SHEEP RAISING IN GERMANY.

Sheep raising in Germany is
rapidly on the decline. Pasture
lands adapted to grazing have
been compelled 10 give way to
the pillow, and cheap ocean
freights. which have enabled the
wool growers OF Argentina,
Australia and Cape Colony to
underbid the home producers,
have sealed the fate Of this in.
dustry in Germany. In 1860,
there we're 2S,000.000 head of
sheep in all the different states
which to day compose the Ger.
man empire. In 1878, this mum
Der had been reduced to 25.000,
900. The statistics for 1888
show 10, 100000, and for 1892
only l3,590,000. In the fall of
1897, there we're 10000, 600
sheep in Germany, or decrease
of almost 300 per cent in 40
years. This is the more signiti
cant, when we consider that
mutton forms staple food
product in the sustenance Of any
people, and especially so in
Germany, where the inhabitants
increase at the rate of 100000
annually. To day, Germany is
only able to supply 20 per cent
of the wool necessary for her
textile industries. In 1900
nearly $50, 100000 worth Of i'm.
ported wool was consumed by
the textile Industries of the
empire.

the Old Pueblo

A brace of young married couples
l. ing in adjoining cottages within
easy walking distance OF the shopping
district of Congress street. have been
having little quarter limit poker
seances in each others houses during
the past few months. A few weeks
ago another young couple took cot
tage in the same block, IL didn't take
long for the first pair of matrons to
get into conversation with the new
conner on the subject OF tn care and
treatment of china trees, the best flea
wash for terriers, the garbage man. the
milk thief, and other topics dear TO the
souls of young housekeepers.
The newcomer was very demure
little thing, and whose clothes. as the
other two women decided between
themselves. were suspiciously "bridey."
She hadn't. as matter of fact. been
married very long. She looked as If
she would about rank with the class 4
bunch in q spelling bee in a Salt River
Valley little red schoolhouse. and she
didn't make any pretensions to being
next to metropolitan ways.
Her husband looked as II he might
run to fires on very slight provocation.
He looked as II no suit Of clothes could
ever be made to fit him. and he had the
Ruoe walk Of an agriculturist trying
not to tread on beds OF spring onions.
He handled his hands and feet as if
they belonged to somebody else. and
he wore pale pink crocheted four-in-
hand neektfe that his wife. so. she said.
had manufactured for him with her
own little hands-which ought to be
about enough for him.
1t wasn't very long before the bridey
looking young matron from the country
found out. by accident that the other
two couples INDUCED in semi-weekly
pokerfests. The other two women
we're afraid when she found this out.
that she would give them the sad eye
and curl up on them. But she didn I.
We should like to learn how to
