SULTAN AND KJIEDIVE

Constantinople, July II
There is no foundation for the newspaper
,anort that on the khedjve's arrival the
Grand yizir went to meet his IIighness, thus
departing from the etiquette giving precedence
to the Grand Yizir. On the contrary this
etiquette has been strictly maintained
throughout, and was duly observed both at
the K[hedive's reception and at the State
dinner given by the Sultan. His Majesty, in
fact, has appeared solicitous to afford no
ground for anyone to suppose that he REGARDED
the Khedive otherwise than as a Vail Of the
first class.
Abbas Pacha, who will leave ConstantinopIe
after TIE SelamIik next Friday, is stated in

OF late years the magazine editors
have been eager to print articles
from persons famous or notorious in
any walk of life. We have heard
from preachers and pugilists, bank
ers and bicyclists, statesmen and
singers. Some Of the people whose
names have been signed to published
articles probably cannot spell words
OF two syllables, yet the public has
been asked to believe that they have
written essays or stories several
thousand words in length, In we'll
balanced grammatical English. OF
course no one has believed anything
of the sort 1t has been tacitly
understood that the editor or some
one else has taken the contributor
facts and licked them into shape.
There has been q suspicion, too, thai
some Of the articles from the higher
grade of contributors were writer
by proxy. Indeed, the charge has
been openly made in one or two in
stances.

WILD SHEEP IN GEORGIA. y
Clocks Which Have Roamed the Woods
for Hundreds Of Years.

EloCkS Whlcn Hav3 Roamed the WOodx
for Hundreds OF Years.
In the great piney woods OF the
South Atlantic states peculiar race
Of sheep roam at large, almost as
wild and uncared for as the famous
Southern '.razor- back hog. For CEN
turtles these sheep have existed in
parts of Georgia and the Gulf states,
says the New York Evening Post,
and, by adapting themselves to the
climate, poor food and Indictment
weather, they have succeeded in sur
vivins all the vicissitudes of wild
and precarious life. They are COM
monty called in the South "the sheep
of the piney woods; they have no
recorded pedigree nor even o breed
name. 1t is supposed, however, that
they were originally brought to Flor
ida by the Spanish adventurers when
they first settled upon the present
site of st. Augustine. and that at that
time they belonged to the fine wooded
merino breed. Turned loose in the
new country, they gradually lost the
characteristics of their breed and de-
generated into their present state.
They possess, even yet, in some re-
spects the characteristics of the mer-
inc sheep They have the same gem
eral form, though less uniform, and
wool that is nearly as fine as the
pure-bred merino.
in the historical accounts of the
o,,lxy nj h s,s T.
there are records of their bringing
sheep and other domestic animals
with them, and after that time no
subsequent large importation of fine
wooded sheep to this region was ever
heard Of Wild sheep were known
to exist in the South in the days of
Washington and Jefferson, who en-
deavored to improve their condition
by introducing fine breeds from
abroad. They recognized the great
advantages which the South offered
for sheep husbandry, and everything
was done by them to establish the
business on a sound basis. With the
exception of the lnw-lying regions
along the coast, the whole country
from the Potomac to the Gulf of Mex
leo offers advantages for sheep-rais-
ing, and it was with the idea of rear
ing countless herds in this section
that these early statesmen encour-
aged the industry by writings,
speeches and practical demonstra-
ton. But the South did not take
kindly to sheep-raising. King cot
ton assumed complete control and
crushed out all other phases of farm.
ing. Cotton and sheep were not sup
posed to go together. Sheep had tc
go with grass and there was no room
for grass in the cotton-growing
states. The few sheep in the South
were consequently allowed to roam
untamed and almost uncared for il
the great stretches of pine woods.
To-day they are found in nearly a:
primitive condition as they were 100
years ago.

WHY OIL STOVES EXPLODE.
Dirt and Carelessness Arc too Often the
Cause of the Trouble.

Dirt and Careiessness Arc too Often tho
Cause of the Trouble.
just as regular as the summer
season comes around numberless
small fires are reported in the news
papers as having been caused by tho
explosion OF oil stoves. In such
cases what really happens is generally
only this: That person PUSHES into
n kitchen where there is an oil stove,
sees the stove enveloped in flames,
and, catching it up, dumps it bodily
out of the nearest window. The
stove is broken to pieces by that
proceeding, but there has been no
explosion; in fact, the dealer says
that oil stoves never explode
The trouble seems to be that the
people do not take proper care of the
stoves. Instead of cleaning them
from time to time, as in the case OF
lamps, they neglect them and allow
them to become clogged up with a
coating of dust and oil. That mix
ture is very infammable, and if it re-
mains about the wicks it will event
ually take fire In order for the
stove to explode, There must be a
sudden ignition Of the gas generated
within it, if that happens the stove
will be blown to pieces. Most OF the
stoves are now made, however, sc
that the gas from the oil escapes
through holes perforated in the cal
of the oil chambers, and as those
holes allow communication with the
open air, ii an xplosion-that is, {
quick ignition of the gas--shoult
take place, it is doubtful if it would
do any damage
il stove should burst into fam,
on account OF the coating of dust and
oil. SO long as the flame did not come
in contact with anything imllamma
bio, like wood, there would probably
be nc damage done. The dust ant
oil would burn off the surface, ther
/ the flame would go out.
i 1t IL possible that trouble might
be occasioned in rare instances b,
the overheating OF stove, but ac
cording to dealers the Temperature,
must be raised 260 degrees befor,
tho oil will flame. The dealers seen
to think that If the stoves are KEEP
