What Make. a Perfect Fleece.

Many persons interested in the
natural history of the sheep do not
clearly understand what density OF
The fleece means. Wool, as it exists
IN the fleece, is valued as to quantity
and quality. Quality depends on
length and closeness of the tibres.
The latter is the density of the fleece,
This depends on natural popularity,
and exists in a remarkable degree in
certain breeds and in families OF
these. Pure Spanish Merino wool
has about As, 900 ibres on a square
inch of skin. The finest and densest
wool is on the shoulders. A perfect
fleece will be even ia-2rrSEfusss from
the -
equal length or staple on the back
oven on the sides from the shoulder to
the thigh, and equal in density on
the shoulder and back from loin to
loin. The sheep is the most i'm
pressive of all the domestic animals.
The selection of the father of the
flock is thought so important that ex-
perts are employed tc select ANS.

The officer declared there was no pos

as he was about to give up the search
he saw under a pile of saddles bit OF

More out of curiosity than from any
belief that the print had an owner he
removed the saddles and boxes and
found the girl. She had hidden herself
away in this little corner with the hope
of evading the officers until she was out

permission to accompany her corporal

She wept at being discovered, but was
told she could not accompany the sol

been discovered here. So, after an af-

THE CORSETS TRIUMPH.
Medical Men of Europe Have Pro-
neunced 1t an Essential Item
of Feminine Apparel.

After all the abuse that has been lev
eled at the corset, after all the outpour-
ings and TRADES of the rational dress
advocates and health faddists against
an item of dress without which it is
well-nigh impossible for any woman to
look really ell. honor has at last been
paid to it by a medical man. His plea
for the corset is based both on artistic
and hygienic grounds. Lately there
was on view at Dresden collection of
pictures by Cranach, who lived during
a period when the corset was not in the
fashion. A careful survey of these
paintings revealed to the medical critic
two very important facts, one being
that the women subjects were all suf-
fering from curvature of the spine;
while the second-a natural conse-
quence of the first-was that not soli-
tary female figure in the canvases
seemed to wear clothes properly. I'm
hesitatingly, therefore, the conclusion
was arrived at that corsets are essential
to the female form divine, both from
the doctors and the modiste's point of
view. II is to be hoped, therefore, that
no more nonsense will be talked about
the beauty or the healthfulness of the
corsetless figure. That excessively
tight-lacing is pernicious it needs no
second Daniel come to judgment to tell
US. Common-sense should guide every
woman in this matter; but if some are
foolish, as some ever will be in all mat
ters, it is manifestiy absurd that all
should be condemned. There should be
no fashion" as to waists. for this must
obviously lead to abuse; but, on the
other hand. the use of the corset should
be regarded as one of fashions essen
tial adiuncts, and the wise doctor will
recognize it, too, as an equally essen
tial item of feminine apparel.-Lady's
