The Pediaree Maniac.

OF all the forms of lunacy one of
the strangest is the mania for pedi-
gree hunting. The dtails of the genoa
logical trees of the Towards or the
Cavendishes have, of course, a his
torical Importance and are of i'm
mense interest, but the pedigree
maniac generally busies himself with
much smaller game. Why any human
being should exercise himself with
the doings of the ancestors of Mr..
Jones-Smotn, none of whom were
persons of the slightest public or
social Importance, is one of the I'M
solved mysteries OF life, remarks the
London Taller. In Ireland, especially
among the "squireen" class, this par
ticular form of imbecility is very com
mon. Instances are by no means
rare of men of great natural ability
devoting a lifetime to the pursuit of
endeavoring to prove that 800 years
ago some particular ancestor of
theirs was in possession of a farm,
of Y few acres in extent, some years,
months or days earlier that it is stat
ed in some musty annals which no
sane human being ever read.

Pennies from Hesslan Graves.

A number of prominent men of
Trenton, n. j., are now giving fancy
prices for dead mems pennies. These
are found in the graves of the old
First Presbyterian churchyard, where
Col. Rohl. the Hessian commander.
and others who were with him in the
celebrated battle of Trenton, were
buried.
Excavations were necessary to
building the foundation of a new choir
gallery. The bones of long-buried dead
have been disturbed and are to be
reinterred- In these graves have been
found the pennies which have become
valuable for keepsakes and pocket
pieces. The men who have found
these pennies are not saying much
about them, because of the fear that
those in authority may compel the
finders to hand the coin over and re
bury. according to the old-time Ger
man custom when coin was thrown
into the grave
The general supposition is that these
pennies were buried with the Hessians
slaughtered in the battle of Trenton

There's a queer thing about Ital.

Mutton Rreeds and Merlnos comparee

Prof W. A. Henry: The Merino
sheep is peculiarly a wool bearer. and
nearly all lines descended from the
Spanish stock have been selected with
that single end in view The story OF
the Spanish Merino in its home coun-
try forms one of the most interesting
chapters extant in the history of live
stock. In their pilgrimage from South
to Central Spain each spring and their
return in the fall, the Spanish ffocks
make annual journeys covering in all
about 1000 miles Only the strongest
and most rugged animals survive the
long, fatiguing and perilous marches.
The ability to exist in enormous
focks. to range over a vast territory,
and to subsist upon scant food, are the
leading of the many remarkable quail
ties wrought by stern fate into the
very fiber and constitution of the
Merino sheep.
Almost opposite in some respects are
the English mutton breeds of sheep.
which have been reared in small focks
confined to limited pastures, the best
specimens being saved and nurtured
by kindly hands with intelligent at
tention to all their wants They have
been sheltered from storms and given
roughage and grain from barn and
stack, whenever the fields were scant
of heritage or the weather severe. In
general, the life of the English mutton
sheep has been one of plenty almost
to surfeit and quiet contentment. In
this country we cannot hope to attain
the wonderful success reached by
British sheep-owners unless we follow
closely or improve upon their methods.
The rules and practices prevalent in
this country in handling Merino sheep
will prove satisfactory with the NUT
ton breeds, and the feeder, in the very
inception of his flock experience,
should duly consider the habits and
characteristics of the animals he Is
