About o'clock dense swarm of bees
silently and suddenly swept down Cd
that region, and for nearly three hours
made the crOsswalks impossible.
Throngs Of people gathered in groups
In the adjoining corners, and drivers
OF vehicles of every description from
time to time made traffic impossible
A humorous side of the occurrences
was when an open car passed. 1t was
compelled to drive through the thick

head-ducking, the speedy covering of
faces, accompanied by the smothered
calculations of the women and the less
elegant explosives Of the men, added
to the fractions antics Of the car
horses and the frantic efforts of the
driver to beat off the bees convulsed
the people on the sidewalk At J.
o'clock three elevated roads employees
sWooped down on the bees. After half
an hour of fruitless efforts to dislodge
them they gave up the fight In disgust.

too self-evident; and the expression on
her face treasured him. She seemed
so innocent as she stood there. her eyes
hidden for a moment by their Well
fringed lids. for she was looking down.
A faint, the very faintest. suspicion
of blush colored her cheeks. there
was a tiny little trembling about the

these small evidences of confusion did
not irritate him as they had done when
he first met her. On the contrary.

Wool and Mutton.

Wool ana M0et00s
Professor Hickman, of the Ohio state
University, gives 1t az his opinion that
it Is impossible to produce the best
quality Of wool and the highest grade
Of mutton from the same carcass. We
are inclined to join issue with Professor
Hickman on this question, for we be-
lieve that there are now bred In this
country sheep that, while growing a
very high quality of wool, IRE, when
slaughtered, excellent mutton. We re-
fer to what are commonly called mutt
ton merinos." They IRE of the Black
top type in shape, having smooth, round
bodies and plump quarters. but the
wool Is not so black at the tips as the
Blacktop fleeces generally are. These
sheep have never been doomed to any
extent. but in central Ohio there are
several flocks of them which, even with
present low prices, are very profitable
They are not claimed to be pure
breed, but are the result from selec-
lions from merino grades, and have
been bred in one direction long enough
so that they breed quite true to type.
They bear q heavy fleece, and the wool
brings the highest price always, and
when the sheep are taken to market
they sell as well as any other breed.
AS price is the only criterion by. which
the value Of anything can be judged,
1t seems to us that these mutton me.

fitable for either wool or mutton, and
