Money In Sheep.

There is no branch of the live stock
industry making such rapid gains as
the sheep business, says The Drovers'
Journal. All kinds of people out west
are investing IN sheep, hoping that the
present good condition will keep up.
People are naturally attracted to any
business that is making money, regard
less of whether they know anything
about it or not. AT the present rate of
growth it looks as if the thing might
be overdone, as it has been in the past,
and that those who are looking for
profit and experience might at least get
all of the latter they want. Sheep are
prolific and soon reach maturity, and
even with good demand for both wool
and mutton there is possibility of
overstocking the demand. There is no
better business than the sheep bust
ness for one who understands it, and
there is none that is fuller of pitfalls
for the novice. Like any other bust
ness, one should learn more about it
than can be got from books before
branching.

TruejFarm,ne Spirit.

The true spirit of farming, says Pro-
fessor Shaw, lies rather in growing pro-
ducts on the farm and in turning them
to the best possible account than in
trafficking in produce. Unfortunately
this spirit is all too prevalent in the
west. 1t is rooted in the desire to jump
into wealth rather than to grow into it.
The man who grows nearly all corn,
who buys cattle, sheep or swine, who
literally shovels his corn into them,
leaving the greater portion of his corn
stalks in the field, may get rich by 10
doing if a shrewd dealer, but he is not
the man to enrich bis country. The
farmer who goes out into a neighbor-
hood and buys lot of lambs from diff.
ferent neighbors to feed may make
good money, but he does so at the ex-
pense of the dozen men who sold to
him. If every farmer grew his own
stock and finished it in good form.
the country would be vastly richer than
it is today, and SO also would the aver
age farmer be.

Date of christ's Birth.

Before the arbitrary setting of q
chronological era by the head of the
Roman catholic church, with its incep-
tion beginning with the birth of Christ,
mankind reckoned time from various
dates; the Jew from the era of Neb
onasser, TAT B. c.: the Greek from the
Olympiads, dating from the year in
which Coroebus was victor in the Olym-
pic games, i. g., 776 b. c., and the Ro-
mans from the generally adopted date
of the founding of Rome, or 753 B. G..
The need of common date for use
among the mixed peoples of the early
christian times prompted the ruling
powers at Rome to appoint one Diony.
stus Exiguus, monk of that commun-
ion, and man we'll versed in the neces-
sary learning, to create christian era
which should begin with the birth of
Christ in Bethlehem of Judea. This era
was established in the sixth century
and became general throughout all the
civilized earth. Long after its adoption,
and when it could not we'll be corrected
an error of four years was found to
exist, Jesus having been born four
years before the time set as year of
his era. The Christian era commenced
on the 1st of January in the fourth year
of the 1874 Olympaid, the 753d from the
foundation of Rome and the 4,7l4th of
the Julian period, which dates are all
some four years later tn an that that of
Christ's birth as now accepted.
Christ was born then, in the year we
now call 4 b. G., and died A. d. 30
Recent scholarly research places the
birth of Christ at some three wears
earlier, or B. G., but this position is
not verified. There are, however, his.
torical facts related in Lukes gospel
ILL.,, l-2 and in the Acts the dates of which
can be placed with fair certainty, and
from these it is decided by christian
and profane historians that Christ was
born four years before the beginning Of
the Christian ra.-Denver post.

THE OPEN MOUTH.
Said to BE a Survival of Babyhood
Tendencies.

Said to Be q Survival of Babyhood
Tendencies.
Hiram NJ. Stanley advances new
explanation Of the tendency to open the
mouth In surprise and astonishment
Darwin ascribed this tendency to the
intuitive desire for quietness and eff
fectiveness Of breathing and to mere
relaxation of the muscles. Mr.. Stanley
finds deeper organic reason-namely,
that the open mouth Is the attention
sign, and is primitive and constant
reaction with the young of many ami
mails for the reception Of food-for ex-
ample. with birds.
Any sound or other stimulus immeti-
ately causes the young bird to extend
Its mouth. With young infants the
same influence has often the same ef-
feet. The mouth Of the infant under
such stimulation usually assumes the
sucking form, and its smile when the
finger is pointed at 1t may be either
nascent or degraded sucking.
Mr.. Stanley maintains that the COM
mon and highly useful tendency Of the
very young to open the mouth to all
stimuli, visual, aural, ETC., continues as
a survival in after life, being especially
brought out with stimuli of high inten-
sity and unusual quality and thus be-
comes mark of surprise and astonish-
ment. 1t is habit very common
among boys and girls to open the
mouth under any attention. The rise
Of smiling and laughter as connect
ed with wit and humor-at the basis of
which lies surprise-thus declares It.
self as kind Of attention expression.
Assuming that the primary express
sion of the mouth Is feeding express
sion and that this probably has been
modified and evolved in connection
with variety of attention phenomena,
Mr.. Stanley suggests that it would be
worth while to make detailed study
Of expression in infants and young ami
mails with this point in view.-St. Louis

which was named as depository for
the receipt of funds of the United
States. In connection with this, the

recently been brought to light:
"New York, June 5, 1s97-My Dear
Mr.. Gage: The National City Bank, of
this city, of which l recently became
vice-president through the consolidation
of the business of the Third National
Bank with it, is one of the banks
designated as q United States de-
pository, and l write to request that in
any changes which may be made under
the administration we may, not be dis
turbed in this respect. We should like
to remain United States depository as
at present. Of.scourse, the bank is
strong, and if you will take the pains
TO look at our list of directors you will
sec that we have also great political
claims, in view of what was done
