IMPORTANCE OF STRONG RAM
II Both Male and Eve Are Weak In
Some Points Weaknesses Are In.
tensified in Lambs.

A ram is half the flock. A good
ram will impress his desirable quail
tiles on his offspring The ram must
be strong in the points in which the
ewes are deficient. 1t is q well-known
fact that like begets like, and If
both the ram and the eve are weak
in the same points these weaknesses
will be intensified in the offspring.
If the flock is small, a ram lamb
will be all right. If there are more
than thirty ewes the ram should be
two years old. The ram selected will
depend upon the type of ewes in the
flock. If the ewes are small and
light-boned, heavyweight and
heavy-boned ram will be needed. A
ram with more refinement should be
used if the ewes are coarse-boned
and rangy.

LAST OF THE CARIB INDIANS
Not More Than One Hundred of Race
Which Columbus Found in West
Indies Are Still Alive.

The Carib Indian was the first repre-
sentative Of Lo, the poor red man, to
meet the tide of European travel. He
was the one found by Columbus and
the later Spanish explorers in the West
Indies, and he has given the Caribbean
sea his name. Thus he Is assured a
monument as long as geography shall
last, and he needs it, because as a liv-
ing race he has practically disap-
peared.
How many thousands Of Caribs
dwelt in the West Indies in 1892 is
largely matter of conjecture. They
quickly began to die out under the
hand Of the conQueror, who worked
them as slaves and shot them when
they made war. Today 1t is doubtful
whether there are 100 -blooded
Caribs alive. Practically all Of them
live on the British isle of Dominica, on
a reservation set apart for them called
Salybia.
The reservation IS very difficult of
access, for there is no sheltered har-
Dor or landing place. The only method
of approach is by one of the coasting
steamers which circle the island.
When the steamer gets opposite Sa-
Lydia with anyone who wants to land
aboard, she stops and whistles. If the
weather Is good and the water smooth
enough, canoe puts out and takes the
passenger ashore. II the weather is
too rough the passenger must needs
content himself to 80 on around the
island and try again on the next round.

The annual out Of Typographical
Union No. 618 on Sunday was a
success from every standpoint With

the outing was held, and by 7:3O the
