Care Of Sheep.

Great care should be taken to
have everything about the sheep
barns in proper shape for lambs.
1t is best that the feeding racks
should be movable so that the
floor can be kept even.
If the manure is allowed to
pile up and pack unevevly, the
ewes are liable to get cast.
Every eve should be put in a
place by herself until the lamb is
about eight days old.
Care should be taken that
there are no places where the
lamb can creep away from its
mother.
A young lamb will soon be-
come chilled if it gets away from
its dam, and often she will not
own it when it is put back.

The soil is Of three kinds.
First, l will consider the sand
soil, having a wild growth of
sedge-bush, and as I would have
once termed t sedge-grass.
Second, a mixed soil having a
growth of fine grass. The soil
being very nearly the same in
composition as that of the sandy
soil except it being darker and
heavier. Thirdly, a tight soil,
which is very dark and heavy.
l find but little tight land in this
vicinity. Where we find these
lands we generally find a d O G
town, which animals is some

the above named soils also have
a wild growth of bear grass and
mesquite, the latter which serves
as our wood and is a sub-ground
tree with very small brances
growing from the larger sub
ground branches and extending
out of the ground sometimes two
or three feet. The former l shall
leave undescribed, otherwise than
to say it is used or most general
ly used where it can be obtained

are all vine crops and crops of

a Great MMeter>L

There is one great mystery in Coos
universe somewhere flows fountain
Of life, where is one Of Gods secrets.
bow FAR its waters flow we cannot
tell. No human feet have tracked its
streams in their wanderings. The Ia
ther has decrecd that we must drink
Of it to live, and yet he blinds our
eyes with sleep before he lets US
drink. When we awake the strength
Of the stream is in us, and so we make
the journey Of the day. And the
strange waters have strange powers.
Soul darkness and despair are melted
in them; fear and trouble shriyel; hope
and strength are held in sweet solu-
ton in their wakes. Worn and weary
with the care and fret, closing her
eyes as the tired lids fall in the gloom
Of night, the faint mother slips into
the stream Of sleep, and then in a little
while the morning comes, and o new
woman looks out upon the day with
the secret CT a new creation in her
soul. new power and courage born Of

The Moor and His Horse.

The horsenastership Of the Moors is
primitive and entirely successful. j
Moor never walks when he can ride
and never by any chance gets off to
ease his beast. How q Moorish pony
would have chuckled at the weary
walks enforced on tired men by well
meaning cavalry colonels in South At
RIGA! He would have said to himself:
'T don't think much Of animals that
can't carry fifteen stone fifteen hours a
day. I must be really superior kind
Of beast" The Moorish (and Goumier)
horse always spends his nights in the
open. He is never eroomed or clip
ped. His youth is passed wandering
untended over the vast fields. When
in work he gets all the barley he
wants at night and a drink before his
feed in the evening. From { o. m to I
p. m. be expects to work and to work
hard without bite or sup. His saddle
is a wooden tree superimposed on at
least half a dozen folded blankets. the
thickness Of which often reaches six
inches, and he never gets a sore back.

4 Real John Doe.

There goes a man who would be
justified in changing his name said
the city salesman His name is real
" Doe and John in the bargain-John
Doe. Moreover, he has sister Jane.
I wonder what kind of joke their par
ents were trying to perpetrate on those
helpless mcrtals. Doe as a surname
was bad enough without adding to the
offensc by tacking on John and Jane.
When I first met John Doe l didnt t
take his name seriously. I thought
the man who introduced US was en-
joying a little pleasantly at my ex-
pense or maybe at the expense Of John
Doe. I smiled John Doe did not
smile
"'You don't believe it, he said. but
unfortunately it is true. I am the IA
nous Doe
Later met his sister Jane and the
rest Of that particular Doe family.
They assured me that there are num-
Der Of Does in town. presume there
are, but trust that in most cases the
old folks had sense enough not 10
christen their offspring John and

He Got the Ticket,

"Seamen's return" tickets are issued
by most British railways at seaport
towns to sailors a. reduced rates. A
rather well groomed young man de-
nanded one to Birmingham; the book
ing clerk at Hull demurred.
"tSeamen's returns are only issued
to sailors" he snapped.
"Well, I'm a sailor" was the reply.
II have only your word for that, "
said the clerk. "How am to know it
is correct?@
Glow are you to know" came the
answer. "Why, you leather necked,
swivel eyed son of sea cook, If you
feel my starboard boom running foul
Of your headlights you'll know I've
been doing more than sit on q stool
bleating all my life, and you'll haul in
your jaw tackle a bit"
"Give him the ticket" said the pas
senger superintendent, who had over
heard the dialogue; hes a sailor, right
enough."-Londor Scraps.

Queer life In johannesburg.

Here is an amusing description OF
queer life in a johannesburg residen-
tial block: Nearly every one has one
room, and into this you cram nearly
all your worldly possessions and learn
all kinds of vanishing tricks and jug
Cling feats, such as having a comblna-
ton bed and piano, using your wash
ing stand for your writing table and
converting your nip bath by day with
rugs and cushions into an armchair.
In this abode Of bliss you receive your
friends, male and female. and, If the
gentleman, sitting himself rashly on
the bed-sofa, vanishes into the piano
or the lady throws herselflyearily into
the hip bath armchair and It falls OH
the packing case with her inside it,
no one will turn hair. You will in
vite them to lunch or tea or dinner,
which ever is approaching, and the
gentleman will offer to so and buy
chops or kippers and fetch the milk
and when he returns will help you
cook, and you'll sit together and eat
it on the washing stand, which also
does duty as q dinner table on such
occasions. ns."-London STANDARD.

Eif+v DolIar Dinners,

Dinners at $50 a plate are as COM
mon in New York as five dollar din
ners are in London and Paris" said a
chef. "Our extravagant dinners are
no better than the cheaper foreign
ones. Their cost is caused not by the
exquisite cooking Of exquisite materl-
ais, but by the use Ct exotic foods
whose expense is their chief recon-
mendation. What Go I mean by ex-
otic foods? Well, I mean cane sugar
instead Of the ordinary beet root kind
for the compete; I mean wild rice IN
stead of the cultivated for the canvas
back; I mean sole brought alive from
England and sterlet from Russia. when
our own native fish is better condi-
toned; I mean hothouse strawber-
ries as big as apples, pears as big as
cocoanuts and grapes as big as peaches,
all tasting rather like raw pumpkin,
but looking very fine in blizzard
weather. Foolish foods; but, then,
it's only foolish people who eat fifty
dollar dinners. ."-Cincinnati Enquirer.

EnIivened His Sermon.

a minister Of Crosmichael. in Fife,
frequently talked from the pulpit to
his hearers with amusing and indeed
irreverent familiarity. Expounding a
passage from Exodus one day. he pro-
ceeded thus: And the Lord said unto
Moses'-Sneck that door! I'm thinking
il ye had to sit beside the door yersel'
We wadna be sac ready leaving it open.
1t was just beside that door that Ye-
dam Tamson, the bellmaD, got his
death O. cauld, and I'm sure, honest
man. he didna let it stay muckle open.
And the Lord said unto Moses'-I see
a man aseath the laft WI his hat on.
Pm sure, man, ye're clear O. the soogh
O. that door there. Keep aft your ban
net, Thamas, and if your bare pow be
cauld ye maun just get gray worsted
wig, like myself. They're no sac dear
plenty O. them at Bob Gillespie's for
10 pence apiece" The reverend gen
tleman then proceeded with his dis
course.

SEEING and Thinking.

Most people see an object when they
think Of it. They can see before their
eyes a geonetrical drawing or the fig
ures on chessboard when they think
Of them. In order to think at all most
men make use O.. images. though they
may be Of different kinds. Thus one
man when he thinks Of Italy" sees
just the printed word; another sees the
country's outline on map; another
may see the country spread out before
him, with its villages and towns.
Psychologists are beginning to classify
the different aids or images Of which
men make use. Some, for example,
hear the words Of their thought within
themselves; others read them, as if
the words were written generally in
black on a white ground.-London

HHumble Pie

Originally the term humble pie
carried no opprobrious meaning. The
pie was one made out Of the hum
bles' or "numbles," from the Norman
French "nombrils'-i. e., the entrails
Of deer. To this day it is highly es-
teemed in Scotland and in northern
parts of England. So late as the time
Of Pepys ''umble pie" was served as
part Of the menu Of q gentleman's Ia
BILE on an extraordinary occasion. Some
writer's derive the contumelious use Of
the phrase "to eat humble pie" from
an alleged custom Of serving tumble
pie" below the salt, or at the second
table. But this is not supported by
authority. It more probably came into
use simply through the similarity Of
sound, there being no similarity Of
meaning whatever between the noun
umbles or numbles and the adjective
humble.
