Sheep Industrys

There is no better place to be found,
perhaps, on this continent, for the rearing
of sheep than on the prairies and pine flats
and pine hills of Calcasieu. It ia esti-
mated that there are 100000, 900 sheep,
lowest estimate, in the world. They pro-
duca. at the least calculation, 1000 COG. GOO
pounds of wool annually, which contrib
utes to the wealth of the country $780,
O00 600 annually. Are our people getting
their share Of this wealth. Ii not, why
nots Calcasieu parish to-day can support
2.000, 600 sheep, and at least double the
amount of other kinds of stock, and the
range would only be the better for 1t
Let's make little calculation and see
what the wool clip alone would amount to
from S,O00, 900 sheep, and then we will
see what we are annually losing by not en-.
tering into the industry. Counting the
clips at an average of four pounds and the
price at twenty. Eve cents, we have the
round sum Of $4,000, 900 annually. The
sale Of mutton sheep annually, and those
slaughtered for home consumption, would
certainly pay all expenses. The sheep Is
one Of the small farmers best, servants. II
produces wool and mutton, keeps his fields
clean of weeds and fertilizes his soil fol
the production of larger crops.

A wholesome Fear.

The many manholes which have blown
mp from time to time and the sensa-
tional character Of the amateur electro
cutions which have taken place in the
city have together produced in the
minds of the people well grounded fear.
l was forcibly struck by scene in
Broadway recently. A crowd had col.
lected at the corner of Canal street foi
some unknown reason, rs crowds will
when suddenly there was heard rum
bling noise in the sewer. The firing Of
battery of Gatlings could not have dis
persed the concourse with greater dis
patch, and in fact several of the people
fell over each other in their desire TO es
cape.
One excessively stout man attempted
to pass between hydrant and lamp
post, and, there not being room, met
with evidently very painful results. The
confusion of panic is sometimes very
funny, always providing you are moi
yourself suffering from it. An innocent

no matter how muddy it may be, as
effectually as barricade of boxes in the

Indian Currency.

J. A. Smithers says: A good deal of
Indian wampuln, or money, is OCCASION
ally found in the southeastern parts of
this state, and curious feature of it is
the fact that it exactly resembles that
found in the Indian graves Of New Eng
land and Canada, showing that the same
kind of currency must have been in cir
culation among the Indians all over this
continent. There are two kinds found
everywhere in America-tho white and
the purple, the former being common
and cheap, the latter scarce and costly.
The purple was made from the eye of
the clam shell, the white from the stem
of the periwinkle shell. The aim of the
wampum makers seems to have been to
have the beads uniform, smooth and
highly polished, though by what means
they bored hole through so hard a sub
stance is unknown. The labor expended
on the shells must have been enormous,
and fully justified the estimation in
which the wampum was held.-St. Louis
Globe Democrat.

Curious chinese medicines.


The medicines of Caucasian civiliza-
ton are derived from many curious
origin, but if you want to find funny
things utilized as remedies for disease
you will discover them in the Chinese
pharmacopeia.
Medical science in that country has
been somewhat impeded by the respect
which the Chinese pay to dead body.
Worshiping their ancestors as they do,
their physicians would never think of
cutting up a corpse. Consequently they
know nothing of anatomy. Such lnowl-
edge on the subject as they pretend to
possess is derived, according to their
own account, from man born some
centuries ago, who had the misfortune
to be of transparent consistency,
physically speaking, as if he were made
of glass, SO that it was possible to see
just how things went on in his insides.
From observation of this extraordi-
nary freak it was discovered that GER
tain channels ran to each part and ex-
tremity of q human being, and that by
these channels it was possible to convey
any remedy that might be- necessary TO
any organ or member requiring treat
ment internally. Ever since then celes-
tial doctors have been able to tell just
what sort of pills or decoctions were in
tended for the cure Of this or that dis
order. The glass man doubtless suffered
from the experiments tried upon him by
science, but medical knowledge was
benefited inexpressibly.
Probably the Chinese pharmacopmia
is more elaborate than that possessed by
any other people. Physicians in the
Flowery Kingdom mix up together such
extraordinary things for remedial pur-
poses as we should never dream of. One
of their cures for liver complaint is OBJ
tanned by administering the fossil teeth
of various animals, which are known to
them as "dragons' teeth" Antelopes'
horns, powdered, they believe to be ex-
.cellent for rheumatism, and glue from
the hides of asses is supposed to be an
admirable tonic and diuretic The shell
of certain fresh water turtle made into
jelly is sure thing for "misery in the
joints" A decoction from the hedge
hogs hide is excellent for skin diseases,
and tigers bones mixed with hartshorn
and terrapin's shell in the shape Of a
jelly is a first rate tonic in cases of dis
eases of the bones and of ague.-Wash-
ington Star,

where tho ASS Amuses a Crowd.

The common people Of Cairo resort to
the exhibitions of mountebanks who
teach camels, asses and dogs to dance.
The dancing of the ass is diyerting
enough. After he has frisked and capered
sufficiently his master tells him that the
sultan means to build great palace, and
will have to employ all the asses in car.
rying mortar, stones and other materials
Upon this the ass falls down with his
feet upward, closing his eyes and extend
ing his chest as if he were dead.
The owner loudly bewails his loss, and
appeals to tho bystanders for aims &c
make it good. Then, having collected
as much as possible, he announces that
the ass is not really dead, but being sen.
sible of his masters necessity has played
a trick to secure proyender.
He commands the ass to rise, but the
brute remains motionless in spite of all
the blows he can give him. At last he
proclaims that by virtue of an edict Of
the sultan all the handsome ladies are
bound to ride out the next day upon the
comeliest asses they can find in order tc
see triumphal show, and that the ladies
are to entertain their beasts with oats
and Nile water. These words are ne
sooner pronounced than the ass rises up
prances and leaps for joy.
The master then declares that the as!
has been pitched upon by the warden Of
his street to carry his deformed and
ugly wife, upon which the ass lower:
his ears and limps with one leg rs il
lame.
The Snowman, after remarlSing that
his donkey is a great admirer of hand
some women, commands him to single
out the prettiest one in the company, and
the well trained beast completes the
show by going about among the people
and finally touching one of the prettiest
of the women with his head, to the great
amusement of the crowd. Youth's Com
panion.

The Writing Telegraph.

The writing telegraph, which had at
first but tardy recognition at the
hands of the commercial public, is now
being extensively used. There is no
question as to the value of an invention
which secures absolute immunity from

and communications from one place to
another. The written communication
at the receiving end of the line is du-
plicate of tho message sent SO that the
