From the Builder: We recommend

IN this country to look at the account
given of the decorative work carried
out at the new Paris Opera Comique.
The exterior sculpture is by the great
est French sculptors of the day; for
the decorative paintings in the au-
ditOrium, the staircases and the foy-
ers, galaxy of the most gifted
French painters has been employed;
and all this paid for by the govern
ment, for the public good and for the
encouragement of national art. When
shall we see such a thing in England?

decorated with sculpture by Mr.. Gill
bert and Mr.. Onslow Ford. and the

ter. Instead of that, we have theaters

Dogs and the Price of Mutton.

There would seem. at first sight. to
be no connection between dogs and the
price OF mutton, but that there is such
connection is we'll known TO every
man that keeps sheep. In the Western
states particularly sheep raising has
been abandoned in many localities for
the reason that so many big dogs were
kept that sheep raising was rendered
Improbable. Were it not for dogs
sheep raising would be common in
even our most thickly populated farm
sections. Every farmer and even every
agricultural specialist would have a
little bunch Of sheep This would
greatly increase the supply of our
sheep and would correspondence re-
duce the cost of mutton. The in
creased price Of mutton is the tax the
people pay for keeping dogs. Many
dog owners objecs to a dog tax. not
realizing that the want OF a dog tax is
a still heavier tax on their own purses
in their mutton bill for the year. Dog
taxes should be made so heavy that
people could afford to keep only val
liable dogs.

Loss OF sheep in Australia

A letter TO Bradstreet's from Mel
bourne, Australia says:
The terrible drought that during the
last five years has devastated the CEN
trail and western portions OF South
Wales is not yet broken. The losses
are appalling, the number of sheep II
| the colony having fallen within the
last seven years from about g. 900 600
to about 100000, the natural in
crease also being lost. 1t Will require
several good years in succession to re-
| pair the damage. The districts prir-
| clpaIly affected have almost literally
| become a desert, large masses of sand
snlftlng from point TO point, according
| to the prevailing wind. Boundaries
are in many cases Obliterated: dams
and tanks, constructed at great ex-
pense, are choked up and frequently
| buried. The sheep and the rabbits, il
their last extremity, have eaten the
roots of nearly all the natural vegeta-
ton. Doubtless the climatic influences
will once more become favorable and
for a few years resettlement will pro-
ceed. But the truth is forcing itself
upon the judgment of capitalists in
terested in squatting, that the climate
OF the central districts of Australia is
too precarious to justify outlay, and a
great extent of country is likely to be
abandoned. But the wide coastal dis
tricts of the continent of Australia
will, as they are improved more than
make amends for the recession from
an arid country that affords no en-
enlargement fer permanent settlement
Notwithstanding the losses of sheep in |
New South Wales, the total of the |
Australasian flocks shows a slight in |
crease as compared with ten years ago. |
At the close of 1888 the total was esti- |
mated at abous $1,000 900, and three |
years later at about 124, $685. 900. 1t is
now about 100000.
Owing to the effects OF the drought |
the aggregate annual wool clip has
fallen off. For the year 1894-95 (from
July l to June 30) the total quantity
shipped from the Australasian colonies
was 1,951,SO0 bales. Last season
Q897-90 the total was 1,71S.30 bales,
and il is estimated that for the current |
season, to close June 80 next, the total
will be 100000 bales A falling off OF
four years in succession. especially in
pure merino sheep, has, however,
relieved the consuming mar
kets, which were somewhat congested
with stock, and prices have been stead
lily rising of late. 1t is probable. there
fore, that the net return to the Aus
sheep farmers this season
will be 92,000,000 TO G3,0O0.00O greater
than last season, so that increased
value will compensate for diminished
