Sheep Flocks Diminishing.
Because sheep need such extensive [■
ranges In order to get enough, to eat,
sheep flocks are uniformly diminish
ing In all countries, even In Argentina,
where sheep farming was believed to
be one of the best sources of wealth
for an Indefinite time. Only In dis
tricts Vhere the immense area of pas
ture land Is out of proportion to the
hands available for tilling It can sheep
be kept at a profit.
The Wonder of It.
The wonder In It all Is, not that
we can converse with a very few
words, but that the human mind Is
so all-embracing In Its power to
think, that It can employ hundreds
of thousands of words to give ex
pression to Its thoughts.
Use 6kln Cradles.
Skin cradles were used almost ex.

many other tribes.

Hidden Treasure Removed.
It is stated that quite a sum of
money has been found at Her
ron’s Switch, in Baxter county.
Rumors have been circulated for
years that a big treasure had
been hidden in that locality, and
last week a hole was found hav
ing all the indications of having
had a vault or receptacle remov

by those in that locality that the

mystery.—Sharp County Record.

Vast Areas In Canada of Which Gov
ernment Has No Definite
Knowledge.
There are vast areas in Canada of
which even the government has no
definite knowledge, and there are thou
sands of square miles where the foot
of a white man has never trod. Prac
tically all knowledge of this big wild
country has been secured again and
again along a few chosen and well
worn routes, outside of which investi
gation has seldom gone.
Imagine a dozen or so well beaten
vehicle highways traversing a country
one-fourth as large as Europe—narrow
highways hemmed in by impenetrable
wilderness—and one may form some
sort of an idea of tne little that is still
known of 600,000 square miles of the
North American continent.
Along these routes nearly all
plorers” have gone. Along them are
situated most of the fur posts, and
beyond their narrow lines but little Is
known. And, In this world of forest
and ridge mountains and eternal deso
lation, still burled In the mystery and
sllenoe of endless centuries, are Its
“people."
Approximately there are from IB,900
to 18.000 human souls In an area 15
times the side of Ohio, end there are'
no more than 500 of these dko have
not some Indian blood In their veins.
On the other hand fully ono-half of the
total population has Its strain of white
blood.—Leslie’s Weekly.
SOME QUAINT OLD SPOTS
American Woman Finds Much of In
teroat During Visit to War
wick, England.
The Leicester hospital, founded by
that same favorite of Queen Eliza
beth, as a home for old retainers, la
interesting. I think most of all we
enjoyed the. wood-paneled kitchen,
when a roaring Are threw a bright
light on the burnished copper pots.
From our room in the hotel we
could hear the clear chimes of 8t
Mary's playing a different tune every
day. Tom Moore’s Minstrel Boy rang
out very well one day. There is a
fine chapel in the church, second only
to Henry VII.’s in Westminster, and
there lies the Earl of Leicester with
the one wife who outlived him, and
who chose to be buried with him
rather than with her second husband.
One bronze monument to an earl of
noble character is of beautiful work
manship. Every Saturday, in accord
ance with an old bequest, loaves of
bread are given to the poor who come
to the church; and at one service in
September every member of the con
gregation is given a loaf of bread.
We were sorry to leave Warwick
and hope that we may obey the in
junction of the old pensioner at the
castle: "Come soon again."—Annie
Laura Miller in Portland Oregonian.
Judson’s Birthplace.
BaptiBts will be Interested to learn
that the birthplace of Adonlram Jud
son in Malden. Mass., has come into
the possession of the American Bap
tist Foreign .Mission sooiety and has
bhen refitted* and refurnished and will
be used hereafter as a house for Bap
tist foreign missionaries at home in
America for rest and recovery of
health. This house was built as a
parsonage for the Congregational
church in Malden when William Emer
son, Ralph Waldo Emerson’s father,
was pastor of the church, and was
oocupied by Doctor Judson’s father
while he was pastor of the same
church. For many years it has been
private property, and it is gratifying
to know that this historic house is to
be preserved.—Boston Watchman.
8tamp Collector's Freak.
A wealthy Russian stamp collector’s
freak has been the subject of some
comment among philatelists. M. Stem
mer of St. Petersburg, a well-known
collector, kas in his possssslon fire old
Stamps, mostly German, which he to
tiered were the only neolmens In &
IstenM, HI# friend Prince Trpubetf
Vol ridiculed the idea and after Wx<m
advertising obtained duplicates from
dealers in the United States and Paid
$5,600 for them.
Stemmer was furious and wanted to
buy them immediately, but TroubetS
kol refused to sell. After much per
suasion the five stamps changed hahds
for $12,500, and, beaming with joy,
Stemmer threw them into the fire. ,
"Now my set Is really unique,” he
exclaimed to the amazed Troubetzkol.
Women Aid City Work.
The Woman’s Municipal league of
New York not only Interests Itself In
the work of making more clean and
beautiful the city, but haa formed a
Junior league, the Idea being to teach
the children and possibly through them
the parents will learn better the obli
gation of every citizen to keep the
streets clean and make the city a
healthful and beautiful place in whlcb
to live.
