Spain's Migratory Sheep.

There are about 100000 migra tory
sheep in Spain, which each year travel
as much as POO miles from the plains to
the mountains. TLey are known as
transhumantes, and their march, rest
ing places and behavior are governed
by special regulations, dating from the
fourteenth century. At certain times
no one may travel the same route as
the sheep, which have the right to
craze on all open and common land on
the way. For this purpose road nine
ty yards wide must be left on all in
closed and private property. The shep-
herds lead their flOcks, which follow
after and around. The flocks are ac-
companied by provision mules and by
large dogs to guard against wolves.
The merino sheep travel 400 miles to
the mountains, and the total time spent
on the migration there and back is
fourteen weeks.

Bribery In Elections.

Bribery in elections is an ancient If
not an honorable custom. This is shown
in the case Of Shrewsbury, England.
An extract from Parry's "Parliaments
and Councils of England" of case of
bribery, with it's punishment, in 1871
shows how long the pernicious custom
has been in practice: Thomas Long, a
very simple man and unfit to serve, is
questioned how he came to be elected.
He confesses that he gave the mayor
Of Westbury and another IA for his
place. They are ordered to repay this
sum, and fine of EGO is to be assessed
On the corporation and inhabitants of
Westbury for their scandalous at
tempt" One can imagine the indigna-
ton of those inhabitants Of Shrews-
bury who received no bride having to
pay fine for those who did.

One of Mrs Grants favorite stories
was Of an experience in camp some

husband, then president for the first
term, wanted to get away from Wash

bothered about the washing. A guide
recommended a woman who had seen
better days, who lived little way
down the lake. Mrs. Grant engaged
her. Two days afterward she saw a
scene that, as she expressed it, re-
minded her of elaine" 1t was her
washerwoman padding in dugout be-
hind heap Of snowy linen.

The Candle Fish.

One Of the piScatorial curiosities Of
the north Pacific coast, especially plen-
tiful along the shores of British Column
bia, is the fish known to Indians, whites
and half breeds as the candle fish"
To the scientists he is the eulachOn
Thaleichthys paciticus), and is highly
esteemed for two reasons. The fish it.
self is about fourteen inches long, re-
sembles the smelt in general appear
ances and is caught in large quantities
by west coast fishermen during the
months of February, March and April.
1t is the latest Of all fishes, for which
reason large numbers of item are
dried and smoked to be used as a warm
ing food during the long rigorous win
tiers so common in that region.
Large numbers Of them are also run
through crude presses, which extract
the oil. This is preserved in skin bags
and used much in the same manner as
whales blubber is used by the Eski-
mos. This candle fish" gets it's COM
mon name from the fact that when
dried it burns with a bright white
fame until entirely consumed. 1t is
much used by the coasters" both Of
Columbia and Alaska, either with or
without wick passed through its
body.

The Cat and the DOughnuts.

This is a true story, says writer,
that my grandmother told me about
her cat and dog She used to find the
cover off her doughnut jar, and also no.
ticed that her doughnuts disappeared.
One day she heard noise and found
that the cat was on the shelf where the
doughnuts were kept. Then it put its
paw in the jar and drew out dough
nut and pushed it off the shelf, and the
dog, who was looking up at the cat,
caught the doughnut in his mouth and
ate it. When they found they were
caught. they acted very guiltily.

author describes Calico's feelings as
follows:
All, that grand entry! That vas
something to liy>. f.sc. No mattri how
bad the roads or low hard tbs hills
had been, Calico forgot it Gil Uur4MS
those ten delightful minutes When with
LIS heart beating time to the rNt-.Gt-tat
of the snare drum, he swung prancng-
~ around the yellow arena.
1t all began in the dressing tent with
a period of confusion in which horses
were crowded together as thick as they
could stand, while the riders dressed
and mounted in frantic haste, for to be
late meant to be fined. At last the ring
master clapped his hands as sign that
all was in readiness. There was mo-
mentary hush. Then a bugle sounded,
the flaps were thrown back, and to the
crashing accompaniment of the band
the seemingly chaotic mass unfolded
into double line as the horses broke
into a sharp gallop around the freshly
dug ring.
The first time Calico did the grand
entry he felt as though he had been
sucked into whirlpool and was being
carried around by some Irresistible
force. So daZed was he by the music,
by the hum of human voices and by
the unfamiliar sights that he forgot
to rear and kick. He could only prance
and snort He went forward because
the rider of the outside horse dragged
him along by the bride rein. Around
and around he circled until lie lest all
sense of direction, and when he was
finally shunted out through the dress
ing tent flaps he was so dizzy he could
scarcely stand.

WHY Frenchmen Are Small.

It is said that the under size of the
French and their physical shortcom-
ings as nation are due for the most
part to the heavy drain made upon the
race by Napoleon. All the ablebodied
men were enrolled in his service, leav-
ing none at domestic or business pur-
suits except the extremely youthful or
the aged. From this drainage of the
blood and destruction Of the sinew of
the race France has not yet recovered.
