memory by a unique mausoleum
Passersby are sure to be attracted
by the pretentious monument, and
those who pause will see a
number of curious symbols, all
of which have reference to some
phase in the minstrel's life. Over
the granite entrance is inscribed
the name which tells whose body
lies therein. The monument it.

of the minstrel. All the carvings are

the United States AS our readers know the
crowding OF the cattle out of many section Of the
range by the sheep has been attended by much
bitterness and controversy. There are three prin-
cipal species of range sheep. The old Mexico
sheep are the direct descendants Of the original
Spanish Merinos brought over two hundred years
ago by the Spaniards In Old Mexico. They have
long legs: long, thin body. and the wool Is fne
and thin. They are hardy. excellent travellers and
will keep In good condition on the poorest and
driest Of ranges Often they outsell all other
sheep, for the meat has an excellent flavor and
the hide Is thin. Arm and soft. These original
Mexican sheep have been largely graded with Me-
rino rams In New Mexico and southern Colorado
The, New Mexico sheep. as they are denominated,
are small-bodied sheep, and although they never
grow very large they get very fat. They bring
good prices, for the same reasons that obtain In
the case of the Mexican sheep above mentioned.
Merinos also to be found on the range in great
numbers, many of them having been bred from
Merinos brought from the east. The lambs are
shortlegged and not as good travellers the
southern sheep. but theysne not be. for Wyom-

ranges than aresto be found in New Mexico and It
is in these northern states that the Merinos hold
sway.
Almost all range sheer, are affected with scab

scarcely noticeable. AS remedy it Is the general
practice to dip all range sheep. and this opera

ranch Is decidedly picturesque. Oftentimes 1t is
deemed necessary to give the same sheep several
dippings at intervals of ten days. and occasional

North of Dupont Circle.

Residential improvements along the line
of Connecticut avenue, north of Dupont
Circle. are continuing steadily, and at
the present time contractors are at work
on two handsome structures, one at the
corner of Connecticut avenue and Q
street and the other on the east side of
Connecticut avenue between Q and
r streets. The former dwelling is
being erected by Clarke Waggaman, ar
chitect and builder, after plans of his
own drawing. 1t is being built for Il.
II. Traver This house is after an early
English type, with English basement,
with this lower floor included in its
three stories in height The walls are
OF white limestone. surmounted by a
cornice and balustrade of the same ma
terial. A unique feature is found i'm "a
built-in garage, which occupies one cor
ner of the basement. Another feature
Is the windows of the house, which are
of tiny diamond-shaped panes in large
frames. They were made especially for
this house by manufacturer in Eng

the point that the building will soon be
turned over to the interior decorators. 1t

pestry brick with heavy joints. The house
occupies the entire width of. twenty
five-foot lot, and it is three stories in
height DR.. Magee's offices will occupy

upper floors as his residence. Plans for
the structure were prepared by Wood,
Dom & Deming, architects, and it is
estimated it's cost will be about $4,000.
