The wool Of the sheep is an efficient
protection against cold, so long as 1t
is kept dry. When wet it only adds
to the sleeps discomfort, as the wool,
being porous, exhales moisture very
rapidly and cools its body accordingly.
With dry place to sleep in sheep will
never suffer from cold except at the
lambing time, when warm place is
always necessary. In rainy weather
it is better to keep the sheep shut up
in their shelter. They are anxious to

they would know they were better un-
der shelter. The owner can Judge bet

NOTHING LIKE 1T.
Or. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy Makes
Another Remarkable Cure.
From the Times Union, Albany, n. "

(From the Times Union, Albany, n. W
Four years ago, Mrs. Markham,
who resides on First Street, corner of
North Swan, noticed a sensitive spot
on her left limb. 1t was apparently
nothing serious, but soon developed
into a sore, and before long the limb
was mass OF ulcers. Markham en-
ployed some of our best physicians,
but obtained no relief. In fact, was
told that nothing could be done for
her, so for four years she suffered with
these dreadful ulcers, which had eaten
their way to the bone.
A little less than year ago, an
acquaintance told her about DR..
David Kennedys Favorite Remedy,
and that he believed she would find
relief in using it. Mrs. Markham's S
four years Of suffering had made her
skeptical, the more so, as she had OBJ
tanned no relief from any of the ply
sicians who had attended her.
The friend offered to send her a
bottle OF DIR. kennedys Favorlte
Remedy if she would try it. He did
so, and there was such decided i'm
provement that she concluded to give
the remedy fair test To day, not
quite year after taking the first dose,
the ulcers have disappeared, all thai
is left to show what she has suffered,
is swelling on the ankle of the left
limb, which is fast disappe airing

In America it has been observed that
bees often bore tubular corollas In Or
der to get at the nectar of flowers, in
stead of entering by the mouth as
humble bees do in Europe. In essays
on the cross fertilization of flowers
this supposed anomaly has been the
subject of much comment. 1t now ap-
pears that the humble bees Of Europe
and America have identical habits in
regard 10 the manner in which the
visits to flowers are made, and that it
is the class of insects known as the
carpenter bee, or the borer. which

pockets of the adventures who work.
ed the enterprise.
This is only one of similar under
takings. Sixty years ago the $780,
100000 Of the Hyde estate nearly
turned Lancaster county upside
down, and Tbaddeus Stevens prose
cuted a man who had collected money
for pushing the claim. Stevens hated
James Buchanan, and was delighted
to learn that he had paid $Ioo for a
share in the prospective millions. So
he put Buchanan in the witness box
and fairly tore him in two, but
Stevens matchless impudence was
fairly met when the other side brought
witness who testified that Stevens
was himself subscriber, and that he
had, moreover, paid money for the
same object for the benefit of Rose
Barrack, notorious character in
Lancaster at that time. This was for
years an irritating reminiscence to the
great Commoner.
There is now Scotsman named
Martin in this city exploiting claim
to an alleged fortune left by James
Aiken, of Ayre, Scotland. A4o,o ,ooo,-
900, he says, have been waiting clal-
mants since 1883. He called on l..
c. Harting, Fifth street, above Race,
not long ago, with the benevolent
purpose of making that gentleman
rich, as his mother was a Scotch
Aiken. His terms were $50 for a
typewriter statement of the claim,
but he was at once shown the door.
While nothing can exceed the greed
and creduhty of those who are caught
in these frauds, the slightest intelli-
gence is equal TO the task of exposing
them. The Gray's Inn Law Almanac
is one of the means. In 1869 an act
was passed by the British Parliament
escheating TO the crown all unclaimed
funds that had been in chancery for
over fifteen years, and the amount
taken was 2a,327,S2S, and on the
25d of February, 1894, the funds in
chancery amounted to only eos 1000.
This at once disposes Of the T4o,o 900,
900 of the Aiken fortune.
There is now a movement, backed
by abundant capital in Cleveland,
Ohio, to recover the Holmes estate,
and it is alleged that 44oo, coo be-
longing to it are now lying in the
Irish Court of Chancery. In fact, in
1894 there was just SI5,ooo in GUS
tody of that court. Again in 1884
the statute of limitations was applied
in all cases where the estates had
reverted to the crown, and after
twenty.one years recovery was barred
save by act OF Parliament.
1t is therefore impossible that an
estate, either in lands or money, car
lie unclaimed for century, as all oi
these alleged fortunes do, but nothing
can match TIE greed or equal the
credulity of Americans, and they will
still listen to stories of superstition:

Aladdin and his lamp probable

THE SMALLEST COMMONWEALTH.
ills About Mile in Diameter and Has

1t Is About a Mile in Diameter and Has a
Population of 55 Persons.
From the Philadelphia Record.
The smallest commonwealth of the
world is the little republic Tavolara,
upon the little island of the same name,
situated some seven or eight miles south
of the Island Of Sardinia. Tavoara is
an island one mile in diameter and .inhab-
tied at present by 55 people, men, women
and children. In 1886 Karl Albert, then
King of Sardinia, bestowed the suprem-
acy over this little isle upon the Bartol-
eoni family and for 46 years King
Paul reigned in peace IN his dominion.
He died on May so, 1882, and shortly
before his demise called all his faithful
subjects to his bedside and declared it
to be his earnest desire that none Of his
relatives should succeed him as the head
of the government in the island, but
that he considered it for the best that
the good people of Tavolara should gov
ern themselves. After this last wish no
candidate for the vacated throne could
be found among the family of the de-
ceased who used to consider their
Kings" wish law, and the little island
remained ungoverned for four years. At
last, in 1886, the little island was declar-
ed republic. Their constitution gives
elective franchise to both men and
women; a president is elected for six
years. None of their officers receive any
compensation.

WANTS TIE SLAVE TRADE.
A Most Remarkable Utterance From a
Negro Bishop

Most remarkable Utterance From a
Negro Bishop.
one OF the most remarkable utterances
OF recent date is letter printed in the
Atlanta Journal from Bishop Turner.
himself negro. He desires to have the
African slave trade re-established in the
interest of the negroes. He says:
l am in favor of reopening the Afri can
slave trade. Millions and millions of
slaves are still in Authorizations hold
each other in slavery; but the enslaved
are brought in contact with no higher
civilization. On the contrary, they are
more brutalized and are the absolute
victims OF the caprice and vengeance of
their heather masters, to the extent of
losing sheir lives at their masters whim.
would 1t not be infinitely better to catch
the masters and slaves both and sell
them into such slavery as God himself
instituted or directed to be observed
among the ancient Hebrews?
Make them work six years and on the
seventh give them their freedom and re-
turn them to Africa, unless they desired
to serve longer If so, let them 90 on
as God directed before some functionary
of the law and say so and serve out
longer time, but in no instance longer
than twelve years.
At all events, millions and millions of
Africans who are now running around
in state of nudity, fighting, necromanc-
ing, masquerading and doing everything
that God disapproved of, would be work
ing and beneftting the world in some
form at this moment.
Such slavery would pay both ways
pay the master and pay the mastered.
Nor would it ever end in bloodshed, for
it would be in keeping with Gods own
recipe or prescription.
Bishop Turner makes out strong case
for the position he assumes and it may
be probable that he is right. There is
not even the remotest possibility, how
ever, that it viii eyer be carried into eff
feet.

Definition of Home.

A prize was offered recently by Lon
don Tid-Bits for the best answer to the
question, 'What is home?' Here are a
few of the answers received:
The golden setting, in which the
brightest jewel is ''mother."
A world of strife shut out, world of
love shut in.
Home is the blossom of which heaven
is the fruit.
The only spot on earth where the
faults and failings of fallen humanity
are hidden under the mantle of charity.
The place where the great are some
times small and the small often great.
The fathers kingdom, the children's
paradise, the mothers world.
The jewel casket, containing the most
precious of ali jewels-domeStic happi-
ness.
Where you. are treated best and you
grumble most
Home is the central telegraph office of
human love, into which run innumer-
able wires of affection, many of which,
though extending thousands of miles,
are never disconnected from the great
terminus.
The center of our affections, around
which our hearts best wishes Irvine.
A little hollow scoop out of the windy
hill of the world, where we can be
shielded from it's cares and annoyances.

NEWS AND VIE WIS.

A sickening story of crime and de-
pravity comes from Twiggs county, IN
this state. A farmer named Mobiles was
murdered by a negro and it appears that
the mans wife paid the murdered ten
dollars to put her husband out of the
way, and that her young daughter had
full knowledge of the horrible affair and
kept the secret until after her mother and
the murderer had been arrested.
Judge Emory Speer has been desig-

third Judge to sit with them and Judge
Speer has been chosen. This will be the
first time he has presided in the circuit

compensation.

Crowds Went Up Into, the Woods to See
and Taste 1t.
From the Philadelphia Times.
While spending Sunday in the woods
at the edge of Smithton, William Wal
lace and Frank Jones, of this place, dis
covered a small spring containing
genuine rye whisky. Wallace upturned
a stone and discovered a strong odor of
liquor. Calling his companion, they dug
few inches into the ground and
found the soil moist with the stuff. A
sharp stick sunk into the ground came
out wet and the men secured pick.
Down between the rocks on the side OF
the hill they found the spring, which
contained about two gallons of the stuff.
1t was removed, and the DISCOVERIES
say tasted better than any they ever
drank. The spring soon filled up again
and the men became too much interested
to continue digging.
The whole town went up to the woods
yesterday afternoon. Where the whisky
came from was the perplexng question.
Finally man was found who had heard
of distilIery at that spot many years
ago. Investi cations showed number
of barrels of liquor had been deposited
in an old cellar which had been filled in.
The barrels had become decayed, and
the liquor ran down the side of the hill
through a crack in the rocks into the
stone bottom below, where they discov-
cred it. Wallace and Jones say they
wish they had kept quiet about their
find.
