Wool Taste ia Mutton.

The veteran, Cassius NJ. Clay, oI
Kentucky, thus "defncs" the "woo
taste" in mutton, and gives plan fol
slaughtering sheep, which will be oI
benefit to all those engaged in that
class of husbandry who read the
ReVieW.
"The wool taste' then comes not oil
the touch of the wool or the length ol
the wool on the sheep, but of the IN
fusion of the excretions Of the intes'
tines into the circulation, which taintt
the flesh with the offensive woo
taste The lining strata Of the intes
tines prevent the offensive entrance oi
the excreta into the capillary tubes Of
the absorbing surfaces. But so soon
as the vital powers cease this capacity
of resistance ceases and the unpurified
excretions arc infused into the Venous
circulation.
In consequence OF these facts, it is
best to starye the sheep for twenty
four hours before killing giving water,
however, plentifulIy. This emptieG
the stomach and bowels of the sheep
and dlminshes the tendency of in
fusion. The sheep, all things being
ready, should have the throat cut all
around to the bone, thus bleeding it
freely. AS soon as the sensibility il
lost, 1t should be skinned partly on
the hind quarters to save time, then
hung up and the skinning rapidly
completed and the whole eutrails at
once taken out. The flesh is then
perfectly sweet, and no wool taste ia
perceptible. AS the wool grows
from the surface of the skin and is
pushed forward as the outer bark of
the tree, no circulation returns from
the ends of the wool, and how then
can its length affect the mutton2 But
as the woq has been and continues
on the sheep before and after BIRTH
what absurdity it is to cut the wool
off a short time before killing, If the
sheep is butchorod rightly you may
safely wrap tho carcass in the wool
and lay it by till used,
Among all tho hunters of my circle
in early life, we were accustomed to
take out the intestines of the squirrels
and hares as soon as shot, before cool,
ing. Birds killed and dressed at once
are very different from the game OF
the shops of the cities, where they
reach high flavor the flavor which
delights the dog from his LaIf-decayed
buried meat. De gHstibas non esr
disputandam. So the Pontic monarch
fed on poison and lived. Save us
from the doctors, the demagoguos
and the dogs"

Chicago Lumber,
A very fair idea of the sort OF
scientific discussion ono gets in
the daily papers is afforded by all
article on forestry which recently ap-
pcarod IN Cincinnati paper The
initial statement is that "while S,OO0,,
900 trees are cut in this country every
year, only 100000 are planted" AS
a matter Of fact, this may, or may not
be true; there is at present no means
of determining this point, but when
the same writer goes on TO say little
further in his article that "for several
years past from 100000 to 20, ,00O,'
900 trees have been set annually in
that state, ,"-Nebraska-lt becomes
evident that his statistics are some
what mixed. Any one informed at
all in regard to the lumber business
must know that more than 100000
trees arc cut in this country. Prob.
ably it would be out Of the way Ia
say that about this number of white
pine trees are cut alone, and no one
will pretend to say that this comprises
One-lalf the lumber production of the
country. Besides all the trees cut
for lumber there arc millions annually
burned for frewood, aud millions
more cnt for ties and other purposes
for which they are used without more
preparation than they secure in the
forest. The total is large enough be
yond doubt, but any attempt tG
state 1t accurately must prove abort,
i've because there is no data that ia
reliable from which it may be made
up. The government report Of the
timber supply, which was prepared in
1880, has been shown to be nothing
more than worthless compilation ol
individual opinions. The totals there
given as representing the amount
standing have already been exceeded
by the quantity since cut, and the re
manning supply seems almost as large
as it was then. This experience goes
to show that conclusions based upor
the census figures are certain to b
incorrect IN respect to any indefinite
statement put forth, because of the
recognized impossibiIty of finding
any reliable basis for them. Tht
forestry question, however, furnishes
good topic for the space writer's, ans
few errors more or less in their pro
ductions do not much matter.

San Francisco Chronicle "Undertones' .
And still VIC respect and admire a
a gentleman, and we take off our hats
aud worship gentlcwoman. Still
we like to kiss the hand of poor and
innocent girl aud listen to the low,
soft voice and refined thoughts Of an
educated and delicate woman. Isn't
the moonlight brighter, the night air
purer, the world better worth living
in when we leave the presence Of a
good woman than when the swinging
door of saloon closes behind us and
burst of fetid atmosphere follows
us into the street, No man ever yet
reformed unless under some such
influence, and don't believe any man
ever felt such influences without q
sense of his own unworthiness and a
momentary resolution to cut his low
acquaintanoes and habits. am not
saying that he did it. '
There's nothing so weak in the
world as a mans resolution to reform.
But you can always tell when a man
has been spending an evening with a
charming, refined woman, You some
times, you know, meet a man coming

Is walking with a firm tread, his head

Noah's Ark wood DIscOvered.


cclehunC AIneElcan'
Within q radius Of sixty miles Of
Nashville, Tenn, there is said TO be
found a tree that is said to be the
shittim wood of ark fame. Celebrated
botaDists from all over the country
have examined the trees and agree
that they grow nowhere else on the
globe. They have decided that it is
the sbIttim wood of which Noah's ark
was constructed, mention Of which is
made several times in the Bible. The
tree is medium sized, with very dark
smooth bark, and the wood is Of a
bright gold color. In early spring
the trees are laden with long, white
blossoms, closely resembling great
ostrich plumes. There seems 10 be
no doubt about the identity of the
trees, and II Is remarkable that they
are found only in this small area, and
80 few at that.

A Point for Immigration.

Times. Democrat
The NatohitoChes Enterprise calls
attention to fact that should be
noticed in advertising the manyee Seasons
why immigrants should select Louisi-
ana among the Southern States for
their home-that our present very
efficient, sensible and scientific quaran-
tine methods have kept the yellow
fever out OF the State this year,
although it has been within seventy
five miles of our border, and will
always keep 1t out IN future.
We do not imagine that the Florida
epidemic, which has killed fewer peo.
pie than die in one day in New York,
and fewer than are carried off every
month in Western States by diseases
like The typhoid and scarlet fevers,
will affect in the slightest degree
immigration to the South this winter,
but at the same time the very thorough
quarantine we have in force here, the
efficiency Of our Board Of Health, the
absence of any panic, the failure Of
any scare to interrupt business or stop
trains, Rll are excellent arguments 70
be brought forward in favor Of immi,
grafton TO this State. The past summer
has given Louisiana an additional
argument 10 offer why immigrants
should make their homes here,
