From these extra large early and

after receiving a severe injury to his

man Of the court who regularly every
year lost one or more silk hats by
walking abroad on New Years day

solving to get even with his perse-
cut0rs. he had leather skullcap made,
studded with horseshoe nails that had
been carefully sharpened for the occa-
sion, and after adjusting his porcupine
headpiecc he sailed forth into the
street full Of confidence that the first
person that spoiled his hat would get
the worst. Of the encounter. Along
came the future emperor, with two or
three boon companions, and in a jiffy
the princely fist descended on the Of

dire, for two or three of the nails went
quite through the princes hand. which
was so badly torn that for awhile
there was fear he would lose it.-Phil-

A large number Of failures in sheep
husbandry are traceable to lack Of
knowledge Of how to handle domestic
animals. Some will give too much at
tention and others insufficient One is
productive Of as evil results as the
other. No animal loves natural condi-
lions more than sheep, and the closer
they can be maintained under such the
better. | knew of man who went
into the sheep business by purchasing
a few very high priced sheep. He had
no knowledge Of how to handle the
animals; consequently after they had
been in his possession a few months
he was disappointed because he was
unable to produce as good results as
the breeder from whom he had pur-
chased the stock. Instances Of this ma
ture are very common. 1t is not the
fault of the sheep, but Of the man, In
the larger majority Of instances.-Na-
