H. Audley Clarke and Dumont Clarke,
heirs-at-law of the late William 4.

FROZEN MUTTON.
Preparation of the New Zealand Product
for the Market.

for the Market.
The reason why Argentine mutton
generally is of inferior price to that of
New Zealand has a three-fold eXplana-
ton. In the first place New Zealand
possesses to-day a mutton-produc
breed superior to that known in the
Plate. In the second, the New Zealapta
err feeds his stock during the winter
time with extra forage, while in the Ar
gentine the sheep are allowed to Craze
upon the same bare pampa during the
dead season. The result of this is that
the New Zealander produces an even,
well-grown carcass, while there is sent
home from the Plate one upon which
TASTY covering of fat has been put dur
ing the spring months of the year. The
between the two carcasSes
will readily be noted by anyone who
pays a visit to the cattle market. Third
ly, the freezer in New Zealand freezes
the mutton on account of the breeder;
and in the Argentine the freezer buys
from the breeder. The disadvantage of
the latter system, so long as the breeder
has no knowledge of the requirements
of the market, is apparent. The New
Zealand breeder selects his wether4
with care, rejecting any which will give
an inferior weight, or which are. IN
sufficiently fatteneC for the butcher.
He RENTS them in small droves to the
freezing establishments, and takes
every care that they shall arrive in per-
feet order. The Argentine breeder, OF
The other hand, makes a contract with
the representative of the freezer to sell
a given number; and the latter binds
himself to remove them within a certain
date.-N. Y. Ledger.

A well-knDwn baron whose stables
were among the most elaborate in Paris
told his servants one morning that he
was not going out. But couple of
hours or so later, he had occasion to
alter his plans and order his carriage.
The hostler came back after a short in
terval and announced that the horses
and carriages were in the stables bus
that the coachman had gone around TO
the saddler's and all the grooms were
gone on various errands. The Million
aire instantly left the house, hailed u
cab, drove to the nearest horse dealer and
coachbuilder, brought them back with
him and sold on the spot every one OF
his horses and carriages TO them. What,
then, was the amazement of the small
army Of coachmen and grooms when
they came home to find that clean
sweep had been made ard that their oc-
cupation was gone! Now the baron al.
ways goes about in cabs and says he
prefers them. Record.

ASTONISHING CANDOR.



There are many drawbacks to living
quite beyond the boundaries of ciyiliza-
ton, but the experiences gained must
be rcfreshingly new. From Africa
there comes in private letter an anus
ing story of the reception accorded to
some ladies who were sent to the mis-
sion station at Uganda. Their arrival
caused great joy to the natives, especial
" to the women.
The visitors found that they had
reached land where the most astonish-
ing eandor prevailed, and where it was
quite possible for them to see them
selves as others saw them"
The comments of the natives were al.
ways astounding and often witty.
They gazed long and earnestly at the
waists of the English ladies', and with
ready wit bestowed upon the Hvw-
corners the name of ''slender-middled"
The king, after asking various ques-
tions as to the age and personal history
of his visitors, and having found them
ready to answer any such reasonable
demands for information, next noticed
their ample sleeves, and remarked that
they must put all their food up their
sleeves, for it was very evident that it
did not go inside"
Such comment on one of the i'm
provements of fashion could, of course,
only have been made in a land where
civilization is unknown. 1t might,
however, be somewhat instructive to
look occasionally at the results Of fash
ion through the eyes of an unmitigated
savage. He is at least unprejudlced.-
