Smallest Sheep in the World.

The very smallest of all the kinds Of
sheep is the tiny Breton sheep. 1t is
too small to be very profitable to raise
for, of course, it cannot have much
wool, and, as for eating, why, a hun.
cry man could eat almost whole one
at meal. 1t is so small when full
grown that it can hide behind q good
sized bucket.
1t takes its name from the part Of
France where it is most raised. But,
if not profitable sheep it is dear
little creature for a pet, for it Is very
gentle, and because 1t is so small, it is
not such a nuisance about the house
as was the celebrated lamb which be-
longed to little girl named Mary.
Any little girl could find room in
her lap for Breton sheep.
One of this little creatures pecu-
liarities is its extreme sympathy with
the feelings of its human friends,
when it has been brought up pet in
the house, and has learned to distin-
guish between happiness and unhap-
piness.
If any person whom it likes is very
much pleased about anything, and
shows it by laughing, the little sheep
will frisk about with every sign of joy;
but if, on the contrary, the persons
shed tears, the sympathetic friend
will evince its sorrow in an equally
unmistakable way.-Stray Stories.

The tendency of the present day to
make ocean steamships larger and
larger is emphasized by the plans OF
the new vessel which is to be built for
the North German Lloyd line. This
ship when completed will be forty.
eight feet longer than the Oceanic,
which measures 704 feet. The Deutsch-
land, the big ship of the Hamburg
American line, measures 6S5 feet.
The new steamer will also be the
fastest ship ahoat, beating the Kaiser
Wilhelm der Crosse, whose average
daily record is a fraction over twenty
two knots. The new ship will also
have 5000 more horse power than the
Deutschland. 1t would seem that the
size of ocean steamships must soon
reach its limit, otherwise we shall
have to enlarge our harbors.

was the still skeptlcal rejoinder.

wrestled with.

put another SO with that of

my heart, and made q vow that while

early the next day I communicated

ana pledged myself to pay each quar-
ter throughout the remainder of my
life an interest of ten per cent. per
month on that $40 deficit, the amount
to be applied solely to Chinese mis-.
sions. Therein lies my one hope of
some day reaching my unintentional

Fiend-LilSe Atroclty.

On July 26, 1894, there was per.
petrated about ten miles from Cham
bersburg, Penn, what Parkman, the
great historian of Colonial tines,
pronounces ''an outrage unmatched
in fend-like atrocitr, through all the
annals of the war" 1t was the mas
sacre of Enoch Brown, kind-hearted
exemplary Christian schoolmaster,
and ten pupils, eight boys and two
girls. There were eleven children
in the school, but one boy escaped
death, although horribly butchered.
On the above date, during the
Pontiac war, the children, under tho
care of the teacher, were pursuing
their studies IN the little log cabin,
when suddenly from the pine forest,
emerged a number OF Indians, who
fell upon the master and his pupils.
The teacher offered his life and scalp
in spirit of self-sacrifclng devotion
if the savages would only spare tho
lives of the littlo ones under his charge
and care.
The school house was located Oh a
ravine, near spring. Down this
ravine the savages fled, after having
committed their fiendish work and,
coming to the Conococheague Creek,
they travelled along its bed to conceal
their tracks as far as the mountain,
and made their escape eastward to
their village in Ohio Philadelphia

A town in Wisconsin has recently
passed an ordinance regulating the
speed Of street cars within city limits
at not TO exceed eight miles an hour
on single track and ten miles an
hour on double track. It was claimed
by the local police that the street
railway company had been violating
the ordinance and a test was ar
ranged Two city officials quietly
took their seats as passengers on a
car, and a third official, mounting a
bicycle provided with cycometer,
pedaied alongside, the two officials
inside the car acting as timekeepers
for him. The general speed of the
car between stops was never less
than twelve miles an hour. At sew
e2aI places it reached twenty miles
an hour, and in one instance it went
as high as twenty-six miles an hour.
Warrants were issued against all mo-
tormen running cars above speed, and
the city trolley is now vying with the
old horse service in speed and the
disgusted citizens are talking of re-
scinding their foolish limitations and
thus prevent their town from drifting
into back number.

SUED FC2 A SHOCK.
An Amusing Case That Has just Made
Washington Laugh

There was a funny case tried in the
Washington courts recently. A
butcher of the name of Nealon had an
electric fan in his stall at the market
to cool the atmosphere and drive away
the flies. 1t was manipulated by a
small thumbscrew beneath the coun-
ter, and when Nealon discovered that
he could charge his body with cleo
tricity by placing his hand or his foot
against the thumbscrew he INDUCED
in practical jokes upon such of his
customers as he thought were amiable
enough to endure them. When some
handsome young girl or jolly house.
wife would pick up leg of lamb or
o roast of beef to examine it Nealon
would place his hands upon it, close
the circuit, and she would receive an
electric shock. Nobody was hurt or
badly frightened and Nealon made q
good deal of fun for his customers.
One day, however, a man of the name
of William Schultz, who has no sense
of humor and hates practical Jokes,
picked up piece of corned beef from
ehO SOuhbCl VI 4NiCuOluo Aulu, WHO
had the adjoining stall. Mr.. Auth
had left his place in charge of Neigh
Dor Nealon for few moments while
he went to do an errand. When ne
returned Mr.. Schultz, who was one of
his regular customers, was dancing
around like wild man and crying for
vengeance. 1t seems that Nealon,
with his hunger for fun, had taken
hold of the chunk of corned beef
which Schultz had picked off Mr..
Auth's counter and had given the
nervous man shock from which he
claims to have suffered both in body
and mind. The butcher tried to
soothe him, but he would not be con-
soled, and went straightway to law
yer and brought suit for $40, 900 dam
ages against Mr.. Auth. The case wes
tried this week, but the jury found
for the defendant on the ground that
Mr.. Auth had nothing whatever to do
with the case. While it was his corned
beef it was Nealon's electricity, and
the latter was responsible for what
ever damage Mr.. Schultz had suffered.
Schultz had sued the wrong man.

fon capes to match are among the lat
est novelties. They are shown in
different shades of color, of tulle,
chiffon, and even fancy straw, and
are all on the picturesque order, and
suitable only for midsummer. Many
of the hats are without trimming Of
flowers or feathers, while others
again are heavily trimmed with arti-
fetal fruit-a late and very popular
fashion. A pale green hat of this sort
is in the toque shape trimmed with
punches of purple and green grapes,
and the cape designed to be worn
with it is an absurd affair in green
chiffon tied with purple ribbons.
These fashions are decidedly con-
spicuous, and bound to be short
lived, but as they are among the novel
ties of the season call for comment.
In contrast to them are the hats made
of light fancy straw and chiffon COM
bined, and three or four small buds.
While ON the subject of hats there
must be included the poke bonnet of
small size in fine straw that has white
ribbon around the crown, and white
ribbon strings. The brim inside is
faced with chiffon caught down with
one small bunch of flowers. -Harper's

WOMEN IN INDUSTRY,
Their Opportunity in the Postage Stamp
Business.

Their Opportunity in the Postage Stamp
Business.
Women appear as particularly
adapted to the identification and
classification of postage stamps, nec-
essary in the stamp dealers business,
and are to be found in the employ of
leading dealers. They also some
times do business as philatelists on
their own account. Girls are largely
preferred as clerks by dealers of ex-
perience, as they are said to be more
trustworthy than boys. who will
sometimes steal stamps when nothing
else would tempt them. Possibly
the collecting mania or instinct is
stronger with boya than with girls.
For most boys collect stamps as they
have the mumps o. the measles, but
the girl collector is more rare, al
though not by any means entirely un-
known.
The girl who enters upon employ
ment with stamp dealer without any
knowledge Of stamps is first instructed
by her employer in the Identification
OF the more common varieties, but
when stamps are purchased by him in
bulk, as is often the case, the first
thing to be done is to sort them and
to gather together all of those belong
ing to the Argentine Republic, Aus
tria, the Azores, and the other A
countries. Those of B countries are
placed by themselves, and so on
through the rest of the alphabet, un.
til this classification is finished. With
experience the girls knowledge, of
course, increases, and from the iden-
tiiication of such stamps as those of
Baden, Canada, Cape of Good Hope,
and others, upon which the name of
the country of issuance appears in
English, she passes at last to famili-
arity with and comprehension of such
stamps as those of Afghanistan, AL
wur, Bulgaria, Cashmere, Corea,
Russia, Turkey and others printed in
strange characters. When once the
certain knowledge of the stamps
point of origin has become fixed in
the girls mind, there then arises the
perplexing questions of roulettes and
their variations, perforates or imper-
forates, water marks, grills, inverts.
surcharges, errors, essays, trial or
experimental stamps, measurements
in millimetres, the perforaticn gauge
and host OF other items that are
dear to the hearts of collectors.
The stamp business is we'll adapted
for women. There is always a chance
of finding overlooked rare stamps in
purchased collections, or among old
and castaway letters, frequently
offered to dealers. Several stamps
among the United States issues are
individually worth a thousand dol
lars, while certain one of the British
Guiana stamps of the face value of
one cent has catalogue price of ST.

The modern confectionery business
is a very large one, and it is of old
standing. If we wished to trace it to
it's origin we might have to go back
not far short of five hundred years.
1t is about five centuries since sugar
was first imported into this country,
and it is probably not much less than
that since CONNECTIONS" began to be
concocted. They first appeared in q
medical form. Apothecaries, whose
potions were at one time very gener-
ally supposed to be efficacious just in
proportion as they were horribly nasty,
took to the newly imported sugar as a
means of mitigating the nauseousness
of their doses. They mixed their
drugs with it and coated their boluses.
That seems to have been the origin OF
the syrups and medicated candies, the
cough drops and lozenges of one sort
and another that are now so largely
in demand. They were originally
concocted by the doctors, and for
many long years all sorts of "lolli-
pops" were medicinal only. Sugar
was too dear and the generality of
people were too poor to permit of its
being eaten for its own sake alone and
as mere luxury.
Somewhere about couple of CEN
turies ago, however, there began to
appear new development of the
apothecary's art. CONNECTIONS" be-
gan to be made more or less apart
from any medicinal purpose, and
merely because people liked them.
The confectioner's business began to
evolve as an offshoot from the profess
sion of the apothecary, and eventually
became altogether separate thing,
though the common origin of the two
is still indicated by the syrups and
pastilles and troches prescribed by
the doctors, and the "drops" and
lozenges and other things sold among
the sweet stuff of the confectioner.-

The Size of the Waist.

1t will be relief to some girls with
athletic proclivities to know the ex-
trene limit which they may attain in
waist size without being considered
''out of fashion," For there is a
"fashion in waists" as in everything
else.
Years ago, before girls vera allowed
to engage in opeu-air recreations,
tiny, slim waist was considered correct
and children at an early age began
to wear corsets which were laced
tightly.
A girl of seventeen or eighteen
would endure asonies in order to re-
duce her waist. 1t is now considered
very bourgeois to lace tightly, and
the waist of full-grown girl should
not be smaller than twenty -four
inches. The proper measurement
for the chest Of girl whose waist is
of that size is thirty-eight inches.
Thus it will be seen that the modern
beauty must be solid and nearly ap-
proach the proportions of the heroic
age.
The present age is an athletic one,
and as long as girls continue healthful
exercises-lawn tennis, rowing, rid
ing, bicycling, fencing and vaulting-
bright eyes, good complexion and
firm, well-knit and muscular figures
will be found.
