PLUCklNG SHEEP.
SieaTinS Process Not Used IN Shet,

SieaTInE Process Not Used IN Shet.
land On Pure Bred Animals.
The pure bred sheep in Shetland are
not shorn, but pluckcd The process
takes place generally in June, when
the fleece is ripe and the silky wool
can be pulled off without pain.
This is called roofing and is much
less damaging to the young fiber than
clipping with shears. The wool when
thus handled retains its peculiar soft
ness, so that any one Of experience can
tell whether the material of a knitted
article has been plucked or shorn. 1t
ripens first upon the neck and shou!-
ders, so that sheep half pulled resemble
in some sort a poodle that is clipped.
we must suppose that harsher han
ding prevailed at one time, for we read
that in 1916 the Scottish privy council
spoke of the custom as still kept up ''in
some remote and unciYil Places and
James I. wrote to tell them that it had
been put down in Ireland under penal.
ty Of fine Upon this they passed an
act on March II, 1916, deploring the
destruction of sheep thus caused and
imposing similar fines on those who
should persist in the practice.

Death Eran electric shock.

The ultimate cause Of death, when
due primarily to electric shock, is gen
orally considered to be stoppage Of
the action Of the hears Or Of the respir-
atory organs. That the latter may be
affected is shown by the fact that vic
tins Of electric shock are sometimes
brought to by practice Of some Of the
we'll known methods Of artificial res
piration. The cessation Of the hearts
action may be due to stimulation Of the
nerves which control the beating Of the
heart. These, when stimulated to ex-
cess, may cause the heart to stop alto
gether.-Archibald Wilson In CASTER S
Magazine.

years, been in the principal
vine growing countries of the
world. He has lived on ocean
and sea and river, on desert and
prairle and mountain: he has
been compelled to drink the vii
est water imaginable, but he has
never been where he thought
that the best wine OF other alco-
hoiic beverage was SO safe or so
desirable, in view Of what he saw
as the poorest water available to
him. This is so far as his per
sonal experience taught him.
AS to the experience of others
whom he knew or observed, the
evidence is in the same direction
as his own. AS to the peril in
departing from total abstinence:
he can say that in q large major
ity of cases his personal friends,
both boys and girls. who were
not cOntented to remain total aO-
stainers either died drunkards
or are living as such. He has
seen no fewer drunkardsin in wine
growing countries than in the
vicinity of breweries and distil-
cries. He mas found that 10
strength of will or earnestness
of religious profession or prac-
tice, would surely enable a per-
son to pursue a course of safe
moderation if he or she departed
from total abstinence. He has
seen so many men off exceptional
strength of will and character
yield to intemperance: he has
seen so many clergymen Of differ
ent denominations, and so many
lovely women follow in a similar
course, that he is afraid to depart
from the safe and desirable course
of total abstinence.
He thanks God that he has the
the privilege of being a total alb
stainer, and he knows that that
course is the only safe one for
him. He believes that that
course for any one, and there
fore he recommends it to ALL
Sunday School Times.

4 TIMELY SUGGESTION.

Our esteemed contemporary, tho
New Mexican, which Is never behind
hand in considering questions OF tor.
ritorial interest, discusses In Its last
Issue the approaching territorial 10.
publican convention which should lie
held next March for the purpose Of
selecting delegates to the national re.
publican convention. In commenting
On the place OF holding the conven-
ton, the New Mexican suggests that
Las Vegas would be acceptable TO .
vast majority Of the republicans Of
the territory.
The propriety OF the suggestion Is
clearly shown by q glance at the
record Of conventions OF the past few
years, that Of 1898 being held in Al.
buquerque. the two conventions Of
1900 went 10 Socorro and Santa Fe.
and that OF last year TO Ration. Las
Vegas. situated In the county OF Sal
Miguel. the stronghold Of the repub.
iican party. had had no convention
since 1896. almost eight years ago. In
the face Of this fact. the emincn'iy
fair suggestion Of the New Mexican
win doubtless be received with ap.
,sproval throughout the whole terri.
