Fishermen's Luck.

Hugh Wagner, John kaw and Cyrus
Brown, who went down to the N-Bar
ranch last Sunday on a fishing expe-
dition, returned Thursday sadder but
wiser men. The storm struck them
before they had got far from this city,
but they determinedly held on and
reached their destination all right.
The weather kept them in the house
all but Wednesday afternoon, when
they got out and managed to hook
about a dozen trout. They took the
first opportunity that presented itself
to come home, and wen then suffered
considerably from the cold. Although
they did not get many fish they had a
pleasant time. with the exception Of
the going and coming. They report
that the big N-Bar outfit was making
every effort to save their lambs from
the storm and had kept the losses
down TO ten per cent, which. consid.
ering the large number they had TO
look after, is doing remarkably well.

little old wool available and the grow.

the course of the markets abroad. es.
pecially OF the London sales. which,
by the way, close on Friday of this
week, has been and is steadily upward.
especially. on the crossbred varieties,
which tends to accentuate the firmness
of holders In the interior. Some of
the local wool merchants talk in a
disparaging way regarding the future
of the wool market, and yet these
very persons are among those who
have paid the highest prices for the
new woods In the country. The market
must advance very materially at the
seaboard before they will be able to
unload their woods except at a loss.
Wyoming woods are selling up as high
as lac at Casper and Rawlins and
some woods are held at higher prices.
The owner of one big clip of wool
says that he will not sell 1t for less
than 14kc. On the other hand, some
woods have been sold in Wyoming at
11hc, 12c and 12hc, and good aver-
age woods in Wyoming may be quoted
at lie to 1870, which is onehalf to
one cent above last year. The early
shorn Nevada woods are practically
all gone.
Territory woods are quieter. A few
stable lines have been moved. but
the business has been mostly of a
piecing out character, possessing no
special significance. The business OF
the week has been made up largely
of several small sales put through on
the basis of 47c to 4Sc; for fine medi-
UNI clothing SOC to SIC; for fine and
fine medium staple, SIC, and perhaps
a little more for strictly fine Montana
or Nevada. Medium Montana has
sold within the range of 4ic to Acc.
Prices have ruled steady to firm.
Brokers are around looking for soft
spots or bargains, but they do not
succeed in finding many. A few new
Arizonas have been selling. The woods
are Of lighter shrinkage than last year
and are worth 17c to 1Sc for the very
best of them. The Idaho woods are
reported to be in unusually poor condi-
ton, owing to the severe winter, and
a number of the clips which have
been contracted for an examination
have been rejected. Sales in Idaho
are reported at lac and in Utah at the
same price, the average price being
13kc, as against 12c last year. The
wool raisers in Utah are said to have
lost heavily in their fiocks. on ac-
count of their falling of in the size
of the clip.

MASSAGE BY THE BLIND.
London Institution to Open New Oc-
cuDation for Which They Are
Peculiarly Adapted.

There Is to be very new field of
work opened for the blind by the Lon
don Institute for Massage by the Blind,
which is about to be started under COM
mittee that includes many representa-
tive medical men. 1t is not an expert
ment. It has proved that the blind can
become expert in the practice of mas
sage, which in Japan is commonly rec
ognized as their work. reports the Phil
adelphia Press. The occupations open
to the blind are few and rarely remuner-
ative. The difficulty is one of the gravest
obstacles to the improvement Of the
condition of this afflicted class. There
are already several blind masseurs in
that country. Some e 500 Is needed, and
central rooms are then to be secured
under a hospital matron. Blind stu
dents must obtain frst-class medical GER
tiicates in an art which is daily more
used, especially by surgeons in sprains
and bruises, and masseuses will be al
lowed to treat only women and children
and masseurs only men. The whole
scheme needs only to be mentioned to be
approved. 1t is also worthy of note that
the blind are usually endowed with a
sense Of touch exceptionally fine, SO
that here, and perhaps here alone, Is a
field in which they may surpass their
seeing brothers, massage being depend
ent for its success upon the nicely Of
its application, dependent in its turn on
the nicely of the operators tactile sense.

cHEEsEs OF ALL COUNTRIES.
Some Familiar Kinds That Have Be-
come Well Liked in the
United States.

Each country has it's favorite cheese.
The Swiss make the gruyere cheese. It
is made of goats milk, and Is full Of
holes, caused by the gases in fermsnta-
tion The typical English cheese is the
cheddar, first made in the English town
after which it is named.
Brie Is a popular French soft cheese;
and camembert, originating in Nor
mandy, is another. These cheeses are
cured in caves, where the temperature
never rises above II TO IA degrees.
Roquefort, a celebrated French
cheese, is made from the mingled milk
of goats and sheep that browse on the
thyme-clad banks of the Arno. These
cheeses are also ripened in caves, but
the temperature is kept at 40 degrees.
Akin to the roquefort cheese is that
called gorgonzola, made in Italy after
similar processes. 1t is milder than
roquefort, and not quite so good; but
| it sold much cheaper. Another Italian
| cheese, the parmesan, is very hard, and
is usually grated.
Limburger cheese, so beloved by the
| Germans, originated in Belgium. It is
extraordinarily rich, being allowed to
ripen by putrefaction, hence its hor-
rifying odor to unaccustomed nostrils.
Some persons have saying: "Gor-
gof1ola is cheese to swear by, lin
| burger to swear att"

FRACTION OF LIME LOST.
Search for Missing Sixteenth
of q Second.

A sixteenth of second is missing,
and despite the work of scores of learned
scientists no one can tell where it has
gone.
| A search for this minute fraction Of
time that Is costing hundreds Of thou
sands Of dollars is under way, and it
will be continued till the lost is found,
for its recovery is of worldwide i'm
portance, states the New York World.
If one grain of sand on the shore Of
the ocean were lost and scientists were
to spend years in trying to find it, their
search would seem to be little more
hopeless and unimportant than this
task, upon which the leading astron-
omers of England and France are now
working.
The sixteenth of a second is missing
between the suns time as recorded at
Greenwich and as understood in Paris.
The failure to discover the discrepancy
in observations may change the nation
atty of thousands Of people.
Longitude is calculated on the basis
of Greenwich time The boundaries of
countries are determined by the cal
culations at this famous observatory.
If the Paris calculations and not the
Greenwich observations are found cor
rect, boundaries may be moved miles.
No expense is being spared to trace
the missing fraction. A special build
ing has been erected at Paris, costly in
struments installed, corps of skilled
mathematicians engaged and a process
that may take years to complete has
been commenced
