Both Trolley and Cable.

A rather unique device is in use by
San Francisco railway to overcome a
% per cent grade on an electric line.
There are two tracks on this grade for
cars going in different directions. On
the grade there is a conduit like that
for cable roads, and it contains an end
less cable passing over pulleys at the
two ends. An up-going and down.
going car are attached to this cable
by men stationed at the grades, and
the two cars then work together by the
use of their own motors, the one going
down hill assisting the one which is
going up. The system was tested a few
weeks ago for the first time, and was
found to operate successfully. 1t has
since been working to perfect satisfac-
ton. 1t was found that the power Of
the down-going car is far more than
is necessary for hauling the ascending
car under any possible conditions Of
load

Improvement I'm RrItish sheen.

A writer in the London Agricultural
Gazette on the progress of improve
ment says OF British sheep breeding:
ut is obvious that very much has been
accomplished within the last hundred
years. There has been an enormous
Improvement in the fiocks OF the coun-
try generally; in other words, there
has been q great leveling-up OF the av-
erage, and Great Britain now undoubt-
ediy possesses more good sheep and less
bad ones in proportion to its area than
any other country IN the world. Is the
best Leicester or the best Southdown
OF today superior as breeding and
reeding animal, as a mutton and WOOL
producer, to the best of those bred by
Robert Blackwell and John Gilman?
rms is difficult, probably an impos-
sible question to answer, for there are
no means OF accurate comparison. If
we were to take market value as an in
dex, IL would have to be admitted that
BLACKWELL obtained prices for the use
OF his rams which have, we believe,
never been exceeded in this country.
Thus in 1889 he is recorded to have let
three rams for 200 gs. $4,000, and
seven others for 1000 gs., and we are
nor aware that these prices have since
peen equaled. But it must be admitted
that he had monopoly for the time,
ana he consequently obtained monopo-
ilst prices, and that no one has since
had the same opportunity.
Within the last half century breed
ers have devoted themselves largely To
what may be termed the development
and accentuation of varieties or
breeds" The special characteristics
OF particular breeds have been assidu-
ously cultivated, so that the differences
between them have become more
marked. A sticking for absolute "pu-
rity" of breed, which amounts almost
10 pedantry, is the main characteristic
OF the breeders of the present day. In
thls there is no doubt that they differ
from the earlier breeders. Blackwell
certainly had no conjunction about
crossing and many of his followers
were equally addicted to effecting i'm
proVements by this means. Nowadays
the breeder relies entirely upon selec-
tlons within the limits Of the breed, and
crossing Is regarded as a cardinal sin.

HIS GREATEST COMPLIMENT
1t Was Paid to Forrest by a Famous
Indian Chief.


THAT picture reminds me Of one of
the most thrilling incidents Of my life"
said a venerable, white-haired gentle
man, Mr.. r. 3. Simms Of South Caro-
lima, pointing to the magnificent and
much-admired portrait Of Edwin For
rest that adorns the walls Of the Hotel
Page, says the Washington Post. 1T
certainly is a splendid likeness OF the
great actor, and carries one back to a
certain memorable occasion many years
before the civil war, when he was fill
ing an engagement in Charleston, play
ing nightly to large and enthusiastic
audiences. / was q mere lad and was
wild with delight when the night came
and 1 could go to hear him. In the
audience was the celebrated Indian
chieftain Osceola, and half a dozen OF
his braves, who were then captives.
They had been pining in confinement
and, prompted by the humane motive Of
affording them some diversion, the
authorities took them to hear Forrest
play. His grand looks and majestic fig
ure caught the copper-hued auditors at
once, and they appeared entranced from
the very outset. Forrest soon observed
the strange group and Immediately
formed a design to interest them par
ticularly, for suddenly in the midst OF
stirring scene he emitted an Indian
war-whoop. 1t fairly electrified his au-
dience, and the effect on Osceola and his
party was magical. Jumping to their
feet instantaneously, they gave back an
answering whoop that rent the air with
its mighty roar, and fairly chilling the
blood of many a nervous nearer. Two
or three ladies' tainted. The whole thing
was so sudden, so strange and startling
that 1t made a vivid and lasting impress
sion on every soul in that assemblage.
Forrest was frequently heard to recall
the episode, and he was wont to declare
that the action of those untutored war
rlors was the greatest compliment ever
paid to his powers as an actor"

women's share of Lovemaklnr.

False modesty frequently deters wom-
en- from doing their share of love max
ing. From fear OF being considered over
bold they are apt to be overshy, and
thus discourage attentions which they
secretly desire, says an exchange.
Women are as we'll entitled as men to
express their love, only each sex has its
own way-man with words, woman with
manners. The one Is quite as expressive
as the other; and, in either case. the
more dellcately expressed the better. A
woman who does not express her at

to be loved. It is altogether foolish. be-

Hampshiredowns.

The Hampshiredown has been
Weil-known for about 100 years,
FEEDING on the short grass that
covers the chalky hills or downs"
or Hampshire county, England, from
whence it derives its name. 1t is the
taHest Of the four principal breeds in
England. 1t is large boned, long
bodied and long-legged, and easily
identified as a breed by its face and
ears. The face is long, with prominent
frontal bones or bony protuberances
over the eyes; the face has a decided
Roman profile; thick hanging under
lip; face and legs are glossy black.
The best authorities say: THAT black
tips to the ears, as well as very black
faces, are deemed essential, and any
light color or specks on face or ears, as
sometimes seen in Shropshires and
Southdowns, are regarded with dislike
and discredit." The ears are very
long, thin and oily to the touch, defici-
ent in wool covering and seem almost
bare; arc set close to the eyes, low
down on side Of head, and inclined to
droop to the hind feet; wool is of me-
dunn length, about two and one-half
inches, and is thick and even, contain
ing considerable natural oil, and of fine
fiber, with an inclination to mat on
under side.

Poultry and eggs vary greatly in ia
vor and palatableness. Food has a
great influence on the flesh and eggs
of fowls, says the Baltimore Sun. When
hens are fed on offal and food that is
unclean, their eggs will have sometimes
peculiar taste. An epicure will quick
ly notice the faint or unnatural flavor
of such eggs or poultry meat.
Eggs from such a source have been
known to produce serious cases of chol-
era morbus, and the trouble blamed on
everything else except the real cause.
The public now demand good poultry
and eggs, and the scrawny specimens
of dressed poultry and the eggs that
used to contain about eleven different
sizes in every dozen are becoming
scarce.
Tho size and appearance OF dressed
poultry has been greatly improved, as
have also the eggs. There is also much
more uniformity in both.
These things are not the result. how
ever, of tree roosting, hunt-for-a -liy-
ing chickens. The owners of focks
kept in the old-styled way still get old
fashioned results.
