the situation, and with the left arm OF
the operator encircling it's neck and his
hand clutching it's horn or face it has
no chance to escape.
The clipper swings on it's fexibi"
support close to the operator, and when
he has the sheep in the correct position
he reaches for the machine and passes
it through the wool on the breast be-
tween the forelegs. A broad streak of
white shows as the clipper rapidly
mows a swath through the fleece and
the wool falls off in great curl to the
floor. All over the belly of the surprised
sheep the buzzing little machine is
passed, revealing the pink flush of the
skin under the wool. The sleeps posi-
ton is shifted slightly, and the ma
chine with a few sweeps whisks the
wool from it's legs and then the heavy
fleece on its back goes to swell the pile
on the floor. When every part of the
body has been touched by the buzzer
the door of the pen is pushed open by
the operator and the sheep, white and
dazzled, is released and pushed back
into the pen, while another is dragged
out to be clipped.
Two minutes is record time for the
completion of this process, although, of
course, all of the operators are not so
expert as to make this mark. Some
work slowly and carefully, removing
every vestige of wool in neat, system
atical way and leaving the lambs as
clean as a freshly shaved cheek. It
an operator shears 100 sheep day he
is making a good average, and some
fall below this number. When the
sheep is returned to the pen the oper-
ator gathers the wool In little pile
and binds it up with cord hanging
beside him. Down the center Of the
narrow shed between the two rows of
machines runs little track on which
big car is pushed by stout young

sHEARING THE SHEEP.
Machine Does Tt at the Rate of One
Every Two Minutes.

Machine Does 1t at the Kate of One
Every Two Minutes.
When Dick Marques takes sheep
by the hind leg, losses the struggling
animal into position and reaches for
the steam power clippers, which hang
near at hand, it takes just two minutes
for that sheep to emerge from his pro-
fessional care clean and white and
minus about six pounds Of first quality
wool. That Is the way they shear
sheep nowadays in the big plant Of the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Rail-
road, near Aurora, Ill. About three
weeks ago the steam power plant was
started and twenty men have been
steadily bending over the lambs and
sheep ever since, sending the buzzing
clippers scurrying through the matted
wool and making 1900 sheep every
day look as if they had been shaved by
barber. Until now this work was
done by hand, and the process, while
exceptionally rapid, did not yield such
results in many ways as does the
steam shearing.
Although steam shearing plants have
been in operation in Australia for
many years, this country has been
strangely backward about adopting
the system, and sheep raisers have
largely chung to the old hand shearing,
although power plants are in operation
at Casper, Wyo., and in certain parts
of Montana. The system is simple.
The clippers work on the familiar prin-
ciple, of the hand clippers used on
small boys heads in barber shops, a
comb with very sharp triangular teeth
and moving set Of teeth passing
back and forth under it, Shafting is
put in and each clipper~is attached to
flexible standard, which allows the
cutter to be moved in any direction by
the operator. Behind each operator is
small pen into which about a dozen
sheep at time are driven from the
runway. The men wear overalls and
caps and work very steadily. When
the operator is ready to begin he opens
the door of the pen, which causes
great scurrrying among the heavily
f1eeced lambs and sheep. Selecting an
animal at random, the man seizes it by
one of its hind legs, and with a quick
jerk throws it to the floor. Then it is
dragged out Of the pen and the door is
closed. With deft move the sheep is
made to sit up on it's launches, as
though sitting in chair, and when it's
head and forequarters are pressed be-
| tween the knees Of the operator it is
helpless. After a few Intellectual strug-
giles the animal becomes resigned to

The Emperor's Playing Cards.


The Emperor Williams faithful sub
jects are interested just now in an ac-
count of his playing cards. It appears
that the royal table does not admit the
usual French designs. His Majesty's
packs are printed In an AltenbeTg man
ufactory, and exhibit old German pat
terms. The backs are devoted to a
symbolical exposition of the triple al
lance. The Prussian eagle, the double
eagle Of Austria and the silver cross Of
the house of Savoy appear ON a red
field, surrounded with ivy and sur
mounted by the imperial crown. SINH
lar designs are introduced at the cor
ners, and the "four colors'' are strewn
over the card. The picture cards are
executed in corresponding style. The
king of diamonds is said to have q FAM
lily likeness with the great Kurfurst.
The queen of hearts appears as a sim
pie gretchen and the knave Of diamonds
as a knight Of st. John. History does
not relate whether the Emperor is a
whist player or confines himself to the
national game Of skat.-London Post.

NEW OCCUPATION FOR woMEN.
Breeding of Angora Cats Presents
Financial Possibilities for Women.

Breeding of AngOra Cats Presents
Financial Possibilities for Women. ]
sIt is tho general opinion of cat fan
ciers that the culture of Angoras is an
occupation which any young woman
with a fondness for pets and little OF
the commercial instinct may pursue
with profit as well as pleasure. It's an
occupation in which success does not
depend upon special talent. One can
not succeed in literature, music, the
arts, or in teaching, without q course OF
training and an Unborn adaptability,
but the rearing of cats calls for no
mental preparation, or for any rare.
power in any particular direction. Cap
ital, however, is necessary. Angora
cats bring a good price, and it will cost
something to establish kennel. The
amount will depend upon the magni-
tude of the beginning. One may ex-
pend hundred dollars and secure, per-
haps, three choice thoroughbred adults,
or at an outlay of twenty-five dollars,
or whereabouts, one may purchase
male and female kitten and rear them
herself The fitting up suitable ken
mel need not cost much, but there are
important points in the construction
and care of the kennel which should
not be neglected, and which any owner
Of Angoras is always ready to explain.
The essentials for a successful AngOra
kennel are not elaborate. Most i'm
portant is an ample outdoor runway,
made of woven wire, with a roof Of the
same material This should connect
with coy house or dormitory. Both
apartments should be provided with
elevated shelves, as the cats like to
sleep as far from the ground as posi-
BILE. They also enjoy the exercise Of
jumping up to and down from their
elevated perches. Fresh grass and pure
milk are absolute necessities. The An
CORA has been a. much-slandered ami
NAL. The general public believes it to
be delicate in physique and surly and
treacherous in disposition. This is as
far from the truth as is possible. They
are almost uniformly amiable and af
fectionate in disposition, and possess
hardy and vigorous constitutions. They
are full Of interesting eccentricities,
however. Forest Crissey, in Woman's
Home Companion.

Following the visit of their President
to Russia the French papers have been
instructing their readers on the forces
possessed by that country. The Rus
sian army, founded by ukase of 1870
on universal liability to service, can
draw upon annual recruiting lines
something like 10000 in Europe and
100000 in Asia, but in time of peace
many cases of exemption are admitted,
and only about a quarter of the above
numbers, or some 100000 in all, are
called out. The liability is for twenty
years service, commencing at the age
of q. Of this period five years have
to be passed with the colors, but this
may be reduced to four for men of bet
ter education than the average, and
even to three and two for young men
joining direct from the secondary and
superior schools.

After thirty-six wears of faithful ser

After thirty-siX years of faithful SER
vice William J. Quinlan Jr., cashier and
director of the Chemical National Bank
of New York, made a mistake. The
president of the bank and his fellow
directors, on whom much of the burden
of his act must fall, call it by no harsh
er name, and the world has not the
right to do so. Quinlan lent the banks
money on securities which now appear
to be worthless. He seems to have been
the victim of some of those most dan
gerous of lunatics, the oversanguine
promoters of the Col. Sellers type. He
had legal, though not a moral, right
to make the loans. He did not profit q
dollar by them. When he discovered
that he had made a mistake and that
his bank would probably be loser to
the amount of nearly 1898, 900, he made
a simple, direct and frank confession
of the fault, and resigned. The bank
can stand the loss. The heaviest blow
falls upon the devoted gray head Of it's
faithful servant. For he was faithful.
For thirty-six years he had worked for
the bank. He had occupied a position
of the greatest trust. He had held the
institution in almost equal affection
with his family. He had given to its
growth and development his most
watchful care and the acutest powers
of his mind. He had passed upon hun
dreds of dollars worth of securities for
it, placed millions of dollars of its mon
ey, always with the feeling that what
he did would be of benefit to the insti-
tuition he served, and taking deep salts
faction in it. How, them did he do the
bank this injury? That is the ques-
ton. The directors say it was tempo
rary alteration. They say he lent thou
sands to man to whom no sane cash
Ter would have lent silver quarter.
This is charitable and possibly incor
rect. 1t may be that long success de-
ceives, and that as age advances men
must watch themselves more and more
closely, lest they blunder. At best it is
a mystery.

1t is not long since Jules Verne first
entertained the world with his marvel
Gus submarine boat, yet his conception
became reality in less than a genera
ton. Hence it will not do hastily to
ridicule the scheme of a young Balti-
morean named Alfred Riedel to reach
the north pole under the ice. True,
there seems nothing in his plan, so far
as the newspaper accounts go, mucn
better if as good as that of Frank
Stockton, recently elaborated in one OF
the popular magazines, and certainly
Stockton's story was more interesting
even though lacking a few elements of
fact. But history may repeat itself in
making Stockton the Jules Verne Of
the north pole. Who can deny the pos
sibility?
