getting them home, and then think that
other men would be apt to do much as

of emasculating several if not all OF

low wooden frame within the Kremlin

burned, and when the bell fell to the

the assertion that that bell, with down

aware that cvclopedists give the meas
uremcnt as 60 feet in diameter and 10
feet inches as the hight. Against this
simply set my own measurement.

7ogno OF the Most Important Ouallhco-
tions which lie Should Possess.
He should be gOOd-natured, and this
30 such degree that though the sheep
in their eagerness at feeding time should
hsppen to get him down and run over
him he will not fly mad and ill-treat
them (this is about as severe a test of
good nature as can be given). He
should be ObSerUant, should know the
sheep and see that every one has an
equal chance at its food, and if raising
early lambs he should be able to select
any lamb and its mother; in short, he
should see that everything is right, and
be able to instantly detect anything
wrong with any individual sheep. He
should possess good judgments which
with his observation will enable him to
determine when the sheep are receiving
as much food as they can proiitably cat
and digest, and when any change in the
proportions of the different ingredients
may be desirable. He should be gentle
and quiet; every movement made about
the pens should be so made es not to
disturb or brighten the sheep. OF two
men having the other qualifications, the
one nervous and quick in every motion,
the other quiet and even rather slow, |
would choose the latter, for, though he
might not accomplish quite as much in
q day, he would do what he did in such
q way that the sheep would not
care for him and with the same food
they would make greater gain. He
should be Hetbodjcal and prompt. A
sleeps stomach is as good as a clock
(botter than sOme) and when it is time
for them to be fed they want it, and if
1t IS not forthcoming. they will rush
impatienuy around the pen and soon
run of as much flesh as the feeding
would gain, so that the shepherds should
feed every pen promptly on time, and
always IN the same order. He should

much the shepherd Tets and fondles the
sheep aHl lambs, never find fault as in
IL $ case he will never abuse or neg
lcct them, and the sheep are as quickly
won as any other animal, and if well
treated they soon come to know the at
tendant, and his presence docs not dis

goes without saying that the shepherd
be strictly and cOnscientiously honest;
otherwise he will shirk as much as pos

The State Prison at Milan.

Not very far away from the foro is the
State prison-as sacred TO the Lom-
bardese as Chillon is to the Swiss
where the Bonivards of Milan had to
spend decades on decades of their years
undcr an Austrian lock and key because
they refused to bend the knee to Aus
trian tyrants. 1t seems that the foreign
garrison quartered in this town did
every thing it could to earn the hatred
and opprObrium of the inhabitants.
Almost a generation has, however,
passed away since the despot was driven
from the land. Since 1859 Lombardy
has had no Austrian lancers prancing
on its plains, no Austrian flag floating
from its battlements, and yet these peo-
pie do not forget and will not forget the
wrongs done to them. They mutter
vows of vengeance and look forward
with feverish ardor to the day when
they will be allowed to march across the
frontier and snatch Triste from the
Sanguinary oppressor. y Cor. San

BRUNO'S GREAT JOKE,
Why a Lady Thought She Saw the Big
Newfoundland Dog Laugh.

NtNiouhhidhu A'oS Laugh
Mr.. Kane's Bruno is a great New
foundland dog, so large that when he
stands on his hind feet he can rest his
paws on Mrs. Kanes shoulders. But,
though SO tall, he is only a year old,
merely puppy, and as full of fun and
play as yeu can think. Mrs. Kane and he
are great friends, and he seems to think
she belongs entirely to him. For a
long time she had no other pet; so
Bruno was petted to his hearts content.
But one day Mr.. Kane brought home u
pig, a little, pink-skinned fellow with
white bristles, looking pretty enough for
any lady to take into her lap.
Mrs. Kane was charmed with the pig
and made pet of him at once, much
to Bruno's disgust. He would act as
sullly and jealous as could be whenever
Mrs. Kane petted piggy, and would
never notice the little fellow, unless to
give him n spteful little dip whenever
he had good chance. Piggy
was 50 little that they gave
him the run of the yard. One
day Mrs. Kane heard fearful squcaling
and stepped out to see what was the
matter. What do you think? Bruno
had the poor little fellow in his mouth,
and be carried him to puddle OF black,
sticky mud and dropped him into the
very middle, where he stuck fast,
Squealing louder than ever. Then
Bruno came running to his mistress,
with his tongue lolling ont, and his
brown eyes twinkling, as much as to
say 1--we fixed that little Ounce now,
haven't IP''
''Shame on you, Brunor said his
mistress; "a great dog like You teasing
that poor little piggy! Go straight and
| get him Out!'
Bruno turned and scampered back to
the puddle. He iished out tho little
pig, brought him back, and laid him at
his mistress feet, the dirtiest little pig
you ever saw. She had to get warm
water and a broom and scrub him.
And all the while Bruno sat there with
his head on one side, and tongue hang
ing out, watching her And ! almost
think could see that dog laugh. Our

CARE OF The FEET.
A Course of Treatment Recommended to
Ladies' Suffering From Corns, Etc.

A Course of Treatment Recommended to
Ladies' Suffering From Germs, Etc.
Ladies whose feet has become mis-
shapcn from excessively narrow boots
can do much to remedy the difficulty by
care and pains. Select easy, roomy
shoes and stockings of soft fabric
Battle the feet thoroughly in water COM
fortably warm, never allowing it to
grow cold enough to feel chilly, and
wipe them thoroughly dry with a soft
towel-coarse crash is almost poison to
sensitive skins, and often causes irrta-
ton and small eruption like rash.
Then rub into them thoroughly about
the joints or injured parts cold cream,
or what is better, glycerine, perfectly
pure, and mixed with double the guam
tity of water Especially should it be
diligently applied in the joints of the
great toes if they are enlarged or pain
full. Wipe of with damp cloth and
dry carefully, after which powder the
feet thoroughly with rice flour powder.
Brush of all that comes away easily
and put on the stocking, being careful
that no semblance of seam comes
over the sensitive Joint. Adjust the
shoe carefully-nevcr Jump mto' any
article of wearing apparel-smooth the
boot over the foot and ankle, if it is Il
high top, and be certain that it is COM
Portable.
These cautions may seem triiles, but
the feet are i'll, and all conditions of re-
coyery must be observed. Take care
that they do not get very cold or in the
least damp. The ankle should also be
prot 'cted by CATERS or lcggings, if
there is any necessity for gong out in
wet weather. The difficulty is in in
hammation of the joint membranes,
and has had many serious results. At
night the feet NAV be wiped off with a
damp cloth, and the glycerine and pow
der repeated. Ladies who adopt this
plan will never find soft corns coming
between the toes. For hard corns there
is nothing better than a little judiciously-
applied caustic. which should just touch
the hardened part of the corn, never
the surrounding flesh. Repeat every
other day, first soaking the feet in warm
water and gently scraping the surface
of the corn until it will finally come out
altogether Great care must be taken
to keep the cauStic from the whole flesh
and the foot should never be damp, as
the application will spread rapidly
Such course of treatment, patiently
followed, has in several cases restored
to quite passable shape and comfor
feet that were considered as hopelessI,
deformed. DemoreSt'S NoBliiy,

Production Of Wire Netting.

The many uses found for wire netting
have led to its greatly increased pro-
duction of late years. In 1872 its con-
sumption in Europe is stated to have
been only 10, 0Oyards per annum,while
at the present time it is estimated to be
about 40,000,0O0 yards per annum. In
its production some 420 machines are
employed, 800 of which are in operation
in Great Britain, 100 in France, and
only 20 in Germany, which latter country,
curiously enough, is large producer of
wire used in the manufacture of netting
in England.-N Z. Post.

And he crowded into the minister's
seat, and leaning over him, opened the
window and fired three shots. This
brought the conductor and he was APP
pealed to from all sides
Going to the cowboy, he said: "Sit
down there and give me your re-
volyer," The cowboy sank down be-
fore the decided conductor singing out:
"All right thar, stranger. For about
two hours not even the Methodist min
lister was more quiet than he. Then, at
one of the small stations q gentlemaB
came aboard with q little girl about SIX
years old. She was small and plump,
with soft yellow curls falling from the
back of her little velvet poke, and her
eyes were of a twinkling blue. They
took the seat back of the cowboy. For
about ten minutes she lisped questions
to her father about the people in the car
and how soon he supposed they would
see Mamma and FidO. But after a time
her father took a paper from his pocket
and the little girl looked out of the win
dow. Then the cowboy turned about
and tried to make friends with her. lie

pie ask children, but she wouIdn't say

| it would be best to answer or not, she
said, in her sweet, lisping voice; Yes.
Then come with me down there,
pointing to the other end Of the car,
land I'll get you some. " But little
eurIy-headod shyness returned, and she
shu. her mouth as tightly rs if she
never intended to speak again. The
cowboy coaXed, but the gentleman said:
"Shc won't leave me. Then YOU
come, too" and the cowboy started.
Lurly-head found her tongue again.
Come, papa and jumping up the
little nudge took both men by the hand
and led them where the newsboy sat
with his wares. The next time looked
at them the little girl had left her father
and was sitting in the cowboys lap.
She fed him candy and patted his
whisker9 while he talked "baby talk"
At last she told'him her name-"Bes-

patted her bright curls and whispered

not unlikely that he had little Bessie
somewhere. And the rest Of the day,
even after she left, he sat quietly look
