A Result of lizard Times

| The souvenir habit has been the cause
of much vandalism It's victims are
mild kleptomaniacs. Many host has
been ehagrined TO discover that valua-
bles had disappeared after elaborate
functions to serve as souvenirs Of the
happy occasions, Recently it was stated
that the hotel keepers of London were
particularly annoyed by the piIfcring of
the souvenir tend. and there was pre-
sumahly some ground for the statement.
but IL seems that owing 10 the existence
of hard times the honifaces Of the
worlds metropolis would prefer entering
to the souvenir hunter 20 losing his pa
tfon0ge. They have therefore assumed a
position Of defense for the travellers who

10 various localities, and made 1t known
| that they are welcome 50 long rs they
pay their bills which win presumably
be large enough to cover the cost of the
articles which disappear from tables
and rooms. One hotel proprietor is
quoted as saying

year Just sporting proposition We
would be willing to lay In big supply OF

Other hotel proprietors yudicate. the
American souvenir hunter, one of them
saying that the Americans have not thc
deft sense Of touch of cross-C hannel pat
rons, another declaring that the souvenir
habit has subsidized among American tray-
elers, aud thai the London hotel man
now has 49, just complaint to make
against them
From reports which have thus far been
received from the localities along the
route Of tourist travel the SEASON is

GIVING The sHREp A BATH.
An Incident of Farm Routine Which the
Participants Find Enjoyable.

This is the time of year when the
sheep get their annual bath. 1t may be
that all sheep the world over don't get a
spring washing. but the practice obtains
generally ON the farms in this country
and Canada
The bath is entirely involuntary, and
1t may be asserted as the result of OBJ
servatlon that the sheep don't like it.
But although it is hard work to wash
sheep those whose duty it is TO do it find
the task pleasant one, while onlookers
find il amusing.
Sheep washing precedes shearing. The
farmer will tell You that il Improves the
quality of the wool to give it n thorough
washing and let il dry on the Sleeps
back before shearing. AT any rate it
makes it easier for the shearer.
Poets have sung of the picture made
by sheep clad in virgin white dotting the
landscapes verdant green. This may be
all right in the summer time, but in the
spring the sheep after their partial con-
hnement of the winter present a decid
eddy bedraggled appearance. Beyond the
slightest doubt they need d bath.
The day of the washing is fixed, one
of the first warm days of April. Pens
have been built beside the river at a
point where the water runs fairly deep.
say about waist high. The sheep are
driven into the pens an easy job if
you We got 4 SoOu uog.
The men who are TO do the washing
wade into the river and a sheep is passed
in to each one. No sheep goes willing
ly, but an active boy and still more
active dog are wonderfully good per-
suaders. and in due time each sheep is
forced into the water. The sheep floats
easily, buoyed up by its woolly coat,
AS soon as a sheep is thoroughly
tubbed it is passed into the other pen or
into shed directly, if there is one
handy for care must be taken that the
wet wool dries clean and the flock must
be carefully guarded for the shearers on
the morrow.
Shearing sheep is delicate opera
tion--that is if il is carried out with due
regard to the feelings of the sheep The
operStors use big. clumsy shears, and
the wonder is how they are able To clip
the wool SO close To the body and nip
its unfortunate grower as little rs
they do

Get Out OF Doors.

Now that the days are longer and
the smile of the sun is broader. and the
buds have begun to sing, we health-
seeking mortals lightly turn to thoughts
of the open-air life. Some of us have
never turned away from it all through
the winter.
To sleep out of doors in the garden.
or on the roof or veranda, is not now
regarded as a crank idea, for far too
many admittedly sensible people do it
nowadays. But though Blossoms 6rm
and bold shrink not from the cold, it
is in the spring and summer time that
you really ought to begin to live the
outdoor life, and thus get INJURED to 1t
before the winter comes along. TITS
those who sleep on their lawn upder
canvas all the year round commence
TO do SO in the milder weather.
Fresh air is so very precious, so vufu-
able a factor in the preservation of
health, that not one of us can afford TO
lose a single Whit of it. How many
have kept their bedroom windows open
all the winter? Those who have not
done so ought certainly to begin now.
