most people would be Mortified
to learn that the finest mutton in
the world comes from sheep fattened
on snails, Gays large breeder of
Southdowh sheep; nevertheless it,
is fact. In seasons when snails are
plentiful the mutton from our sheep,
has delicious flavor which it never
acquires from the most scientific form
of feeding, On the continent a diet
of snails is a regular cure for coz
sumption and is said to fatten and
nourish the body in a wonderful way
There is popular superstition, :"
he adds, shat the unique and deli7
cate favor of Sonthdown mutton is
due largely to the quantity of wild
thyme which they crop with the
grass in their pastures. But person

part of the credit for the soft, plump
flesh and the sweetness of flavor in
our celebrated sheep. So much in
their the case that the saying, Good
snail year, good sheep year. has
become almost a proverb among shep-

Remarks the Pittsburg Dispatch;
If church is to maintain a special
code of conduct for its members, it is
evident that frequent amendments
will be necessary in order to keep it
measurably abreast Of the times. For
instance, the Methodist discipline pro-
hibits attendance at horse races, but
naturally has nothing to say about
automobile races. New forms Of
amusement are constantly being in,
vented, and it would be necessary for
the church to pass promptly upon
their desirability.
