SHEEP WITHOUT WOOL.

The principal kind of meat consumed by
the people of Arabia, both native and for
eign, Is the mutton of the Somali or
black-head sheep and no matter by
whom eaten, all pronounce it the best
mutton ever tasted. This sheep, as its
name indicates, is from the Somali coun-
try, on the African coast These sheep
have no wool, but short. fine hair, similar
to that Of a dog. The most peculiar
thing about them Is that they have
large lump of pure fat growing right at
the root of the tail, and this fat varies in
size and weight according to the condition
of the sheep A Inedium-sized lump of
this fat weighs about four pounds Such
a sheep which weighs from IS to 10
pounds is sold at from four to five ru-
PEGS (s5 cents to $1.05). The skins, when
sun-dried, are exported and large guam
titles of them go every year to the New
York market, where they are known as
mocha skins, but, like the mocha oof-
fee of commerce, this is merely term
and nothing else. In 1897 these skins were
imported into New York to the value of
