BREEDING OF MUTTON SHEEP.

J. d. c., Illinois, says farmers and
sheep breeders cannot produce an ami
NAL OF the breeders ideal type and still
retain the vigorous constitution neces-
sary In a healthy breeding animal. He
continues:
I'm our fiocks we must have head
and neck. brisket, shank and side meat
I'm order to get that strong constitution
that Is necessary for the animal to pos
sess for the development Of the more
expensive cuts Of the butchers ideal,
and In order to bring the breeder and
the consumer nearer one ideal Ii Is
necessary for us as breeders TO see that
our mutton sheep come as near the
butchers idea as is consistent without
impairing the constitution of our
breeding fiocks.
'In order TO obtain these results we
must see hat our mutton sheep possess
straight backs and under line, with
the ribs well sprung and a broad, thick
loin, with full round quarters.
"As a rule a sheep possessing these
points you Will generally find evenly
covered with flesh or muscle from crop
to tail. A sheep that is unetenly COW
cred with besh or is lumpy along the
back there always has a weakness OF
the muscles.
Therefore, we must educate our
selves To see that our mutton sheep
possess the evenly covered backs OF
muscle or flesh, and having that 'sensi-
tive touch known to all good judges,
with full. round quarters, thus endeav-
Oring to get as much OF the higher
priced cuts as possible without impair
Ing In any way the constitution OF our
breeding Jocks"

Mariana. Pa. Dec. 5.-From the lips
of Fred Elinger, the sole survivor or
the explosion in the model mine here
Saturday. when 1876 persons were killed,
there was told the first story of the
awful disaster in the underground
workings which experts had pro-
nounced the most perfectly s~afeguarded
plant in the world.
At the emoria hospital in Monon-
gahela Elinger told this story.
Il was employed at h Mariana
mine as a brick mason and, with IL
other masons entered the mine at CAS-
pollock Saturday morning.
When the explosion happened after
il o'clock Saturday forenoon. l did not
see the beginning of it and for that
reaso l cannot assign "A cause, as |
and the others We're at work near the
Rachel shaft. furthest emoved from
where the explosion is supposed to
have happened.
Il did hear, however. a kissing sound
and, instinctively, concluded that some
thing was wrong. This was the burn
ing OF the gas preceding the report OF
the explosion. Immediately | ducked,
buried my face and head in the dirt
and mud and then pulled my coat over
my hes The explosion came along.
1T struck me and threw me with ter
rifle force against n OF the mine
walls. For about 10 minutes l was I'M
able to move.
Il never actually lost consciousness,
although / was badly stunned, but ]
was unable to move. Every part of my
body ached. AS hour after hour passed.
i heard my comrades grooming all
around me, but gradually the grooming
grew less and less, and j knew that
they were all dead.
II was in the mine for about IL hours
after the explosion, and was ultimately
rescued by Fire Boss VIM. Underwood.
When he found me | could not
speak, only groan. He caught me in
his arms, hurried with me from under
ground, and, On reaching the surface,
took me at nee to his home, just close
to the shaft, where | was revived. The
doctors tell me | am going to get bet

bloodshed, and the presence OF the

BRIDE PROVES WOMAN
CAN KEEP SECRET

New York. Dec. 5.-Miss Edythe
Forbes, the pretty and accomplished
daughter of Professor Charles Forbes.
OF the department OF physics, Column
bia university, has shattered that old
tradition about the inability Of a wom-
an to refrain from babbling, by keep
ing a secret for two years the fact
that during hat period she has had
the exclusive right to the name OF Mrs.
John Howard Surge.
The announcement that has just
reached the numerous friends of the
young couple was the first intimation,
outside OF the immediate family circle,
that they a answered the customary
inquiries Of the parson at Yonkers on
October q, 1906.
Back OF the desire for secrecy is as
charming a romance as ever found it's
way into the prosaic columns of a
newspaper. Mrs. Surge is 20 years
old; her husband is one year her senior.
He is a fine looking chap and member
of one Of the best families in Rochester.
Professor Forbes was connected with
the school in that city before taking up
his work on Morningside Heights, and
il was in this way that the two CHANGED
to meet.
Early in their acquaintance young
Surge was sen away to Cornell. while
his sweetheart was studying in the
Mechanics institute at Rochester.
There was considerable distance be-
tween them, but the mai men In both
Ithaca and Rochester are particularly
careful about Cupid's consignments.
The pair had plighted their troth al
most at the very outset and were de-
iermined to wait until school duties no
;onger claimed their attention before
embarking on the matrimonial sea.
But each grew tired OF writing let
ters and when young Surge urged that
they settle the thing and end all the
anxiety of late deliveries and short
holidays by making sure of each other,
Miss Forbes aid she was willing.
They journeyed to this city and from
1lere they made their way to Yonkers,
Yher they were married on the date
hove mentioned.
