How Mon Fall When Shot.

The manner in which men fall de-
ponds also upon the nature Of the
action in which they are engaged.
Nearly every one is familiar with the
traditional stage fall, where the victim
of supposed dead-shot strikes an atti-
tude, clasps his hand to his heart, stiff
fcns every joint and muscle, breathes
historically, and goes down like log
toppled over from one end. Another
popular yet erroneous notion is that
men shot through the vitals leap into
the air and go down in dramatic atti-
tude. Sometimes men are found on the
field in striking positions, but often an
examination shows that the position
was taken after the fall. As a rule, a
man who is hit above the hips goes
down. The slighter the wound the
more commotion, for the body instinct
lively resists, just as IL does when one
slips or is pushed or collides with some
object But a wound in vital spot
weakens the resistance, and men sink
st once, or reel and tumble with very
i.ttle self-control- - Popular Sciencs

Because the sheep will eat weeds.
sprouts and much growth that other
stock will refuse, is hardly sufficient
reason for compelling them to live on
these alone. One of the advantages In
keeping sheep is that they are good
scayengers, and will aid materially in
keeping the pastures and meadows
clear of weeds and sprouts. Sheep do
not thrive well on low or moist landa
Dry, rolling land, well seeded to va
riety of grasses and provided with q
shed or sufficient trees to furnish .
shade, makes the best pasture for
sheep.
The objection to pasturing cattle and
sheep together is. that the sheep eat
very close to the ground, and when the
pasturage begins to get short the sheep
will be able to get their share when the
. cattle will be on short rations. When
there are weeds and sprouts that it is
desired to have the sheep keep down
allow a sufficient number OF stock u
keep the grass a little short, but mo-
| enough to suarve them, as IL is very i'm
portant to keep the sheep in, a goot
thrifty condition. AS with all stool
| better results can be secured by divid
ing the pastures and changing frou
one to the other. Not only will thu
sheep keep in better condition, bu
they will keep the weeds and sprout
down better. Sheep when eating in tn
pastures will keep on the move a goo

NEEDLESS EFFORT.
The Foolish Expenditure or Energy to
"Kecp UP Appearances"

"Kecp Up Appearances"
One-half of the misery of life at least,
II not more, comes to people from not
being able to make both ends meet; and
vet great deal of this carking care
and worry of mind is unnecessary. 1t Ia
sad to think, indeed, how much OF the
misery of life is absolutely needless
Many a man, for instance, with large,
expensive family, will toll on and
break down prematurely, whereas If he
had simply been in the habit OF dis
cussing matters in frank and friendly
way with his family needless luxuries
would have been chcerfully given up,
and the idle would have willingly put
their shoulders to the wheel This is
not often done; the father keeps his
business affairs to himself, and his fam
liz become accustomed to his grumbling
over expenses; and when the real trou-
BILE comes he stands alone with none to
holm him-and il is his own fault.
Keeping up appearances, too, is
often fatally disastrous mistake; and
vet of all idiotic things this seems the
most scnselcs; and the most needless.
Nevertheless, 1t must be one of the
strongest tendenc les of human nature,
for it has brought many one to ruin,
and for what good?. What possible
good can it do us to have our neighbors
know that we keep two horses instead
of one, and so on in like ratio? Truly
man with all his intellect is a compile,
creature and tangles himself voluntari
