American Pearls. .

Pearl mussels are often found in the
upper Mississippi and in rivers flow
ing to the lakes, but whenever a pearl
is discovered in any locality all the
mussels in the stream are Immediate
ly destroyed by persons in search of
others. If the search were systematic
cally conducted, as is done in some
parts OF Germany, pearl fishery might
become an important industry in this
country. in Germany the streams
are carefully preserved and are fished
for pearls only once in ten or fifteen
years: The shells of mussels picked
out of the river are carefully opened
with pair of pincers made for the
purpose, and if no pearl is found then
the mussels are replaced in the water.
By means of such system as this the
annual find of pearly in the German
empire exceeds $250,OOO every year.

Sheep aring;.

Plan to put as much wool on the Sleeps
back as possible.
While oats is one of the best feeds it is
not always cheap one.
. Under no conditions should the sheep
and hogs be kept in the same yards.
Unless the sheep are kept in good con.
dition the quality of the wool will be af-
fected
week of scant feeding will show it's
effect upon the wool and will iniure its
quality.
Feed the ewes ration that will secure
good growth of bone and muscle for
both her and her lamb.
lamb cannot be forced to a very good
advantage by feeding it must be fed
principally through the eve.
When sheep are kept for mutton the
fat ewes can often be marketed, and
thinner ones bought to take their places
/ Sheep are good manure makers, good
farm scavengers and with good manage
ment will yield two good crops annually.
The Southdown maintains regularity or
evenness of flesh better than almost any
other breed, and is we'll adapted to almost
all localities. . ..-- .
: Often when the lambs are doing we'll
one is apt to think little extra feeding
will make them do better, but this gener-
ally proves a mistake
/ The Merino is one of the very best
breeds for wool alone, and hence is we'll
adapted to localities away from market,
where the raising of early lambs will not
be profitable
It does not pay to breed old ewes, and
they had better be fattened for the
shambles unless their condition in life
can be very materially improved Ewes
that are too old to do good service as
breeders any longer in the vast focks of
the plains may he brought east, and in
f1ocks of forty or fifty do very good work
as the mothers of early mutton lambs for
one year longer, sometimes for two years.

1t Results From Original Deficiency
of Slope and Rank Vegetation.
The Dismal Swamp belongs to that
group Of inundated lands where the
lack OF drainage is due to an original
deficiency OF slope, combined with the
flow, retarding influence OF vegetation
on the. movement OF water from the
land. The principal determining cause
which has led to the formation OF the
Dismal Swamp is found in the char
acter of the surface on which the
marsh accumulation rests, says David
Ker in Goldthwaite's Geographical
Magazine. The whole of this coast
from New York southwark has the
form OF an ancient sea bottom, more
OF less modified by the river action,
the measure OF the modification being
determined by the average height to
which the sea flow has elevated above
the level OF the ocean and the Steep
ness OF the slope toward the sea-. In
New Jersey the plain is tolerably ele-
waited and the slope from the interior
toward the shore is steep enough to
insure a swift discharge OF the water.
In northern Virginia the height OF the
plain is somewhat reduced and the
slope proportionately diminished.
From the James River southwark the
elevation of the plain at equal dis
lance from the shore is still further
lowered, the incisive action OF the
streams having yet further reduced it,
leaving parts of the surface in the
form originally belonging to the sea
bottom. In this condition the sur
face for a considerable distance from
the coast rises at an average rate of
about eighteen inches to the mile. 1t
is not a perfect inclined plane, for it is
cast into slight elevations and depres-
slons in a manner that reminds one
OF the ocean after a time of great
storm when the waves have fallen to
height of two or three feet, retaining
at the same time their horizontal at
titude,

A DeVilflsh SEXES a Boat.

A big octopus or, devilfsh, one of

scribed by Victor Hugo in his "Toil-
ers OF the Sea-" adorns q hook in
Browns fish stall on the Washington
street wharf. The hook is driven in

ably higher than mans head, but
the long, Shiny tenacles, or arms, of
the monster trail On the ground
tapering to q fine point. On the in
side OF the arms are the cup-like
saucer's, which once fastened on to
an object, have d bulldog tenacity.
The fish weighs fortyfve pounds, and
It's arms measure ten feet, or twenty
feet from tip to tip. 1t is being kept
till some Chinese, who consider the
meat OF the fish a great luxury, come
along and purchase it. The captors
OF the monster was fishermen August
Dupont and Joe Michael, who had a
hard battle before they succeeded in
killing it. The men were coming up
the bay the other day with boat-
load OF fish, pulling lazily on the
oars, when Dupont's blade fouled
something in the water. Dupont
raised his oar out of the water, and
the fish came with it, AS it was
raised above the surface, one of the
monsters strong arms fastened on to
the boat, and in an instant it was
half way into the boat, and striking
wildly at the occupants. Michael was
struck on the arm by the monster,
but he whipped out knife and cut
the tenacle off. In the meantime
Dupont seized q club used for knock
ing salmon OH the head and killed
the monster.-Seattle Telegraph.
