MARITIME SHEEP RANCHES.
Use to Which the Rocky Is1ands OF
Maine CoaAt Are Put.

Use to Which the Rocky Islands OF
Maine Coazt Are, Put.
When an island of the Maine coast
is good for nothing else it is turned
into a maritime sheep hiahath, and much
money is made in that way, nen from
other States having invested large
sums In the purchase of islands and
stock. The sheep are turned loose and
left to get a living as best they. can.
The islands appear barren, but the
sheep get along very well, and are in
variably fat when their owners come
with boats to take them Off for slaugh-
ter in the fall. On some of the islands
there is NO water whatever, but the
sheep get what moisture they need
from the heavy dews, and where grass
is scrubby and scarce the animals cul.
tivate a fondness for various kinds of
seaweeds, which diet Is said to give an
excellent flavor to the mutton.
A few years ago much complaint was
made by well meaning but poorly in
formed persons of the supposed cruel
ty of leaving sheep to take care of
themselves, without shelter, on these
barren, wind-swept isles, but it has
been demonstrated that the sheep suf-
fer no hardship whatever or they would
not thrive as they do. 1t is related by
one man who had several hundreds of
sheep or Metinic island that he built,
at considerable expense, a warm shell
ter foy,tAem,, because his wife was con-
stantlX- expressing the fear that the
poor sheep would freeze to death on
cold nights. The kindly sheep breeder
found that not a single one of the anil
mails had taken advantage Of the shell
ter provided'in One of the coolest win
ters that ever blew on the coast of
Maine. Sheep will. huddle together
where they like and canno be induced
to go into the sheds built for them on
several of the islands.
In the fall, says the New York Trib-
une, the island ranchers go off In do
ries and bring some of the latest of
the sheep ashore to market, tying their
legs together and tossing them into the
boats like SO many bundles, and at the
same time new stock Is carried to the
islands. In the spring a trip Is made
to get the lambs and the stock Is again
replenished. The expense of sheep
raising On the islands is small and the
profits are correspondingly large

THEY DETECTED THE ODOR.
Bottle Contained Nothing But Distilled
Waters Imagination Did the Rest.

Two bright young men attended a
lecture in the city a few days past,
the lecturers subject being one dealing
with the rather occult features of the
mind as exemplifiedin physical phe-
nomena After giving several demon
strations of how fraud might be prac-
ticed in such matters, the speaker stat
ed that he had in his possession a
small bottle containing a chemical
agent of wonderful properties.
This bottle, he said, he would uncork
and use as a test of the sensitiveness of
the audience to telepathic impressions.
The test consisted in being able to de-
tect the odor of the chemical, which
was liquid. Those who could detect the
odor were sensitives, and those who
could not were, to borrow the language
of Shakespeare, fit for treason, STRAIT
agems and spoils.
1t was at this point that the two
young men, or one of them, made good.
He began to smell Immediately, and
RECALLED his companion with sundry rib
jabs and remarks on the strength of
the odor about.
But his friend was from missouri"
and had to be shown. His olfactory
nerves responded to nc sensation. Ac-
cording to the terms of the lecturers
request those who smelled held I'D their
hands.
After a number of hands had been
raised the bottle was recorked, but this
man was so very sensitive that he could
even then detect the odor, and said so.
When, after a little further talk, the
speaker announced that the bottle con-
tanned nothing but distilled water, the
young man lowered his head as well as
his hand, and was quiet. But even now
he is sensitive on the subject.-Mem-

Descendant of Joan OF Arc.

Joan Of Arc has suffered many
things at the hands of the historian.
There are those who would say that
she escaped the scaffold and lived and
died and raised up children. A lady,
the widow of General Cuny, has just
died at Cheybourg, and she Is declared
to be a descendant of the actual fam
lily of ia Pucelle." Her maiden name
was, certainly, Milcion dare, reports
the Pail Mall Gazette.
Nine. Cuny never pretended that
the maid had been married, but al
ways said that she was descended
heroine. This Pierre was an interest
ing parsonage, ennobled by Charles
VII, and the question of his descend
ants has much occupied genealogists.
1t seems, however, proved that the line
was extinct in 1901; therefore this
good ladywas not descended either
from Joan or her brother. but from
some branch of the family. Still, no
doubt, the heroine will continue to
stand ancestor to a considerable por-
ton Of the population.

the surface of Crusts and scales, and soften the thiCkened cutcle. Dry,
without hard rubbing, and apply Cuicura Ointment freely, to anay itching
irritation, and inflammation, and soothe and heal, and, lastly, take Cuti-
cura Resolvent to cool and cleanse the blood. This complete treatment
affords instant relief, permits rest and sleep in the severest forms of
eczema and other itching, burning, and scaly humours of the skin, scalp
