..ew Zealand sheep.

Up to ten years ago the only
means New Zealand sheep growers
had OF getting rid Of their surplus
stock was to boil the carcasses down
and ship the tallow. Tallow dropped
in price until it did not pay to ex-
port it, and the consequences was
that the price OF sheep fell until
they anticipated having to sell the
scarcasses from twelve TO eighteen
cents each About five years age;
the system of freezing the carcasses
for export was introduced, and the
result has been u decrease of stock
until now they receive from $3.50 to
So per head for the carcasses. AT
the average price they are getting in
London markets this makes about
four cents per pound net for the
mutton. They get three clips OF
wool from sheep before the carcass
is shipped, although the demand has
increased to such an extent that
they are now slaughtering yearlings
for shipment.
New Zealand now exports about
100000 cross bred sheep. Aus
tralia has over 100, 600, 600 sheep and
exports about 10000 sheep frozen.
No stock has to be fed artificially in
Australia. In New Zealand stock
must be fed in the winter if kept fat.
1t is believed that Australia caI
easily double her exports OF cattle
and sheep if value would warrant it.
A substantial increase in Australian
exports is expected in the near fu-
ture. and a plan has been formed to
conduct the export business by the
producers of the animals, thereby
saving the expense of tile middle.
men. Arrangements are being made
for the erection Of numerous pack
ing establishments, refrigerating
facilities, etc. 1t is plain that our
meat export trade is to meet the
strongest competition from the An.

First of all, he must change his
money. This can be done at the
island, where firm of money brokers
has purchased the sole right to money
changing. The immigrants savings
are brought from all sorts of extraor'
dinary hiding places. sometimes from
the depths of stockings, from, the in.
side of waists, where nothing short OF
knife or pair of scissors can secure
its release, from shoes and belts, and
even from the mouth.
To watch Money Changer Scully at
work is one of the most interesting
sights on the island. The rapidity
with which he changes into current
coin of the republic Russian roubles,
italian lire, German marks, French
francs, English sovereigns and Aus
trian forms is marvellous. Only one
glance seems necessary, and the hand
goes down into one of the well-filled
cash drawers. Two or three seconds
later and the amount of exchange lies
before the immigrant with a paper
showing how much has been exchanged,
and the bewildered foreigner is told
to stand back to make room for the
next applicant. He might as we'll
take it for granted that the amount is
correct las, of course, it is) for, if lie
looked at it with that air of stunned
stupidity for an hour, he would not
know anything more about the strange
money than before. Occasionally one
solder than the rest will make an at

c,cious. The bicycling craze left him
in body more hopeless and helpless
than ever. A neighboring bicycle
manufacturer agreed to make wheel
which the boy could ride, AMI he did
SO. His one hand guides the handle
bar and bars of steel lead up from the
pedals to the short stumps which he
has known as legs. Strange to say,
he experienced very little trouble in
balancing the machine. He began
riding about three weeks ago, and af-
ter three or four hours instruction
and practice he made half mile on q
track in less than three minutes. He
can now do mile in less than five
minutes, and expects to reduce the
time to four minutes. He has already
made half mile in I'm. los. He has
learned to dismount, and can han5le
his wheel readily and without assist
ance. He has to be assisted, though,
when he mounts, but he expects soon
to be able to do this alone.
De Kalb seems to have more than
her share of bicycle riding cripples.
A year ago one of the young women
of the town had leg taken off by the
cars. She now rides bicycle very
creditably, it is said.

Professor Runnebaum, of Berlin,
sent by the German Government to
examine the timber resources OF our
Pacific coast, expresses amazement at
the waste he witnessed there. He
says the end Of American forests is
near at hand unless they are protected
by law against reckless cutting and
confagrstions. While the leading
countries of Europe are trying to
make trees grow the Americans are
sweeping away not only the mature
trees, but the saplings, which are the
rightful heritage of future genera
tions. "5f nothing is done by your
Government" in his opinion, ''you
may live to see lumber shipped from
Germany to Puget Sound" When
the professor was in Oregon and
Washington the whole coast was dark
ened with the smoke from fires de-
rouring enormous tracts of timber
unsurpassed in the world. His remark
that the life of the forests is the life
of the people is, in the opinion OF the
New York Tribune, no flourish OF
rhetoric.

up, Join the circle, until thousands of
them are in the mad whirl. At 7.15,
with no apparent signal, they begin
to pour into the chimney like water
from a pitcher. Down they tumble,
thousands of them, until one wonders
if there is an underground outlet to
the chimney, which hardly seems large
enough to hold them all. In few
minutes they are out of sight.
After all are in, come a few strag-
glers who attempt to enter the Chin
ney also. These are driven away by
the birds inside. Then the stragglers
fly up until they reach the spot where
the general whirl commenced, and
they, too, fly around the circle several
times and then dive into the chimney.
There are always a number of Curl
Gus people in front of the building
watching the birds. One old colored
man is there every evening. He says
he has watched the birds for several
years in this great act OF chimney fill
ing. They always choose dead CHM
ney somewhere about the city for
their lodging house. Last year they
occupied large brick chimney on

migrants.
A sorry-looking crowd is this last.
From the detention pen they watch
the fortunate ones who pass the bar
rier with envious eyes, looking eager
ly at every stranger who approaches
them to see if there is not some hope
coming froms somewhere. In all the
driven anl badgered crowd that passes
to the boats there is none which is not
light-hearted, for the red tape ordeal
is over. The prisoners in the deten-
tion pen have nothing to buoy them
up. After coming all this way to reach
this land of promise, they get only 9
glimpse and are sent back to the will
derness again.
One OF the queerest personages on
the island is the barber. 1t is hardly
correct to call his place q shop, for it
is merely corner of the big room
where the barber has placed chair
and hung up mirror and towel or
two. Judging from the condition of
the majority of the immigrants, the
barber is an institution sadly needed
at Ellis Island, but few seem to utilize
his services, advertised at the prices
of twenty cents for hair cut and ten
cents for shave.
The cremetory at Ellis Island is an
other very necessary accessory. 1t is
not intended for the cremation of hu-
man bodies, but merely to give the

f: a Tramp's chIvaIryI

One winters day the late lamented
King of Tramps, Harry Villiers, met q
woman in the streets of Bangor, Me-,
loaded with valise and evidently in
very miserable frame OF mind. she
looked so woe begone that he doffed
his hat and accosted her in his usu-
ally courtly fashion. She told o
story of hunger, loss OF position
through sickness and OF eviction from
her own poor room because she
could not pay the rent. All that
excited Harry's ready sympathy. =.

said he, Il would assist you in the
rich mans fashion-perhaps give
you dollar, perhaps pass by on the
other side. But I'm tramp and LII
have to help you in the tramp
fashion.
He begged a warm corner in an
engine room for her, hunted up some
food at neighboring back doors and
when the poor woman was warmed
and fed he shouldered her valise and
told her to follow him. She did so.
He marched straight into the coun-
try for half a dozen miles, then ap-
preached farm house where he waa

recommendation She was hired ana

One OF the worst sources OF annoy
ance to the officials are the crowd OF
relations that flock to Ellis Island to
meet incoming passengers. They are
always in the most intense state OF ex-
citement and it is all that the gate
keepers can do to prevent them break
ing down the barriers in the mad rush
to get inside of the enclosure.
There being no police on the island
it is necessary for the officials to take
the law into their own hands and
maintain order by force. 1t would
be decided improvement if some OF
the strongest and most reliable men
on the island were sworn in to act as
special policemen.
An old landmark of the island is
gradually yielding to the in6rmitses
of age. This is the historical tree on
which the pirates, Hicks, Wormsley
and Gibbs, were hanged when the
place was known as Ellis Island. The
tree was damaged during the storms
of last winter. and has recently been
broken off short by the wind. All that
is left of the tree now is about seven
feet of bare trunk, and this the Ellis
Island gardener is making every effort
to preserve. -

at present are in such high favor.
They are worn all the year round
Sometimes there is only the narrow
edge of the cuff showing from under
the sleeve, but the wide ones turned
back over the sleeve are worn the
most. They are made of the plain
white linen or the yellow, and some
are edged with different colors, and
others are in stripes or figured.
Daintier ones are of linen and edged
with embroidery and rows of insertion,
and others are of the finest cambria
and the most costly lace. With all of
these they have collars to match, and
all OF them are turned over. We have

collars are very popular and are made
in dozen different ways. There are
