effect at the top and heightened by circular
lower part or founce. The closing is made
at the left side of the front, or, if desired, it
may be made at the back in fall style. Rows
of machine stitching give neat tailor finish.
The material selected for making it is
middle-weight cloth in a new shade known
as French-blue. Both these designs were

A recent traveller, in giving descrip-
ton of his climbing Mount Popocate-
petl, in Mexico, and visiting its crater,
says that they were able to return from
the top of the mountain to the snow
line in fifteen minutes, covering a dis
lance which had required them six
hours to ascend. One sees things like
that often in common life. \ man
struggles for years to build up a good
reputation for honesty and integrity
among his fellow-men, and then in an
unguarded hour he takes a fatal to-
boggan-slide that hurls him in a single
act below where he began to climb
twenty or thirty years ago. 1t is those
who persevere unto the end who win
the crown, and no one can afford to
grow careless or to cease to be watchful
against temptation

Under the present conditions to
make sheep profitable, they should be
kept both for wool and mutton. In
doing this, care should be taken not
to Gull out the best and sell to the
butcher, and this should apply to the
lambs as well as to the mature sheep.
Under average conditions the sheep
that will make the best mutton will
also grow the best fleece of wool If
the quality of the flock is to be i'm
proved. not only should a well bred
ram be used, but make a careful Sc
lection of ewes, and one of the best
ways of securing choice ewes, is to
pick out a sufficient number of the
very best eve lambs and keep them to
take the place of older and less desira-
BILE ones in the fall.

Very few people realize at what ire
mendous heights birds sometimes
traverse the air OF course. most of
the common British songSters, the
thruShes and warblerS do not as rule
rise higher than the tree-tups except
when migrating; then they fly ut an
average height of POO feet or 800 feet
higher or lower. according to the pre-
vailing currents Herons and wild
ducks. geese and swans when travel
ling long distances fly at greater
heights, often as much as 1000 feet.
Eut it is the hawk, and more par
ticularly the vulture tribe that con
stantly wing the air at far greater
limits than these. The common buzz

mile above the earth, and the great

AUSTRALIAN LUNG-FlSH.
It Cannot Live on Land, But Breathe.

Through Lungs.
There has recently arrived at the
Geological Gardens in London some
living specimens of the Australian
lung-fish, species first discovered il
1869 by Forster and described by
Krefft.
The lung-ish has teeth similar t6
certain fossil teeth of the triassic strata
in Europe.
The body is long and much flattened
from side to side, and covered with
large cycloid scales; the limbs are
shaped like the blade of paddle or
trowel, and broadly fringed. The flesh
red, like that of a salmon-is excel
lent eating, and large specimens are
said to attain length of six feet anc
a weight Of about twenty pounds. the
apparent disparity between size and
weight being probably accounted for by
the tapering off of the body behind the
posterior limbs. Their home is in the
Burnett and Mary Rivers; and as they
were in danger of becoming extinct the
Royal Society of Queensland recently
resolved to establish them in new hab-
itats.
The lung-fsh in its natural state
eats large quantities of vegetable mat
ter, but this does not appear to be nee
essary to it.
The lung-fish cannot live on the land,
like true animal, but its lungs are of
higher type than the gills of ordinary
fish, and it's heart has three divisions
instead of two

In his Report of Industrial and La
Dor Statistics, issued a short time
since, commissioner Matthews makes
the following interesting statement
concerning the horse stock of Maine;
During the ten years from 1879 to
1889 the number of horses in Maine
increased IA. 1876, and colts during that
time increased 1865. From 1889 to
1893. the year that colts reached the
highest number. horses increased 49,
no, while colts had increased 1897.
For the next three years, or until 1896
horses increased ut the average rate
of nearly 1000 per year. and since
that date only a the rate Of 100 per
year. while colts since 1893 have rap
idly decreased from 29,716 to 9435, a
diminution of 20,2S1 In five years. A
like decrease for two years more
would cut off entirely our home
supply of horses.
Have our people decided that it is
cheaper to import horses than to raise
them? 1t would seem that the supply
of horses must be kept mp at some
rate for there Is no disposition to sub
stitute oxen in their stead. but rather
the reverse. American Horse Breeder
