New ZealAndsiS q country that delies
largely upon the labor of dogs as OPP
posed to, the toll of men, says the New
York Mail! and Express. A man with
several dogs, trained one and all to a
proper pitch, can cope, with the duties
of a large number of men without dogs
in any work that is purely pastoral.
Last year sheep dogs were aniimpor-
tant factorin the care of 16, DOC, 900 sheeps
which produced 100000 pounds of
wool, The dogs are almost as great a
sight as. the sheep: on the four annual
events of mastering, named respective
ly shearing muster (November), stray
glers' muster february, weaving
muster (March) autumn muster (May).
The muster of every sheep on the run
Rimperative, and those are rare excep-
tions where less than four musters are
deemed sufficient. A muster is arranged
on recognized lines. AS nearly as pos
sible the men work in line, within sight
of each other. The top man drives the
sheep gradually down to the man below
him, who passes them on till they reach
the man working the flats. There is no
precise rule, as each man can keep his
mob of sheep till the beat is mustered.
All this time the dogs have been work
ing in every course on the beat, not en-,
masse, but each in his own sphere, as the
shepherd commands. Should he have
half dozen dogs they would comprise
two heading" or leading" dogs, two.
driving" or "huntaways" and two
handy" dogs. The "handy" dog is
dog able to turn it's attention with
equal exactness to anything. There is
little erring; once his education is ac-
complished his owner can depend upon
him in any crisis. The dogs used in
this colony on slfeep farms are selected
from Scots and German coIlies and the
Smithfield sheep dog, and vary as much
in size and class as they do in price. A
dog fitted for the capabilities of small
farm could be purchased for sovereign,
while men who are in residence on back
country stations of 100000 acres re-
peatedly pay from 6 10 to 6 Is for their
fancy.

" On the borders of the Everglades
you often see large yellow spider.
says the Florida Citizen. Hc swil, gs
strong web from two plant twigs on
each side of q path of clear space of
ground and waits for his prey. The web
is in the shape of hammock and tapers
at each end to a fine point, though quite
broad in the middle. The bright color
of the owner seems to mark him out for
destruction-he is clearly defined
against the white sand or dead leaves
and you wonder what he would do for
defense in case of attack. Approach
quietly and he watches you intently.
Now raise your hand suddenly and he
will disappear. While you are wonder
ing what became of him you see first
blur where he had been, then several
spiders, then you catch sight again of
the yellow ball you noticed at first. Re-
peat the performance and the stage eff
feet is renewed. The Disappearance
absolute-there can be no doubt about
it, and the little magician trusts to it
entirely for his protection. How is it
done? AS soon as he is threatened he
starts the vibrations of his airy ham,
mock; these become too rapid for the
eye to follow and he vanishes. AS these
become slower you see blur and then
several spiders as the eye catches him
at different points of his swing until he
finally rests before you.

Should she survive the night and show even n

No communication between those at the Monte

over the frozen crust on snowshoes. Those who
have made the trip report narrow escapes from

sends rushing down the mountain sides, carry
