecially being of the opinion that the
kea is too large to be considered a
game bird. Whether larger and holder
cats can be found is very doubtful. In
all probab lity no animal will enter into
any contract to extirpate the keas, who
will prey upon the sheep to their heart 8
content.
What the sheep-farmers need to do is
W tedcu tlc sAeep W piOutcC themselves
This could be accomplished in various
ways. The sheep could rid themselves
of the keas by rolling on the ground; or
they could accomplish the same result
by plastering themselves thickly with
mud. A few intelligent pigs should be
placed in every flock of sheep, SO that
the latter, observing the way in which
pigs plaster themselves with mud could
follow their example, and thereby So
cure immunity from the keas. Or the
shepherds themselves might teach the
sheep by precept and example to roll
on the grass whenever molested by
keas. Surely, if a graminivorous par
rot can teach itself to kill and eat NUT
ton, sheep can be taught the simple
measures necessary to their safety.-M.

Sometimes we skins the cats. Then we

er was bloody from neck to boots, and
the ''that and these here'' were two
piles OF black stuff, the odorfrom which
was somewhat Off color. The place was
M of the four or five understanding
establishments which dot the river
banks a quarter of q mile below Brides
burg. The cats and dogs referred to
were the twenty or thirty barrels of
the city dog-pound and the .'cat home''
on Lombard street, below Thirteenth.
Here also are taken all the dead carrion
which can be begged or purchased in
the city. In the darkest hours of night
great covered wagons make their mys-
terious way through the byways of
Philadelphia. These numbering vehi-
cles are large enough to carry two dead
horses. and no matter how long the
carrien they may find has been dead, if
it will hold together it is gathered up
and the wagons march resumed until
their rounds have been completed, ane'
they dump their repulsive loads at the
establishments on the river bank.
''Sometimes," said the man in charge,
1--WE gets a big supply in the way of q
fire. After the Knickerbocker Ice Com
pany's fire we had all we could do for
some time. In the ordinary run we
gets here about thirty horses and mules
and twenty barrels of dead cats and'
dogs every week. What do we do with
EN-? Well, you see, they goes three or
four ways. We cuts 'em up, bones and
all, and losses 'em into that big biler
over yonder. When that has billed away
tor. twenty-four or more hours we get
out the bones and they go to the bone
yard to make phosphate. We press the
oil outen the balance, and that goes
mostly to make fabrication [lubricat-
incl oil or to soap-makers. The other
stuff is put in the sun and dried, and we
make phosphate out of it ourselves"
The skins, the men said, were sold to
the tanners. In the winter and early
summer the cats are skinned and the
hide is used in the lining of winter cir
culars for ladies. Two curious uses
are, however, frequently made of the
dogs. Their fat is carefully taken off
and manufactured into "dogoil," which
among superstitjous persons. especially
the colored people, possesses almost
miraculous virtue in the cure Of various
diseases. but chiefly of rheumatism. In
Ill localities where the colored popula-
zion is large this oil is for sale, and al
ways sells for a good price. 1t is also
in demand for consumptives. Very fire.

dog fat. Occasionally persons will
bring dogs which they have killed them
selves and have the oil manufactured
from them.
Some of the rendering establishments
along the river do an enormous bust
ness, receiving their supplies not only
from the city but from abroad by the
car load. Some of them use the intes-
tines and refuse matter from the

as soon as 1 was left alone that day.

Married Under Fourteen.

Last Sunday evening, says the Jonesboro
ARK Democrat, Judge Parr was called on
to go out in the country and perform the
and Jodella Hopkins man and wife. The
judge cheerfully responded, for il is his
favorite pastime TO unite folks in shs holy
bonds of wedloek. The ceremonyswSs per
formed at the groom's brether's, as The siiPs
uncle and guardian had each expressed an
unyillingness to the contamination of the
marriage. Indeed, the uncle's disapprovsl
went SO far as 10 cause him 10 have a writ of
hGbeds corpus Issued :or the girl. The writ
was put into the hands of Deputy Sheriff ].
s. Hughes, and just after midnight he pro-
ceeded 10 serve it. The writ was Issued on
the grounds that the girl was under four
teen, and the statutes of this Sins provide
that such marriage is void snie=s by
the consent of the girls parents or rdian.
But Sheriff Hughes proceeded to serve the
writ, and here comes the fuany part Of the
narration. Just think OF George Roy, boy
OF about twenty summers, having his girl
wife taken from the marriage bed at the
hour of midnight by an officer of the law.
Well bet that Roy couldn't describs his feel
iugs in three years. On Monday the case
came up before Judge LOFTS, but the oppo-
sition seemed to have relented and declined
it was agreed that the children should go on
and be man and wife just the same SIS grown
folks, and everybody now couce ies that the
msrrisge has been duly consummsted &C
cordiDg to legally prescribed methods.

THE ST. Louis Globe Democrat, after care
full review Of the outlook for 1884, no axes an
estimate of the probable electoral vote which
gives the Republicans fifteen States and 2O1
electoral votes (incuding Ohio, New York
and Pennsylvania, aId the Democrats
twenty three States and 200 yotee. 1t then
concludes: "rhis is giving the Democrats
all the States the Republicans do not actually
need, and more, of course, than they will
carry, but transfer New York and Ohio,
or either of them, from the Rspuh-
lican column, keeping in mind what
bearing such transfer will have on other
States, and it will be found impossible to fill
the gap from the olher column with any de-
gree OF probability whatever. The fight is
right in the big States, and the Republicans
must be freed from all the outside embar-
easements that little men would crowd upon
them" The Globe Democrat Is frank and
-caEsfd, to say the least, and makes an adj
mission that few other Republican paper,
would make, that the canvass is likely to be
so close. But even IN this il errs. New York
is sure to go Democratic, and it is barely
possible that Ohio may slso. What Penn
sylvania will do remains 10 be seen.
