In the northern parts of India sheep
al e put to use unthought of in Euro
pean countries. They are made to
serve as beasts of burden. The noun
tain paths among the foothills of the
Hymalayas are so PERCEPTIONS that the
sheep, more sure-footed than larger
beasts, are preferred as burden car
riers. The load for each sheep is from
sixteen to twenty pounds. The sheep
are driven from village to village, with
the wool still growing, and in each
town the farmer shears as much wool
as he can sell there, and loads the
sheep with the grain which he receives
in exchange. After his flock has been
sheared he returns it homeward, each
sheep having on its back a small bag
containing the purchased grain.

Every one has heard that old and
popularity accepted story of Marie An
toinette and the starving peasants, and
1t is always told as an illustration of
the heartlessness and carelessness of
royalty concerning the common people.
1t has served its purpose well, but
unfortunately it is not quite true. Mr..
Mattieu Williams gives the correct YER
sion. He says:
1--WE are told that when Marie An
toinette was informed of famine in
the neighborhood of the Tyrol, end of
the starving of some of the peasants
there, she replied: Il would rather eat
pie crust than starve. Some of the
story-tellers, by the way, have it
pastry, others cake. Thereupon the
courtiers giggled at the ignorance of
the pampered princess, who could sup
pose that starving peasants had such
an alternative food as pie crust
1.-The ignorance, however, was all on
the side of the courtiers and those who
repeat the story in its ordinary form
The princess was the only person in the
court who really understood the hab-
its of the peasants of the particular
districts in question. They cook their
meat, chiefly young veal, by rolling it
in kind of dough made of sawdust,
mixed with coarse -four to hold it to-
gether, then placing in an oven or
wood embers until the dough is hard
ened to tough crust and the meat is
roasted throughout to the proper point
of cooking. Marie Antoinette said she
would rather eat pie crust than starve,
knowing that these meat pie crusts
are given to the pigs, and they are
nourished by them, and digest them in
spite of the wood sawdust.

a LOVE STORY.
An oft-Rcpeated Scene in an Old World
Garden.


Garden.
An old world garden, so peaceful
quiet and still, whore the roses noe
their heads in the summer breeze
whispering round them the secrets
Of the high, overhanging trees, bring
ing them, too the music of the tiny
fountain blitholy dancing in the sun
light while rejecting back their
brightness in thousand pearly
tints, and singing sweetly all the
live-long day to the ripping brook
vending far away through the mead
ows beyond, to lose itself amid way
ing fields of corn, cleaning like
yellow gold in the valley below.
On the close-cropped grass plat,
ringed over and over, where the
fairies hold their court on its green
carpet night after night, stands an
old moss-covered sun-dial, marking
off the hours, keeping steady pace
with the march OF time. How many
love tales could that old dial tell;
the same sweet story had been
poured out so often by its stones
that it must know it all-the signs
and tears, the sweet love whispers,
the hot, swift words that sprang so
quickly from the parted lips, the
faltering answer SO low as to hardly
break the stiffness as tho seconds
pass under the shadows OF the dials
face.
A young man, strong and straight
as an Apollo, kneeling by its weath-
err beaten stones, is pouring out his
love story to a dainty maiden SO
small and fragile that almost the
fairies might claim her for their
own. There is a delicate rose flush
under the tender skin of the maiden's
face, while her eyes are shaded from
sight under long dropping lashes,
and the sweet lips are poutingly
curved as her little hands push back
the roses he offers her so tenderly.
Her blue eyes cloud moment as she
turns away her dainty head.
Then you don't love me any more,
Mignonp And pluckcd these pret-
ty roses all for you, and these wild
flowers to Irvine in your hair and
crown YOU q queen, my queen, my lit
tie queen, Mignon," A tender thrill
runs through the young mans voice
"Mignon, am [ to go awayP Don't
you want my love any moreP Isyour
love like the roses and wild flowers,
as quickly dying, Mignon?" His
face comes closer to hers, and one
arm steals gently around the tiny
waist, "Mignon," his pleading voice
goes on, 'You love me; you're only
making believe not to-"
Does dimple steal into the maid
ems cheek and the eyes shyly CLAN leo
at the brave fellow kneeling at her
feet in aH-Tsko. glorious strength oil
his young manhood The tiny arms
are clasped tightly around his neck,
her dainty cheek close presses his,
and in whisper sweet and low,
while the seconds pass under the
shadow on the old dial's face, comes
the answer he awaits-'I does 'ove
90, papa"

Since October /, Joseph johnson of
West. Salisbury township, Chester
county, Pa, has lost 200 chickens,
geese, ducks and turkeys. The snow
at last enabled him to track the
robbers. He found their home in a
hole in the hillside near by. With a
little powder and pick he unearthed
the thieves, and was astonished to find
two large polecats that his blast of ex-
plosive had killed. The cavity in
which the polecats lived was immense
and in it were the skeleton remains of
his lost fioclss and fully feathers
enough to make two large feather
beds.
