MYALG1A AND IT'S CAUSES.


This is term used in a very gem
eral and indefinite way to denote mus
cular pain, especially pain for which
no evident cause can be found in the
muscles themselves. There are no
signs Of Inflammation, no redness or
heat of the skin, no swelling, and lit
tie or no local tenderness ON pressure
over the painful part. The trouble
may be acute or chronic, sudden in its
invasion, or Of gradually increasing
intensity. The pain varies much in
character also, being sometimes sharp.
sometimes dull, sometimes throbbing,
sometimes cramp-like. Usually there
Is a constant dull ache. which In
!, creases to acute pain when the affected
muscle contracts; but in some cases
no trouble is experienced while the
muscle is at rest, the sufferer being
reminded of his malady only when he
makes a motion involving the painful
part.
Sometimes the myalgia is more or
less diffused over certain region. as
the back or the chest: or 1t may be
limited to one special muscle, such as
the deltoid. which covers the shout
der-joint.
In children the most common seat
OF myalgia seems to be the neck
wry In older persons the back
is perhaps the most commonly AFFECT

SHEEP AND GOAT.
TRANSFORMATION OF THE
SPANISH BREEDS.
Goatskins Produced in All tho South
OF Spain - Gloves from shecpskin-
spanish Kid and Goatskins Exported
20 United States. q

Several kinds Of sheep are bred in
Spain, but the most valuable, on ac-
count of the excellent quality of the
skins, are those found in the provinces
of Murcia and Catalonia and in the
district Of La Mancha, in New CASTLE;
dura. which, however, are esteemed
more for their fine wool than for the
pelt. The finer the wool the poorer the
skin for tanning purposes. In Estre-
madura the celebrated Merino sheep
are bred. Merino wool was at one
time considered the finest obtainable
in Europe, but like many other nat
ural sources of wealth in Spain, sheep
farming has suffered from lack of en-
terprise and energy. The. skin of the
Estremadura sheep :. is unsuitable for
gloves and can be used only for in
ferior articles Spanish sheep are
white, excepting those Of La Mancha,
which are black The skin of the
lamb is used for making gloves and is
classified into t..firsts' and seconds, /"
according to the fineness of the grain
and the number of defects in the skin.
In Millau and st. Julien, in France, in
Yeovil, in England, and also in several
parts of Germany are large tanneries
devoted to the preparation of the skins
exported from Murcia, Catalonia and
La Mancha. These tanneries, either
directly or through commission firms,
send large proportion of their output
to the United States, which is an i'm
portant market for glove skins. When
the animal is more fully grown, it's
skin can no longer be used for making
