1t seems as if no sooner does one particular industry promise to be prof itable to the farmer than he is brought to face disease or bad habits of some kind, especially in stock. Tue wool eating habit appears to be growing in all sheep sections and is especially noticeable in cold weather. It Is also particularly strong with lambs. In such cases it is undoubtedly due to the lamb getting hold of the mothers wool while nursing and thus acquiring the habit of plucking tufts from each others bodies as they grow older. This trouble may be easily remedied by clipping away all wool from the udder of the eve and, if the habit is quite firmly fixed in the lamb, changing the food and give them a mixture Of biear. bonate of soda, salt, powdered char coal and ginger root mixed in the soft food.
 With sheep the habit is hard to break. but a change of food will often accomplish 1t, or if possible give a larger quantity of food of such ration if there is ahy possibility that the api. nal is being underfed. Aside fgom the fact that the habit Is a disagree. able one the tufts of wool are often swallowed and cause constipation and Inflammation. It is 3 habit that should be broken up if such thing Is pos. gibie.

arly style, and others giving their ex-
perience would give it in broken style,
but the one experience would be just
as good as the other. Some of you
have read everything. You are scien-

There are a good many religions, and

out of that place; but God has changed
my heart, and the Lord Jesus Christ

go in there; and, stranger, if this is a

powerful notion; it is a notion that

and it is a notion that has put good
food on our table, and it is a notion
that has filled my mouth with thanks
giving to God. And, stranger, you had
better go along with me; you might
get religion, too; lots of people are
getting religion now"

San Juan, Porto Rico, Aug. 14.-FfVe
hundred bodies lie in imprOvised
morgues at Ponce awaiting Identified
ton. The deaths in the vicinity OF
Ponce will aggregate 1000.
Couriers from the south who have
brought the governor news Of the state
OF affairs say that the city of Ponce is
a scene of awful destruction.
During the inundatiOn that aCCompa-
MED the storm the flood reached it's
highest level at six feet, and now the
bodies of the drowned men, women,
children and animals lie baking and
deCOmpOsing in the mud.
One cannot get away from the hOr-
rible stencil that arises, the cOuriers
report, without getting away from the
city altogether, and the survivors are
in mortal dread of plague breaking
the bodies buried.
The flood Of salt water has polluted
every cistern in the city, and mobs
crazed with thirst besiege Gen. Davis,
commanding the American force in the
island, at every hour Of the day, de-
handing water, food, clothes and shell
ter.
At Humacao, which is forty-seven
miles from San Juan, over 100 of the
600 inhabitants persisted. The news
OF the disaster at Humacao reached
this place by courier who came to ask
ictn II fhn& hnoiI ac-
the terrible loss Of life the city was
practically almost destroyed. All the
churches are reported in ruins.
At Guayama, a village of $500 peo-
pie, forty-nine miles from San Juan,
on the south coast, seven were killed.
a little village fourteen miles from
Guayama, and the wagon road con-
Meeting the two cities is flooded with
water and blocked with the debris of
the destroyed buildings.
The dead in Arroyo, in the southeast
part of the island, and five miles from
Guayama, number sixteen.
The couriers bring word that four
important towns have been destroyed
entirely by the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
a town having 600 inhabitants, four
teen miles from Ponce; GuaniCa, a viii
lage of 1000 inhabitants on the south
ern coast, six miles from Yauco, which
was also destroyed, and Tallaboa,
which lies between Guayanilla and
Ponce.
The Inhabitants of these towns
sought safety in the fields, and are so
terror-stricken that they are unable to
give the couriers any definite informa
ton regarding the dead. 1t is known
that a great many people were killed
and that the suffering is intense.
Couriers have been dispatched to the
scenes of destruction. All the tele-
graph lines are down and the roads are
almost impossible by reason of the
floods.

Photographs of Postmasters.

Chicago Record Postmaster Cor
don has presented to the Chicago post
Office a collection of photographs of
the postmasters of Chicago, accompa-
MED by biographical sketch of each.
The only photograph missing is that
of Jonathan Nash Bailey, Chicago's
first postmaster, who, as far as can be
learned, never sat for a picture. The
pictures are thirteen by eleven inches
in size, and, with the sketches, fill a
frame five and one-half by seventeen
feet. The art work is sepia, and the
frame is made of mahogany from the
old postoffice. The first postmaster Of
Chicago was appointed in 1881. In the
60 years since % men have filled
the place, including the present in
cumbent. A majority Of them have
been military men, and several promi-
nently identified with the newspaper
business.

Ancient American Sleeping Cars.

L. Xavire Eyma, Frenchman, who
came to this country in 1847, wrote an
article in ILLUSTRATION of Paris, pub
lished July 22,1S4S, giving his expert
ences on the railroads of the United
States. He says that at that time
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad had
a length of seventy leagues and that
the cost of the road was 4,116,74
francs, the receipts 3,9SS,456 francs and
expenses 1,964,741 francs. He also
gives considerable space to the in
terror arrangements of the sleeping
cars used at that time and says that,
they are actually houses where moth
ing is lacking for the necessity of life
and are divided into compartments and
sleeping rooms, some for men and
some for women" Each room held six
beds or rather little couches in three
tiers along the sides. He winds up his
account by saying that valuables were
not particularly well taken care of, as
in America there were no such things
as sneak thieves"

Otis"
Manila, Aug. 12.-Gen. MacArthur's
troops remained last night at Calulet
The rebels had evidently fled far be-
yond rifle range, for the American
outposts were not disturbed, and not
shot was fired during the night. At
daybreak a accommodating party, con-
siSting of a battalion of the Seven
teenth infantry, with one field piece,
started up the railroad track toward
Angeles, four miles north. The party
approached within 1900 yards OF the
town, and opened fire with the field
gun. The Americans were received
with badly directed rifle fire, which
the battalion of the Seventeenth re-
turned with a few volleys.
The strength of the insurgents at
Angeles not being known the situation
was reported to Gen. Macarthur, who
did not desire to send re-enforcements,
and directed the accommodating party
to return, unless the rebels abandoned
the town. Soon after the receipt OF
these orders it became evident that the
rebels had set fire to the town and
fled, leaving the place to be occupied
by the Americans.
A battalion of the Twelfth infantry
also was sent on a accommodating eX-
petition toward the west; but up to
noon no firing had been heard in its
direction, and no word had been re-
ceived from it at Gen. Macarthur
headquarters, and it is believed it en-
countered nothing. Everything indi-
Gates that all the rebels have scattered
for miles in very direction around
Calulet.
The insurgents lost heavily in the
| fighting around Calulet. 1t is believed
a hundred were killed and three or foul
hundred wounded. The Iowa regiment
killed thirty in one place, and one
company Of the Seventeenth suddenly
encountered a party of rebels in q
trench and killed twelve. The Amer.
lean loss was five killed and thirty-one
wounded, including three officers.
The attack was a complete surprise
to the insurgents. The Americans
maintained almost perfect line foul
miles long through canebrakes where
they could see nothing ahead. The
mud in places was knee deep in the
rice fields and jungles, and through
the bitches flowed small rivers several
feet deep.
The Filipinos tried to ambush the
Americans several times, the country
in the neighborhood being we'll adapted
to these tactics; but the troops stopped
for nothing, forcing their way through
or over obstacles and firing whenever
they could see the fleeing enemy. The
officers highly commend the recruit:
of the various regiments.
There is reason to believe the report:
recently received that the insurgent:
are short of ammunition, as well-in
formed natives at Calulet say the in
surgents had only forty rounds o.
| ammunition each and that five pound:
extra were issued just before the fight
Since the American occupation of Sar
| Fernando the rebels have torn up three
miles of railroad between there ant
! Clulet nd it is impossible to get thu
armored car more than two miles be
| yond San Fernando.
