Competitive Trial of Sheep Hops.
At the international sheep show in
Philadelphia, one of the most interest
ing features of the exhibition was h trial
of the skill of sheep dogs in managing
their fleecy charge. The dogs were ex
pected to tnko five sheep from a pen.
drive them around a course about a
quarter of a mile long, and put them in
another pen provided for the purpose.
The first attempt was made by an Eng
lish dog called “ Lad,” which, in Shef
field, England, is said to have earned
off the first prize from twenty-eight
competitors. A correspondent of the
“New England Farmer” thus describes
the scone:
Everything being in readiness, the
bars woro taken down, and at a word
from his master “Lad” jumped into
the pen and sent the sheep out in a
hurry. They were very wild, and the
large crowd present had a tendency to
make them worse. They at once
started around the north side of the
course, followed by the dog and his
master, but had not gono a third of tho
distance when the ram nt tho lead made
n break, and wont through tho crowd on
tho outside of the ring, closely followed
by the others, with, the dog at thoir
heels. In a short time tho dog returned
with four of them, but the fifth wns
still missing. Aftor bringing them
back, he wont in search of the absent
one, which he soon found and brought
insido the inclosuro. Hut instead of
going toward its companions this re
fractory mm started in tho other direc
tion, but wns not followed by tho dog,
who went again after tho stray four. After
getting those started, another broke
nwny, but was soon brought back, when
all four ngain started around the course,
the intention of the dog boing evidently
to pick up the stray ram when ho came
up with him. When tho dog went to
got tho ram, it showed fight, and took
refuge between two stono slabs. The
dog barked furiously, and in vain at
tempted to dislodge the stubborn ani
mal. Tho dog was about giving it up,
when his nuistor instructed him to go
back and fetch tho mm with him. The
dog started with renewed conrago, and
charged tho infuriated ram. Instead of
the ram running away, it lowered its
head and repelled tho attack of the
eaniuo. After being repeatedly buttod,
tho dog caught tho mm by tho ear, and
by dint of sheer forco led the nnimnl to
the pen. This trial consumed about
twonfy-five minutes. A Scotch collio
named “Oscar” did not havo so severe
a tusslo as “ Lad," and accomplished his
task in twonty-ono minutes. Other
dogs were nlso put on trial tost, and the
awards were mado later in tho week.
All of the dogs nro endowed with in
credible intelligence and sagacity.
Do Not Fret.
Men get out of order by excessivo in
dustry, from stoady watch, from care,
and so render morbid tho whole nervous
system and for tho time being will
draw fear from tho future. Too much
is too much of anything. Homo men
are born hopeful; they go upon life ox
actly as a buoyant boat fiouts upon tho
waves. It goes up whon they go up, it
falls when they fall, but it is evermore
on tho surface. I havo known men
bankrupted andlthey came up next morn
ing smiling. Thou there are other men
whose hope is at a minimum. Tho future
is novor radiant to them. Ono great
fault is throwing into tho future in
flamed desires. It is not wrong for men
to desire riches. Certainly it is not
Wrong to desire that which is the prin
cipal motive to industry. But if this is
carried to an excess men become mean,
dotostublo. There are multitudes of
men that never think of enjoying them
solves while they are acquiring riches.
They put it off to the future and they
live in n perpetual nnxioty and fret over
the acquisition of property. Property
is n very good thing, but it never had a
value that justified a man in sacrificing
his happines or his soul for it. How
many men there nro suffering care as to
how thoir children should stand in life,
how their family should stand, and if
next year they shall bo as prosperous ns
they are now ? llow many persons there
are that brood and brood unnecossarily
as to the future of their children, fearing
that they may not turn out well. “He
has told a lie ; he is on tho road to the
devil.'V jjWell, 1 don’t believe there over
was a child that did not lie. It is part
of their inherited nature, and it is an
evil, and a groat evil, and is to lie
plucked up by tho roots. I, when I go
into my garden, never cry and say
“ There are so many weeds ! I am never
going to have a garden, never, never,
never!” I dig up the weeds and say
“ I will havo a garden." And so parents
fearful of their children may take cour
age. Now as to the remedy for the evils
that grow out of this care for tho future
—-and first we must put tho direct re
sistauco of the will. It makes a great
difference whether a man takes a poker
by tho hot end or tho cold end. There
must be a vigorous determination that
you are not called to joy; that all the
universe is made for you, and that you
will not submit yourself to the degrada
tion and bondage of perpetual intrusive
fear; that you will say: “ I will not per
mit myself to suffer.” The best way of
escaping all these carping cares is to
trust in the Lord. All things are for
you.—[llcnry Ward Beecher.
Seven Days nt Sea Without Food.
On her last voyage the Austrian bark
Leandro, bound from the. West Indies to
Boston, sow something floating on tho
waves that looked like a wreck. As the
xessel eamo neai'or it was seen that the
flonting object wns part of a cabin of a
vossol, and that there were two human
beings upon it. A boat was sent to the
wreck. Lashod to it were two men,
emaciated, with blackened, swollen lips
and blistered faces and hands. They
were unable to speak, and ‘one of them
was insensible. Ho did not regain con
sciousness till nine hours after he was
taken aboard the Leandro. He was B.
MncDonald, first mate of the bark
County of Bichmond, and his com
panion was Henry Lang. Tho cast
aways were cared for on the Austrian
bark ai d taken to Boston. They were
tho only survivors of the County of
Bichmond, which went to pieces during
a violent hurricane. In a letter to his
brother, describing tho disaster of the
bark and his subsequent sufferings,
Mato MacDonnld says :
At soven o’clock in tho morning the
vessel took a heavy lurch to leeward,
and tho cargo shifted so much as to
throw the vessel almost on her beam
ends. All hands were then ordered to
get tho boat out. We got her down off
the fore house and partly over to lee
ward when the ship took a heavy sen on
board, which filled the boat and com
pletely tore her in pieces. Then it was
every man for himself, for it was evident
that tho vessel could not float, much
longer. We had nothing to mnk
raft of, as everything movable lmd been
washed from tiic decks. T got a ladder
which lmd been on tho forward house
and lashed to it two boards which 1 got
from tho forecastle. Then, with the as
sistance of one man, T got it over the
weather side, ready, ns soon as the ves
sel showed signs of going down, to drop
into tho water. I had not long to wait,
for in about ten minutes she heeled over
to leeward and commenced to settle. 1
then let go the ladder and jumped after
it, and succeeded after a hard struggle
in reaching it. When I looked back
the vessel lmd disappeared, having gone
down stern first. All l saw wore four
men struggling with the waves on bits
of wreckage, like myself. One man,
Honry Lnng, swam toward mo and got
on the ladder, which kept us above the
water pretty well. In that position wo
remained a few minutes, when wo saw
something large floating to windward.
Wo both let go tho ladder and succeeded
in getting to it, and found it to be the
top part of tho fonvnrel house, with the
beams and nil attached, which had been
washed off as the vessel foundered. We
got on top of tl o house, lashod our-
selvos to it by means of bits of rope
which wo carried around our bodies,
and then lionted awav from where the
vossol went down. Wo saw tho steward
lashed, fnco upward, to something, lie
shouted to us, but wo could render him
no assistance. We were soven days in
that position, exposed to the burning
sun by day and cold winds by night,
without either food or drink, until wo
were picked up by tho Austrian bark
Leandro, by whoso coptain we were very
kindly treated and taken to Boston.
HUMOROUS.
Make Friends.
Life is very critical. Any word may
be our last. Any farewell, ovon amiil
glee and merriment, may bo forever. If
this truth were but burnt into our con
sciousness, and if ruled as a deep con
viction and real power in our lives,
would it not give a new meaning to our
human relationships ? Would it not
make us far more tender than wo some
times are ? Would it not oftentimes put
u rein upon our rash and impetuous
speech ? Would we carry in our hearts
the miserable suspicions and jealousies
that now so often embitter tho fountains
of our lives ? Would we be so impatient
of the faults of others? Would we al
low trivial misunderstandings to build
up a wall between us and those who
ought to stand very close to us ? Would
we keep alive petty quarrels year after
year, which a manly word any day would
compose ? Would we pass old .friends
or neighbors on the street without re
cognition, because of some real or fan
cied slight, some wounding of pride, or
some ancient grudge ? Or would we be
so chary of the kind ^words, our com
mendations, our sympathy, our comfort,
when weary hearts all about us are
breaking for just such expressions of
interest or appreciation as we havo in
our power to give ?—[Christian at Work.

I.amlscapes Changed by Animals.
All aninin's, says Professor Mivart in
the “Contemporary Review,” are di
reetly or indirectly supported by plants,
and the range of plants and the very ex
istence of species are often wonderfully
affected by the appearance on the seem
of even one new kind of nnimnl. Thus
a great grazing district at the Capo,
called the “Midlands,” was, in Bur-
ehell’s time, covered with luxuriant
greensward, with a few trees and bushes,
with willows and acacias along the side
of its streams, The introduction of
sheep first destroyed the grass and then
most of the shrubs—a change which
affected the rainfall, so that this region
lias been invaded by the hardy plants of
the adjacent Karroo desert, and is fast
becoming an extension of the desert it
self. Saint Helena, when discovered by
the Portuguese, in tho year 1502, was
entirely covered with forests (the trees
drooping over its high precipices over
hanging the sea) and with a rich Horn of
absolutely peculiar pants. In 15111 some
goats were introduced, and in fifty years
hail multiplied into thousands. Yet in
170!) trees still abounded, and tho pe
euliar native ebony tree was still si
abundant that it was used to burn lime
with. In another hundred years (1810)
the goats had entirely destroyed the
great forests, yet so rich was the soil
that it was hoped, with tho destruction
of the goats (and they were destroyed)
the island would regain its wood by
quarter of a century. But tins was not
to be, for the government of that dav
most unhappily planted tho island witl
trees and shrubs from other countries
which have so grown and spread that
now the old indigenous flora is almost
confined to a few patches on the central
ridge of the island, at a height of 2,70(1
feet. AVliat has been lost may be judged
by tho fact that of the forty-five kinds of
flowering plants anil twenty-three spe
cies of ferns which yet survive, no less
than forty of the former and thirteen of
the latter are absolutely peculiar to the
island.
Ucmilnc Esquimau Dogs.
Lieutenant Doane, of tho United
States army, who wont out with the
Gulnare, brought back with him
two cute little Esquimau pup
pies, which ho has presented to
Captain Howgato. They are interesting
little creatures, and as frolicsome as
kittens. They are covered with fur, as
soft and fine as Saxony wool, and they
are as fond of petting as children. The
heads are black, and the bodies a dingy
whito, which is, howover, gradually
yielding to soap and water, and promises
in time to rival the snows of thoir Arctic
birthplace in whiteness. Their eyes
beam with intelligence, and their ears
are pointed, like those of foxes. They
are extremely good-natured, and man-,
fest a great fondness for human sociotyi
which proves that they are an important
factor in the domestic circles of the
Frigid Zone. They were fed meat on
their arrival, and, not being accustomed
to diet of that kind, it nearly ended
their lives. Then the weuther was very
warm in the middle of the day, and the
poor creatures panted as vigorously as a
United States member of the genus
canine in tho dog days. When the
■writer saw them they had just dined on
raw oysters, which they had enjoyed
immensely, and were trifling over their
dessert—a twenty-pound block of ice,
that t ,ev caressed with all the apparent
fondr.ess one bestows on an old and
familiar friend. If they survive such
extremes^of climate and nro not so many
pounds of hydrophobia to the square
inch, fine sledges drawn by Esquimau
dogs will become one of the vagaries of

Broken-Roue Fever.
Dengue, or brokon-bono fever, nlso
known os “dandy fever,” "bucket fever,”
and “bouquet fever” is said to have
made its first appearance as a malady
the West Indies in 1827, at which time
it was also communicated to the
Southern portion of tho United States
Tho disease, as has been previously
been stated, received tho name "dor.guo’
from the Spaniards of tho West India
islands from thoir word dengue, donot
mg pnuler,, which expresses stiffness—
a pain in tho bones and stiffness of tho
body, being tho principal features of tho
sickening disease.
During tho past few months reports
lmvo como from every quarter in tho
Southern States regarding tho pro
valence of this trend ilosomo, but not
noceossarily fatal disease. But few,
any, deaths have been made known from
its effects. Nearly o.ery citizen of
Savannah had a touch—some light,some
severe—of tho malady, and not ono of
them can give a definite explanation of
tho tortures of the disense. It 1ms
spared no ono—adults, children, little
men, large men, black men, whito mom

As for a cure or a preventive for tho
little nuisance, wc are not prepared
say wlmt is good or what is not good in

physicians, who, by tho way, lmvo been
reaping a rich harvest from the unlucky
victims of the disease. Some persons
have gono so far as to say that tho fevi
is more violent on those who have defied
it before falling into its dutches, but for
this wo cannot vouch. Wo can say
howover, that any one, sooner or later,
who are among its victims, does not
wish a second battle in order to show
better fight. [Probably for tho above
reason, more than anything else, that is
its severity on thoso who defy it, wo do
not wish to agitato Mr. Fovor, as our
ranks have already been visited by the

say “farewell.”—[Savannah News.
About Peanut*.
Tho modus operandi by which tlu
nuts are separated, elenned and classed it
somewhat us follows : The third story oi
tho building contains thousands of bush
els of peas in bags, and there the con
tinual roar of tho machinery is doftten-
ing. Each maehino has a duty to per
form. First, there is a large cylinder in
which all tho nuts are placed, in order
that the dust and dirt may bo shaken on
them. They pass from tho cylinder
into tho brushes, where every nut re
ceives fifteen feet of a brushing before
it becomes free. Then they pass through
a sluiceway to the floor below, where
they are dropped on an endless belt,
about two and one-half feet in width,
and dashing along at the rate of
four miles an hour. On each side
of the belt stand eight colored girls,
and, os tho nuts fall from the sluice
on to the belt the girls, with a quick
motion of the hand, pick out all the
poor-looking nuts, and by the time the
jelt retches the end two-thirds of the
nuts arc picked off, allowing only the
finest to pass the crucible. Those that
do pass drop through another sluice and
empty into lings on the floor below.
When the bag is filled it is taken away
by hand, sewed up and branded as
cocks,” with tho figure of a rooster
prominent on its sides. The peas caught
up by the girls are tliou thrown to one
side, placed in tho bags, and carried into
auother room where they are again picked
over, the best singled out, bagged and
branded as “ships.” These are ns fine
nut as the first for eating, but in sliaiie
and color do not compare with the
‘ < cocks." Haring gone over them twice,
wo now come to a third grade, which
are called and branded as ‘ ‘ eagles.
These arc picked out of tho cullings of
the “ cocks ” and “ ships,” but now and
then you will find a respectable-looking
nut among them, though the eyes of the
colored damsels are as keen os a hawk,
and a bad nut is rarely allowed to pass
their hands. The cullings that are left
from tho “eagles” are bagged, sent
through the elevator to tho top story,
anil want little ment is in thorn is shaken
out by a patent sheller, which is not on
ly novol, but as perfect a pieco
of machinery os was ever invented.
These nuts being shelled by this now
irocoss, the moat drops into bags below
.roe from dust or dirt of any kind, and
aro then shipped in 200-pound sacks to
the North, where they are bought up by
the confectioners for tho purpose of mak
ing taffy or peanut candy. It may bo
hero stated that ft peculiar kind of oil
is extracted from the ment of tho nut,

The Women of Montenegro.
A correspondent of tho “ London

woman takes an equal share of labor
with the man at field work, anil she doe
all the carrying. In travel here one en
gages a horse to ride and a woman for
the baggage. Only those who hav
neither wife, mother, daughter, nor de
pendent fomalo relation shoulder bur
dens as a common thing. Transport by
animals also is a, department of female
occupation. Coining from Cettinjo here
one meets pack-horses, mules, donkey
going u]i in droves, with a gang of
women following. Tremendous weight
they carry, slung by straps that cross tho
upper chest, anil as they go they knit or
spin. These dwellers by tho frontier
are much better looking than tho un
mixed race of tho interior, but uot less
hardy, strong and independent. The
have no shame or hesitation in begging
and universal mendicancy on the part of
women and girls must, I imagine, liavi
its influence on morality. In leaving
Montenegro, the traveler carries with
him a deep regard anil admiration for
the gallantry, the manliness and tho
shrewd intelligence of this str mge peo
pie. He is constrained to wish them
well and to hope that they will acquire
means to live at peace hereafter.

Wax Industry In Chinn.
Talking of boos makes ono think of
wax. Tho whito wax industry of Sze-
chuen, Chinn, howover, does not depend
on boes. It is a peculiar auil growing
industry. Baron Richthofen estimates
tlio value of tho annual crop, on tho
avorago, at about $3,250,000. In 1879
upward of $-105,000 worth of this curious
ontomologieal secretion was exported
from tho ono port of Hankow ulono.
Whito wax is tho mere exudation of an
insect in n state of disease, aggravated
probably by tlio operation of an uncon
genial climate, and favored by tlio
presence of a troo for which the creature
lias an affinity. In tho Keencliang dis
trict an overgreen, known as tho Ligus-
trum luoidum, thrives in abundance, and
on its twigs, iu tlio spring of tlio year,
cimntloss llios swarm liko a brown film.
The branches soon become covered with
a whito, soapy incrustation that in
creases in volume until tho commoncn-
ment of the fall of the year, when the
sprays are cut off anil immersed in water
which is kept boiling. Tho viscid sub-
stnnco rises to the surface, and is skim
med off, molted, and allowed to cool in
deop pans, It wns accidentally dis
covered that, by transporting the insocts
from their native district to the more
vigorous one of KoatingFu, in the north
of the province, their capability of dis
charging wax was largely augmented—a
property which [was promptly and ex
tensively availed of by tho Szo-chuen
tradors. Tlio period between evening
and morning is chosen for conveyance,
because many hours of sunlight would
precipitate tlio hatching. This should

later tho young Hies are sirarniing on the
twigs, whore they fulfill nioir mission by
tho month of August. Thou they
perish in the cauldrons, where the results
of their brief existence are collected. It
is said that this peculiar industry re
quires tho exercise of groat care, fore
thought and experience.—[The Farmer

Fast Horses.
The standard trotter is one that can
cover a mile in 2:30. It is said that less
than 600 of all tho horses raised and
trained in the United States havo this
record. The number that can trot in
2:50 bear the ratio of one to 2,383 horses
raised. As a business the breeding of
fast horses is therefore very much of a
lottery; and when we recall the fact that
tho high prices which famous colts have
brought have rarely been received by
the men who raised them, the prizes in
breeding and training trotters are few
and uncertain.—[Scientific American,
A Remarkable Ivy.
The property ivy has of adapting it
self to oiroumstances is most strikingly
illustrated by an incident related by
Miss Strickland. The body of Catliu-
rine Parr, buried at Sudley, was disin
terred, through curiosity, on several oc
casions. The last time the coffin was
opened, “ it was discovered that a
wreath of ivy had entwined itself
around the temples of the royal corpse.
A berry had fallen there at the time of
the previous exhumation, taken root,
and then silently, from day to day,
woven itself into this green sepulohral
coronal.”— Chambers’ Journal.
