BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES.


In tie course of all extended article on
practical hints" gathered in New Mexico,
the editor of the Marion, Ind, Leader
prints this:
But the most money could be made by
going there and working land for the
most profitable crops. Should we 60
further north, in the region of Albuquer-
que, and especially Santa Fe and Las
Vegas, we should divide between alfalfa
and stock, especially sheep. No such
thing as disease among sheep is known
there. And here we wish to give few
points obtained from General Hobart
during our afternoon drive at Santa Fe.
We asked if the chances for money
making were as good as they once were?
"Better than ever" he replied. "We
have better shipping and irrigation facili-
ties. will tell you," said he, chow you
may get rich here in five years, with q
capital of few thousand dollars to start
on. l should buy twenty acres of land
that could be irrigated. | would then
put the rest OF my money into sheep.
Next, would hire trusty Mexican to
take care of them, one Mexican can care
for more sheep than five Americans; he
would drive them back on the foothills of
the mountains where rain falls and grass
grows naturally, and there they will keep
| fat for from ten to eleven months of the
year. During the one or two months of
! feeding time the alfalfa from the twenty
acres will keep your sheep still fat.
"Two thousand sheep may thus be cared
for, and they will yield in the course of
year 1900 lambs, worth $3.50 per head,
and $1.5O worth of wool to the sheep;
this gives profit of $6,75O per year; de-
Quoting $500 to pay the sheperd, and you
have SC, 400; granting that it costs $4O0
additional to market and realize on your
product, you still have $4,000, or more
than 100 per cent profit on your invest
ment."

Presbyterian Revision.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 4.-The period
allowed to Presbyteries throughout the
country to consider and act upon the re-
port of the committee on revision of the
Westminster confession, to the recent gen.
eral assembly of the church at Detroit,
expired on Tuesday last, and Rev. DR.. W.
@. Roberts, of this city, the chairman OF
the committee, has received replies from
every one of the PIG Presbyteries under
the jurisdiction of the general assembly.
These replies will now be tabulated and
printed, after which the committee will
discuss thoroughly, all the criticisms and
suggestions offered, preparatory to draft
ing final report for presentation to the
general assembly OF next year. 1t is un-
derstood that very few of the Presbyteras
has given full approval to the report,
while large majority have failed to agree
with the committee on revision, in some
one particular or another. Some Of the
criticisms on the changes proposed in the
confession are very severe. Many i'm
portant changes are recommended, some
of the Presbyteries being Numerically
opposed to the views Of the committee,
especially on predestination and election.
A few are opposed to the work of the
committee from beginning to the end. AS
a result, the task now before the commit
tee will be far more dlGicult than the
original one.

Adopts Uncle Sans Plan.

WASHINGTON, Dec. At has taken
nearly a quarter of century to convince
the controlling minds of England's legis-
lature that the policy in vogue throughout
the United States throughout that period,
by which, all things being equal veterans
of the war are given the preference in
filling offices under the government, is a
good one. According, however, to a copy
of circular just received by member of
the British embassy, in this city, the En-
glish authorities have at last taken leaf
out Of Uncle Sans book. The circular
in question, which is issued by the post
master general, instructs all surveyors Of
the postoffice throughout the country that
in all future vacancies whether in the
cities or in the country, must in all cases,
when possible, be filled by the appoint
ment of soldiers of good character, belong
ing to the reserve, or who have served
their time in the army and been dis
charged with honor. The only stipula"
ton is that they must pass the examins-
ton prescribed by the civil service COM
missioners, and their good characters
must be vouched for by the military
authorities. AS result OF this order, no
less than 10000 positions will be gradual
ly opened to veterans of the British army.
