SHELTER FOR SHEEP.

How Good, Roomy Shed Can be Con-
 structed at a Trifiing Expense.
 If one may judge from what he sees in travelling over the country, there are many owners of sheep who apparently think there focks do not require any special attention in the way of provid- ing them with comfortable quarters. An ordinary open shed is the only pro- lection they have against storms and cold weather. Now, while sheep will stand exposure perhaps better than any other farm stock, such treatment can not be given without causing joss, and it will be found that those who neglect their stock in this way are among the first to complain that there is no profit wintered without providing them with comfortable quarters there is a loss not only in the food, more being required to keep up the heat of the body, but also in the quality of the fleece. The effect of neglect on the growth and texture of the wool will be quite apparent when spring comes, an examination showing an unevenness in the growth and lack of the fine quality which is found in the fieeces of those sheep which have been protected from the cold storms of winter. When shel- ter can be provided at so little cost, it is strange that any one will think of keep ing sheep in the way many do, for it is easily shown that the loss sustained by such a course will, in short time, be sufficient to more than equal the ex- pense of building comfortable quarters. These need not be of an elaborate char aater, but can be constructed quite cheaply by the use of straw and poles, enough of the former being used for a roof, SO that water can not get through it. In this way good, roomy shed can be so con- structed that it will last for two or three seasons, or it may be newly covered each fall with fresh straw. Care should be taken to secure proper ventilation where the shed is closed all around. This may be done by means of windows on the sides, or by openings through the roof. If the doors are left open when the weather is not too stormy or cold. the sheep will stay out in the yard much of the time through the day. A little care and forethought in this direc- ton will be found to pay we'll in the improved condition of the sheep when spring comes.-NationaL LiUe- Stock ,To,y1Nnl

 The French, who export more pears than any other nation, cover the inside of the boxes. with spongy paper or dry moss, which absorbs the moisture. Each pear is then wrapped in soft pa- per and placed In layers in the boxes, the largest and least-matured in the bot tom, filling all interstices with the dry moss. Thus they will keep a month or more. They are so closely packed that, though they can not touch each other, all motion is prevented. If one decays the others are not harmed.

Generally, such men have clear consciences, clear tongues and morals, and are safer among the young people than the majority of strolling hands are, whose presence among them, when not guarded, is pollution and perdition.

and cutting their way through the un- dergrowth, and a pair of shears for cutting hair, which they cut short with the exception of a tuft on the crown of the head about two inches in lengh, which looks like shoebrush standing up like bristles. Having no pots, they cook their rice in bamboo. They cut off a section and shave it thin, open a hole in one end, put in the rice and water, then, closing up the end, put it in the fire. Green bamboo being i'm previous to the flavor, they thus have first-class pot. The same is used by the Siamese when travelling through the jungle-and as they eat with the fingers they need no dishes, and thus have none to wash when the meal is over.
 When they need cloth, knives or shoes, they barter the products of the jungle, which are many and varied, consisting of rhinoceros horns, ele- phants' tusks, bones, hides and skins, but will not take money, except in rare eases, having no use for it, not know ing its value. They are expert trap pers, and snare all kinds of game, ele- phant, rhinoceros. tigers, leopards, pumas, deer and all other denizens of the wild woods, for their skins, and some of the finest ivory exported was purchased from these people; but their skins were badly handled. which Ge- tracts from their value, being merely dried in the sun after being stripped from the animal.

They pay no taxes, acknowledge no ruler; their number is unknown, and in their emerald fastness, guarded by malaria as deadly as dynamite, they live and die never having heard the story of Jesus. knowing no future, their world and existence being confined to the peninsula of Malacca. a.-Riclbnlond (lfo.)

GATAREH
For Good Purposes.

Mrs. NJ. A. Dauphin, of Philadelphia, is well known to the ladies of that city from the great good she has done by means of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. She writes Mrs. Pinkham of a recent in- teresting case. "A young marred lady came to me suffering with a severe case of Prolapsus and Liberation. She commenced taking the Compound and in two months was fully restored. In proof of this she soon found herself in an interesting condition. Influenced by foolish friends she attempted to evade the responsibilities of maternity. After ten or twelve days she came to me again and she was indeed in a most alarm ing state and suffered terribly. l gave her tablespoonful of the compound every hour for eight hours until she fell asleep, she awoke much relieved and evidently better. She continued taking the Com pound, and in due season she became the mother of fine healthy boy. But for the timely uso of the medicine she believes her life would have been lost"

A RARRIT PEST.
Many Estates in Australia Almost Ruined
 by the Little Animals.

Many Estates in Australia Almost Ruined
 by the Little Animals.
 Consul-General Morgan, of Australia, has written the Secretary of State curious dispatch, describing the ravages of the rabbits upon that continent. The. whole country is so overrun with them, he says, that unless something is soon done to exterminate the pests the result will be disastrous to the agricultural in- terests. Rabbits were first introduced into the country in 1860 by a large landed proprietor for the purpose of sport, but they have multiplied with such astounding rapidity as to literally Overrun the whole continent where the topography is favorable to them. 'It is isdoubtful,' 5 says Mir. Morgan, whether many persons are aware of the immense loss that has been sustained in the colony from this curious cause. As much as S100,000 has been expended to clear one estate of the pests, and many other proprietors have expended from S75,000 downward without much re- suit. In addition to the expense in- cured by private owners, the Govern ment and authorities have done much. There has been great depreciation in the value of land from this cause, and one estate of twenty thousand acres in in Victoria, which was formerly the best pasture in the colony, IS now valueless. In a recent discussion in the Parliament t was shown that 12,000,0 600 acres had been rendered almost useless by these little invaders. Estates upon which were smiling harvest fields and fruitful orchards fewyear ago have fallen into ruin and are deserted by all living crea- lures except the rabbits. In the grass and salt brush, where Tn 1875 were 79O,- GOO sheep, there are now not more than 100, In the year 1876 the produc- ton of wool in The Malice country was 5000 bales. valued at $500, 900. In 1884 this had fallen to geo bales, valued at S9O,0OO. Many of the ranges are en- tirely abandoned. During the last three years inc Government has spent $780, U00 in Victoria alone to rid the country ot the little beasts, poisoned oats and wheat be ng used and a bounty paid upon skins of three pence per dozen. Last year the number destroyed by pri- vate persons, on which bounty was paid, was 3, S84,000. The sum voted by Parliament this year for the purpose is S570,000. It may he asserted that one pair of rabbits will increase in two and half years to 2,0O0,O0O, but allowing that they only increase to one-fourt6 that number it may easily be seen how necessary it is to destroy them. There are now about five hundred miles of rabbit-proof wire fence erected in the colony of Victoria at cost of S4OO a mile. The estimated damage curing the last ten years amounts to over S15,. 100000. "-BOSt0l HenaiG,

COREAN CUSTOMS.

Peculiarities Observed in the Laying Out of Towns in the Hermit Kingdom.
 The Corean houses all face the south. No matter if the entrance gate IS on the north, there will be a way around to
 the reception rooms, which will invarl- ably open toward the south. The cities are so laid out that, if possible, there shall be a rugged mountain on the north and green, wooded hill or mountain on the south. This is in ac. cordance with their ideas of harmony
 Certain it is that it makes very pict. uresque effect. The capital, Seoul, is laid out in the same way, and they sue ceeded in finding a site that exactly suited. Behind the palace, inside the city walls, rises rugged peak some three thousand feet in height. Farther
 on still a whole range of mountains pierce the clouds with their crags and exert an influence upon the city. On the east and west sides of the city there are also mountains, but the gem of the whole collection is the Nam Shan
 (south mountain), which meets the gaze of every householder as he sits in his parlor facing southward. This mountain is green the year round, be- ing covered with a heavy growth of pine, except on the top, where the trees have been removed to make place for the signal fires. In the absence of telegraph lines the Coreans, from an- cient times, have been in the habit of signaling from the border, in five differ ent directions, whether all is peaceful or otherwise.
 There are certain high mountain peaks happily situated at appropriate intervals in each direction. Upon the tops of these mountains quarters have been built for the signal officers, whose duty it is to have the fire all ready to kindle into blaze immediately on sec ing the lights from the mountains near est toward the border. The next sta- ton passes the signal along, and so in less than an hour thousand ri (three hundred and fifty miles, are gone over, and it is known at the capital that quiet reigns along the border. When the five lights have been seen by the station on the south mountain of Seoul, the watch quickly lights his five fires in the little oven-like structures open at the top, and so placed as to be easily seen from the palace. Every night body of venerable, graybearded officers of high rank go in before his Majesty and announce 'all is tranquil and quiet; the five fires were seen on Nam Shan this evening"" But if one fire should not be seen, then they must report that section to be at war, and hard is their task, for no one must tell to the King any but good news. He stands before them their idea of human perfection. He acts also as a high priest and sacrifices to heaven for the good of his people. It is not right, then, in their opinion, that he should be informed concerning any disagreeable or unpleasant thing. But wars will force themselves upon the recognition of the most carefully guarded monarch. and many have been the times when the poor old graybeards have had to report a fire missing and trouble on the border.
