Sheep From the Spanish Armada.


The Herdwlcks are perhaps the most
Interesting Of British sheep. Their
origin Is wrapped in mystery, and,
like many other mysteries. they are
supposed to have been upon one of the
vessels belonging to the Spanish ar
mazda wrecked on the north coast.
Some authorities, however, consider
that they are of scandinavian origin,
us the special counting used for the
sheep Is said 20 be derived from Scan
dinavan words. 1t varies slightly 10
different districts, but the numerals
are Gying out, being only used by the
older farmers. They are from one up to

S0[ACE THAT NEVER FAILS
Best Antidote for Cares and Worries
Found In the Solitude of the
Wilderness.

What medicine in the quietude of ma
ture After day of feverish struggle
to make the discords of human endeav-
or harmonize with the souls aspira'
tons for tranquility and peace go into
Ii bit of natural woods bordering a
calm, shadow-tinted lake and in the
twilight silence listen to the innumer-
able whisperings of the leaves. Stretch
your weary body on the green sward
and with an ear to the earth note the
quick bursting of the roots of those
tiny blades through the compressed
ground. Catch the quick changes in
light and shadow of the breeZestirred
branches overhead. High over the
water a swallow darts and sails, EN-
blem of faith. against a tender sky. The
waters lap the shore with accents OF
pure Joy. Cool soft winds steal
cheek like the fingers of dear compan-
ions gone before.
In such sweet solitude all cares and
worries fall into fOrgetfulness and
their places are filed with gentle
thoughts and fond remembranceS. The
harsh sounds of the busy day no longer
assail the ear with their disturbing
sequence. Nature is the only actor In
this lovely scene and all her move
ments are full Of gentle grace, all her
sounds accord, one with the other
making pleasant chorus, concord
of sweet sounds" that win your whole
being to their melodious flow.
Here you become one with the ,ex-
panding sky. the rejecting water, the
calm trees, the playful grasses. Some
thing liberal takes possession Of your
heart and brain and soul and a great
kindness grows within. Humanity Is
softly Transmitted into an essence OF
brotherhood. No longer is your sight
material, your senses 60. The eye or
the mind beholds a universe of quiet
cheer, peopled with lovers of truth.
Nature has wrought miracle. You
are translated with all the hitherto dis
tracted earth into land of pure de-
light where no fault lies and all eyes
look unclouded into other eyes that
look and beam again.
The glory Of that dreamed-of heaven
lies in that little lonely nook beside the
placid lake.
