This Young Woman Raises sheep.

A woman in Virginia is making money raising
seep. She is a schoolteacher, and she has a
home. with some acres of land which she had
not time to cultivate, but which she wished to
turn to account. She spent SIS. paying 50 a
head for ewes and then turned her flock into
her pasture land She raised what she could
care for on her land, selling the rest soon as
they were of marketable age. She gave only
about one hour a day to them, and paid boy
and the fodder cut up. She has been in the bust
about five years. The first year she came
out $40 ahead of her experiment. At the end of
the fourth year she had a flock of sixty ewes
all she gould keep with her pasturage, and in
wool and mutton she found she had a clear
yearly income of $3.50.

Uymen.s Tricks with Romance.

What becomes of the lover after he marres and
ceases to be lover is "a matter of no sort of
consequence. In fact, when he marries the world
regards him as entirely removed from the realm
of romance and brought back from his place in
the skies to the plane fother folks; the common
level of everyday life, the level on which he
works, wears out his clothes, gets hungry and
eats, becomes sleepy after his dinner. exactly as
do ordinary mortals For him the blaze of love
is gone, but glowing embers are a fair substitute
for blaze and it is we'll they are, for although
instances have been recorded of men being great
ly attached to fheir. wives, in the majority of
cases there is no better specific for the distemper
of love than the formula prescribed by a clergy
man In full canonitsls. with stage setting Of
bridesmaids and orafge blossoms.
