SHEEP FOUND IN ALASKA.
Flesh Said to Be the Most Delicious
of All Wild Game and Is
Much Sought.

This rare wild white sheep is found
nowhere in the world but Alaska, and
few specimens for mounting whole have
ever been obtained, says a writer in
Outing. This species, named owls DALI
by Prof. Dali, differs from it's cousin,
the Rocky mountain big, horn (ovis
montana) in color, owls montana being
dull brown in midsummer, changing
to a grayish drab in winter, with light
ashy-colored patch over the rump all
the year, while the owls DALI is snow
white at all seasons; in fact, there is not
a colored hair on any part of its body.
He is not quite so stockily built as the
"big horn,' yet more trim and shapely.
Two of my specimens stood AZ inches
at the shoulder. His limbs are not
quite Sc heavy, and his horns will not
average as large at the base, although
quite as long. The horns of my largest
specimen of 1897 measured 41A inches
in length and 1925 inches in circumfer-
ence at the base.
The flesh is the most delicious of all
wild game. In the summer this sheep
lives chiefly on the rich, succulent
growth of the asplenium ST ptentrion-
ale, which grows in the crevices of the
rock on the sunny slopes of this ragged
range. This beautiful animal must en-
dure great hardships to survivethe win
tiers of this icy north.

HONOR DUE TO CANADA,
The First Vessel to Cross the Ocean
by Steam Power" Sailed
from Quebec.

An interesting but little known bit of
history in connection with early, steam
navigation on the ocean was brought
to public attention in the recent address
of the venerable Kivas Tully on his
election to the presidency Of the re-
gently organized Engineers club of To-
ronto, says the Engineering News.
This was to the effect that to the
province of Quebec belongs the credit
of having built the first steamship that
crossed the Atlantic from either side.
The steamship was called the Royal
William, commanded by Capt McDou-
gall, and sailed from Quebec on August
S, 1888, arriving at Gravesend on Sep
TENDER II, having steamed the whole
distance.
This seems at first sight to contradict
the well-known claims to priority made
for the Savannah as the first steamship
to cross the Atlantic. The Savannah,
however, on her memorable voyage
from Savannah, to Liverpool MAY. rs,
1919, to June 20, 1919 used her engines
during IS days and progressed under
sail the remainder of the time, the pad
dlewheels being hoisted on board when
not in use.
The Royal William, therefore, ap-
pears to have been the first vessel to
make the vayoge using steam for the
whole distance.

PLEA FOR THE GOLDFISH.
A Chief Cook Says This Fish Is Not
Appreciated at Its Real
Worth.

IF Goldfish cost a dollar a pound"
said the chef, "it would be more univer-
sally beloved. tell you, it is the best
dinner fish known. I have tried the
whitefsh all over the world, but the
Goldfish is king Of them all and is not
appreciated at his real worth. Cook
him in any way you like and he is de-
licious. Even the dried Goldfish, picked
up and served in cream for breakfast,
is fine dish. Put him in bag, sew him
up tightly and let him boil, or bake
him carefully, we'll stuffed, and he is
delicious.
"Let me tell you that when you make
fish with potato. Put as little potato
or other substance in the cakes a S posi-
BILE, and, if you want them as fine as
they can be made, wrap them in a blan-
ket of eggs and do not be sparing of
the egg. You can make a tasty dish of
Goldfish cakes if you will follow my adj
vice. Fish cakes are considered a very
democratic dish, of course, but my
patron, who pays me a large salary, is
as democratic as he used to be in his
younger days. When he sends down to
me an order for fish cakes for the next
mornings breakfast be says ne wants
Meschutt's fish cakes, with egg. That
is the order, and he is thinking of his
younger life, when, as he once told me,
in a basement on Broadway he used to
get the finest butter cakes and fish
cakes he ever tasted, ''excepting yours,
Chef he adds always. But know
that dimes in those days were as thou
sanddollar bills to him now, and his
appetite was keener and more appre-
c;atiye."

THIS CAT REFUSED TO DIE.
How an Intelligent Pussy Put a Stop
E* tota University Professors =
+ ~ Demonstrate ton.

Students Of one of the big universe
ties in this city have a cat that has
utterly refused to become martyr to
science. Its history is another instance
of the refining and elevating influence
of science, says the Chicago Times-Her-
aid.
Prof. Blank asked J. P. Morgan, the
janitor to get a cat for him, as he
wished to illustrate his lecture on RES
piration" by experiments upon the ami
NAL. Mr.. Morgan succeeded in getting
one with the aid of some small boys.
When his students had assembled the
professor put the cat into the glass
receiver of the air pump and bega1f to
pump out the air. Before the piston had
time to move more than once or twice
the cat began to feel very uncomfort-
able, and, discovering the aperture
through which the air was escaping, put
her foot on it and thus corked the pipe
and stopped the removal of the air.
Several subsequent attempts to car
ry on the experiments were alike inef-
fectual, for as soon as the glass cover
was put over her and she felt the re-
moval of the air the cat would put her
feet over the pipe and keep them
pressed there.
The students, struck by the remark
able intelligence shown by the cat,
asked the professor to ibefate the ami
NAL and loudly cheered her self-posses-
sion when the cat, after coolly clean
ing herself and smoothing her rufHed
fur, jumped down and rubbed against
the legs of the students sitting on the
front bench. She is now permanently
annexed to the college and an object of
interest to all visitors.

WOMEN's CLUBS ODD NAMES.
A Number of Titles Which Are
Rather Enigmat3c and Diff
cult to Pronounce.

The woman's club movement has as
sumed such an extent that it has attract
ed the attention of the United States
department of labor, which has recent
~ issued an elaborate report on the at
titude of women's clubs toward social
economics, says the Pittsburgh Chron-
icle-Telegraph. Accompanying the ar
ticle are some statistics which indicate
that there are few settlements of any
size in our glorious country without
Woman's club. Whe name, location and
purpose of each of 1888 women's clubs
are given in detail, and it appears that
this by no means exhausts the list. An
examination of the list shows that next
to the local title of woman club Shake
speare's name is favorite one.
There are a number of titles which
are rather enigmatic. What, for in
stance, is the meaning of "the Leshche,"
the name of a club at Dalton, Ga?
Then there is the nike of Chicago,
the "Theristriap' of Marion, Ia; the
"Anarkrisians" of Sioux City, the cam
moncongin' of Cumberland Mills, Me-;
the "Methebesic" of Rockland, Me-; the
''Heptorean" of Somerville, Mass; the
"Alsbicc" of Grand Rapids, the 'Chiro-
pean' and the "Photerone," both of
Brooklyn, and the "Ardirhebriah" of
Providence. Such names as 'Tekcos-
now" and 'So-go-ye-wat-ha" are per-
haps of Indian origin. There is frank
ness in the title of "Old Maids Social
club" of Woonsocket, which inspires re-
spect. 1t is, however, doubtful whether
anything descriptive is meant by the
title of the ''Nashaway" club of Nashua,
n. II. There is an Anthony club, but no
