CLEVER TRICK OF A SHEEP.
1t Followed It's Master Around Until il
Got What it Wanted.

1t Followed Its Master Around Until it
Got What it Wanted.
Two years ago a lamb owned by a
gentleman whose farm lies close to
Tough Foyle was left motherless, says
the London Spectator. A yardman in
charge of the flock nursed and fed the
little orphan. She became very tame
and was much petted by her masters
children. Last year she had grown into
a young sheep, with lamb of her own.
One day some dogs ran through the
pasture grounds, and the frightened
flock scattered and fed through the
field, which was large one, sloping to-
ward the shore. The yardman, Aleck.
banished the intruders and collected the
sheep, as he supposed, into safety.
An hour or two afterward the pet
sheep rushed past the dwelling house.
apparently in great distress. With pite-
Gus bleatings she went to the lodge gate,
where Aleck was sitting at his monday
meal, and, coming close to him, seemed
to seek his aid. AS he rose from the
table she ran out of the house and
straight through the pasture to the
shore. He followed her and soon saw
the cause Of her alarm Her lamb, terri
fed by the dogs, had fed to a little PENN
sula among the rocks, which the incom-
ing tide had transferred into an island.
Of course it could not cross the strait,
and the mother could not save it, there
fore she applied to the power and SYM
Dathy of her human friend. Her trust
in his help was not disappointed, and
she and her rescued offspring were soon

AFTER A LIVING MAsToDoN.
Prof. Dyche of Kansas Has Gone
Alaska to Look for One.

Prof. Dyche of Kansas Has Gone to
Alaska to Look for One.
The recent departure of Prof. L. l..
Dyche of the Kansas university has
given rise to several stories as to his
destination. Some have asserted that
he was bound for Greenland, where he
proposed to secure the large meteorite
which Lieut.. Peary claims to have first
seen.
To a correspondent of the Chicago
Record Prof. Dyche said that his des-
tination was Alaska, and that while there
he would try to learn something of the
truth of the stories which are told Of
living mastodon in the upper valley of
the Yukon river.
Tusks of the finest ivory have been
found there, and of the circular form
peculiar to mastodons. Recent letters
from Alaska say that the meat of
mastodon was brought into Circle City
by hunters who asserted that they killed
the animal. The meat had the thick
hide and the long hair of the mastodon,
but as none of it was preserved scientists
are not convinced that it vas the flesh
of a mastodon.
While it is not disputed that masto-
dons once lived in Alaska, it is thought
doubtful if any are now alive. Even
the existence of the flesh would not
prove the existence Of the living animal
as the body of one might be preserved
for centuries in the icy Businesses Of that
frigid region.

Third-rail Surface Road Tested.

The novel third-rail surface electric
equipment of the New York, New Haven
Nantasket Junction to East Weymouth,
Mass, described in the Western Elec-
trician of June Is, was tested on June
26. An open car containing Col. Heft.

party of invited guests attained speed
of over GO miles an hour against breeze
blowing IS miles an hour. The test was
most satisfactory.
The car sped along without any diff
ficulty or accident, crossings were passed
and the shoe struck the third rail again
jmperceptibly. Near West bingham is
a crossing some 1900 feet wide; added
impetus was given to the motor car and
this crossing was passed without diff

sheen jumping HEDGES.

Anent sheep jumping hedges, | may
venture here to tell a tale of certain
old rogue who went by the name Of
Tup-Harry. This is how he got his nick
name. Harry was a small farmer, and
he had a neighbor with better means and
a better farm than his own. One very
dry season Harry had come to the end
of his grass for a flock of sheep he
possessed. His neighbor had, however,
got fine field of mangel-wurzel. Harry
looked over the hedge-a hedge furnished
with outstanding slates-and greatly
longed for these mangels for his sheep;
but he did not relish the risk of being
caught taking them. So he went in the
evening into his field, that was bare Of
grass, put his head against the hedge,
bent his back, and called: "Tup! Tup!
Tupw whereupOn up ran his old ram.
jumped on his back, went on to the
hedge, and over into the mangel field.
and all the flock IN Indian file scampered
after him over the back of Harry.
Very early in the morning the rogue
went into the devastated mangel field,
put his head against the hedge, bent his
back, and called: 'Tup! Tup! Tup!" and
up came the ram, ran over his back on
to the hedge, and returned to the barren
quarter again, followed in Indian file
by all the flock. That was done several
times, and no signs appeared anywhere
of the hedge being broken through, or of
a padlocked gate having been opened.
At last the farmer who was robbed hid
himself one night, and saw the whole
proceeding. Tup-Harry did not try that
trick on again.-Chambers' Journal.

The largest single plant in the world
for carrying on the pulp and paper bust
ness is said to be that located at Corinth,
N. Y, where some $4,000 cords of Can
ada short wood and $4,000 cords of logs
are used annually, while the wood car
rier or trestle is 1928 feet in length and
wood The branch and yard railroad
consists of four miles of tracks and
about seventy carloads of logs and wood
are received daily. The amount of print
ing paper manufactured is some 100 IONS
a day, this vast amount being sent not
only to the various great cities Of the
union, but about $50 tons month are
shipped to England and Australia. The
manufacture of wood pull per day. with
the new wheels furnishing 15,000-horse-

of 125 tons of paper. Forty tons of sui

In n school OF pornoises.

The schooner Ulunda. which recently
arrived in Halifax from Liverpool en-
countered an enormous school of por-
poises pursued by about two dozen large
whales, just before it came to port. 1t
is estimated that there were over 1900
PROPOSES in the school. They were seen
about fifteen miles east of Halifax, and
jumped about the vessels sides in evil
dent terror of their pursuers. The sea
was black with them. and they rushed
through the water like mad, with the
great putting whales close in the rear.
Old salts say they never saw anything
like it on the American coast.-New

A WINGED Foe to Onails.

A bird that has gained for itself the
fame of being the most proficient game
destroyer in the northern part of Hi
nois is the cooper's hawk. 1t is especial
ly destructive to quails. An old accusa-
ton is brought against the cooper's
hawk. 1t is alleged that it rushes at a
bevy of quails with such fierceness that
the scared birds leap into the air and
dash themselves against trees or other
objects. In this way the cooper's hawk
is said to cause the death of a good
many more quails than it actually kills.
Breeding from Newfoundland to Mex

sets, as it does, the cooper's hawk as a
species feeds on a variety of kinds of
