SNEAKER and Speakers.

There is tale to the effect that while
Hon. Thomas Bracket Reed welded
the gavel a gentleman took his little
boy to the gallery Of the house Of repre-
sentatives. Looking down upon the
more numerous branch Of the federal
legislature the child asked, Father,
who is that large man sitting IN the
pulpit with a mallet in his hand?"
"He, my son." replied the fono par
ent, sis the house Of representatives"
"And who are those other men sitting
in semicircles around him." inquired
the tiny chap.
"They are the speakers Of the house
of representatives" answered pater-
familias. - Champ Clark in Leslles

Sable Sheep.

Sable sheep are not frequently seen
in England, but ebony lambs are plen-
tiful in the Australian commonwealth.
A colonial hockmaster had quite a
number of black lambs, and he folded
them in a range by themselves. He
found that black lambs might not re-
cur in flock in generations and then
recur suddenly. For example. where a
black ram was used in flock Of white
ewes the product was white lambs,
with few exceptions, and where sire
and dam were ebony colored the lambs
were mostly white. And so the Aus
tralians gave up the attempt to found
q sable flock. Where wool Is dyed q
deep color sable wool absorbs less dye
and makes q more durable color. Still
black fleece absorbs more sun rays than
white, and black sheep are more serl-
ously affected by heat.-London Live
