c%ULLlBILITY OF SHEEP.
Eve That Has Lost Her Lamb Will
Unhesitatingly Take to Strange
Young One.

The utter stupidity of sheep is per-
haps nowhere more strongly evidenced
than in the perfect satisfaction with
which a eve that has lost her lamb
will take to a strange lamb, around
which has been fastened the skin of
her dead offspring.
Considering that the skin of the
dead lamb is often merely thrown
loosely ove the back of the living
lamb, sometimes hanging almost to
the ground on n side or the other,
and making the lamb appear the
quaintest kind of animal imaginable,
the ewes %gullibility in this respect is
remarkable. There can be no other
explanation of her satisfaction than
that she really thinks the muffied little
stranger is her own progeny, other
wise she would give it no attention
whatever.
Its appearance does not seem to
count, nor even it's voice. Its smell
is something, which may be seen in
any flock of ewes and lambs, for while
the mothers certainly appear. to know
the bleating of their own children,
the Identification is always completed
by the eve shifting the coat of her
lamb.
l have been looking at two such
quaint families in the Landing pens.
says a writer in the London Express,
and the picture of a sedate W. placid
ly attending to the two weird little
creatures which look as if they have
been half-fiayed was the most comical
study of animal stupidity which could
be imagined.

FLooGED AUTOMATICALLY.
New Machine Adopted in the Russian
Army for Use on Unruly
Soldiers.

The spanking machine has been used
in farce comedy as a mirth provoker,
but the flogging machine now adopted in
the Russian army is a more complicated
and serious affair, states the New York
Herald.
The whipping has always been done
by other soldiers under the command
of an officer, and the punishment has
varied according to the feeling of the
soldier toNard his victim.
The new machine is automatic in its
action, and as soon as the culprit is
fastened in position a spring is tight
ened or loosened to gauge the exact
force of the blow. A pointer is moved
over a dial to the requisite number Of
strokes and the mechanism is started.
With perfect regularity the victims
back is scourged by the throngs, the
handle of the whip being moved by a
screw device after each stroke so that
the lash does not fall upon the same
spot throughout the punishment.
Each blow is of uniform severity and
as soon as the required number have
been given the machine comes to rest
and the offender is released, with the
assurance that the exact punishment
ordered has been melted out to him.

PROVINCES OF VAST EXTENT
Alberta and Saskatchewan About to
Be Organized by the Dominion
Of Canada.

F. A. Lawrence said in a recent
speech in the dominion house of COM
mons:
I'VE are informed that each of these
provinces will comprise no less an area
than 275, 600 square miles. The mind OF
man almost fails to grasp the signifi-
canoe, the vastness, the greatness OF
the figures. We can only family do so
by comparison. and l may be permitted
to say that each of these provinces, will
be nearly six times as large as the great
state of New York, with its population
OF 1880, 000;; each of them will be five
times as great in point of area as the
large state OF Illinois, with it's popula-
ton of 5000, 900; each will be six times
as large as the large state ST Pennsyl-
vania, with a population of $500 600;
each of them will be seven times as
large as the state Of Indiana, with its
population of 100000.
In point of fact, each of them is
larger in area than the states OF Massa-
chusetts, New York, Illinois, Iowa,
Maine, Michigan, Delaware and New
Jersey all combined together. Each OF
them is twice as large as England,
Wales, Scotland and Ireland, with their
immense population of $4,000, 600 peo-
pie; each of them is much greater than
the German empire in Europe, with its
population of 55, 750, 900; each of them
is much greater than the republic Of
France in Europe, with its population of
$4,000, 0O0. H.
by a simple comparison of that kind
we are enabled to realize the immensely
of the heritage which we as Canadians
have in our great northwest"

Comical Comments of Youthful Wis

The aquarium is an unfailing source

small boy, as he gazed at a soft shell
clam lying on the bottom of a tank,
with it's neck extended from its shell
to the length of five or six inches.
A father and his very youthful son
were looking in at the tank of COW
fishes, those very curious fishes that
have projecting from the top of the
head two spines shaped like horns,
while the profile of this fsh's head
helps the resemblance and gives to 1t,
with the horns atop, the name of COW

NOT TO HANG TODAY
Mrs. Rogers, Condemned For
Murder, Gets Reprieve.
STAY is GRANTED UNTIL DEC. 5.
BrattIeboro Prisoner Saved by 81
Process ON Eve of
Court Grants Time For APP
peal to Supreme Court.

BRATTLEBORO,. VT, June 23.-A
reprieve until Dec. 8 next for Mrs.
Mary NJ. Rogers, the condemned u
deress, has been signed by Governor
Charles ]. Bell, and for the third time
the woman who was to have been
hanged at Windsor today for killing
her husband has been saved through
the operation Of the governors power
of staying the execution.
The present reprieve was granted in
order that the case may be carried to
the supreme court of the United States
on constitutional questions which We're
raised at a hearing before Judge Hoyt
United States circuit court. Mrs. Rog-
ers' attorneys petitioned for her re-
lease on a writ of habeas corpus.
The court declined to grant the petit
ton, but suggested that the points of
law raised by the petitioner were such
as to be passed upon by the supreme
court Of the country. The refusal of
the judge to grant the writ was at once
followed by the fling of an appeal.
Judge Wheeler %thereupon announced
that he would render his decision upon
the question of appeal Immediately in
order to give Governor Bell an oppor-
tunity to reprieve Mrs. Rogers.
He therefore gave the attorneys to
understand that he would grant the
appeal and intimated that he would
remand Mrs. Rogers to the custody of
the United States marshal, which
would in effect bring about her execu-
ton provided Governor Bell did not
sign a %reprieye.
Later Judge Wheeler received a tele-
graphic message from Governor Bell
announcing that Mrs. Rogers had been
reprieved. The judge at once signed
the paper which gave Mrs. Rogers the
legal right to have her case heard by
the supreme court of the United States.
Sheriff Peck went to the state prison
at Windsor this morning and read the
reprieve to Mrs. Rogers.
The scaffold, which had been prepar-
ed for the execution for some time,
was taken down today.
After signing the reprieve Governor
Bell in an interview said: ''There is
nothing more to be said now. You
know we all have to change our
minds"

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

Golfers for June "a editorially
says;
The season has arrived when thous-
,apds Of human bodies are packed on
floating firetraps, and taken, for a
consideration, hither and yon, to en-
JOY temporary r~efreshment on the
water. Most of them, happily perhaps,
will be undashed by memories of the
Slocum. Probably the management of
not one steamer in the whole blessed
domain has been changed radically on
account of the casual investigation un-
dertaken after the Slocum horror.
The foundation truth is that the peo-
pie don't care enough about the risks
they run to.make the authorities seri-
GUS in their control. Steamboat
owners can make more money by
packing warns of passengers on the
paddle boxes, by making life preser-
vers out of any metal that happens to
be accessible and cheap, and by divid-
ing a little with the government in
spectors. These inspectors thus are
able to provide greater comforts for
their homes, the owners swell the
number of the prosperous, the public
crowds the steamers to the sinking
point, and everybody is happy. Why,
therefore, do we complain? Perhaps
it is perverse, but the sight OF SO
many thousands of children and wo-
men put in danger of fatal accidents
by fire or wreck does not leave us as
comfortable as no doubt we ought to
feel. We can no help wishing that a
horrible and entirely unnecessary
slaughter produced some little altera-
tion in the system by which money is
coined in violation of ordinary precau-
tions enioined by law.
