Serious Results of Sunday Fishing.

Sheik Renal Edin Dcmeri, who died
about A. D. 1905, and was the author of
voluminous treatise on the life of ami
mails, relates the following story as
fact: "The Inhabitants of a town called
Olila. on the shore of the Rcd Sea, were
in olden times metamorphosed into
monkeys, in punishment for their
wickedness. They had broken the Sab
bath by fishing. Some of their pious
fellow citizens endeavored in vain to
convey them back into the path OF vir-
tue; and finally, when all admonitions
proved useless, left the town. Return
ing to their homes three days later, they
found instead of their neighbors, bah.
oons, which met them looking sorrow
fully, and expressing by signs and atti-
tude that they recognized the friends
whose advice they had scorned with so
dreadful a result. In his anger, Allah
had inflicted terrible sentence on
them"
The prophet and his followers admit
this metamorphosis by Gods special in

apes in all Arabic fables and tales The
early Egyptians believed religiously that
some groups of monkeys were experts. in
writing. and, by that fact alone, equal if
not superior to mankind in general. A
number of apes were consequently shell
tered and fed in the temples, worshiped
during life, and embalmed after death.
Those privileged specimens of the four
handed tribe, when first introduced into
the temple were handed a slate and
pencil by the chief priest, and humbly
requested to show their right to adnis
sion into the sacred asylum by writing.
The gamboling and grinning candidates

the figures traced by their agile hands
fully deserved to be classed in
the category of hieroglyphs.
SO highly were they held in respect and
veneration, that the holy Sphinx was

admitted that the priests or Pharaohs
were the descendants of monkeys, while,
on the contrary, the Hindoos built houses
and temples to shelter and worship
apes, and venersted the princes of their
country as the direct offspring of the
holy animals. The Arabs regard the
latter as 1.-The descendants of the wicked,

The Richest Street i'm the World

No street in the world possesses more
value than Fifth avenue. Yet the city
derives but one million dollars a year in
taxes upon the property, which shows
conclusively that this city suffers from
the epidemic of differentiation. The
total assessment upon the property along
the avenue is but $40, 449, 900, although
it must be worth six or seven times that
amount. AS an instance of undervalua-
ton, Mr.. Vsnderbilts property may be
taken. His house cost $4,000, 900, ex-
elusive of the land upon which it stands,
which is said to be worth half a million
more. Yet the whole establishment is
assessed at 81, 900, 900. The house of his
son, William K, which is said to have
cost 50, 900, 900, exclusive of the land, is
assessed at $500, 900, while that of Mr..
Webb, his son-in law, quite as expensive
in value, is rated at $780, 600. Mr.. Van
derbilt's former residence which cannot
he worth less than 500, 900, is rated at
$40, 900. The Stuart marble palace is
assessed at $500,0 James Gordon
Benefits residence, for which $3.50, 900
was refused, is rated at $3.50, 900, while
Robert Bonner, whose place is not much
more valuable, pays taxes on valuation

famous horses, is an honest man.-Nec

Revolutionary SURVIVORS.

Early in the late civil war it was an.
nounced that none of the soldiers of the
Revolution were alive, and this, falling
under the eye of gentleman living in
Hartford. who knew that at least one
survivor remained, he determined to
learn if possible whether there were
Others, and to obtain a record which
would determine accurately to whom
belonged the honor of surviving all his
comrades. The result of his inquiries es-
tabished beyond all doubt that in 1864
six soldiers of the revolution lived
These were the Rev Daniel Waldo, then
aged l02: William Hutchins, aged 100
Adam Link, aged 1902; Lemuol Cook,
aged 1915; Alexander Milliner, aged 104,
and Samuel Downing, aged 1902. Tn.
fortunately it was impossible to learn
which one of these survived the others,
though there IS some reason to believe
that the oldest of all, Lemuel Cook, was
the last to pass away. All died
within year or two after they had been
seen by the gentleman referred to, and
one, the Rev. Daniel Waldo, within sew
eral months. -AeW York Sun.

Threo Profits a Year.

Sheep afford a double income annually,
lambs and wool, and must b. considered
among the most profitable Of farm stock
especially where the fences and accomoia-
tions are adapted to them. My experience
proves that sheep pay best which yield
three profits a year. This can be accomp.
lished BY selecting good framed healthy,
middle aged ewes in August, or early in
September, and turning them with South
down or other mutton breed ram, so that
they will drop their lambs at any time
from January Is, to February Is. Suitable
warm and comfortable quarters Of course
need to be provided. Give these ewes
run at grass during the fall, and have them
come INTO winter quarters in good condition.
II the pasture is not iinc, giYe little corn
daily all through the fall When housed
for the winter, iced plenty of good dover
hay and haYe wator by them at all times.
Give little oorn every day. When lambs
begin to drop feed literally with turnips
or bran and corn. After the lambs are all
born, and the danger of caked bags has
passed, cotton seed ami meal may bo fed to
advantage; in fact, iced the eve for milk as
you would n mlch COW. As soon as the
lambs are old enough to eat. which they
will be at an early age, have pen seperate
from the sheep, and accessible to the lambs,
at all tunes, containing a trough from
which they can eat. Feed meal of "a 5 and
corn ground together, two parts oats to Que
of corn, cracked corn, and oats. Change
the feed and encourage them to eat all they
will. Keep them dry and warm with
plenty Of room for exercise. Sell as carly
as they are ready for market and when
they will bring the highest prices. After
the lambs are sold keep on feeding the ewes
all they will bear. Shear carly, and then
sell the well lattencd ewes to the butcher
By this process you get your three profits
