An Englishman of distinction max
ing his first visit in the United States
brought it to a close in Washington,
and called at the White House in COM
pany with an American friend. a pub
lie reception was in progress, and,
falling into line, he paid his respects
to the president first in that way, and
subsequently met him for few mo-
ments in private audience He
laughingly explained to the president
that being in America he wanted TO do
as the Americans did. AS they walked
away together, the American asked
the Englishman what had impressed
him most in our free government.
1.-The accessibility of the chief magis-
trate and the absence of all arms and
force from his official residence" was
tie Englishmans reply.

ENGLAND'S NEW SWORD.
Made to Thrust, Because the Old One
Would Not Cut.

That the rifle is mightier than the
sword is an uncontrovertible fact; but
that the sword will be finally sheathed
as an unusable weapon in modern war
is not true, despite the endeavor Of
the pen to prove the worthlessness OF
it. AS a shock weapon the sword
holds no place with the lance, but it's
hardness in pursuit is undeniable if
the sword be of the right kind. In
South Africa our weapons, made os.
tensibly to cut, were used by our
troopers to belabor fugitive Beers in
vain efforts to make a cut, and cess
that fiagellation would appear to be
the proper term to apply. Recogniz.
ing this, the war Office is going to
arm the hussars with new sword,
whose chief use will be to thrust. The
edge OF sword cannot be maintained
upon prolonged service, but General
Grant, the inspector general of cav.
airy, in recommending a new sword,
suggests the preservation of a Ger.
tain degree of sharpness by the use of
leather scabbards. The new sword
will be modelled on the pattern now in
use, which was introduced in 1899,
btl WIN NNi bdlIl lllDulutdllOlS, CON
forming with the Italian school. The
hilt will be broader, to give. freedom
to the thrust, and the point will taper
more, making the weight about a
pound less. The new sword will in
troduce more thoroughly the Floren.
tine system of fencing, to which the
inspector of gymnastics, Colonel Nal.
colin Fox, has for so many years pin.
ned his faith and whose value It's
chief eXponents, Captain Edgeworth
Johnstone, Sergeant Major Belts and
ex-Staff Sergeant Forester, have SC
often demonstrated in open competi
tion. SWordmakers believe in tbs
thrustng weapon, provided it is heavy
enough to meet the rough usage OF
a campaisn. THIS Is just what the
new sword will he-an unbreakable
rapier of the broad Kind.

Barbaric African tribes hold the UNI
brella in high honor. In King Coffee
of Ashanti's reign the greatest mark of
regal favor that could be conferred
on a distinguished guest was the gift
OF sunshade adorned in savage style
with the teeth of animals, the claws
of birds, human jawbones and rough
Jumps of gold. The medicine men of
these African tribes are invariably at
tended by an umbrella bearer.
Slot machines providing meals have
been introduced in London. The re-
fTeshmentS are arranged on long buf
fet behind a glass screen. On putting
four pennies one after another into the
slot the screen rises and tray hold
ing teapot, milk jug, sugar bowl and
cup ana saucer comes within reach.
The teapot contains tea leaves and hot
water can be drawn from public
tank. Two pennies produce roll with
butter, or sandwiches, or bath buns,
and other slots yield temperance drinks
and confectionery.
Speaking of curious Wills" said a
| Georgian, 'the will of Col. w. H.

one of the best known families in our

| had played and which he had been
taught to love as child and later as
a man, should, in the language of the
document, have entire possession of
itself and of all land within eight feet
OF it on all sides No one ever con-
| tested his will, and the oak still stands
as its own owner"
| Exploration has now revealed relics
OF Menes, the founder of the Egyptian
monarchy, fashioned more than $500

Menes, it is astonishing to find the
forearm of his queen still in its wrap

tact. This brilliant and exquisitely
finished group Of jewelry is 1000 years
older than the jewelry of Dahshur, the
| oldest up to then known. The arm of
| the queen had beon broken off by the
| first plunderers and had lain in hole
in the wall of the tomb.

An Island Sheep Ranch.

Frank Sibley of Boston, who has
bought nearly half of Long Island in
Bluehill bay, where he is having huge
stable built with the intention Of estab-
fishing a sheep ranch, has arrived at
the island, and it is said the farm will
be stocked this summer The barn is
nearly completed and is a huge affair,
well adapted to housing sheep and car
ing for them. The land, of which there
are many acres, has been inclosed with
in wire fence, preparatory to the com
ing of the flock. The land will furnish
excellent pasturage and will make an
ideal sheep farm, with its brooks for
supplying water. While some of the
sheep will be gotten hereabouts, it is
the intention to import many of rare
breed. Mr.. Sibley is enthusiastic over
Bluehill bay and its vicinity, and during
the summer passes most of his time
there. He is spending considerable
money in improving his extensive prop
erty, including the building of minia-
ture ponds and stocking with fish for
private fishing grounds for the enter
tainment of his friends. Ellsworth

four or five of the fleet will sail be-

they will be called upon to transport at

ANGORA GOATS.
IhtN Clear the EushN Pasture


For Il number of months more or less
| Augora goat literature has been in cir
| cuiation. The national government has
issued a bulletin on the subject and in
| terested parties have been working ul
blooms on the subject. SO much has
been said and so emphatically said
! that the talk has created dis1ayor N
some minds because it seemed to SAVIOR
of creating an artificial boom of some
new fad for the purpose of working off
some expensive novelty at exaggerated
prices ON the farmers. For this reason
the Farmer" and Homes have pre-
served their usual conservatism as re-
CARDS novelties. We do not wish to
be responsible for leading the farmers
astray ii we can avoid it.
But it is unquestionably true that
many strong claims have been made for
the Angora goats: one of the most i'm
portant is the fact that they are said to
be superior to sheep for keeping down
the bushes in pastures and renovating
these valuable adjuncts to dairy hus-
bandry.
Mr.. Geo. H. Ellis of Newton, whose
level-headed dairy work has frequently
been alluded to in these columns, has
been reading and thinking on this goat
subject for months. He has found on
his Barre farm pastures whose useful
ness i'll furnishing feed for his cattle
was sadly impaired by the inroads of
bushes. The question was how to i'm
prove the pastures IN a business like
way, with a maximum of result and a
minimum of expense. Consequently
he resolved to try an Angora goat eX-
pertinent on careful, conservative
plan There are no fads about Mr..
Ellis: he has not gone into the goat
business for any motives of rad, fash
ION. or fun: but for the purely business
proposition of improving his pastures.
incidentally his work VIII be of great
help to New England agriculture for he
is exceedingly open and generous with
the results Of all his work. and before
long any farmer can learn the results of
, this experiment Of Mr. Ellis and know
whether or not to invest in goats
Mr.. Ellis has bought % goats and
placed them on his Barre farm Last
week kids arrived, there being some
losses as the does had recently been
transported long distance i'll the cars
Angora goats need more careful
fencing than sheep and Mr.. Ellis an
ticipates that possibly this may be an
objection to them. They do not jump
like sheep but will climb a stone wall
like cat. Consequently Mr. Ellis will
put Page wire fence is inches wide, on
the top of the walls where his expert
ments are being made.
The goats prefer buds and leaves of
bushes to grass and are said to thrive
on poison ivy and other noxions
growths, which are soon exterminated
by the goats.
The bucks are more docile than the
bucks of the sheep family and are per-
fectly hardy.
