MONEY IN SHEEP,

A good many New England farmers have had enough of trying to raise sheep and defend them from dogs and other dangers, but they will perhaps be pleased to know that sheep can be made profitable in New England, and especially on tho abandoned farms. MT. Frank P. Bennett of Boston has been studying the matter, He believes that the most profitable method for the New England farmer would be to strike a medium between the careless wholesale sheep ranching of the West, "whose sine qua non Is the merino sheep" and the intense system of England, which depends largely upon the Shropshire. He says: hold that flock of 1000 half f-bred sheep can be made the basis of a profitable business upon New England lands hereto fore abandoned for agricultural purposes, and flock of 100 similar sheep can be kept by a very small farmer with advant- age. The flock of 1000 sheep on 8 New England farm, housed and fed in winter, would raise 100 per cent. of lambs, where the small Shropshire breeder gets 50 per cent. and the large Western ranch
 man perhaps but 50 per cent. In simi-
 lar manner he would get better yield of wool than the western ranchman, and would avoid much of the care and atten-
 tion of the eastern breeder. Even at ths
 present low prices of wool, his flock would
 yield 5000 pounds of wool at IS cents q, 40; 1000 lambs at 8 each, $S, 900; to
 tai, $4,440. With better prices for WOO
 and lambs, his returns would improve
 and it is by the introduction of sheep hus
 bandry and by greater degree of atsen
 ton to stock-rsislng in general that Ns' England agriculture Is to be restored.
 This looks all right, and shows that ther is money in sheep. But 1t takes good mar agement to get 1t out of them.

A Bone of Contention.

Some time ago certain wealthy gentle
man, well known for his extreme stingi-
ness, drove up hurriedly in his carriage to
the door of the celebrated DIR. S. of Man

fort and fear from the simple fact that at
the moment piece of fishbone was stick
ing somewhere in the region of his throat.
DIR. s., however, speedily removed the
dangerous obstacle, and the gentleman
breathed freely.

claimed, much relieved. II swear | will

Brides on the east side like to look well
just the same as brides do the world over.
But with them money is not to be squan-
dered. So they hire the dress-hire it at
the same place where Chimmy hired his
dress suit and Name her costume when
she went to the Jolly Seven's masquerade
ball as Mary, queen of Scots.
You can find such places in Second
street. There are about dozen wedding
dresses in each shop. Sometimes they are
used in a stage wedding, but oftener in
real one. The rent runs from SO to $40,
according to the magnifcence of the gown.
They are beautiful creations-at least they
seem so to a mere mainland are hand en-
broidered, with pearl fringes and lots of
lace.
They must be looked after and mended
every time they come back, just the same
as the masquerade costumes. The skirt
of wedding frock and che train stays
good quite awhile, but the bodice has to
be changed, not because it is shabby, but
because it is out of date
Costumers expect TO make dress pay
for itself in about four usings, but of
course they make poor mouth and say
wedding frocks lose money for them.-

The famous surgeon Velpeau was Wis
TIED one day at his house during the con
sultation hour by marquis renowned for
his closeness. Velpeau informed the mar
quis that an operation was urgent, and
that the fee would amount to 900 francs.
AT this the marquis made a wry face and
left, A fortnight later Dr. Nelpeau, while
making his rounds in the Hospital de la
Charlie, had his attention ATTRACTED by a
face that seemed familiar to him. In an
swer to his inquiry it was stated that the
patent was footman of nobleman in the
Fauhourg Saint German. The surgeon
found that his case resembled in every par
ticular the somewhat unusual one for
which the marquis had consulted him a
fortnight previously. He refrained, how
ever, from making any comments.
Three weeks after the operation, when
the patient was about to be discharged,
DR.. Velpeau called him aside and ex-
claimed: "Monsieur, am extremely fiat
tered and pleased to have been able to cure
you. There is, however, a small formal

Washington's state dinners must have
been exceedingly solemn affairs if they
were all like the description Of the fol-
lowing, which is found in the ancient
diary Of Senator Maclay. one Of the first
two representatives Of the state of Penn

Thursday, Aug. "a, i7s0-A little

Of Delaware state, and we went 10 the

Mrs. Adams. Governor Mihiin and his
wife. Mr.. Jay and wife, Mr.. Langdon
and wife, Mr.. Dalton and a lady (per-

1.-The president and his wife sat oppo-
site each other IN the middle Of the table;
the two secretaries, one at each end. IL
was great dinner and the best Of the
kind ever was at. The room. however,
was disagreeably warm.
First were soup, fish. roasted and
baked meats, CANNON, fowl, etc. This
was the dinner. The middle OF the table
was garnished in the usual tasty way,
with small images. artificial flow ers, etc.
The dessert was fruit. apple pies, pud-
ding. etc. then ice cream. Jelly, etc,
then watermelons, muskmelons, apples,
peaches and nuts.
1T was the most solemn dinner | was
ever at. Not health drank, scarce a
word said until the cloth was taken
away Then the president, filling glass
Of wine, with great formality drank the
health Of every individual around the
table. Everybody initiated him, changed
glasses, and such buzz Of Health, sir,
Health, madame, Thank you. SIR and
Thank you, madame had never heard
before.
The ladies sat a good while, and the
bottle passed about, but there was dead
silence almost. Mrs. Washington at last
withdrew with the ladies'. | expected
the men would now begin, but the same
silence remained. The president told Of
New England clergyman who had lost
his hat and wig in passing IA river called
the Bronx, and he smiled, and everybody
else laughed.
''He now and then said sentence OF
two ON some common subject, and what
he said was not amss. Mr.. Jay tried to
make laugh by mentioning the carica-
ture Of the Duchess Of Devonshire as
sisting In carrying on Fox's election.

The Abuse of Slang.

IL is not the use of slang which is to be
deprecated; il is the abuse of 1t. The girl
who every time she opens her mouth pro-
jects from IL some such word as lawfully
lawfully NICE lawfully horrid, -
lawfully square, " lawfully round" and
so ON until you wish that she would, at
any rate, advance into the alphabet as far
as the b's-is not only slangy person
she is also in all human probability fool.
The same civil observation applies to
the man who has become indissolubly
joined to some slangy catch phrase as, for
instance, "Don't you know, "IIe's a
pice fellow, don't you know, sit seems
70 me to be queer start, don't you know A
~ can't stand clever people, don't You

statement without his putting himself TO
the trouble of giving it audible utterance
just as clearly as we surmise that il is just
possible that clever people can't stand

A PETRIElEo BEAUTY.
Supposed to BE n Woman OF Quality Who
Died 700 Years Ago.

Who was the beautiful woman whose
petrificd bust, with arms and left hand,
stands on a pedestal in an artists studio
Ia Strasburgy Some workmen who were
repairing the old Church OF st. Fides in
Schelttstadt, In Alsace, found this bust In
tomb under the choir. This part Of the
church was built in 1904 by the grand
mother OF the great Emperor Frederick
Barbarossa. IL IL known that these tombs
contain the remains of members OF the
great families Of the neighborhood, whose
descendants kept these resting places Of
their ancestors In repair down to the mid
die OF the seventeenth century and some
until now. This tomb that the wOrkmen
opened had been rebuilt in the seventeenth
century and was supposed TO date from
that time. When it was opened the re
mains OF n wooden coffin were found, and
this wonderful petrifaction Of bust and
head, with the features clear cut and I'M
wasted. About the head are two braids OF
hair, the right arm lies across the breast,
and the left hand is perfectly preserved.
The clothing Is Of the finest quality, n long
linen chemise, linen Undertaking and a
woolen jacket, with costly mantle, such
as might have been worn by the lady alb
bess OF a convent.
The clothing and the way the hair is
worn prove that this woman lived in the
eleventh or twelfth century. She was
evidently woman Of quality, about 40
years old, maybe the Duchess Adelheid. the
aunt OF Barbarossa and daughter of Hill
dergarde Won Schwaben, who built the
church. Tradition has it that Adelheid died
OF the plague and was buried at Schlett-
stadt This woman undoubtedly died of
contagious disease, and it Is to this fact
that her preservation is ascribed. When
she was buried, mortar Of some kind. or
some preparation of lime, was poured over
her, which, rs it hardened, preserved the
face and bust. The face is of great beau
ty, the features clear cut and refined and
the expression noble. It might well be the
face of woman who died AS Adelheid is
said to have died-while nursing the
plague stricken peasants of her neighbor-
