HIS CAPACITY HAD LIMITS.

An old farmer, who was in the habit
of eating what was set before him,
asking no questions, dropped into Il
Memphis cafe for dinner. The waiter
gave him the menu card and explained
to the old gentleman that it was the
list of dishes the cafe served for DIM
ner that day Accordingly he began at
the top of the bill of fare and ordered
each thing in turn until he had covered
one-t third of it, The prospect of what
was still before him was too over
towering, yet there were some things
at the end that he wanted to try. He
called the waiter and confidently mark
ing off the spaces on the card with his
index finger, said:
Look here, I've ct frum thar to
thar. Can I skip from that to thar and
eat on to the bottom ?''-Memphis

Sheep In Spain.

In Spain there are some 100000 of
migratory sheep. which every year
travel as much as 200 miles from the
plains to the "delectable mountains"
where the shepherds feed them till the
SHOWS descend. These sheep are known
as transhumantes. and their march,
resting places and behavior are regu-
lated by ancient and special laws and
tribunals dating from the fourteenth
century.
At certain times no one is allowed to
travel on the same route as the sheer,
which have right to Craze on all open
and common land on the way and for
which a road 90 yards wide must be
left on all inclosed and private proper
ty. The shepherds lead the fiocks, the
sheep follow, and the tlocks are accom-
panied by mules carrying provisions
and large dogs which act as guards
against the wolves. The merino sheep
travel 400 miles to the mountains, and
the total time spent on the migration
there and back is IA weeks.-Spectato

DREAMS OF TWILIGHT,

When the windows fame at sunset
And the streets are sluiced with blood
And the dying day is sinking
In the nights advancing flood,
Smoky volumes lightly trailing
Veil the housetops stark and high,
Tinged with purple that the moment
Deepens in the western sky.
When the shadows round us gather
And the darkness settles fast
And each flush of life conclusive
Seems but prelude to the last,
Dreams shall soften wasted faces,
Fraught with presage dark tonight,
Dreams that like the smoke shall vanish
At the coming of the night.
