An old writer OF sporting adventures, says: 81 have noticed as fact that struck me as be- ing peculiar that the braveSt and largest wild animals always had deep voices and that they were generally melodious, full OF music as it were, while the small fry, which would run from common cur, had high, sharp voices. I have hunted with some Of the bravest men, the best scouts and the most famous hunters In the West, and found that they also had heavy highest order Of animals, those that were brave and daring, were also deep in voice, and that their tntOnatiOns never Jared on the ear. tenors it struck me as an odd idea that thin voiced animals were seldom so courageous TN actual life as their deeper-tOned congeners and this has caused me to express it here to see II 1t is in any way founded on fact, or whether 1t Is mere artificial system OF display"

This people are almost one-third OF the earth's population and their condition is of the utmost Importance to all other peoples, as in the iptermingling of nations they are a most important factor in our civilization.

The following is a good one in the way of religious test-good becuse it is true. A minister not long since held protracted meetings not far from Port Austin and Bad Axe, Mich. One day one of his converts, while driving bis oxen with heavy load behind them over the bad roads between. the above-named places, accidentally look ed back and discovered his pastor cov- ertly following behind. The, convert could not imagine the cause of such strange conduct, but thought he would keep an eye on his movements.

And our hearts though stout and brave, Still like mufied drums are beating, Onward marches to the grave" Yea! "art is long," the destroying finger Of time leaves but little impress upon the works of art, fashioned by the skillful hand of man. The beautiful chiseled marble stands a lasting monument to the undying genius of a powerful mind long after the hands that wrought it are folded over the silent heart. The canvas, al though now faded, has traces of a master mind; those once glowing col ors shadow forth the beautiful fancies of one whose earthly life is over. Gen erations have passed away, and his name, were it not for the frail work of his own hand, would long since have been forgotten. The poet weaves his brilliant thoughts into verse er sonnet. He wins the esteem and applause of his fellow men; not only those with whom he associates, but his name is loved by all who have feasted their souls upon the beauty of his verse. Though all may not be blest with the gift of poetry, there is not one heart but has at some time felt the beauty the power of poetry. Who could fail to admire the sweet songs of a Moore or Morris. The writers may slum- Der, but their works will be handed down to pOsterity. For ages to come those sublime sentiments will gladden. the hearts of earth's weary children The philosophers = the statesmen of old-have all passed away, yet they are not forgotten. They live ia the hearts of greatful people. The world is wiser and better that they have lived.

Mr.. EDlToR,-H your space will permit have few words which l would like to say which not only concerns the farmers but the denizens of the cities. called in too see the county fair and was much pleased with all the stock.-but wish particularly to speak Of the sheep. There was number of very fine breeds displayed, indicating that renewed interest had awakened among the farmers. OF late years sheep raising has been too much neglected in the State, while the star west'' has been allowed to fill the constant demand complained that farming don't pay" If more of them would engage in sheep raising they would find less fault with the east, but to do SO proftably Judgment must be used to keep that which is best adapted to the climate. I observed, as you probably all did, some very fine specimens of several breeds, but was delighted with a pen of Oxford Downs exhibited by Sturgis & Bracket. There was yearling buck weighing about two hundred pounds, sired by Freeland, who won first prize in his class, and the grand sweepstakes prize as the best ram of any age, and was the heaviest sheep at the Centennial, weighing on his arrival from England 425 pounds. Also thee five-months old buck lambs, whose aggregate weight was 400 pounds. The mothers were the handsomest ewes had ever seen and were imported for the Centennial. The Oxford Downs are said to be very hardy and easily kept, and, if am judge, are Just the kind which farmer needs to mix with his flock to improve it. By SO doing we shall soon have cheaper and better mutton, that will usurp the place held by pork, and from our midst :. The Society should be COM mended for thef liberal premiums offered on sheep. They have proved themselves friends to all mutton lovers. A VISITOR.

People who have no opportunity to en- JOY sea bathing will be glad to know that a substitute nearly if not quite as strength | cning is found in al ammonia bath. A gill of liquid ammonia III pail of water makes an invigoratng solution, whose de- lightful effects can only be compared to q plunge In the surf. 10 weak persons this is recommended as al incompatible luxury and tonic. 1t cleanses tho skin and slimu- lates it wonderfully, and leaves the flesh as frm end cool as marble. More than this, the ammonia purilics the body from ali odor OF perspiration. Those in whom the secretion is unpleasant will find relief bv using spoonful Of the tincturc in q basin OF water and washing the armpits with it every morning. Many people find great comfort and benefit from salt water baths. arranged in this way: A coffee cup of fine distilled salt is mixed with gallon of water, and with hair glove or Russian bath cloth the body is thoroughly bathcd with the mixture, rubbing until the BODY is ag!ow. Then follows an exhilirat.on akih to surf bathing. The druggists sell boxes Of salt specially prepared and weigh ing three pounds for fifty cents. For a delicate child such bath is recommended as specially beneficial. Many people find an occasional bran bath greatly improves the condition of the skin. The French women find it leaves their dark, clear flesh as soft as baby's. A peck of common bran, TO be had at any of the feed stores, is stirred into a tub OF warm water. The rubbing of the scaly particles of the bran cleanses the skin, while the gluten in it softcns and strengthens the tissues The friction OF the loose bran calls the blood to the surface, and nervous and irritable pco- pie find special benefit from it for their mind as well as their bodies Physicians saw the habitual use of soap upon the face leaves the skin brown, and recommend little oat- meal III the water, or the ammonia suggest. cd above.
