The first mortgage bondhoIders of the
Cotton Belt route have not been satisfied
with the Gould interest in the property.
It is true that were one called upon to
specify some particular act or declaration
to verify the assertion of dissatisfaction
one would probably be at a loss what to
cite Still the spirit Of disquietude has
been realized.
There is something, doubtless, in the
traditions Of a thing even as Impersonal
as q railway company. The Cotton Belt
would not have been built, had it not
been for the cordial dislike of its builder
for Jay Gould. Every foot of
the line Is an incorporation of the
spirit Of revenge sought against the
owner of the Iron Mountain railway.
The Cotton Belt has changed hands, but
the prOmptings that constructed have not
all been eTadicated.
There are some events that have re-
Gently transpired, which, taken in con-
nection with the above reflections,
possess peculiar interest. During two
months past, when many ST. Louisans
have been sOjourning by the resounding
sea, the sylvan lakes and in cool
mountain retreats, John Scullin and
II. W. 0tgS nave Getu
taking pleasure trips along
the country lying contiguous TO the east
bank OF the Mississippi river between
East ST. Louis and Grand Tower. The
Spying out of the land has proven salts
isfactory, we may fairly conclude, since
these gentlemen are prepared to unite
East ST. Louis and Grand Tower by
line of railroad 100 miles long.
The building of this line being assured,
curiosity is aroused as to the ultimate
purposes of the projectors. One termi-
nus will be Grand Tower. It can scarcely.
be credited that this line is to be solely q
competitor with the boats on the Missis-
sippI river. Nor is il probable that the
anticipated local patronage will be so
rich rs to warrant the building of a
purely local line.
There is a suggestion in the very name
Grand Tower. The Cape Girardeau and
Southwestern railway has made SURVEYS
along the east bank OF the Nssis-
sippi river from point directly
across from Cape Girardeau to
Grand Tower; but it has never
been limited, so far as our knowledge
goes, that the object Of the company was
TO secure a route TO East st. Louis. On
the other hand it has been declared, aufSk
generally believed, that the Cape GIFHE-
deau and Southwestern desired to reach
the Big Muddy coal district of Illinois. \.
For years past an extension Of the
Cotton Belt north has scarcely 9ael
mentioned, except with the idea ex-
pressed or implied that its line would
cross the Mississippi river at Grond
Tower and extend to East st. Louis.
The line has been built from Maiden to

SHEEP NOTES.

According to Sheep and Wool thirty
and one-half pounds sis probably the
heaviest clean fleece on record" But
the American record claims forty to
fifty-two pounds, the latter only one
years growth.
There are more of the ''all purpose"
qualities in sheep than in any other
single animal. Good mutton, good wool,
good breeding qualities, including ample
milk for the young, can all be found
under one pelt
Every sheep owner should get ac-
quainted with his flock so that they will
gather around him in confidence and he
may look them over at his leisure. It
will save penning them every time he
wants to inspect them.
Young lambs are very tender and need
careful protection from the cold. Old
sheep can stand the cold better; but
they should have warm shelter in
winter that they can go into at will
without being too much crowded. Sheep
need light and pure air as much as other
animals.
Ensilage has been tested for sheep
and stands approved, especially for the
mutton breeds, where EARLY lambs are a
desideratuai. But it is advisable to give
a portion of dry feed with the ensilage,
as it has tendency, if given alone. to
make the animals soft and sensitive to
cold weather.

A Word About Sheep.

While the prices of cattle are SO de-
pressed sheep are paying much better
for their rearing, particularly such as
are of the mutton sort. Under these
circumstances we ought, as in Great
Britain, to extend their breeding, and
that, too, in localities where they are
now scarcely known on account of vari-
GUS disadvantages of soil and climate.
These may be easily overcome by
proper selections of sheep for them. In
Europe there are probably dozen or
more quite distinct varieties of sheep.
Some of them are fitted by nature to
grow fairly and thrive on the scanty
pasture of rough mountains and arid,
stony hills, while others require shell
tered valleys and fertile lowlands. Now
If the latter were put on to high regions
cold, bleak winds and on the scant past
ure; but the former may be brought
down to abundant grass at suitable
age and fatten rapidly upon it for
profitable market.
November is the time that flock
masters more generally choose for COUP
ling their ewes. Let them then be on a
careful watch to select such rams as will
prove best to get progeny most suit
able for their soil, climate and the
market at which they are to be disposed,
either for their mutton, the product of
their wool or combination of both. In
well-inhabited country sheep produc-
ing quality of wool of moderate length
and fneness, with carcass of tender,
lean, juicy mutton, like the Southdown,
is undoubtedly the most profitable;
while an insulated country, as our great
Western plains, the fine-wool breeds,
like the Merinos, would afford the larg-
est profit. Such position is greatly in
their favor on one account, as they can
be kept in so large numbers as to afford
to have shepherds to look after the
sheep and prevent their being destroyed
by dogs, which latter is SO often the
case in well-settled communities

VERY CURIOUS CASES.
The Action of a Drug Taken Internal
Dyes the Hair.

The Action of a Drug Taken Internally
Dyes the Hair.
The patient was a woman aged seven
ty-two, who had had snow-white hair for
twenty years. For the symptoms of
commencing urfemia, due to contracted
kidney, twenty to thirty minims of ex-
tract of jaborandi was prescribed several
times daily. The drug was taken from
October, 1886, to February, 1883. During
the autumn of 1887 the eyebrows were
becoming darker, and the hair of the
head became also darker in patches.
This continued until the patches of hair
were quite, dark, contrasting with the
natural patches of snow-white hair. The
hair did not universally change before
her death.
In 1881 DIR. Prentiss had published an
other case of kidney disease, pyelo-
nephritis, treated with pilocarpine The
hair of the patient, a lady. aged twenty
five, changed from light blonde to black
under the influence of the drug. The pilo-
carpine was administered hypodermical-
ly (one-sixth of a grain twenty-five times
in the course of two months. The dose
was then increased. In one month after
commencing the treatment the hair
changed from light blonde to chest
nut brown; four months later it was
almost pure black" 1t is satisfactory
to find that, eight years afterward, the
hair is a dark brown. DIR. Prentiss
ascribes the phenomenon to the labor
ansi and its active principle, pilocar-
pine.
Cases where, as the result of the in
f1uence of the nervous system, in pain
or fright, the hair has changed color,
are pathological curiosities. So little is
known, however, of the physiological
influence of the nervous system over
the growth and nutrition of hair that it
is at present quite impossible to under
stand how a drug administered inter-
nally can alter the color Of the hair. 1t
would be interesting to learn from other
practitioners who have used jaborandi
or pilocarpine for an extended period
whether any change in the color of the
hair has been noticed. - Therapeutic
