Another read:


Wild sheep depend for greatest pro-
lection on their climbing capabilities.
They travel where no man can follow,
and often in climbing use their knees
instead of their fore hoofs. Their first
instinct at the approach of an enemy
is to start for the mountain top, aiming
IL possible to get above and keep above
the enemy.
Wolves, wolverines and eagles are
their most common enemies, and the
lambs suffer extensively from these.
Wolves are capable of taking down
grown animals, but In summer hunger
seldom induces them to make the
struggle, and In winter they prefer
lower attitudes. There are many stories
told Of the lordly ram doing battle
with wolves, which are on a par with
the story of leaping from dizzy heights.
The old rams are cunning, and in this
lies their greatest safety. They are
perfectly at home on rocky lodges,
where the wolf Is not, and IL they can
gain such a position they will. with
one charge, hurl the wolf to the rocks
below.-A. ]. Stone In Outing.

Lead Pencil Experiments.

An English statistician was asked
how many words could be written with
an English lead pencil, and, being de-
termined to answer it, he bought lead
pencil and SCOTS "Ivanhoe" and pro-
eeeded to copy the latter word by word.
He wrote 9560S words and then was
obliged to stop, for the pencil had be-
come so short that he could not use it.
A German statistieian who heard of
this experiment was dissatisfied with
1t because all the lead in the pencil was
not used on the work. and therefore he
bought pencil and started to copy a
long German novel. When the pencil
was so short that he could not handle
1t with his fingers, he attached a holder
to it, and it is said that he wrote with
this one pencil 100000 words. Posi-
bly,, however, his pencil was longer or
the lead in it was of a more durable
quality

The Vulgar Voice,

What constitutes the vulgar voice?
In an article in the London Spectator
a writer concludes that this evidence or
vulgarity, springs, like almost all vul-
garity, however displayed. chiefly from
two causes-an undue love Of conspfcu-
BUSINESS and an undue fear of the
same" The person whose chief aim
is to keep himself or herself in the eye
of the world rarely makes remark
without desiring that 1t shall reach the
ears of others besides the one directly
addressed, and here the peculiarly false
sound of the voice is attributed to the
absence of singleness of motive. On
the other hand, the wavering tone and
affected accent of the timid vulgar are
ascribed to another form of insincerity
namely, the wish to initiate others
with whom one happens to be when
they are OF q supposedly higher social
standing The attempt Is sure to fail
and the result only in the suppression
of all evidence of the speakers own
personaiity--in the voice as well as In
the manner. Thus sincerity, paramount
in all art, is basic in breeding as well.

Proceedings Instituted Against Big
Companies for Alleged Violations
of Sherman Antitrust Law.

New York, Dec. 20.-Daniel j. NJ
O'Callaghan, lawyer of this city,
who refuses to give the names of his
clients, instituted proceedings yester-
day against the General Electric COM
pany and the Westinghouse Electric
and Manufacturing company, for al
legged violations of the Sherman anti

ance with the provisions of the law,
should have been filed with United
States Attorney General Knox, were
served on United States District At
torney H. {. Burnett, by whom thoy
will be forwarded to Washington.
The assertion is made in the papers
filed that at different times since the
organization OF the General Electric
company the plants and sales rooms
Of all the companies controlled by the
Thomson-Houston company, one Of
the concerns in the General Electric
company, have been closed, though
the corporate existence of the Thorn

tanned. The petition further alleges
that on March IL, 1896, the General
Electric and Westinghouse companies
entered into written agreement to
limit competition, regulate prices,
make an interchange OF patent Ii
censes, and divide the territory m
which each could sell goods without
competition from the other. 1t is also
asserted that there is absolutely DO

very hungry. on the advice of his wife
both tasted of the sausage. which
dwindIed with every mile.
Arriving at Paris, Heine did not dare
to send the remainder to the physician,
and yet ne wished to keep his promise.
So he cut off the thlnnest possible
slice with his razor. wrapped II In a
sheet of yellum paper and inclosed 1t

An amusing extract from a Belgian
paper gives the following incident:
A woman whose husband had lost
his life in a railway accident received
from the company 10000 francs by
way of compensation. Shortly after
she heard that traveller who had lost
a leg had been paid 10000 francs.
The widow at once put ON her bonnet
and shawl and went to the office of the
company.
Gentlemen, how is thisT she asked.
you give 10000 francs for leg, and
you allowed me only 10000 francs for

is plain. Twenty thousand francs
won't provide him with leg, but for
ten thousand you can get a husband. /"
