4 FLOCK OF SHEEP.

Over the field the bright air clings and tingles
In the golden sunset. while the red wind
swoops
Upon the nibblcd knolls. and from the dingles
The sheep are gathering in frightened groups.
From the wide field the laggards bleat and fol-
low.
A drovcr huris his cry and hooting laugh,
And one young swain, too glad to whoop or
hollo,
Is singing wildly as he whirls his staff
Now crowding into little groups and eddies.
They swirl about and charge and try to pass.
she sheep dog yelps and heads them Off and
steadies
And rounds and molds them in seethins
mass
They stand u moment with their heads upliftcd
Till the wise dog barks loudly on the flank.
They all at once roll over and are drifted
Down the small hill toward the river bank.
Covered With rusty marks and purple blotches
Around the fallen bars they flow and leap
The wary dog stands by and keenly watches
AS If he knew the name of every sheep.
Now down the road the nimble sound de-
creases,
The drovers cry, the dog delays and whines,
And now with twinkling feet and glimmering
fleeces
They round and vanish past the dusky pines.
The drove is gone; the ruddy wind grows colder;
The singing youth puts up the heavy bars.
Beyond the rinos lie secs tho crimson smolder
And catches in his eyes the early stars.

HE MANUFACTURED AMULETs
How Willy Mohammedan High
Priest Became Wealthy.


At some distance beyond the prmeval
forests of CAMERON, on the frontiers of the
Soudan, a strip of land is found which
abounds with ivory. It's sovereign is
Chief Ngilla. and Mohammedan In
fluenceS have evidently not been
wasted upon him. Merchants from every
land come here bringing pearls and textiles,
which they exchange for ivory. Many a
fine tusk is sold for nickel tor which they
would be obliged 10 pay at least 500 at the
coast.
Lieutenant Morgan, in his report on this
country, relates OF man who had neither
gems nor costly fabrics to offer for ivory. and
yet was one of the largest p0ssessors OF that
beautiful White substance. He was a high
priest, whose home was on the River Niger,
and lie came armed with plenty of paper, ink
and pens, writing short aXioms from the
Koran on pieces of paper, which Re sewed
IN small leather pouches and sold them as
smulets to the faithful. The recOmpense
was large one in every instance, consist
ing OF the handsomest ivory tusks that could
be had. When chief Ngilla came to him to
buy one of these talismans, and endeavOred
TO persuade him to let him have the same
for less than he had been accustomed
to receive, the cunning high priest
said to him: "SiT, 1t is immateral to me
whether you give large or a small tusk,
but IL is not so to Allah. He will arrange
his protection of your body according ly."
1t is needless to say that lie received what
he asked for.
He did thriving business with his ANU
lets, and was the richest holder of ivory Of
the choicest kind in that region.

AQUATIC.
Stanbury and Peterson Will Try to
Arrange q Race,


The arrival of the champion oarsman of
the world has stirred up an unexpected in
teTest in the quiet sport Of boat-pullng
here, and an endeavor will be made to ar
range a race between Staubury and Henry
Peterson, the local oarsman.
The Australian cannot understand why
he must give a handicap to insure him a
race with American sculers.
He certainly forgets that he defeated
William O'Connor. who was the fastest
oarsman OF America, without having Ocea-
sion to exert himself.
III Stanbury expects to cross blades with
any OF the present oarsmen of this country
he will certainly have to make up his mind
that he must cOncede to his opponent or
opponents a very liberal start
On this coast the great drawback to boat
racing Is The lack OF a well-laid-ou course
In TACT there Is but one course uhe Ala
medal, and that is SO badly guarded that
all deser ption of crafts can enter upon IL
and cause no end Of annoyance 10 the
competitors.
OF course the railroad, which derives
almost the entire proceeds accruinp from
an aquatic contest, is in position to remedy
this evil, but it is Embellishments there

ROD AND CREEL,
Preparing for the Opening Day of the
Season.

In a few weeks the open season for ang-
ling will arrive. The first day Of April is
always welcomed By the man who delights
in the music of a babbling brook as its
waters leap down mountains side nging
lullaby on their journey over stumps and
boulders to old ocean.
Although many lovers of tIout-fshing are
disappointed, or, more appropriately speak
ing. fooled on the opening day so far as
the catching of mountain beauties" are
concerned, still there is a pleasure in the
pastims which more than compensates the
lovers OF spring outings who return home
ward with empty creeis. The perfume of
the wild flowers which impregnates the
atmosphere along the banks OF the streams
and especially at early morn, combine
with the beautiful surroundings, are alone
well worth the trip into the country on the
inaugural day of the trout-ishiGg season.
Should the remaining few weeks of the
close season remain dry and warm the fish,
ing should be good on streams that have
not been spoiled by poachers. who do not
care fig for the game and fish laws
The Fish Commissioners are now IN a
position to fight on legal grounds all per
sons arrested for breaking tile laws. The
State appropriation, which has been $50, 600
is now S35. 600; and with the latter amount
they expect to bring some Of the belligerent
law breakers to terms.
Some changes have been made in the fish
laws. In section $50 of the old law very
important word was omitted, and that was
fish" 1t read:
Every person who shall cast, extend or
set any seine or net OF any kind for the
catching of, in any river, stream or slough
at the time and place of such fishing is
guilty OF a misdemeanOr."
The flaw has been rectified and now the
Commissioners will be in position to pull
men over the Goals who heretofore escaped
arrest by the simple omission of the word
fish"
The new law also states that the use of
sturgeon-lines will be allowed for the
catching of fish wherever the Fish Commits
siOners say they can be located, on the
payment of $40 license by the liners.
This is a law which never should have
been passed and spOrtSmen will no doubt be
surprised TO learn that the Governor
approved the measure. Sportsmen think
that it Is premium on illegal fishing and
destructive to the interest of those who fish
in an honorable way.

A GLITTERING SPECTACLE.
A Thunderstorm Scene in a Zanzibar
Forest
81. Louis Globe-Democrat,


1.-THE most gittering spectacle that ever

OF other companies, were stationed

Elected its rays in eveT-chsngiug colors.
But before this the tree was struck by light
ming, not enough 10 destroy il, but suf-
fcient current to spread from limb to limb
and leaf to leaf. entering into every crystal
drop that swayed with the wind-tossed
leaves.
The effect was marvellous. The rich
green OF the leaves set off the gorgeous
gems that glitter ed and sI,arkled richer
than any diamond set in gold. 1t was but
for an instant, but that instant WAS suffi-
cient to give one an idea of what an Eden or
a Hesperides might look like. When such
things occur in the land Of the sun, do you
wonder that the Arabian literature abounds
in rich fancy and gorgeous descriptions?"

Cable-Cars In London.


A large double decked tramcar gliding
along the street at smart but changing
pace, without any apparent means of pro-
pulsion, is sight which, however familiar
IN some provincial towns and In America,
is rather new to Londoners The sensation
to the pedestrian who suddenly observes
the sight for the first time in the midst
of his constitutional is somewhat
eerie; and if it is a little myster-
i0us and creeping to men. what must
it be for the horses, good many of which
are seized with an urgent desire to put as
long space as possible between themselves
and the uncanny machine. II ought to be,
but perhaps it is not, superfluous to explain
that those are cable-trams, aud that the
sight we have suggested is now to be seen
every day between Remington Church
and StTeatham Hill, tina regular run
ming of the cars having commenced
on Monday. Hitherto the only cable
tramway in London has been that at
Higbgate Hill, which dates from 1884; but
somehow the method seems not to have
taken the fancy of the London tramway
papies-perhaps because they looked
askance at the initial cost. There is an airy
coming-race sort Of look about a tramcar
hauled by cable which is pleasing to the
esthetic sense. the passengers feelings
are no longer narrowed by the knowledge
that every stoppage means a nall in the
horses coffin. nor are his senses of sight
and. smell violated by tie hideous snorting
monsters called steam trans
