The relative price of mutton to cost of

tina, the demand for goo mutton really ex-

for the profitable breeding ami feeding of
good mutton sheep. Mutton breeds are
growing in favor and. With the advent OF
good meat in the markets, the taste for
mutton is growing. No flesh Is more nu-
tritious anil no animal i cleaner or lives on

These mnlton breeds. like the Oxfor1s
Shropshires, and Southdowns, have been
brought to perfection by high feeding, just
as the Sborihorn has been male superb

Dainty stock is not wanted, but there is q

mutton breeds, when literally fed give
good returns and buyers are always at hand.

Wagner, Di.tss,e for Music.


Wagner's stepfather, Ludwig Geyer,
who died when the boy was seven years
old. was very fond of him, and on the
evening before his death. we are told,
asked the little fellow to play on the
piano two operate airs which he had
been taught Richard played them not
so very badly. and the sick man said III
feeble voice to his wife, ''Doyou think
he might have taste for music?'
The next morning the mother talked
TO the children about their dead fathers
affection, and said TO Richard, lie
would have liked to make something OF
you." The boy never forgot the words.
At that time, however, no one would
have dreamed of making him a profess
sional musician. When he was nine
years old his mother devoted him to a
classical education. He is described as
headstrong, fantastic" child, who
would fly into passion at nothing. but
who nevertheless gave himself up to an
enthusiastic study of Greek. and soon
became his masters fayorite pupil.
He took lessons upon the piano, but
had little taste for the instrument, and
found the technic Of it bore. His
teacher after awhile dismissed him as
incorrigible.
For all that, the boy even then had
dreams of being a composer, and few
years later, at his own request, he was
put under an instructor in harmony.
The poor man had a hard time with
his eager, but headstrong pupil, and be-
fore long he, too, was constrained TO
give him up in despair, saying, like the
professor of the piano, Nothing can
ever be made of the boy
And yet the boy was to become. if
present judgments are to be trusted, one
of the few great musicians of the world.

The brightness of shooting stars is due
to the heat engendered by the energy of
their motion. Their speed is enormous
namely, forty-two and a half kilo-
meters second. while the speed Of the
earth on its orbit is only twenty five
lilometers forward. Consequently when
a shower of them approaches the earth
in the direction opposite to its course the
initial speed is seventytwo kilometers a
second; when they follow on its course
they gain sixteen and a half kilometers
a second on it. their mean rate OF APP
proach being thirty to forty kilometers
second.
The friction engenders temperature
of 5000 dogs. Celsius, subject to which
they burst into fame. II under these
conditions their substance is not vapor-
lied they pass through and beyond the
upper strata of our atmosphere and pur-
sue their proper course around the sun,
but as a rule they are vaporized, in
which case the vapor mingles with the
atmosphere, to fall later as meteoric
dust. In this manner we come in con-
tact annually with 146milliards Of shoot
ing stars. which add considerably to the
carth's substance.-Public Opinion.

One of the most curious natural pro-
auctions of the West Indies is the famed
vegetable fly, an insect about the size
and color of a drone bee. but without
wings. In the month of May it buries
itself in the earth and begins to vegetate.
BY the beginning of June a sprout has
issued from the creatures back and
made its appearance upon the surface of
the ground.
BY the end of July the tiny tree
known on the island as the fly tree has
attained its full size, being then about
three inches high, but perfect tree in
every particular, much resembling a
delicate branch. Pods appear on its
branches as soon as it arrives at its full
growth; these ripen and drop off in
August. Instead Of containing seeds,
as one would naturally suppose, these
pods have from three to six small hard
worms upon the interior.-Rural Col
