MICE IN THE Sleeps WOOL.
New York Farmer Finds Eighty OF
the Tiny Creatures En'ooneed
I'm Fleecy Homes.

Adsit Bailey keeps a good many
sheep on his farm in the town of Ur-
bana, says Bath IN. " report He
noticed the other day, on going out to
feed his flock, a black spot on the back
of one of the sheep. Y
When he went to look at it the spot
instantly disappeared. Then another
black spot appeared for an instant on
the sleeps back and as quickly went
out of sight.
This time the farmer saw that the
black spot was a mouse, land while he
was looking at the place where it had
been third black spot came into sight
at the same place on the sleeps back
and disappeared as the others had.
Then Farmer Bailey Thought it was
time to investigate, and he thrust his
hand down into the sleeps thick coat
of wool d~found three snug and coy
mouse nests, each with newborn lit
ter of young ones in it. He lost no time
in breaking up those odd mouse colo
MES, and then looked over others of
his sheep. with the result that he found
four more in the depths of whose wool
mice had chosen warm places to build
nests and bring forth their young.
Ten nests were found in all, contain
ing an aggregate of 80 young mice.
The sheep seemed not only not to
mind the presence of the mouse nests
in their f1eeces, but acted as if they
were not pleased with their removal
and the destruction of their contents.

SOUTHERN LABoR PROBLEM.


The question Of farm Ia Dor in Louisil
anaSis becoming very serious, reports
the New Orleans Picaypne. The ne.
groes, who have heretofore done ali
the plantation work are hocking to the
towns and cities, where they can get
occasional jobs and find 9th er means
of living without having to perform
regular work. In Louisiana there's no
season when work on the plantation
ceases. There is as much done out of
doors in the winter as in the summer.
and as consequence la borers must re-
side upon the plantation, SO that they
can perform labor daily, which goes on
all the year round. This is not the
case on farms in northern states,
where the winter weather puts an end
to all agricultural labor for the sea-
son. - - -
: The negro, left to his own w devices,
has found out that a life of ease, with
the doing of occasiondlspurts Of work,
is more to his taste, and this has caused
movement from the farms to the
towns, where the colored people herd
together and content themselves with
doing odd jobs. The negro women in
town go out, with more or less regular
ity, to- daily service; but they return
at night to their own quarters. and tn e
greatest part of their earnings go to
support the idle men. The Louisiana
country papers are. complaining of the
great lack of laborers: ,!!Consid cradle
numbers of Italians are coming into
the state direct from their native coun-
try, and they are said to be industrious
and reliable. ,>-.>@ie:.>-~''

HORSES LIKE TOBACCO
\ Chewer Of the to some OBJ
IL / ~ noxious Weed. %ss 3 &. lbs

i ':You bet your life: that horses love
tobacco" said-a horse owner. to the
man who was. inclined to doubt his
original assertion that horses were
very fond of chewing tobacco, relates
the Washington Star: ''Don't they2''
he asked the fat policeman who was
listening to the argument. The latter
assented, and the first speaker went
on. "My old friend here" pointing to
the policeman, remembers that roam
horse usedto have. Well, every morn
ing when I went into the nag's stall
she looked around at me as much as
to ask if had brought her morning
chew of tobacco with me. l used to
tease her by pretending did not see
her, but she would look around again,
and then begin to make noise. After
I would tease her awhile I would give
her a good chew of tobacco, and she
would be satisfied. Then I gave her
the morning meal on top of that. The
tobacco was somewhat stimulating,
and whenever it is once started you
may be sure you will have to keep it
up. It prevents collie, and makes the
coats of che animals sleek and pretty.
I remember horse I used to have
that I frequently gave chew of my to-
bacco. One day I pulled long plug
of the weed out of my pocket, and
after taking chew myself handed it
over to the horse. The animal tore off
a big chew and was rolling: it around
in his mouth when I looked around and
saw an old woman standing there.
You ought to be ashamed of YOURSELF
she said. Isn't it bad enough to chew
tobacco yourself, without teaching
the poor beast to contract the vile
habit? Il didn't answer her, as felt
certain that the horse was enjoying
himself, while the woman fused"

ORANGES AS CARD-CHIPS.
Novel Feature of a Lazy Game Played
by Turks to Keep Themselves
Awake.

During Ramazan the sale of oranges
in Constan tinople fell off in most
surprising manner, and the reason was
still more curious, says the London
Telegraph. 1t was because the gov
eminent had suddenly issued an order
prohibiting the game of "skambil
kiat" in public places, and had seized
all the cards. At first the,connection
between oranges, andfa card game does
not appear clear, but. it comes about
in this way: At the time of Ramazan
all Turks try to keep awake as much
as possible, and the cafes are full at
night. The assembl ed crowds of por-
tiers, boatmen, ETC., pass the hours
playing cards, dominoes, or backgam-
mon, but thesfavorite game is skambil,
as it finishes very quickly and is no
trouble
The keepers of the cafes used to in
sist on each player (there are four)
buying an orange for a half-penny,
the winner taking the lot. In this way
large quantities of oranges were dis
posed Of. but the business suddenly
came to an end with the stoppage Of
"skambil," for dominoes and other
games take too long to make an Or
ange sufficient stake.

THE ABYSSINIAN CALENDAR.
Names of the Days and Years Are
Those of Saints-Method of
Reckoning Time.

A fearful and wonderful thing is
the Abyssinian calendar. Nearly every
day is a saints day, and is known by
it's proper name, and not by it's date.
For instance, if you ask an Abyssinian
whether "a certain thing happened on
the 18th of Hadar (the equiva lent of
our November 23), he will not under
stand what you mean; but if you say:
"Was it on Abuna Aragawe (the name
for that day. that you stole that
Sheep" comprehending smile will
overspread his handsome and intelli-
gent features.
The year is divided into IL mon tbs
of 80 days each, and at the end of the
year, to make up the 365 days, are
added five days, called "Quagme."
Each year in succession is called
Matthews, Markos, Lukos, Johannis.
Matthews, Markos and Johannis have
each "Quagme" of five days, but
Lukos, or leap year, has "Quagme"
of six days. The Abyssinian year be-
gins on our September II, and, al
though dating as we do from the birt,e
of Christ, they are nearly eight years
behind us in time-Septembe II, 1900
was in their calendar 1st Maskaram,
1898. Their method of reckoning the
hours OF the day is also peculiar, to
our notions. They count the day as be-
ginning at sunrise, and not at mid
night, as we do. Thus our seven a. m.
is their - o'clock day; eight p. m. is
their one o'clock day, and our six p m.
with US would be two o'clock night
with them, and our four a. M would be
their ten o'clock night.
