.SHEEP-Tbere was only one car of
sheep on sale today and that sold at Just
about steady prices. They were natives and
the wethers brought $500 and the lambs
$6S. For the week the receipts show a
decrease as compared with the same week
OF last year, but as compared with last
week there is an Increase. The demand has
been In good shape all the week for de-
sirable offerings, but the bulk of the sheen
and lambs on sale have been of rather in
ferior quality. on such kinds the market
has been slow and for the week prices are
probably q quarter lower. The choice
grades, though. have not shown much OF
any change.

The BarnacIe Goose.

Down until the middle of the
eighteenth century many supposed
to be educated people in the world
actually. believed that the barnacle
or brant goose was Matched from
the parasitic shell known to conchol-
ogists as the barnacle or as scientif-
ically the barnecula. Holinshed, the
English historian who fourished
just before Shakespeare's appear
ance in English literature, in writ
ing of the barnacle goose says, 81
have seen these barnacles hanging
upon roots, timbers, etc., with the
feathers hanging out of the shell
two inches" Drayton's Herbal"
published seventeen years after the
death of Holinshed, refers to the
wonderful barnacle goose as fol-
lows: "In the north Of Scotland
there are certain trees wherein do
grow shellfshes, which, falling into
the water, dc become fowles whom
we call barnacles and in the north
of England brant geese; in Lam
cashire, tree geese or shell geese"

Cows on the Roof.

The funniest thing yet discovered
in the management of cows is the
Peruvian fashion Of keeping them
on top of the house. The big ram
bling houses Of Lima have adobe
roofs, fiat as board floor, and there
are hundreds Of them in the sub
urbs Of that proud old city which
serve the purposes Of barnyard.
The mules and horses are housed in
the lower rooms Of the house-for
in Spanish America 1t is not gener-
ally the fashion for humans to in
habit the ground foor-while Or
the top fowls, pigs and goats are
raised, and the COW spends her days
there, having been carried up when
a calf.
