MARKING of Sheep.

Means prevailing at present for
marking sheep for the purpose of iden-
tification is unsatisfactory for the rea-
son that the coal tar or pitch solu-
ton which is made use Of has seri-
Gus effect on the wool, not only where
the mark has been made on the hair
but all that which is being put through
the cleansing process at that time.
Such wool brings decreased price.
The National Society OF Agriculture
of France has been investigating the
matter. and the report of those ap-
pointed to do the work contains the
following: II has been proposed to use
aniline colors. but this is even worse,
since the colors do not merely soil
the fleece, but actually dye 1t. Other
means are not lacking, notably that
of tattooing the ear of the sheep. Also.
a small metallic plate can be fastened
in the ear. as is done with African
sheep to prove that they have been
"claveliZed," |. e., inoculated with the
special serum which combats their
dangerous eruptive malady. rot or

mtrce and industry advises the en-
t.ey... ant of color composed of lin

Her Life q Puzzle.

Extraordinary stories are told of
the eccentricities of mysterious old
lady, whose death occurred recently
in London She was known to her
neighbors as Miss Burnaby, and on
the rare occasions when she spoke to
them she assured them she was the
last surviving daughter of the late
General Burnaby. She was also said
to be a sister of Col. Fred Burnaby,
the hero of the famous ride to Khiva,
Turkestan Miss Burnaby lived in
house of six rooms with an aged
housekeeper; both were over seventy.
During the twenty years she had lived
In the house she was never known
to receive a visitor She went out
seldom-and then usually to church.
Her eccentricity was mostly concerned
with her love of animals. She kept
as many as a dozen cats. These lived
in her bedroom and slept on her bed
or in comfortably lined baskets. Ev-
cry morning fresh outlets Of fish were
given to her cats, each one receiving
its portion upon a dainty plate. She
never went to bed at night till she
was assured that every cat was safely
at home.

"IIl remember it. This is the most
timely help l have ever received"
Glad of It," said Walter heartily,
and went on his way Immediately for
getting his kind deed, but followed by
the ardently-expressed wishes Of his
pensioner that 'he would have all
kinds of good luck"
The parting benson of the blind
man. however, did not follow out. In
stead, bad luck. indeed. came to the
young bank clerk The following day
the manager Of the bank called him
into his private Office, serious-faced
and somewhat distant in his manner

you that you will have to take leave
of absence until the return OF the

why. what does this mean?" ex-
claimed Walter, staring vaguely.
Just this: Only yourself and Mr..
Merton have keys to the bank Com
ing from another town late in the
morning, I have found no use for one.
Last night some one entered the bank
and removed the money and notes we
keep in the cashiers box. II is not
usually locked up in the vault, as the
sum it holds is generally small How
ever. the notes and some two hundred
dollars are missing"
DO you dare" began Walter,
flaring up instantly. but the manager
silenced him with the words:
mo one suspects you. but the bank
directors hold you responsible as the
possessor of a key to the institution
They demand an investigation, and
your temporary resignation until Mr.
Merton returns"
The matter was plainly put and
Walter could not rebel. The story got
about town. No one accused him
openly. but there were limited suspi
cions. and to say the least he felt un
comfortable.
Old Mr.. Merton was a grabbed. sus
picious man. and Walter wondered
how Viola would take IL. He went te
a lawyer. but the latter advised hin
not to stir things up.

Patriotic Women.

When praising the Balkan peoples
for their patriotism, do not forget the
patriotism of the Balkan women
The war against Turkey could be
won only by sending every available
man to the front at once. The men
were sent, and women stepped for
ward to do work which men had done
before. Women are driving cabs and
carts. cleaning streets. running street
cars, loading and unloading ships and
trains, doing all the clerical work and
all the agricultural labor usually per-
formed by men.
An American woman living in Ath'
or, writes that men between eighteen

With the magic of a smile Walter
Davis ruled all the little world of
Millville. He had started in at the
bank as messenger, and at twenty-five,
bright, intelligent, energetic, had
worked his way into the favor Of ev-
cry person connected with that insti-
tuition from the president down to the
Ianitor-save one
The exception was Bruce Lowell
He seemed always to have envied Wal

larity. He was a dark-featured, sinis-
ter-appearing man, secretive and surly.
II the light-hearted Walter had more
closely scanned the surface Of affairs,
he would have noticed that Lowell
scowled at him most particularly when
he was in the company of Viola Mer-
ton, the daughter Of the president of
the bank and the belle of the town.
Walter was always doing kind
things and making other people happy.
