and dispatches say 10 branches of the
society went out fiom the convention and
will organize to continue the association
on its former non-partisan basis. The
principle difference seems to be upon the
political phase of proposed work and wo-
mans suffrage. The division is to he re-
GREETED and will certainly ietard the work
of both factions, as has the division in
the W. {. Il. L. in this country. But out
of all may come Il large education for

Sheen and Wool Prospects.

The Elyria (Ohio) Journal has long
and excellent article on sheep and wool
by II. Baker. or the prospects of sheep
raising for mutton and also for fine wool
he makes suggestions worthy the atten-
ton of that large class of farmtes who
are too easily discouraged by dull year
or too easily frightened by adverse Free
Trade legislation and sell out their flocks
at loss. "IIasten slowly is the sum
of what Mr.. Baker says, as follows:
VIII this industry be overdone by the
growing increase of sheep: This question
Is often put. Many believe that this will
be the result. This is worthy of Enquiry.
If we were to Judge Of the matter, and
not have in view the radical change In
the American people with regard to the
consumption of mutton-we might say
that such would be the case, but looking
ut the change which has been growing
for some sess7ss, ar. has ns>Y reached IA
Ninty, that majority of the Ameri-
can people are lovers of this tender and
juicy, niccly-hayOrcd meat, and will con-
tinue to purchase freely so long as the
best quality can be obtained. The de-
mand for fat lambs increasing every
year, and those who practice raising
lambs for the meat market realizing good
prizes; and though thousands of lambs
are slaughtered annually the market is
never over-stocked, and buyers are al
ways ready to take all offerings, especi-
ally where the carcass is ripe for the
block. The prospect for Il profitable
sheep-breeding industry seems to be as
sured for some time to come, more espe-
cially for the mutton breeds. Much de-
ponds on the quality of the sheep as to
its being largely profitable.
Many breeders of finewooled sheep are
discouraged by the prospect of lower
prices for wool, and are talking of reduc-
ing their 1ocks, or going out of the bust
ness of sheep husbandry entirely. There
may be some uncertainty as to the wool
growing industry, but it is not advisable
to be too hasty in disposing of the flock.
Better 20 slow in this matter, rs we may
be safe under Protection. Better wait
until free wool" is lail upon our mar
kcts. Even then, better to improve the
ilocks, and still wait.

".\ren't You tired of me, ALICE" "No,

little maid. Isn't that good way to

good: "Tell your papa what you did

"Oh, yes, tell him. II cried on the

Inere was q young lover who was a
compound-very rare-of high rank and
great abilities, with sweetness, great
modesty and shyness. Most noble lords
know their own value and behave ac-
cordingly. This noble lord, however,
was modest. He thought himself SO far
so very far-below the worth Of the
young lady whom he loved that he was
afraid to speak. Some women do not
understand this modesty. Believe me,
ladies, it's sure and certain sign Of a
noble character, because only lofty
soul can conceive the existence of god
dess. We measure others, you see, by
ourselves. 1t is also q sure sign of love,
because such man can only love wo-
man whom he deeply respects. Encour-
age this modesty, my daughters. Above
all, do not laugh at it. This young man,
therefore, was afraid to speak, and the
delay, which is at first, am told, pleas
ing and exciting, began to grow monoto-
nous.
One day they were playing cards for
money, after the fashion of their gem
Grafton. The lady won; the loser paid.
"It is" he said, "half crown. Iwish
indeed it were a crown"
'At least" replied the lady, "your
lordship can give me coronet."
And behold miraclel For his tongue
was loosened, and his eyes glowed, and
his lips spake. They lived happy, one
may add, though it is an unusual ending
to story. ever afterward

The Cause of Geysers.

Bunsen has explained the periodical
eruption of geysers in such satisfac-
tory manner that doubt is no longer pos
sible. A cavern filed with water lies
deep in the earth under the geyser, and
the water In this cavern is heated by the
earth's internal heat far above 212 de-
grees, since there is a heavy hydrostatic
pressure upon it arising from the weight
of water in the passage orinatural stand
pipe that leads from the subterranean
chamber of the surface of the earth.
After u time the temperature of the
water below rises, so that'steam is given
off in spite of the pressure, and the col
umn in the exit tube is gradually'forced
upward. The release Of pressure and
the disturbance,of the water thenicause

Der to fash into steam and expel the
contents of the exit pipe violently. These
eruptions may also beprovoked by throw
ing stones or.clods of turf into the basin

below is disturbed by this means.-Great

Trenton State Gazette.
The two most heinous ard outrageous
crimes ever committed against the people
and the State OF New Jersey were pcrpe.
trated by the ring Democracy In 1892 and
1898.
The Democratic Legislature Of 1892 inn
posed upon New Jersey the fragrant wrong
of the Coal Combine bill. For partisan
gain, the ring entered into an Illicit alli-
ance with the coal robber, and turned New
Jersey, bound hand foot, over to their
tender merc.es. 1t sold the people Of New
Jersey into slavery TO these plunderers for
share OF the loot.
Unwarned by this experience, the PEG
Pile of New Jersey again entrusted the
Democracy with power, and the Legisla-
ture OF 1898, iusolent from The popular
infatuation, sold the people into new
and still more degrading slavery to the
ce-track gamblers. Ii clothed the un.
sayory and infamous dens with power 10

consideration is share Of the "blood
money, "::icontributed by the race.track

ne their betrayers in power next Winter
