THE MiuGEr sH EEP.

The very smallest of all the kinds of
sheep, says contemporary, is the tiny
Breton sheep. 1t is too small to be very
profitable to raise, for, of course, it can.
not have much wool, and, as for eating,
why, hungry man could almost eat a
whole one at meal. 1t is 50 small when |
full grown, that it can hide behind a
goodsized bucket. 1t takes its name
from the part of France where it is most
raised. But, if not a profitable sheep,
it is dear little creature for pet, for it
is very loving, and it is so small it is not
such nui ance about the house, as was
the celebrated lamb which belonged to a
little girl named Mary. 1t would need
be very large little girl-a giant girl.
indeed-who could take an ordinary
sheep in her lap and cuddle it there;
but any little girl could find room in her
lap for Breton sheep quite as easily as
for one of those very ugly little dogs
called by the ugly name of pug. One OF
this little creatures peculiarities is its
extreme sympathy with the feelings of
its human friends when it has been
brought up as pet by the house and
has learned to distinguish happiness from
unhappiness. If any person whom it
likes is very much pleased about any,
thing and shows it by laughing, the little
sheep will frisk about with every sign of
joy; but if, on the contrary, this person
sheds tears, the sympathetic friend will
show its sorrow in an equally unmistaka.
BILE way. A kind word and loving ca
ress will also fill it with happiness, while
cross word or harsh gesture will cause
1t evident distress. t Boston Advertiser.
A New KIND OF Decentralization
in Long Valley on the Farley ranch. says
the Reno Journal, there is large warm
spring which is utilized in novel man
ner in the Matching Of chickens A large
box is placed in the waters of the spring
and into this box are placed the number
of eggs desired to be Matched. The water
is of Just sufficient temperature to make
perfect natural incubator, and being OF
uniform degree of heat does not require
but little attention, and the eggs are
Matched with better results than can be
done by any old hen. 1t is certainly 9
} curious method, but it beats all the

SAVING PROCESS.

An English mining engineer by the
name of Baker is said to have made a
discovery of immense Importance. 1t
consists of nothing less than to take gold
and silver out of the ore on the galvanic
plan. 1t is done by the following very
simple process: The finely crushed ore
is taken by water down over a somewhat
inclined plane of wood. On this inclined
plane are few stations each one con.
sisting of a copper plate which rests on
layer Of quicksilver. The copper plate
is connected with the negative and the
quicksilver with the positive pole of a
battery. Now the ore is taken down
over it by the water. Immediately the
gold and silver leaves the ore to be taken
up by the quicksilver. while such metals
as sulphur. antimony, ETC., are retained
on the copper plate, and the earthly mat.
tiers are taken down by the water. The
quicksilver is drawn off from time to
time by an arrangement on the side in
order to take the precious metal out of
it. This is Bakers process, which costs
per ton only $3.50, while by the common
treatment it sometimes costs as much as
$50 per ton. At the same time there is
in the old way often great loss of the
precious metals. There is said to he a
loss Of only two per cent. in the electrical
process.

EdncaiiOn for fhe Farm.

When we consider the immense num-
Der that belong to the agricultural class
n this country and the fact that three
.ourths of all our exports are agricult-
Iral products. and that our prosperity
u n nation is so intimately connected
with its agriculture. it is surprising that
no better system mas been devised for
he education of this great class-the
very foundation of our national wealth.
The farmers occupation leads &c
regular habits and steady industry; but
unlike those engaged in mechanical and
mercantile pursuits, who are mostly
located in towns, and arc brought into
close business and social relations. the
farmers are scattered over the country,
and have little daily intercourse with
each other. They do not have the ad.
vantage of the friction of so ictv. in
which new ideas are suggested and de.
veloped by association. This i. no
doubt, the reason why the farming class
is so conservative. so prone TO follow
traditional routine and TO resist all in.

The inertness of the agricultural class
Is plainly shown in this, that they sell
dom or never make any improvement
IN their processes or modes of culture.
VI all the great labOr-saving machinery
introduced into agriculture during the
last forty years, not two per cent. or il
has been invented by those raised and
engaged upon the farm, but has Leen

understand the principles that underlie

few farmers think there are anv fixed
principles in agriculture. They regard
the who.e business as quite independent

certainty. This is why there IS SO Little
definitely settled in agricultural prac-
tice. Yet we know that agriculture is

and order. and as capable of being
taught as other applications of the
natural sciences.
All will admit that farmers sons

Sealing. Wax.

"Sealing-wax," a stationer said, lis
quietly resuming its place for the seal
ing of letters. The use Of gum in the
place OF sealing-wax was seductive APP
peal to the laziness of persons. who
eagerly adopted that method because il
| was quick and handy. 1t is much easier
TO run your tongue along the flap of an
envelope and press the surfaces together
than it is to heat the wax and close the
letter effectually.
'But it has now come to be slowly
appreciated that letter easily sealed Is
nearly as easily opened. 1t only re-
quires little dampness TO open any
letter sealed with gum, and it may be
done so skillfully that it battles detec-s
ton. 1t is about as much protection
now to put a letter in gum-sealei en-
velope as to put the contents on postal
card. Scaling-wax is projection
against the prying curiosity OF persons
not dishonest enough t. steal your let
ter out and out, yet willing to possess
themselves OF your secrets by peering
into your letters after steaining open a
gum-sealed flap.
"A pretty feature of the use of seal
ing wax is the opportunity to use seals.
Seal rings are plenty enough, and. if
you have not seal ring, you may use
q coin or a bangle, or any rough SUR
face. the breaking of which might be an
indication that letter had been tam
pered with. The express companies
will not receive valuable package for
transmission unless it is carefully sealed.
Seal your letters by al means with
sealing wax if you wish to keep their
contents free from inspection. IN Y
