For Woolgrowers.

Many persons interested in the nat
ural history of the sheep do not clear
ly understand what density Of the
fleece meens. Nor do they fully real
ize the importance of studying it with
the view to improve their sheep by
breeding. Wool, as it exists in the
fleece, is valued as to quantity and
quality. OF course quantity depends
on length and closeness of the fbers
together. The latter is the density Of
the fleece. And this is very remark
able quality. 1t depends, says Ameri-
can Sheep Breeder, on natural pecul-
iarity and remarkably degree in GER
tain breeds and in families of these
Pure Spanish Merino wool has about
10000 fibers on a square inch of skin
on the average of the whole fleece. But
the finest wool is found on distinct
parts of the animal. The finest and
densest wool is on the shoulders, and
here the purchaser of a ram for mating

the wool on the ribs, thigh and rump
is found nearly equal to the shoulder
wool in fineRess, it makes the fleece
rank as even In this respect. And so
on as to length and density. A per
feet fleece will be even in fiueness from
the shoulder to the thigh, or nearly
equal length OF staple on the back over
on the sides from the shoulder to the
thigh, and equal in density on the
shoulder and back from loin to loin.
Other qualities of the fleece as to yolk
and elasticity, or stretch, should be
examined in the selection of ram of
any breed, for the improvement in a
flock is to come from the rams, and
thus it is the better way to secure fresh
rams than to keep the same in flock
any longer than the rams in use may
90 around from one part of the flock
to another. But the caution never to
in breed--that is to breed ram to its
own progeny-is to be observed as the
most important of the good manage
ment of a flock. For sheep is the
most impressive OF all the domestic
animals, and for good or i'll the services
Of the ram are to be thought of first
and last and all the time The selec-
ton Of the father Of the flock is thought
so important in every country in which
the quality Of wool grown is duly es-
timated, that experts are generally
employed to select rams for those
breeders who have not had the advnn.

Voting by Machinery.

The state Of Nebraska has ordered
80, 900 voting machines at $500 each a
total of 81 600 900, says the ST. Louis
Globe Democrat. This machine is
purely mechanical in construction.
The regulations are complete in every
detail. Split tickets can be voted as
rapidly as straight. The booth stands
six and one half feet in height and is
about four feet square, giving ample
room for voting. Though made of
steel, it can be carried about very
easily. The voter upon entering the
booth faces a square steel box about
three teet square, and three inches
thick. On the face OF this square is a
long narrow row of glazed openings
in which appear the different tickets
to be voted. Each party ticket Is
printed on slip Of its own. The can
didates for each office ale in align
ment and the whole arrangement is
similar to the regular Australian bal
lot. But at the point where the voter
usually puts a cross is a nickel plated
button and at the top of each party
ticket is lever. As the first vote is
cast bell is rung This informs the
Judges that voter has started to cast
his ballot. A straight party man has
only to pull lever and his vote is cast.
\ man who wants to scratch registers
his vote by the buttons. When the
straight ticket is voted, by pulling
down the lever the mechanical counters
all along the line register one vote for
each candidate. On the outside Of the
booth the register is locked by three
different locks one Of which is given

Mavis did not answer him.
Her heart was too full her love too perfect
to need words; and, indeed, at the present
moment, it seemed so with Adrian Carolin
also.
He clasped her close to his breast, and
sncoothed the bright hair which was one of
Mavis' chief charms.
And SO they sat in a perfect silence, and
around them the birds warbled their happy
song, and the river at their feet laughed, and
chatted, and Knocked. as it went its way over
rocks and boulders, to the great silent
pool which the countrywide around believed
to be bottomless.
They were superstitious about this pool,
these simple folk.
1t was said to be haunted by the spirit of
young girl, the bride of one of the great
lords Of Carolin, dead and gone this century
and more, and few were bold enough to pass
the spot after dusk
The legend went that Adrian-a family
name-Lord Carolin haL welded the fair
daughter Of a neighboring squire, belevetng
her to be richly endowed, and on finding out
that, instead of being the heiress he had
imagined she quite the reverse-being
indeed, through her fathers extravaganza
almost penniless-he had put her from him
with curse, which turned his unhappy
brides brain that she sought refuge in the
pool that tells no tales, and sank beneath its
dark waters, to rise no more.
Her. body was never recovered, although
her spirit was said to haunt the spot

CHAPTER II.

The Honorable Adrian Carolin was as has
already been limited, the only son, and, there
fore, the heir Of Lord Carolin, the great man
of the county.
owned the whole of the picturesque stray
Cling village which took its name from him
but he was also the poSsessor of a fine man
sion in Park Lane, a shooting-box in the
Highlands, and various other estates more or
less important.
But Lord Carolin was not rich-at least
not for q. peer of the realm.
The Carolins had, from time immemorial
been wild, improvident, and, in several cases.
wicked.
That they were utterly INSCRIPTIONS where
their own desires were concerned was a fact
well known; but, for all that, the old lord
and his handsome son were well beloved in
the neighborhood, where for centuries the
lords Of CaroIin had reigned as little kings.
Although reckless to a degree, and mort
gagged UP to the HIT, there was an almost
royal generosity about father and son alike,
that went far towards covering those sins,
which, indeed, to their dependents and poorer
neighbours seemed far away, and by them
were but little understood.
What did they know of London and it's
ways in this quiet, peaceful village on the
Cornish coast? For, the broad acres of
Carolin Towers sloped towards the great
ocean, which stretched full three thousand
miles away, to lap the orange and cypress
laden shores of Florida.
The wife Of the present lord, and the
mother of Adrian, had died soon after giving
birth to the heir.
Some said that her husbands London
ways had had something to do with the
early death of the gentle lady who had borne
the great name for SO brief a period
She too, was of noble birth.
On Lord Carolin's side it had most GER
tainly been a love match, for the Lady Alice
Mountjoy had had nothing save her beauty
md goodness to beStOW
On her side-well, she had always been a
little afraid of her lord, who was also her
master.
Be this as it may, she died young, and thus
Adrian had never known a mothers care and
influence, and so ne, too, grew up a true
Carolr-the very apple of his fathers eye,
handsome, somewhat overbearing, as became
his race.
At the time this story opens it would have
been hard to find a face more beautiful, a
form more striking, than Mavis Dunscombes
lover possessed.
| He had now reached his thirtieth year, and
| although, as was but natural, his name had

The Frostburg correspondent of the
Cumberland Signal says:
Foundation for the new Normal school is
nearing completion and the brick work will
soon be in progress.
Wonder if the State will open its heart and
give the colored man the same kind of a
school, or will they be satisfied to allow
colored and white to attend this school?
The JOURNAL is unable to answer.
But if the State should be unwill-
ing to accommodate "the colored man
at Frostburg, there are (or were) eight
scholarships at the Allegany County
Academy that, so far as the JOURNAL
can learn, have not been open-hearted-
ly disposed of outside of Cumberland.
If the State, however, is not able to
permit these prizes to get into plebiau
hands, the more liberal county has a
high school in Cumberland quite as
exclusive.
Try that.
If anything will fetch out the true
inwardness of these institutions one

tablished and conducted at public eX-

A school for nervous children, the
first of its kind, will be established in
Chicago. This is the only sort of
school. by the way, that is exclusively
needed in Cumberland. There is lot

corning this lecture st. Johns Record

The press notices where he has lectured are
