The missionary activity in these Island

that time Spain took possession of
them, and a thOup h it had given strict
promise to the American board, which

its work should not be disturbed, the
promise was not kept in letter or spirit.

American farms. The average
farmer of the South IS Drawn as we'll
as his own brain. To engage in sheep
raising he needs but little capital to
make 1t at first an inconsiderable ad-
junct to his ordinary farm industry,
bermuda pasturage, or OF alfalfa fields
where the latter will grow, valuable
sheep farms may be made in many por-
tiOns Of Louisiana and Texas which will
produce far better incomes that the
owners OF these lands have ever made
out OF their money crops"
In the Western part of Texas the
range system is fixed and doubtless
will be permanent. There the sheep
industry has had its vicissitudes, but
now its outlook is more hopeful. and
recently it has brought satisfactory re-
sults to those engaged in it. The large
scale upon which sheep raising has
been there conducted. and upon con-
tiRuous territory in New Mexico, has
doubtless had much to do with the neg
lect OF sheep raising on the farms
OF this state. But in the localities
first referred to sheep will subsist on
% or 30 per cent less food than is re-
Quired in the colder states where they
have been profitably raised for scores
OF years, and they will need but little
OF the winter care that is absolutely
necessary in those states. Surely if
sheep are profitable on the farms there
they would be more profitable on our
cheap lands and in our climate of brief
winters and evergreen pasturage.-

day long up and down the long and

such exercise as following the dam
throughout her days work is exhaust
ing enough to check his growth. For
the same reason he should not follow
her in drives away from the farm.
But the dam should be taken to him
about every three hours through the
day to permit him to suck, for the first
three weeks after his birth.
The colt should be handled from the
day he is foaled, handled in such q
way as to convince him that he will

him to certain fesrlessness but yet
so that he may always know that man

Sheep In The South.

The secretary Of agriculture Of Geor-
gia In q recent report upon the sgri-
cultural resources OF that state says
that 1t has natural pastursge sufficient
to sustain 100000 sheep throughout
the year. The Wool Record makes the
following comment:
THE soil, the water, the almost end
less sunshine from season to season in
these Georgian highlands, and above
all things, the wonderful Bermuda
grass, which supplies an unfailing food
supply from January ! to December 81
for wool-bearing animals, should make
this region the home of perhaps the
largest sheep growing interests on
the whole American continent. All
invite the industry of wool culture, and
Q curtailment of the cotton crop, such
as Is now favored by the capitalized
supporters of that staple, should, with
in very short period, result in the
stocking of these Georgian ranges
with innunerable fiocks of sheep"
MANY portions of Eastern Texas and
Western Louisiana offer advantages to
the sheep owner which have been
strangely ignored. Many of the fields
In each of these states from which,
after much labor and expense, from
one fourth to one-half bale of cheap
cotton is picked by the farmer, his
wife and children assisting him, often
at the expense OF the health of the
former and the education OF the lat
ter, could be made green with Ber-
muda grass on which mutton and wool
could be proftably produced almost
without labor or cost.
Surely the experience of year after
year, with no surplus remaining in the
hands OF the cotton producer after his
crop is sold and debts paid, ought to
suggest some effort to change routine
demonstrated to be hopeless. Without
the production of some class of live
stock there are few localities in which
agricultural effort Is profitable, and
generally where the products of the
soil yield good profits either it is in
those cases where transportation facili-
ties or the vicinity to city markets
gives opportunity for ready sale of
vegetables or fruit, or where wealth
controls vast areas, with armies OF Ia

New Way to Preserve Euas.

A new and novel method of preserv-
ing eggs has been discovered and ia
being practiced by St. Louis firm.
Inc eggs are first dried and then re-
duced to powdered condition. This
powder is then put up in sealed cans,
and Is thereafter ready to ship to any
part OF the universe, being in condi-
ton impervious to either heat or cold.
A St. Louis exchange says that hun
dreds OF cases of eggs have been treat.
ed In this manner during the past
month or so. The profits to those hand
ling this article are said to be enor-
nous. With practicable methods for
handling the product of the psultry
yard, enabling it to be kept for defin-
lite periods in any climate, there is no.
danger OF over-prOduction in either
eggs or poultry, and when proper at.
tention Is given to it money can h
made by every person engaged in thi
ndustry.-Exchange.

now located upon it. In Louisville the
army has opened a shelter for 100 men,

A Delicate Mission.

1t is recognized that the mission of
the Paulist priest accompanying Gen.
lists are an American order of Roman
Catholic priests, many of them converts
from Professionalism. They are very
proRressive-the Glow" church ele-
ment-and as such they are met by
some criticism. The reception of what
may be called modern liberal Catholi-
cism by a sixteenth century Catholi-
cism that has been basely used by
Spain for her own purposes will, it is
recognized, .be study for those in
terested in religious ethical progress.

ause of the losses incident to the hard

cause of the losses incident to the hard
ships as we'll as the dangers of war.
The additional demand for the volun-
teer cavalry regiments is, of course,
| only temporary demand and will end
| with the war. But at the end of tn
war Porto Rico, Cuba and the Philip
pines will be occupied by our troops
and a formidable military establish
ment must be maintained SO long as 10
become practically permanent.
Such an establishment to be most ef-
fective must consist largely Of mount
ed men. It would, perhaps, not be an
exaggerated estimate to put the per-
manent cavalry requirements of the
army at four or five times that which
existed before the war with Spain be-
gan. To this must be added the stead
lily increasing purchases in this coun-
try for the armies of Europe. And as
attention is given to raising horses
here specially for military demands
the number of sales for export will
naturally increase. 1t seems clear
that the men who have mares fit for a
requirements would find profit in
breeding and rearing specially to the
cavalry type
The esse entails OF the type are reason
able compactn ess of build, muscle, and
lung power, With nerve and action, to
which style and beauty will add value.
The Breeder and Sportsman, perhaps,
puts it better in saying the horses
must have deep, well-ribbed barrels,
strong loins, powerful quarters and
stout, sound limbs. Leggy animals
with sharp withers, small waists and
long backs will not make good cam
paigners." The same paper advises
good dash of thoroughbred blood. in
which the Journal agrees. The Jour-
nal also believes that there can be no
foundation stock from which better re-
suits can be obtained than that of Judi
ciously selected range mares. In them
is the perfection of endurance for &C
tual campaign work, with fire and
nerve. Many such mares have already
an infusion of the thoroughbred, per-
haps enough of it, but good suitable
standardized or saddle, sires not too
fine, may be mated with them.

CAMERA AT WEDDINGS.

In the east the camera at wedding
is still something of a novelty, to be
looked upon with surprise, if not with
open disapproval, says the New York
Sun. But out west nobody dreams of
getting married without a camera; it
is regarded as indispensable, as much
a part of the performance as the
clergyman, certainly as much so as
the bridegroom. In these days Of
rampant amateur photography it is
hardly necessary to call in a profess
SIGNAL operator upon these occasions.
Some half-doZen members Of every
bridal party are sure to be camera
fiends of the first water, and it re-
quires much diplomacy to decide
which one shall be asked to bring
along his or her camera. In nearly
every instance some ones feelings are
sure to be hurt. Sometimes two
cameras are present at a marriage
ceremony, but more than this is not
considered good form in the west. In
every house the photographs of the
bridal party form a prominent decora-
tive feature, as is but natural when
they have been obtained under such
suspicious conditions.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.

1t is the fashion nowadays to pre-
tend, at any rate, that the trinkets we
buy bear some occult significance.
This accounts for the popularity OF
the rings and medallions set with the
birthday stones OF those who wear
thcm-stones that are supposed to
avert ill-luck and secure special
blessings of various kinds. Poland
is the country that originated this
idea, it is said.
An odd but very quaint and pretty
notion has been revived in Paris, one
which dates back many years. 1t is
the miniature of an eye painted on
ivory, and is worn as a locket The
eye is. Of course, that of the person
who loves the wearer.
Murmurs Of discomfort are heard

PHILIPPINE ISLAND EAGLES.

Country Life Illustrate: The in
surrection in the Philippine islands,
now followed by the attack on Manila
by the United States fleet, has brought
to a close a very interesting set Of
expeditions to explore the animal
life of this very little known archi-
pelago. These were conducted by Mr..
John Whitehead, and among the re-
suits Of his labors was the discovery
in 1896, of the largest eagle in the
world. 1t was shot on the Island of
Samar one of the Philippines, where
it lives above the level of the enor-
nous forest consisting of trees eighty
yards high, and feeds on monkeys. 1t
is larger than the golden eagle, more
powerful than the harpy eagle, and
a beak higher, deeper and more for
midable than that of any other rap
torial bird. 1t weighs from sixteen to
twenty pounds, while the average
weight of a golden eagle is only
twelve pounds. The only full-"rown
specimen Of the great forest eagle OBJ
tanned there is in the Museum of nat
ural history at South Kensington.
1t was disabled by a single buckshot
in the neck, and ultimately taken
down from the tree to which it chung
by a native hunter. It's claws are as
formidable as it's beak, and resemble
those of the harry eagle.

ARTIFICIAL LIMBS.

If there was any one business that
the probability of war enlivened and
encouraged it was the trade in arti-
fetal limbs. Whatever fond hopes of
financial gain were raised by the for
NAL opening of hostilities we're
smashed long ago. Surgical skill has
so Increased since the civil war and
the caliber and speed of the bullets
have been so changed that the number
of limbs amputated has been very
small indeed. It has been declared
that out of nearly 100 wounded men
who were treated in Bellevue hospi-
tai there were only two amputations,
and that out of more than 100 wound
ed men at Governors island not one
lost limb. A manufacturer of arti-
fetal limbs said in point not long ago
that the number Of limbs made to
supply needs caused by the existing
war would not make the slightest
impression on the trade, which is kept
comfortably busy supplying the de-
ficiencies Of those who have been hurt
in railroad and other accidents.-New
