Goats in the

AT the rate at#Which the Angora
goat is now securing a#foothold in the
west and the southwest the time is not
far distant when the goat industry
will take precedence over the business
Of cattle and sheep culture. Since
1849, when the first Angora goats were
brought to this country by Dr. James
b. Davis, of South Carolina, who re-
ceived them as present from the
Sultan OF Turkey, the goat has slowly
but surely gained a standing among
the industries Of the west, until there
are now many more than a million
goats in Arizona, New. Mexico, Texas,
California, Idaho Utah and Oregon.
Stockmen are awakening to the
great possibilities in the Angora, and
this at a time when the profits OF rails
ling sheep and cattle are on the de-
cline. Almost every region Of the west
possesses the peculiar requisites for at
tanning the best results in raising An
CORA goats, and experts declare that
the conditions in the mountainous re-
gions of Arizona are almost identical
with those Of the province of Angora,
Turkey The summers are warm and
dry and the winters cold and wet, con-
|diIlons which are conducive to the
highest develop Of the goat, IN
flesh and fleece. 81
So great lis the confidence in the fu-
ture OF the goat industry that a large
amount Of capital is being put into
goats By northern sheep growers. Sew

of Caraven reached Rayensmere. No

They had been so heavily burdened,
so taxed and tormented by the earls
confidential agent, Mr.. Blantyre, that
they had no welcome left for his mas
ter. They considered him an unjust
landlord, and they did not scruple to
say so. There were no glad shouts of
welcome for him; even the curly-head-
ed children had heard so often of the
earl's folly and neglect that they had
. no cheer for him when his carriage
drove through the streets of Court
Raven. Nor was there any warm well
come from the servants. They were
most of them new ones; as the old re
tainers had died off or gone away, the
earl had never retained them. The
house had become dilapidated; the ser
wants were few, the stables empty. i
1t was all different now-John Blan-
tyre had had carte blanche. The in
terror of the castle had been beauti-
fed, decorated, and refurnished; we'll
trained servants had been brought
from London; the stables had been
filled. There was general air of pros
perity about the place, so that the earl
hardly knew it again. ,a r.
Did Lord Caraven miss the well
come? Did he see that he was disliked
by his tenants-that his servants
seemed to have no interest in him ?
Did it strike him that a life Of self
indulgence always brings it's own re-

darted under the weapon suspended
over them. A quick plunge, with sure
aim, green flash through the air, and
the struggling, laaping victim was
landed on the deck. And now we saw
the dying dolphin. Let scientists sx-
plain how it changes its colors; we can
but make record of its appearance, The
glowing. green died away to silver.
This became spotted with blue which
gradually spread until the whole fish
was a sapphire color. Waves Of gold
flashed over It, growing deeper until it
was golden fish, only to be trans
formed into a roseate one by spots
which came and extended. Thus from
color to color changed the cleaning

deep, until pity was almost forgotten
in admiration and we exclaimed.
Never have we seen anything more
