New Zealand Mutton,

The story of New Zealand sheep
designed for the London;market may be
very briefly told. 1t is taken from the
run to the slaughter house. killed,
dressed and transferred to the cooling
room. The skin and superfiuous fat are
retained; after ten hours cooling the
carcass goes into the refrigerating room
for 36 hours. Thence it goes to the stor-
ing room, and when 1t has been envel-
oped IN its cotton "shlrt" and labeled
is ready for its journey over sea. The
steamers which bring the meat to US
through the tropics have, of course, to
be fitted with refrigerating appliances,
and our sheep takes its place among
thousands of others, some OF the boats
being fitted to carry as many as 70, 600
carcasses at one time.
There are So vessels engaged in the
trade, capable of transporting &. 700, 600
sheep per annum. Arrived IN the
Thames, the barges come alongside the
vessel, and the sheep is transferred to a
cold storage station. Here it may lie for
weeks or for months if necessary, so
that-an important commercial advan-
tage-there is no necessity for immedi-
alto sale on d depressed market.-Good

fact that things i'll general are not auto.

will give sufficient thought; but. as to
the run of things that come up, acquire
the habit OF disposing Of them as they
come along, you will find it great

Drinking In Medieval Universities.


The relation which the universities
sustained with reference to the munich
palities in which they were situated
forms a large chapter in their early his.
tory. The university was state within
state. Every person connected with it
even remotely, down to the servants in
the families of the professors and those
who waited upon the students, were
amenable only to the academic court.
The student was the citizen of a nation
Of scholars, whose flag overshadowed
him wherever i'll the kingdom he might
be.
Members of the student world were
exempt from military service, and in
many cases from all municipal tax.
They might receive their books and fur
niture, wine and beer, free of duty.
The students of Leyden awaited them
selves of this privilege to so great de-
gree and imported in such immense
quantities by private arrangements with
the publicans that law was necessary
prescribing how much student might
legally receive without payment of ex-
else. The wise legislators, animated
with generous sense of the privileges
of university, after due deliberation
fixed the proper drinking capacity of a
student at so gallons OF wine and 10
half casks of beer, which he could re-
ceive free of all tax-Professor w. r.

An Unworthy Trick.

In a recent Pail Mall Gazette we find
a good story Of landed proprietor in
Switzerland, who was very much inter
ested III railway matter upon which
the district where he was landed had to
vote. He wanted it to vote affirmative
ly, and so he let it be generally under
stood that every voter would become the
recipient of liberal hamper Of wine,
provided there was no negative vote to
be found in the ballot box The number
of voters, including the great man him.
self, totaled 10S, and ON the day when
the voting was to be taken every one of
them went to the poll. Not only that,
but every one of that crowd west to the
poll with the conviction that that ham,
per of wine was as good as in his cellar
Their disgust, therefore, may be readily
imagined when the ballot box was found
to contain LOT affirmative papers and
one negative. To the imagination also
must be left the language in which
their feelings found expression when
they arrived at the certainty that the
landed proprietor had landed them by
giving that vote himself.
