Adsit Bailey keeps q good many
sheep on his farm in the town Of Dr.
bana, says a Bath IN. ~ report. he
noticed the other day, on going out to
feed his hoole, a black spot on the back
Of one of the sheep.
When he went to look at it the spot
instantly disappeared. Then another
black spot appeared for an instant on
the sleeps back and az quickly went
out Of sight.
This time the farmer saw that the
black spot was a mouse, and 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 and found three snug and coy
mouse nests, each with q newborn lit
ter of young ones in It. BE lost no time
in breaking up those odd mouse colo
MES, and then looked over others OF
his sheep, with tho 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 al, contain
ing an aggregate of 80 young mice.
The sheep seemed not only not to
mind the presence of the mouse nests
IN their deeces, but acted AZ II they
were not pleased with their removal
and the destruction of their contents.

SOUTHERN LABOR pRoBLEM.
ana TArms Are Su1eF114 tor
HAAAo 70 Work,

The question Of farm labor In Louisi-
ana is becoming very serious, reports
the New Orleans Picayune. The ne
groes, who have heretofore done all
the plantation work, are focking to the
towns and cities, where they can get
occasional jobs and find other means
of living without having to perform
regular work. In Louisiana there is no
season when work on the plantation
ceases. There ii as much done out Of
doors in the winter as in the summer,
and as a consequence laborers must re-
side upon the plantation, so that they
can perform labor daily, which goes on
oil tho 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, loft to his own devices,
has found out that life Of ease, with
the doing OF occasional spurts Of work,
IL more to his taste, and this has caused
q movement from tho farms to the
towns, where tho 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 the
greatest part Of their earnings go to
support the idle men. The Louisiana
country papers ore complaining Of the
great lack of laborers. Considerable
numbers of Italians are coming into
the state direct from their native coun-
try, and they are said to be industrious
and reliable.

The Southern VIZ.

"Your northern girls may have the
style and oil that sort of thing" said
q southern gentleman to q northern
gentleman the other day, "but our
girh have the breeding" And, indeed,
says the Boston Transcript, southern
manners and southern courtesy are a
different fabric from that which il
known in our strenuous social and in
dustrial life. Take, for instance, the
southern way of issuing invitations.
Instead Of intrusting them haphazard
to che mail by q careless messenger,
the southern girls I'LL the family car
rage with their girl friends, and q
generous hamper of lunch, to be en-
joyed en- route, making . pleasant
days outing, while stopping along the
way to leave the invitations for the
forthcoming festivity. It il !. deli
cate personal attention almost IN

New Rochelle Citizens Declare Park
AXenue Tunnel Nuisnnce.

A dispatch from New York says that
Samuel W. Marvin. chairman of the COM
mittee appointed by the mass meeting held
at New Rochelle to consider the New York
Central tunnel disaster. reported yesterday
that the committee had resolved that the
Park avenue tunnel as it now exists is a
nuisance, unheathful and unsafe a nui-
sance which can be abated and must be
abated; that the moral responsibility for
that dreadful carnage and destruction rests
upon the railroad managers because of in
difference and false economy" and that
the committee calls upon the governor,
and the legislature to take immediate ac-
the railroad commission, the board of health
ton to abate the nuisance and remove the
menace"
A resolution was also formulated calling
upon the board of railroad commissioners
to compel the New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad to discontinue the use
of coal oil lamps a means of lighting
passenger coaches upon their road.

Revival of the Newspaper War Be-
tween Two Countries.

/
| A dispatch from London yesterday says:
| A remarkable article appears in today's
| Times under the caption of Literature of
| German Anglophobia,' recounting the char
acter of the anti-British cartoons which
| have appeared in the German newspapers,
which, the Times says, '.in coarseness.
obscenity and venom are without parallel
in modern times"
The wisdom of the publication of the
article at this juncture is much questioned.
The Star says:
The Times today. of all days begins a
series of articles on the offensive German
caricatures. Every newspaper has long
| been aware of these caricatures but the
responsible journals have not advertised
| these insults, simply because no good could
| be done by setting the British and German
| peoples by the ears The Times ought to
| hesitate before it deliberately f1ogs the pas
| sion of the people. Are our publicists mad?
| Can they not see the abyss toward which
| they are bounding this long-suffering ma
| tion?''
The Times article, which is two columns
| long says:
These papers are not gutter sheets. but
are sold everywhere at the stations of the
state railroads. even at POtsdam station,
where the emperor is constantly travelling.
He was finally obliged to personally order
their removal Neither are these papers
anonymous. One of the most Infamous
the title pages the names of persons dis
tingushed in the literary and artistic world
of Germany. From a purely technical
standpoint, the paper is an art production; !;
but it is difficult to find words to convey
a notion of the filth which its cultured art
lists and writer's venture to lay before its
cultured German readers. British soldiers
are represented as robbing the dead; Mr..
Chamberlain's state coach is depicted as a
cart laden with skeletons, and King Ed
ward is shown dead drunk in his bed room,
receiving the news of Cronje's surrender.
But the crowning piece is a cartoon en-
titled Hero Worship The then Princess
of Wales, with Queen Victoria. the Prince
of Wales and the young princesses by her
side, is decorating youthful soldier. The
legend underneath reads textually, An En-
glish princess decorating the youngest SOL
dier in the British army with the Victoria
cross because, although only thirteen, he
has already outraged eight Boer women
This obscenity sold in respectable shops
was eagerly bought by the public and lies
on fashionable drawing room tables
The Court Circular announces that Ad-
m,ral Baron Senden-Bibran chief of
the naval cabinet Of Emperor William. has
been received in audience by King Edward,
and that he delivered to his majesty let
ter from the German emperor.
The Times points out that Admiral Baron
Won Senden-Bibran came to England upon
a similar mission after Emperor Williams
famous Kruger telegram. in 1896. and Sug-
gests that the letter referred to in the an
nouncement by the Court Circular is in
tended to assuage the present political
estrangement.
