Boer Umbrella.

Umbrellas for some inscrutable rea.

much used by the Beers. In common
with our own views, the Boer believed
that an umbrella gave a man an air
Of distinction, though the shocking
specimens they carried. which remind.
ed one very much of Sairey Camp,
would not have been calculated to
possess this attribute among our own
countrymen. Where these umbrellas
came from is one Of the many I'M
known facts OF the old-time republic.
They were big and bulky. as a rule of

out Of order. but they were always to

he journeyed into town on Saturday.

TRICK TURNED BY DIPLOMAT
Nlearaouan Postage Stamps, lssuee
at Unfortunate Time, Lost That
Country the Canal.

A postage stamp which played q
part in history IL told about by M.
Bunau.varilla in his book on the Pan.
anna canal. The incident occurred
when the discussion over the relative
merits Of the Panama and Nicaragua
routes was at its height. Bunau-
'Varilla had been working vigorously
for the Panama route, making use Of
the two arguments Of less cost and
immunity from active volcanoes.
One day he recalled that Nicaragua
had issued handsome stamp, show.
ing volcano in full activity. He at
once sent to the dealers in foreign
stamps In Washington. and obtained
ninety of these stamps, which he for
warded to the ninety senators, along
with bits Of paper bearing the words:
Postage stamp Of the republic Of
Nicaragua; an official witness of the
volcanic activity of Nicaragua"
The catastrophe at St. Pierre took
place about this time, to deepen the
impression Of volcanic danger, and
the Panama route was adopted by the
narrow margin Of four votes.

recently In the northern part Of that

The burglarious monkey--if 1t was

Wheelock, In Evanston. Monkey foot
prints were discovered on window
sill and the heavy shoe marks Of a
man on the ground below.
1T was about midnight when

said Mrs. Wheelock. Then l heard
q squeal and q soft thud as the animal

VENICE MUST BE ENLARGED

Venice is confronted by a serious
problem. The city Ii rapidly gaining

been found to accommodate the In
crease. There are now 10000 inhabi.
tants In Venice in excess Of suitable
quarters. Among the many plans dis.
cussed is the building Of new quarters
at the Lido island. Another plan con.
templates an additional town at the
mouth Of the Brenta river. To study
the whole housing problem, as well as
other questions Of local Importance,
prominent citizens have organized q
society named PRO Venezia." The
present population is 10000. against
161. 900 in 1911. The cholera kept many
tourists from Venice in 1911, entailing
loss Of thousands of dollars. Last
year there were no such fears, and the
biennial art exhibition and the dedica
ton Of the restored Campanile brought
an unusual number Of visitors.

CULLlNC OUT THE OLD EWES
Good Shepherds Do Not Hesitate to
Get Rid Of Grandmothers Before
They Go Down Hill.

Usually by the time that q eve has
reached the age of seven years she
has spent most Of her usefulness as q
breeder and mother. Good shepherds
do not hesitate to Gull out these old
grandmothers before they go down
hill. They usually pick up in flesh
shortly after weaving time. and can
be best marketed just as hey come
from pasture-without fattening.
Old ewes break in the mouth" so
to speak, and cannot eat. Naturally
they keep going down in flesh, waste
much OF their food, and frequently
their mouths get so sore they will not
take sufficient food to fatten them.
The wool becomes shorter and short
er with advancing age, says the Farm
Press, and lacks several pounds OF
the weights they shore In their prime.
Lambs from old ewes are never as
satisfactory. The milk supply falls
short, and the lamb is dwarfed and
stunted so that II never makes a
thrifty feeder.
Their presence in the flock detracts
from its appearance and value. One
or two old ewes In flock Of prime
breeders will often hurt the sale value
as much as dollar head. Fol
these reasons, then, Gull closely and
keep only the best prime breeding
ewes. With the price of mutton ant
wool 80 low as 1t is. he cannot afford
to keep other than those from which
the best returns can be expected.

VIII Restore Republican Rule.

Twenty-One years ago the wage
earners voted In anger rather than In
reason. They held the Republican
party responsible for the Homestead
strike-for which 1t was In nowise re-
sponsible-and voted to bring In the
Democratic party committed to re-
vision Of the tariff on anti-protection
lines. The result was four years OF
business depression. with lower wages
where wages were paid at all, and no
wages whatever at many points where
work had been plentiful and wages
high. The wage earners. as they soon
discovered. had inflicted heavy loss
on themselves. Two years later they
voted to bring in Republican house,
and two years after that to restore the
Republican party TO complete control
OF the government, History will
shortly repeat itself.

No English Mountains,

There is no long range Of noun.
tains In England, but there are extern
sive areas of hill country and many
points Of considerable height, though
not nearly so high as many in this
country. The highest point in Eng.
land is Scofell pike, in the Lake dis
trict, 3,210 feet high. The highest
point Of the Cheviot hills (they say
hills instead of mountains) is the
Cheviot, 1910 feet. There is a range
of hills called the Pennine, the high.
est point of which, called the Peak
of Derbyshire. is 2,OSS feet in height.
These attitudes are greatly exceeded
by many In different parts of this
country. Wales has one point higher
than any In England, Snowdon, $500

STOCK CHUTE QUITE USEFUL

the feed lots, but they are often made
so that they can be transported from
