WAYSIDE NOTES.

This is certainly summer. The signs
are frequent and infallible: For in
stance, the fragrance of the wild plum
blossom was breathed all over the city
yesterday; the fizz of the soda is heard
at every corner; nameless bugs swarm
about the lights at night; the directory
fiend is making his rounds; the size of
your daily modicum of ice has
dwindled to half; and finally, straw
hat of the vintage of 'S9 was seen at
he Minnesota club yesterday.

To homer thee, immortal George.
And We whose feet at Valley Forge
Made bloody prints round Freedoms
New York took one grand champagne gorge
In eighteen eighty-nine.

Hon. Freeman P. Lane did take some
bills with him to California, but they
were carried in his pocketbOOk, and
were principally of the denominations
of tWenties and fifties. Those kind of
bills do not require governors sigma
ture to make them legal.

A storm is on the way, and should
reach here to-day or tomorrow. Such
weather as that of yesterday is sure
breeder of storms. Experts do not look
for the cyclone variety, so be prepared
for anything. for cyclones, like country
relations, always come when least ex-
pected.

Butchers and meat men have been
found in Minneapolis who are willing
to admit that meat is higher and scarcer

When butcher will admit his meat is
higher and not so good as formerly, a

TIE impression that the Strawberries

The impression that the strawberries
in market of late, that suggest quite
luscious efforts OF nature. are the prod
ucts of the reservations to be opened in
Dakota, is not quite accurate. The
Dakota article comes in later to prolong
the season. The early ones mostly come
from Louisiana, where the crop has been
larger and better than the average.

Hypocrisy, thy name is HARRISON.

A GIRL in one of the cities recently
tried to hang herself with her shoe
string because her lover had deserted
her. The string. like that to her beau,
was too weak. Perhaps she will find
carriers stronger. Young ladies, how
ever, should remember that it is in very
bad form to hang themselves at all, es-
pecially for tickle lover. They should
count themselves fortunate in getting
rid of such before it is inconvenient.

When first woman feels sweet Cupid's dart
She loves the lover for the sake of love;
But after, when she really knows her heart,
She loves the man himself all things above.

LOVE.
(FoUR QuATRAINs.]

Where love exists it cannot be concealed;
No mask can hide it from the lovers gaze:
Existing not it cannot be revealed,
For love, If feigned its hollowness betrays
H.
AS wind extinguishes the sickly light,
And fans into blaze the ardent glow,
So absence casts on weakly love blight,
And makes the passionate love more vio-
lent grow.

A FRENCH SHEEP FARM.
A National Sheep Breeding Estab-
lishment-Origin of Merino Sheep

A French paper contains an interest.
ing account of the national sheep breed
ing farm (6ergerie) at Rambouillet, which
has now been in existence for more than
century, King Louis XVI. having pur.
chased the palace and forest of Ram.
bouillet in 1884, and having created an
experimental farm ON the estate, at o
cost of about So, 600 in the money of that
day, now representing, Of course, much
larger sum. The manager of the farm,
one Tessier, then obtained the kings
permission to spend more than double
the sum in the purchase of Fribourg
cattle, Angora goats, implements, and
the cultivation of different varieties Of
wheat, clover, etc. But the great ser
vice which Tessier did was the introduc
ton of merino sheep which have since
made Rambouillet so well known. These
sheep lad originally been brought from
Spain some few years before, on account
of the excellence of their wool, and Tes.
sier, having seen them at various places
in France, induced the king to order the
French ambassador at Madrid to pur
chase flock OF 364 sheep, which we're
selected from among the choicest fiocks
in Spain, at a cost of $3.50. The sheep,
ON their arrival at Rambouillet, we're
placed under the charge of a man named
Delorme, who was still shepherd when
Napoleon came to Rambouillet in 1904,
and complimented him by calling him
the first shepherd in France.
The flock was re enforced two or three
times by fresh importations from Spain,
and it was the custom to hold an annual
ram sale from 1874 to 1853, but in the
latter year this was given up, and since
then the sales have been private. The
change was n beneficial one, for while
the highest prices at public auction we're
$50 for rams and S25 for ewes, the aver
age price for the twenty years from 1858
to 1872 was $40 for the rams and $50
for the ewes. There is a great diversity
of opinion rs TO the origin Of the merino
sheep, some people saying that the
breed was introduced into Spain by the
Moors. and that it originally came from
Asia; but there does not seem to be any
special reason for believing such 10 be
the cnse, and it is, of course, equally
impossible to identify it, MS some others
have endeavored 10 do, with any of the
Roman breeds spoken of by Pliny.
There can be no doubt, however, in NJ.
Heuzes opinion, that the merino sheep
brought from Spain have been much
improved, both ms regards the develop
ment of the frame and the growth Of
wool, since their importation to Ram
bouillet, and the rams are much sought
after by breeders in Australia, New
Zealand, and South America, as it is
found that the climates of these coun.
tries suit them very we'll. very favor.
ite cross in France is that OF the merinos
with tho Leicesters, and the animals
bred in this way, which are known as
"Anglo-merinos, are generally notable
for their early maturity, good oonforma.
ton, and fine clip of wool.

Divers.

II any one has seen diver in his
submarine suit, bobbing up from the
wnter with his glistening, immense
round copper helmet, with its square
clumsy man -iish-like canvas suit, usual
ly stained by use, and iron rust and sea
water to q brownish yellowish gray,
something like the color of the devil,
fish, he may at first have been somewhat
startled by the apparition. The being
who thus rises from the sea is not mis-
chievous creature, but, on the contrary
a very useful member Of society, when
his services are required aud brought
into requisition. A description of his
dress is something like this. From the
helmet projects coil of snake like rub
Der hose, winch passes down under his
left arm and up through the water, con.
Meeting with an air.pump on q float
stage or boat. The pump is manipulate
ed by two men, and furnishes com.
pressed air for his breathing when under
water, which exhausts into the water
by valve in the helmet, enabling him
TO breathe continually fresh air, while,
hen he comes to the surface the wind.
ows of his helmet can be opened and he
can breathe without the assistance of
the air pump. When he goes down in
to the water, he has two means Of com.
muuication with those above, the hose
and the life line. BY the latter he also
descends and comes up when necessary.
BY each OF these he gives and receives
signals mutually understood, three
sharp pulls on the lie line indicating
that he is ready to ascend. In order to
overcome the natural buoyancy Of the
body and make its specific gravity
such that he can readily walk about on
the bottom of the sea, he wears shoes
with soles heavily ballasted or weighted
with lead. The upper part of his body
is protected, as is also his lower half, by
heavy canvas covering, consisting Of
Jacket with sleeves and pantaloons with
terminations which tit closely with eiast-
ic bands clinging 10 his flesh, the jacket
fitted closely to the helmet with metallic
bands bolted together, with rubber
gasket between. No water or air can
get TO him, except tho latter by the hose,
unless he opens the glass windows OF
his helmet, which he is not likely to do
unless occasion requires. Additional
weight is placed at his chest and back.
Sometimes breast plate and shoulder
plate of lead. sometimes a belt heavily
weighted, which can be thrown on or
of the shoulders, and hang down in
front and behind when in use. -Pr0ri-

Vampires not Vicious, After All.

In journal devoted to 'psychical,
occult and mystical research, called
Light, Mrs. Lawrence Oliphans, in writ
ing upon the powers of healing, passes
O high eulogium upon vampires, whose
intentions have been hitherto, 1t seems,
quito misunderstood. 'When Sensi-

pathizing with him he will find, instead
of the drain he expected, q new life com
ing through him from q source that IS
inexhaustible. He could yield power to
a thousand men and be stronger for the
Welding" Now, dare say, not one
person in ten with whom one is acQuaiut-
cd has ever met a vampire. Captain
Stedman, who travelled in Guiana, where
vampires mostly congregate, does not
give a very favorable account of them i;
but his familiarity wife them only lasted
between 1872 and l76S, since which
time, no doubt, there has been great
moral improvement in these engaging
creatures. His first experience with
them was rather alarming. On waking
about four clock one morning he found
himself weltering in CONCEALED blood.

THE daily life of Robert Garrett has

THE daily life of Robert Garrett has
not varied for many weeks. He occu-
pies suite of three rooms, at Paterson,
n j., the windows of which are barred
with iron. Three nurses are with him
day and night, and these, with the
doctors, are the only persons allowed
to see him. When the weather is mild
he is taken out for drive, AMI upon
these occasions he is allowed a few
minutes conversation with his wife.
When shut up for days he asks to see
her, but he is told that she has gone
away. He then has paper and envel-
opes brought to him, and for hours he
writes letters and kilograms to her
and friends in Baltimore and New
York. Those to his wife are handed
her, and she reads them in her room
and she replies by mall the others are
destroyed. Mr.. Garrett dresses with
faultless care and spends hours over
his toilet. He talks continually, prin-
cipally on business matters, at times
nationally and then again in a ram
bling. senseless manner. When out
driving ne halls every one along the
road. Whenever these people stop
they are moioned away by the attend
ants, and this has led Mr.. Garrett TO
believe that all the people in Ring
wood are deaf and dumb. The estab-
lishment requires twenty-one servants,
and costs on an average s., 900 month.
All supplies are sent daily from New
York by express. There are very few
visitors now, it being the wish of the
family to DO alone.

The following strange piece of work ia
what the Street and Sewer Department,
or else its contractors, have accomplished
on East Ninth street: A large quantity
of cobblestone taken from the bed of
Market street has been dumped along the
whole pavement Of the block on Ninth
street from French to Walnut. It is the
intention to repave that locality with the
refuse cobblestone. II Ia necessary for
the contractors of course to place the
stones somewhere aleng the street, but
anyone who will visit tue block referred
to will notice that on the south side OF
the street the pavement which is about
10 feet wide is brick paved to half its
width, the other half, the inside one next

cobblestones driving .he public out upon
