Tho Proatableness OF sheen.

First-There is much less capital
required than in any other branch ::
stock keeping. 1t is not necessary
that sheep should be pure bred; the
best OF our common sheep are good
enough. and such can be got at a
reasonable figure, and with proper
management and the use OF we'll bred
sires there need be no fear OF the
result.
Second. Sheep require the least
attention OF any kind OF stock and re-
qulre less expensive housing In winter.
A building that protects them from
storms Ia winter Is all that is neces-
sary. while in the summer they will
thrive on comp ratlvely scant pasture.
they will also pick their living late
| In autumn and can DO turned out much
earlier in the spring than any other
kind OF stock
Third-1hey are the best scavengers
the farmer can have, eating much that
would otherwise go to waste, also
spreading their droppings more evenly
on the poorest spots, thus helping 70
renovate the worn out lands.
Fourth Their freedom from disease
is also strong point in their favor.
Fifth-They give the farmer two
crops per year-a crop Of lambs and q
crop OF wool. An ordinary eve. fairly
fed and looked after. will give from
seven to eight pounds OF wool each
year, this at the current price OF &c
cents per pound. will give u return oil
about $3.50 for each sheep. A fairly
we'll managed flock OF ewes will pro-
duce from to II lambs per eve, and
i have known hocks TO give rs many
as two lambs per eve. These lambs,
with fair attention, will be- worth on
November (taking the prices OF the
last few years as basis) 50 per head.
This, with the wool, makes an annual
return OF about 80 per eve. - Western

Hints TO Houaekeepers.

For nausea. lay little pounded ice
on the back OF the neck.
Use soft water and few drops of
turpentine and 4 little sugar with your
stove polish.
Use flannel to wash the children with
In winter, and they will be good
natured while bathing.
Little catch-alls for small trinkets
are devised, as broken egg shells In
bronze, with gay -plumed chicks rang
cd on each side.
Four parts OF rain water 10 one part
OF molasses, with some cider vinegar
TO set it working. will make nice
vinegar TO keep cucumber pickles.
When one has bought an ordinary
soup bone OF beef, the meat may be
cut from the bone, after boiling for
two hours, and made into side-dish
or entree. The bones will finish the
soup very well.
Ventilation Is a provision OF nature
too often abused. Every sleepin o.
room should have its windows open an;
hour every morning. and all the bed
clothing laid open TO the air, where.
II possible, the sun can shine upon
them.
Never put away food IN tin plates.
Fully one-half the cases OF poison
from the use OF canned goods is be-
cause the article was left or put back
into the can after using. China, earth

VISITING MANNERS.
The Proper way to behave as Guest or
Hostess.

Many of us who pride ourselves on
our good breeding are singularly blind
as to what is due to friends who are
visiting people unknown to us, or who
are entertaining guests whom we have
never met. Nor are we more assured
as to some OF the points Of etiquette to-
ward our own guests. aud to our own
hosts when we make an occasional fit
ting from home.
1t Is useless TO deery etiquette by
saying that the best manners In all
cases are those which hurt no one.
This y true rs general law. but there
always are some points which leave no
room for experiments as to what will
hurt another. and which vet may be
settled once for all by few rules.
Ii you have an acquaintance who is
entertaining friends whom she wishes
you to meet, it is your duty to call
promptly. aud il possible offer some
hospitality to both guests aud hosts.
IL the position is reversed. aud your
friend is visiting people unknown to
you. never 60 to see your friend with
out leaving card for the hostess. II
you give any entertainment for the
also. it does not follow that your in
vitation will be accepted. but II it is
the hostess must be treated rs the guest
OF honor and shown every Difference.
II, for instance, the entertainment is a
luncheon for young ladies, she may be
asked to take the seat at the end Of the
table opposite to your own.
II the mutual friend Is your guest
you may be sure that, IL she Is wo-
man OF good breeding. she In turn will
accept no invitation which does not in
clude you. although you may think
best to decline it and insist upon her
going alone. Nor will she receive WIS.,
itors without asking you to join them
in the parlor--should her friends be
rude enough to have sent you no cards.
Here, too, you may excuse yourself or
at most join them with such delay as
to give them a short interview alone.
These same rules should hold good for
you when you are the guest. Before
you 90 to make the visit, send word TO
your friends where and with whom you
arc to stay, so that there NAV be no
idea that you are in boarding -house.
and therefore mistress Of your TINE and
surroundings. This constant Difference
TO your hostess should lead you to or
der all letters and packages TO be ad-
dressed to her care,
As to the disposal of your time when
you are visiting no etiquette requires
you to accept all the plans OF your
hostess If you feel unable to do so; but
care is needed to show that refusal
means lack OF strength. not lack of in-
terest aud inclination. With u little
tact on both sides you will have many
hours for your own. Indeed, skillful
hostess will manage to secure you this
privilege. and not make the mistake OF
working too hard to amusc you and so
absorb every moment of your visit
into her idea of what is pleasure for
you.
No greater compliment is possible
than the quiet acceptance of your
preference in the intimacy OF family
life. - Youths Companion.

Reform I'm Smoking.

Some New Haven smokers have
started tobacco moderation society,
members being limited to three cigars
q day. They have to deposit daily q
sum equaling what they have been ac-
customed to spend on tobacco, minus
the value of the three cigars. And in
case a member smokes more than three
cigars on any day he forfeits all the
money he has deposited. Those who
adhere to the agreement for one year
will share equally in the fund created
by the forfeitures. This Is very good
as far as it goes, but it would seem as
though there ought to be some prize
for the members who smoke less than
three cigars day.-New York Trib-

Ground wafer and Disease.

Mr.. Baldwin Latham, president Of
the royal meteorological society, states
that most epidemics accompany or i'm
mediately follow a period when the
underground water is unusually low,
though some diseases are most rife
when the soil contains most water.
Cholera ordinarily breaks out when
there is least ground water; smallpox
is almost always preceded by long
season of dryness of the grounds and
typhoid and scarlet fevers are most
prevalent on the first wetting OF the
ground after dry period. There is
usually most diphtheria in a low water
year. Measles on the contrary is
most prevalent at and near high water
periods, while whooping cough in
creases with the ground water and
diminishes as it subsidies. The death
rate is always greatest in years o.
drought and low ground water.

Facts Concerning Wolves.

Temple Bar.
The natural enmity which subsists
between dogs and wolves is a char
ncteristic which is recalled by the an
tipathy shown by every good watch
dog toward strangers OF his own
race; but that wolves should deyour
dogs certainly savours somewhat OF
cannibalism, for these friends and
foes of man are in fact two branches
of the same family, as is proved to
the satisfaction of nnturalists by
their identity in various important
characteristics, though sundry mi
nor points of difference are noted,
such as that in drinking dog laps,
whereas n wolf sucks, and i'll biting
the wolf gives rapid succession OF
4 vicious snaps, instead of the flrm
retaining hold which generally
characterizes the bite OF healthy
dog. The character of the bark also
differs greatly, the honest dog-barll
being replaced by short swapping,
while the wolf voice is chiefly ex-
erted in producing dismal howls.
AS regards external appearance,
the common wolf with his shaggy
coat bears a much close resemblance
to Collie dog than the latter does
to most other branches OF the dog
tribe, though the cruel, treacherous
expression of the obliquely-set eyes
betrays how different is the wolf
spirit from that which looks out
through the kind true eyes OF Tho
faithful dog. Yet there have been in
stances of domesticated wolves
which have formed a strong attach
ment to their human owners, whll'
on the other hand we have to confess
THAT the dog race does include bot
savage and cowardlp individuals,
