A Sneeze at IA Climax.

The theatre was comfortably filled.
The two leading players were in the
midst of a narrowing tale of love.
Both had reached depth of suffering
the woman clearly wronged, yet
loving and proud; the husband guilty,
but loving also, and pleading for for
giveness. The audience had become
SO quiet that hardly a sound could be
heard. AT the most critical point, when
the stiffness could almost be felt, big
man in the arof the orchestra chairs
uttered as startling noise as was prob
ably ever heard in that theatre. 1t
sounded, in quick time, like 'Kitchy
-kitchy, hark-ar-ark-how-wow
-ee-hee-ee- - - ee- - -
kow gu -wou." 1t ended way
up in G and Jared the roof. The re
Spouse that followed could not have
been more completely timed if
everybody had been connected by an
electric current Every man. woman
and child simultaneously burst into a
laugh. The babies actually crowed.
1t smashed the tale of love and the re-
Cancellation into flinders Just as the
sneeze came that actress was standing
facing the audience, her face woebe
gone and full of pain Before she
could turn away her slim form was
quivering from laughter. She couldn't
utter a word. The husband chewed
his lower lip and tried to keep up a
show of grief In vain. He bent his
head in his hands and laughed with
everybody else. The fun didn't sub
side for at least five minutes. The
ushers looked about to see if the
sneezer was alive. He had vanished

Have they got there?

l answer, yes and no. Yes, because
some can show and have shown sheep
which the most expert judges will allow
to switch l00"-as the college boys say
while many others are coming in a
close second. l say no with regret, for
some have been lettering by the wayside
for sheep excitement to turn up, and
when it does come fear they will be
badly left. But, as our flocks now stand,
| suppose it is conceded by the whole
world that the Vermont sheep breeders
scoop "the cake"
Is this the class of sheep, then, that will
be wanted and called for by wool grow
ers at home and abroad?
If we can judge by purchasers from
Australia and those shipped to South
America we can answer affirmatively. |
understand that those taken to the former
place the past year haye given great sat
isfaction.
know that those who ask for sheep to
take to Texas and the territories call for
those that are plain, but their actions be-
lie their words when allowed to pick from
flock composed Of plain and wrinkly
sheep at the same price. They will take
the wrinkly ones first, other points being
equal.
Our stock sheep are purchased by wool
growers, usually, to cross with the native
to increase the weight of fleece. by null
tiplying the number of fibres grown upon
given space, the same as good farmer
makes two blades of grass grow where
before there was but one.
/ think it has been conclusively proved
that our ideal Merino sheep have pro-
duced the heaviest fleeces; not because
they contained more yolk, but more
cleansed wool. That being the case, the
large wool growers might reasonably ex-
pect that by crossing the Vermont Meri-
nos with their native sheep the increase
would shear much larger amount of
better wool, which to them must be "a
consummation devoutly to be wished"
Bearing in mind that these people do
not raise wool for the fun but for the
profit of it, can but believe that If those
in our own country are encouraged by a
duty on wool that will give them a
"suuare DEAL with the foreign wool
grower, our stock sheep will be wanted
and that very soon, while those abroad
will require them, to keep pace with their
Yankee competitors.
a southern free-trade Senator said that
the Senate finance committee had sixty
millions of sheep bleating behind them.
If their bill becomes law there will be
l20 millions long before Mr.. Cleveland
commences his second term as President
if elected on the tariff issue.
Then, gentlemen-members of the
Sheep Breeders ssociation-should we
not, with all zeal, press forward, having
in view the ideal Merino sheep, and en-
deavor to bring our whole flocks to thai
perfection to which, perhaps, compare.
lively few individuals have attained
With Excelsior as our motto, year by
year we will score additional points un
til we arrive at the goal of our ambition
and (what will seem delightful change
from our present circumstances) reap

Arnal. the French Comedian

He rather Stunned than courted the
society of his colleagues, and was con-
sequently no favorite with them. Con-
trary to the usual custom of actors
when off duty, he was never seen in
any theatre but his own; and even
there he seldom, if ever, appeared in
the green room. Once, on the stage,
however, the metamorphosis was COM
plete; he was no longer the serious,
misanthropic recluse but the joyous
interpreter of the quips and franks of
his habitual purveyors, Divert and
Lausanne, the effect of which on the
risible muscles of the audience was ir-
resistible. He never under any cir
cumstances, lost his presence of mind,
but had always his wits about him;
and remember a case in point. One
evening at the Vaudeville the specta-
tors were suddenly startled by false
alarm of fire, and a general confu-
sion prevailed. The occupants of the pit
and stalls with one accord made for
the doors, and in another minute the
theatre would have been entirely de-
serted, when Arnal, who happened to
be on the stage, came forward and
coolly inquired what was the matter.
Shouts Of "Firel Firel" greeted him
on every side, and the stampede con-
tinued until the actor, who had mean
while ascertained by reassuring ges-
ture from the stage manager behind
the scenes that the report was I'M
founded, assumed an indignant air
and exclaimed with a comic energy
which at once arrested the panic
"Ah ca, messieurs, do you suppose, if
there were the slightest danger, that
should be such an idiot as to stop
here 2"-All the Year Round.

1t is not a little funny to walk
through our markets nowadays and
note the result of the oleomargarine
law. You shall find a score of stands
selling oleomargarine and butteline,
but hardly single one where butter
is offered There are many tempting
signs, such as Pure Creamery
Butter" or Choice Western Reserve
Butter" but underneath either, if you
look closely, will be found, in much
smaller type, the additional legend
Now known as oleomargarine or
butterine." Little frauds are still per-
pertrated There is one girl, for ex-
ample, who has been selling pure
country butter" for six months-sell-
ing it in market on market days,
and between times selling it in per
son at houses on both sides of the
river. Her boxes and pals are
legally stamped, if you look
closely, but her language is free.
Every ounce of her wares is butterine.
The genuine butter trade has almost
disappeared from the markets and
gone TO the fancy groceries. There
the price is from forty to fifty cents,
and it is not by any means certain
that you do not buy half oleomarga-
rine or butterine even then. -Cincin.

A Celebrated Preacher.

st. John Chrysostom (the golden
mouthed), one of the most celebrated
of the Christian fathers, was born
about the year 347 in Antioch, his fa-
ther being commander of the Imperial
army in Syria. He was educated for
the bar, but became convert to
Christianity, and the solitary manner
of living being then in great estirna-
ton and very prevalent in Syria, he
retired to mountain not far from An
tioch, where he lived some years in
solitude practicing the usual austeri-
ties Returning to Antioch in 3S1 he
was ordained to the Office of deacon,
and to that of presbyter in 1856. He
soon became one of the most cele-
brated preachers of the age, his repu-
tation extending throughout the
Christian world, and on the death of
Constantinople. He was jealous in
the reform of clerical abuses, and on
his visit to Asia Minor he deposed
thirteen bishops of Lydia and Phry-
gia. His zeal exposed him to the i'm
psrial displeasure and he was deposed
by synod and banished to Caucasus
in the mountain range Of Taurus. The
journey thither on foot produced a
fever, which caused his death at Co
mona, in Pontus, on the l4th of Sep
TENDER, 407, at the age 60 years. The
works of Chrysostom consist of zoe
homilies and 247 epistles, as well as
commentaries, orations and treatises
on points of doctrine. philadelphia

A HARD FELLOW TO HANDLE.
Officers Hussey and Pickett Arrest a
Young Fighting Tough.

Yesterday afternoon, near the Grand
Trunk depot, on Commercial street, Officers
Hussey and Pickett encountered drunken
fighting young Irishman, whom they were
compelled to arrest on a charge of drunken
ness and disturbance. The fellow was fall
OF fight, very saucy, and did not intend to be
arrested If he could help it. He resisted as
best he could, but the policemen knocked
him down, put the handouts upon him and
forced him along to the police signal box and
called for the wagon. A great crowd, COM
posed mostly of loafers who had been stand
ing on the street corners in that vicinity,
gathered around the officers Ali this time
the drunken rough was cursing and kicking
the officers, declaring that If they would take
the irons off he would fight his way clear of
both of them. He finally became so saucy
that Officer Hussey choked him to make him
keep quiet There was an element in the
crowd that would have been pleased to have
seen the ugly fellow laid low under the po-
licemen's club. but the officers showed no
such violence. Just as the patrol wagon
drove up, bare-headed man came
pushing and putting through the
crowd with the air of person
of unquestioned and supreme authority, and
demanded that the officers use their prisoner
more gently. The big crowd pushed close to
the doors of the patrol wagon and rendered
1t all the more difficult for Messrs. Hussey
and Pickett to handle their man. Then, too
certain rough portion of those assembled
sided with tile man who interposed in behalf
of the prisoner. Officer Pickett turned upon
the man who had come putting through the
crowd, and told him he made himself liable
for interfering with the arrest. andthat if be
had any complaint to make he should enter
1t at the marshal's Office. The man made
threats, however. 1t would have been the
proper thing If the officers, without any
words, had arrested this man on the SPOT.
handcuffed him and sent him to the lookup
for interfering with an arrest.
