A Tame Mountain Lion.

In Colorado visited q hunters store

as its owner asserted, which had ever
been tanned. Itwas in little back room
chained to an iron staple in the floor,
round which it was pacing. uttering low
growls.
1t appeared very much like a small
panther and seemed anything but tame,
snarling at us as if it longed to spring.
It was in awe of its master, however, and
cowed down every time he cracked his
whip. He made it do several tricks with
a retriever dog, which did not seem to
like the task very well.
"Come and kiss Miss Pussy" said the
man, and the dog went up to it, laid a
paw upon its neck and licked its face.
The master then put piece of meat
on her nose and told the dog to fetch it
away.
He doesn't care for this part" was
his comment. "She has had him by the
throat once or twice. Just look at her
iron paws? One blow would lay you
dead as mutton. What, you brute, you
would, would your

New Zealand Mutton.

The sheep farmer, it seems, finds that
he can deliver his sheep, with a fair
profit, for pence pound at the nearest
port or freezing point. The killing and
freezing process is undertaken chiefly by
companies, which have established freez-
ing stations at various convenient points
along the coast, and which ship the car
casses, consigned to agents in London or
elsewhere. One of the sights Of the day
at the Albert docks is the arrival of one
Of the New Zealand Shipping company's
fine steamers, perhaps the Tongariro or
the Rimutaka, or some other of the feet
with the sonorous Maori names, and }
see the subsequent discharge Of some
$1,000 carcasses, each neatly wrapped in
its winding sheet Of white calico.
The whole years expectation now fig
ures to about 100000 frozen carcasses
and is rapidly increasing. Yet with all
this depletion the number of sheep in the
colony is rapidly increasing. The focks
have largely increased in number, and
the export of wool has risen from about
