Light Snow Fall.

AS the popular phrase is, "Uncle
Jerre Rusk has again sent snow on
Virginia" True to his prediction the
snow fell in some parts of the State,
it being two inches deep yesterday
morning at Lynchburg. Roanoke had
very light snow fall early in the
morning, but before o'clock it had
turned into rain, and those who slept
late did not know that it had showed
at all. Mill Mountain was capped in
white all day, and Roanoke was treated
to Switzerland view, of which, proba-
bly,, no other city in the State can
boast

with mimic vigor the long leather
whip of a plainsman while the artists
fingers flew over his paper at lightning
speed.
So intent were both on their task
that neither saw a white sombrero
that showed between two saplings on
the bank; nor did they catch the CLEAN
of the angry eyes beneath that looked
steadily and fercely from one to the
other. For several minutes the intruder
stared on the scene, and then the
branches of the saplings quietly inter-
mingled and only the swish of the
heavy whip, the low whirr of the dis
tant meadow-lark and the indistinct
ripple of the stream broke the silence.
Two days later the model was riding
homeward along the bluff by the river
side. She was thinking of the sordid
bread-and- butter life spent by the set
tiers around her-a life of drudgery,
narrowness and toll. Her whole soul
~revolted against it, and yet it must
come; even now her name was coupled

Her nominations were cut short by a

Every Farm In tho West aud NorthwrS

Every Farm In tho West aud Northwest
should Have n Flock.
We have long advocated the keeping
of a small flock of sheep and would be
glad to induce our farmers west and
northwest 10 follow the example of
New England and each have his sheer
pa sture. or at least have a few sheep
as the beginning of something better.
Prof. Craig, of Wisconsin. at an inSti-
tute not long since, had this to say ~
TO growing both mutton and wool: I'm
growing mutton sheep, You arc at the
same time growing the wool that will
sell the best to-day, and this wool is
the medium combing. The fine wool
does not sell so readilys now. The
cloth that is worn by the com
mol people is made largely from
this wool. Then, too. hat wool
cannot be produced in any other
country so readily and chcaply as it
4 be produced IN this country. So in
going into the production of mutton
sheep we attain both of these ru,ls.
We make mutton for three cents per
pound and it will sell for six cents per
pound. and hat of itself leaves a good
margin of profit and then You have the
wool extra and some other valuable re-
suits of sheep raising. One way to cs-
tablish n flock is to start with common
sheep and grade mp, but this depends
much on the man. Buy a good AN ard
breed up. In using a pure-bred animal
you get all the advantages of long and
continuous breeding. In the bree ling
of no animals will you get more the
benefit of the work of others tbs q in

A GOOD RESOLVE.

The Way to biting sunshine into Oul
Lives.
"In the Observation-Disclosures con.

young girl who so persistently tries tn
bring sunshine into the lives of others

'joy-giver."
IF there is only one thing in life
which is bright and pleasant" she said,
that ! mean to hold fast: and if there
isn't such a thing, I'll make it. I'll be
it myself.'
Perhaps she was helped in her hearty
and healthy way of taking life by the
remark of an old doctor. who had called
to see another member of the family
and asked:
What's the matter with her, now?"
"Oh," said the young girl, Il suppose
it's her nerves"
Nerves. nerves. cried the doctor:
seemingly in an alarming rage. My
dear young lady, | adjurc you by all
your hopes of happiness, don't let that
! word get into your vocabulary. There's
no such thing. Indigestion, dyspepsia,
if you like. but not nerves."
That he was fond of cxaggcration, nc
n can doubt, still, the lesson he
would have taught was 4 sensible one.
When we allow ourselves moods of i'll
temper or weakness because we arc
nervous" then we need to remember
that the soul is stronger than the body.
We need to look about us, and see
whether or not we can make some one
else happy.
