SHETLAND WOOL
II In Plucked from the Backs OF the

Sheep.
The chief characteristic OF Shetland
hosiery is the extreme fneness of the;
wool used. This wool, says Chambers
Journal, is obtained from the native
Shetland sheep, an animal of decidedly
meager appearance, and which south
ern fockmaster would be inclined to
"have none Of" Nevertheless, this
humble beast, picking up a scanty liv-
ing on the bleak hillsides where its
larger relatives would starve, produces
wool of remarkable fineness; and when
it is mentioned that the natural colors
vary from black and white to an endless
variety of grays, browns, fawns, and
chestnuts of many shades locally called
"moorit,") it will be seen that the Shet-
land people have ready to their hand
raw material of the most suitable kind
for their purpose.
In connection with the fineness of
the wool, the method of taking it from
the sheep is worthy of note. It is not
clipped or shorn in the usual way; but
at the proper season is literally plucked
from the back of the animal, it being
averred that shearing tends to deterio-
rate the quality of every succeeding
fleece; and, of course, to keep the yield
Of wool as fine as possible is real desid
eratum. The plucking referred to
usually appears to strangers to be a
cruel eXpedient; but in reality the
sheep seems to. suffer no more from it
than from ordinary shearing. ..-..

TRADE DEVICES ON WHEELS.

Trunks, Hats and Other Things Made
to Serve as the Bodies of Wagons.
Various familiar articles of trade are
used as models for the bodies of deliv-
cry wagons. Of those the trunk is, per-
haps, the most commonly used, says the
New York Sun. Wagons made with
the body in the semblance of a big
trunk may be seen in many cities, the
delivery wagons of the dealers in trunks
and kindred articles. Perhaps the next
most familiar is the wagon with the
body in the form of great hat, the de-
livery wagon of a halter. Another
form not unfamiliar is that of the great
shoe, made of metal and mounted on
wheels, and used as the delivery wagon
of shoe dealer. Like the great hat the
shoe may be painted or all gilded.
All Of these devices have n seat out
side, in front, and they have a door at
the rear end The shoe is mounted on
the running part, with the toe to the
front. The drivers seat is over the tip
of the toe, or in front of it. The door
by which parcels are got in and cut of
the wagon is in the heel of the great
shoe at the back.
A wagon used for the delivery Of
packages from laundry has body in
the form of a great wash boiler. Per-
haps the latest of these trade devices
on wheels is shown in wagon used for
the delivery of q proprietary article
that is sold in liquid form. In this case
the wagon body is in the shape of a
great bottle.

WEDNESDAY. JANUARY II, 1893
BRYAN ON GAGE.

The words OF VIM. j. Bryan, spok-
en- at tho Jackson Day banquet in
Chicago, should be read and studied
by every citizen OF the land. They
strikingly present the infany Of the
proposition recently submitted by
McKinley's Secretary Of the Treas
ury. There is no uncertain sound in
what he says:
@The present Secretary Of the
Treasury, Mr.. Gage, Is eminently
fitted to be the instrument OF the
financiers in their efforts to complete
the scheme commenced twenty-four
years ago, and continued without in
terruption until the present day. He
possesses a sublime faith in the su-
periority Of money over man, and a
supreme contempt for the rights, the
interests and the opinions of the
people at large. tie knows that the
gold standard was adopted in the
United States without any party ever
asking for it; he knows that for
twenty-three years after its adoption
no party ever dared to commend it;
he knew that III the campaign of
1896 the party composed Of boiling
Democrats was the only party which
dared to declare the gold standard a
blessing; he knows that at the polls
90 per cent Of the voters registered
their opposition to single gold
standard, differing only as to the
means of securing bimetallism; he
knows that the President, to whose
party he owes his position, sent
commission to Europe to beg other
Nations to help us get rid of the gold
standard; he knows that the Senate
and House with scarcely dissenting
voice, appropriated 100000 of the
peoples money to pay the expenses
of the commission, while it was seek
ing relief from the gold standard; he
knows that France, by joining in the
demand for the international bimetal
ism, condemned the gold standard;
heknows that the farmers, the labor.
ers and to a large extent the manu-
facturers of England, desire interna-
tional bimetallism; lie knows that the
maintenance of the gold standard
means unmerited advantage 10 the
money-owning and the BODYBUILDING
classes-is undeserved punishment to
the vast majority of the people of this
country and OF tile civiliz ID world.
And yet, in spite Of his knowledge of
all these facts, he is deliberately plan
ing to fasten the gold standard per.
manently upon the people of the
United States. Not content with adj
vocating policy which places the
destines of 70,0O0,O0O of free men in
the hands of foreign tinanciers, and
permits a few London bankers to
control our standard money, he now
proposes to give to the National
Bank full and complete control of the
paper money OF the Nation"
