remarks Rural New Yorker. 'but we
must say that tho Angora goat craze
now sweeping over the country needs a
halter Hundreds, yes, thousands, of
people seem TO believe that the Angora
goat win turn some brush ridden old
pasture into gold. The Angora does
well on the western slopes of the Rock
les and in the great southwest. Deal
ers tell us that the trade in mohair Is
limited and will not stand any great
increase. The price of good Angoras
has been doomed far out of proportion
to their practical value. On most east
ern farms well bred sheep will prove
Just as profitable as these goats"

Owing to the national reluctance to

Carrying Wool.
Holders OF wool In England seem to
be trying the starvation plan to bring
manufacturers TO pay higher prices,
says The National Etockman. At the
last three London auctions large guam
tities OF wool were carried over In the
hope OF meeting with q better market.
When this failed TO materialize at the
latest sale. 1t was resolved 10 again
carry over o large quantity. 10 limit
the offerings at the next sale and to
hold only ono more sale this year ip-
stead OF two. Holders evidently fig
ure thHt manufacturers must have
wool SOME time. and by this plan
they VIII limit the quantity available
to such IA extent as TO bring about
better prices II is rather doubtful
whether such scheme VIII succeed.
The Weoi carried over has got to be
sold some time II is piling up against
future markets, ard those who IRE
carrying 1t over may be piling up trou~
BILE for themselves. Manufacturers
are not likely tosbuy more In the Inter
val than will supply their current
needs They may be forced to lay In
considerable supplies BY q good de-
mand for woolens. but II Is yerg doubt
fui II they anticipate their needs very
much with the knowledge that big
supplies are '.iust beyond"

Early rising has been iucuicaicd as a
wholesome practice from time imme-

to get to bed also in good time is unub-
jectionable in every way; but, on the
other hand. if the employment is Of
such nature as to prevent the occupa-
tion of the bed at proportionately ear
ly hour it is absurd to recommend the
one without the other. Some persons
require six or seven, some eight or nine
hours in the "a, but If we all made a
practice of getting up as soon as we
wake we should find that the sleep
would be sounder and more wholesome
and that it would be seldom extended
beyond seven or eight hours.
The plan of rising a long time before
breakfast and taking a walk on an
empty stomach is undoubtedly bad
one, and though it may be adopted by
some people without injury, yet if at
tempted by those of delicate constitu-
tion it will do Il vast deal of harm.
Half an hour or an hour before that
meal may well be passed in a short
walk, but beyond that time the stom-
ach becomes weakened in tone, and
the meal when taken is followed by a
dull and heavy sensation of fatigue
and listiessness instead of the sprightly
readiness for the days occupation,
which it ought to be the ambition of
every one to possess. Health.

BETTER Than Rubber Heels.

Every one knows that when soldiers
cross a bridge they are ordered to
break step so that the regular vibration
of so many feet shall not endanger the
safety of the structure. An army sur
gcOn of France discovered that the
brain jar due to long marches in regu-
lar step is as trying on the human
frame as such marching is on the struc-
ture of bridge. To the regular repeti-
ton of a shock to bones and brain
caused by this uniform ard long CON
tinued marching are due the peculiar
aches, pains and illness Of the troops.
On a one day march, he says. this
shock is repeated 10000 times. and of
ten the strongest men who can walk
the same distance without trouble
when not in line succumb to the strain
in two or three days, Therefore this
surgeon proposed as a remedy the use
of rubber heels This device has been
tried in the French infantry with great
success
But our army has better plan than
that. We simply break step with the
command route step At this gait
the men march in columns of fOurs at
the rate of to 31a miles an hour. They
carry their pieces at will, keeping the
muzzle elevated. They are not required
to preserve silence nor to keep the step.
And that's why the American army
doesn't wear rubbers.-New York Press.
