II have got some yarn that vas made from
the fleece OF the original 'Mary's little lamb"
said the wife Of a well-known Orange county
lawyer. There are only four strands of it,
and each one is only a few inches in length,
and It cost fifty cents a strand. There Ia no

by the march OF modern Improvement. Among
other devices was a fair called Aunt Tabitha's

ancient spinning wheels, Just as they and their
mothers had spun 1t from the wool in the early
