DORSET SHEEP.
A Superior Breed For the Production of
M uttou.
The size of Dorset sheep is medium
to large, weights of mature rams reach¬
ing from 200 to 300 pounds and mature
ewes from 125 to 175 pounds. It is not
always the largest specimens that are
the most valuable. Of the wool I would
say first that the quality is of the very
highest, and being of extremely light
shrinkage and of very strong and even
fiber and with a nice crimp it makes a
soft, strong article of clothing. There
is no better nor more valuable wool
than Dorset wool, and from Woodland
farm we have always sold Dorset wool
at a premium of 2 cents per pound bet¬
ter than the highest priced medium
wools.
When it comes to weight of fleece, it
is different, as tho Dorset sheep can
mako no claim to being an extremely
heavy shearer, not that they are mark¬
edly deficient, but naturally where the
wool is freo frpm grease and gum it
weighs lighter. Some Dorsets are not
covered all over as sheep should bo.
Their deficiency is most apparent on
tho legs and belly. It would seem as
though the English Dorset breeders had
not paid much attention to the covering
of their flocks. In spite of this I sup¬
pose that a good flock of Dorset sheep
would shear as many pounds of scoured
wool us a flock of any other mutton
sheep in proportion—that is, to the
weight of the sheep composing tho flock.
When it comes to quality of mutton,
you have reached the Dorset’s strong
tid/md fc

DORSET RAM.
point. There is hardly a superior to tho
Dorset sheep from the standpoint of tho
mutton producer, and especially of tho
producer of very young mutton, spring
lambs or hothouse lambs. In fact tho
truth should be constantly borne in
mind that the Dorset is at its greatest
perfection and should go to the market
at 100 days or even at an earlier age. I
think without question Dorset mutton
marketed at that time will return moro
clear profit to its producer than any oth¬
er mutton of whatever breed or age in
the United States today.
This faculty of producing tiptop
lambs is naturally most noticeablo in
tho use of the Dorset ewe, and it may
be that she will produce a finer lamb
when mated with a Hampshire, South-
down or Oxford sire than were she to
be bred to a pure bred Dorset ram. This
is a general practice in Dorsetshire I
am told. The Dorset sire, however, is
able to mako a good showing when
crossed on ewes of other breeds, and
not infrequently he has been a surprise

Russian* and Their Horses.
The land where animals are raised in
large numbers is not always the land
where they are best loved. Russia, how¬
ever, which is the greatest horse breed¬
ing country in the world, is the conntry
where the horse is both loved and ap¬
preciated. A writer in The Road says:
“I never in all my wanderings saw a
pony or steed of any sort that seemed to
be in bad condition through ill usage.
The drosky drivers of Moscow put our
London cabmen to shame in this re¬
spect. They may abuse each other vocif¬
erously, they may cheat you roundly,
but they never abuse their horses. The
supply of fine horses makes it a constant
luxury to travel in Russia. The popula¬
tion is chiefly dependent upon the taran-
tass, or rough, partly hooded van; the
telga, or country cart; the little dros¬
ky and the capital troika, or three horse
carriage. Nothing delights a driver so
much as dashing along at headlong
speed, with three spirited horses har¬
nessed to a troika. With the whips
cracking, the bells ringing, the driver
singing at the top of his voice, the two
outer horses flying off at an angle as
wide as possible, the troika in full speed
is a splendid sight. In Siberia the driv¬
ing is so furious, the mountain roads
being as rough as they aro steep, that
the traveler is constantly amazed at his
immunity from accident.”
Plain Horse*.
Some of tbe best horses that have
run on the turf have been of plain if
not positively coarse appearance. They
have, however, invariably had good
strains of blood in them. The celebrated
Blink Bonny, says Stonehenge, was a
mean looking mare and would not hav*
fetched $150 at Tattersali’s from her
appearance alone, and that wonderful
animal Fisherman was never liked un¬
til he proved his powers. The most use¬
ful looking horse is not seldom wanting
in beauty of contour. Utility and ele¬
gance of form aie not invariable com¬
bined. High breeding is of more conse¬
quence than externa] shape. Most per¬
sons will agree with the authority men-
tioned that “of two horses, one perfect
in shape, but of an inferior strain of
blood and the other of the most win¬
ning blood, but not so well formed in
shape, tbe latter will be the most likely
to perform to the satisfaction of his
owner. On this principle the proveib
has been framed and banded down to
ns that ‘an ounce of blood is worth a
pound of bone, * and with the above ex-
fep tion such is really fhc cige. ”
FREE.
A winter prisoner, loath and long,
From sun and song,
One sapphire hearted morningtide I heard
A jubilant word,
A mellow music syllable from a tree
Bpring's herald robin caroled clear to ml—
“Free’ Oh, free!"
Ah, with what iterant lustihood,
What buojant mood,
Ih«. I, the ic« endungeoned one, reply
To that glad cry!
What sudden visions did it bring to me,
What dream delight, what vanished ecstasy J
“Free! Oh, free!”
Once more the melody and mirth
Of the old earth!
Once more the soft warm whisper of the
rain,
The waves of grain,
And all the little laughters that there be
In vine and grass—no more chill secrecy!
“Free! Oh, free!”

PRESERVING THE RUINS.
Final and LmiKlmble End of One of
Ireland's Old Castles.
One of Ireland’s magnificent ruined cas¬
tles came to its final end In this manner.
The ancient scat of the Castlereaghs over¬
looked Lough Swilly, and it was one of
the most princely residences in Ireland.
Eventually it fell into decay and was not
inhabited.
As usual in such circumstances, when
the peasantry wanted to build a pigsty, re-
pair a road or anything of the sort, they
took the stones from tho ruined castle,
which was disappearing piecemeal when
om* day the then Lord Londonderry paid a
visit to his Irish property. When he saw
the state the castle was in and reflected
on the fact that it was so much identified
with the history of his family and even as
a ruin was a glory of Ireland, he deter-
mined to put a stop to the encroachments
that had been made upon it.
Sending for his agent to give him orders
that the people were no longer to remove
stones from the building, he Instructed
him to have the place inclosed with a wall
six feet high and well coped to keep out
trespassers. That being done, he went hi*
way and did not return to Ireland for
threo or four years lie then found, to hi*
amazement, that tho old castle had com-
pletely disappeared, and in its place there
was a big wall inclosing nothing. Send-
ing for tho agent, he demanded to know
why his orders had not been carried out.
The agent insisted that they had been.
“Hut where is the castle?” demanded
the marquis.
“The castle, is it? Bedad, I built, the
wall with it, my lord! Is it for me to be
going miles for materials with the finest
stones in Ireland beside me?”
In telling the man to build the wall
Lord Londonderry had said nothing what¬
ever about preserving the castle, which i*
now a thing of the past. Nevertheless the
wall is a good one.—London Tit-Bits.
The Great Boat Itaee In London.
Toward tho middle of March London
suddenly becomes an arrangement in blue.
The race is fixed for the second Saturday
beforo Easter, when the Londoner, who
has passed weeks and months without
holiday or pageant, is in the humor to
mako the most of it. And London deco¬
rates itself in anticipation. The draper'*
window becomes a harmony in blue. So
does tho stationer’s; so does the milli¬
ner’s; so does all Regent street; so do
Oxford street, Piccadilly, Kensington. In
tho Strand and Oheapslde the fakir put*
away his penny bagpipes and his shirt
studs and his toys and brings out trays of
tiny light and dark blue buttonhole buds.
The railway companies print their time
tables in light and dark blue, and the
papers, if they do not change the color of
their ink, out down police news and liter¬
ary notes to devote the space to daily ac¬
counts of the crews out for practice, and
the columns of personal gossip are filled
with descriptions of the men, their food
and their fancies. The condition of No. 6
is of more importance than the health of
the prime minister and the blister on the
finger of a stroke more serious than a de¬
feat in India. About 99 out of every 100
people in London have something staked
upon the race, for the Londoner is a born
gambler, though his gambling has been
officially suppressed, possibly the reason
of its never failing charm for him.—Mrs.
Elizabeth Robins Pennell in Century.
That Bothersome “H.”
Speaking of the letter “h,” a writer in
the Rochester Post-Express says: “Curi¬
ously enough, the ‘h’ is not dropped north
of Yorkshire, and Scotland, with charac¬
teristic thriftiness, takes the utmost care
of it. Ireland is prodigal in emphasizing
it, and, so far as I know, the colonies are
also sound on this point. Only England
refuses to aspirate. Sometimes her con¬
sistent inaccuracy in this matter is amus¬
ing enough. the
“For example, there is a village in
eastern counties which rejoices in the
name of Haw. A parishioner was asked
what he thought of a strange preacher
who had been holding a service in the vil¬
lage. said, ‘I liked the gentle-
Well,; he
man ’Is tex’was just suited to us folk.’
.
‘Why, what was his text?’
‘It were a tex’ from the psalms,
“Stand in hawe and sin not”—it sounded
so ’omely loike.’ ”
A Cheery Old Savage.
The lord chief justice of Abyssinia is
described by a correspondent of The St.
James Gazette as a cheery old gentleman,
dressed in a huge black hat, with a green
silk handkerchief tied around his head un¬
derneath the hat, black silk cloak em¬
broidered with gold, smart purple silk skirt
underneath and continuations of the fair¬
est linen. He was also armed with a long
sword in a red scabbard, and his squires,
running alongside, carried his rifle and
gold mounted shield.

Woman and Her Checkbook.
Ask the paying teller of a leading bank
how the modern woman transacts bust-
ness in the institution where he is employ-
ed, and most likely he will tell you that
she causes less trouble than a good many
men, says the Chicago Chronicle. As a
matter of fact, there is .hardly anything
which shows the modern woman’s ability
to take care of herself more than the way
she handles a bank account and the num-
ber of her sex who are acquiring the pro-
prietorship of one. A person has only to
stand for a few minutes in one of the
banks to have ocular demonstration of the
change that is taking place in the com¬
plexion of its depositors.
It is now the commonest thing to see a
young woman gowned in the height of
fashion and looking as if the thought of
anything more serious than a pink tea or
a season of grand opera had never occur¬
red to her step up to one of the desks pro
vided for the accommodation of custom¬
ers, draw a checkbook from her reticule,
coolly and collectively gather up one of
those ancient pens which have borne the
weight of the fists of weii known finan-
ciers and write in the most nonchalant
and accustomed manner a check for the
amount she feels sho will need.
A Valuable Collection,
There is at Gmunden, the beautiful
country seat of the Duke and Duchess of
Cumberland, one of the finest collections
of plate and of jewels in tho world—in
fact, so enormous is tho value of the for
mer that no insurance office would under¬
take the risk of insuring flho late king of
Hanover’s plate when it was being trans¬
planted in specially built cases from Han-
over and from England to Austria, and all
sorts of extraordinary stories are rife on
the continent as to certain pieces in the
collection. There is a gold set of furniture,
which includes a jeweled tree or bush,
which can be used as a centerpiece In the
middle of the banquet table. As to jewels
and gems, they are worth a king’s ransom
and include the famous set of pearls,
valued at £150,000, which was worn by
the queen during the first half of her life,
but which her majesty yielded up to her
cousin, the late king of Hanover, owing
to the opinions expressed by high legal au-
thorities, who held that these jewels were
the private property of Queen Charlotte,
wife of George III. The Duchess of Cum-
berland, who has much of her sister the
Princess of Wales’ charm of manner and
who retains a great look of youth, is the
mother of six children.
TlironisH Gii*llfili Eyes.
The American girl may do anything,
and in particular she may receive atten¬
tions from men which abroad could only
mean one thing—an impending engage¬
ment. She is perfectly free to be taken to
theaters and to restaurants and to receive
chocolates at frequent Intervals. And
these things may mean nothing at all.
The American girl is supposed not to bo
anxious to get married. But once she is
married all these little affairs must cease.
In America the married woman is gov¬
erned by a very strict codo. Men over
there are said to be anxious to marry, and
when they are married they assume that
their wives require no male sooiety out-
sido themselves. The contrast between
American and English society is thus very
marked:
In America—
Men want to marry.
The married woman is a nonentity.
The young girl is supreme in society.
In England—
Men don’t want to marry.
The girl is almost a nonentity.
The young married woman is su¬
preme in society.—English Ex¬
change.
“She la My Dictionary.”
The wife of the sculptor Flaxman was
greatly responsible for her husband’s suo-
oess. Sir Joshua Reynolds, chancing to
meet Flaxman soon after his wedding,
said to him that his marriage was a mis¬
take, since it would ruin him as an artist.
On reaching home Flaxman sat down by
his wifo, took her hand in his and said:
‘‘Ann, I am ruined as an artist.”
“How so, John?” said she. “How did
it happen, and who has done It?”
“It happened in the church, and Ann
Denman has dope it.”
Then Ann declared that great he should
become and that no one should say, “Ann
Denman ruined Flaxman for an artist.”

THE MOUNTAINS OF THE
SOUTH.
An Interesting Discription of the
Impressive Appalachian
Ranges.
In the volume, “The Empire of
the South,” a superb octavo book
of about two hundred pages, ex-
quisitly illustrated, just published
by the Southern Railway, there is
a most interesting chapter upon
the Appalachian range of moun¬
tains. From advance sheets of the
book we quote as follows :
“No other mountain region is to
be in any way compared with the
magnificent section in the western
portion of North Carolina and east¬
ern Tennessee poetically callled
t« The Land of the Sky.” Here
are forty-three distinct peaks high¬
er than Mount Washington, eighty
which are more than five thousand
feet in altitude, and countless scores
exceeding four thousand. From
one of these “fortresses of nature”
seven different states may be seen
and the eye may bring within its
span fifty thousand square miles, a
wild billowy area where range af-
ter range of forest-clad peaks follow
each other as waves chase up a

The Appalachians, as the various
mountain ranges are called which
constitute the great eastern border
mountains of North America, and
reach their highest altitudes in
western North Carolina and east-
ern Tennessee, originated ages ago
in process of upheaval aud were
completed just after the close of the
carboniferous period. They are
composed of great masses of sedi-
mentary rock which once lay be-
neath the sea. Their history is a
long one, and to the geologist and
the physiographer one of great in-
terest. The arrangement of narrow
valleys and linear ridges presented
in this mountain system is such as
to make a type of topography
which is nowhere else on earth so
characteristically and extensively
devclo P ed - The Appalachians have
generally a south-westerly and a
north-easterly trend for over one
thousand miles, and extend from
southern New York through the

ESTABLISHED 1807.
Through Virginia, North and
South Carolina and part of Geor¬
gia the western limit of the Pied¬
mont Plain is along an irregular
line in which the gentle slope of the
etched plain changes to the steeper
slopes of the Blue Ridge.
The most striking characteristic
of this range is the great difference
in slope of its opposite sides. The
streams heading in the gap6 upon
the divide flow westward in broad,
smoothly rounded and drift-filled
valleys for miles before entering
the narrow rock-cut gorges of their
lower courses. Those flowing east¬
ward on the other hand, plunge
immediately downward in a series
of cascades, falling several thou¬
sand feet in a distance of a few
miles. They have no valleys, only
V shaped gorges until they reach
nearly to the level of the Piedmont
Plain. The difference in slope is
admirably shown on the line of the
g ou thern Railway from Salisbury,
N . c to Ashville. From Ashville
eastvvard the road ascend8 the val-
l ey of the Swannanoa with an easy
gradCj making for the gap . Pas .
sing the divide it deC ends upon the
headwaters of the Catawba by an
intricatd series of loops> winding
back and forth upon the mountain
side> Reaching the leveI of the
Catawba at an a i t j t ude of one thou-
sand four hundred feet , the road
again follows a broad valley with
an eaS y grade down to the Pied-
mon t Plain, which it reaches fifty
miles tQ t he eastward, at an eleva-
tion of a thousand feet,
Compared with the Blue Ridge,
the Unaka Range, in western North
Carolina and eastern Tennessee
( .i The Land of the Sky”), reaches
a considerably greater average al-
titude> and cont ains most of the
higher peaks in the Southern Ap-
palachians. While the former con-
tains only four points above five
thousand feet in altitude, the Una-
kas have a large number above five
thousand, and about two score are
above six thousand. Not only are
they higher, but their slopes are
steeper and their outlines more an-
gular and rugged. The mountains
are equally steep on both sides, and
slopes with a descent from crest to
stream of four thousand feet are
not uncommon. Many high spurs
leave the central chain, and be¬
tween them are deep V shaped ra¬
vines.
From any commanding point
along Unaka Range there may be
seen stretching to the east and
south a great sea ot peaks, ridges
and domes. There is no dominat-
ing range, but most of the peaks
reach nearly the same altitude, and
appear like waves on a choppy
sea, range after range growing less
and less distinct, until their outlines
are barely distinguishable from the
blue sky at the horrizon. The cul-

vated valleys are generally hidden
from view and except for an occa¬
sional clearing on the mountain
sides md the grassy “balds” on a
few of the higher domes, the whole
region appears to be covered with
a forest mantle. Only rarely does
a ledge of naked rock appear
through the vegetation, so that the
slopes are smoothed and softened
tud the landscape lacks the rugged
character of unforested regions.
The atmospheric effects also tend
to produce the same result. The
due t aze, which is almost never
absent from this region, and which
is recognized in the names of both
the Blue Ridge and the Great Smo¬
ky Mountains, softens the details
of objects comparitively near at
hand, and gives the effect of great
distance to peaks but a few miles
away. By reason of this atmos¬
pheric effect these mountains of
only moderate altitude often afford
more impressive views than heights
and distances two or three times
as great in the clear air of the
the West.
A very large number of the in¬
terior summits reach altitudes be¬
tween four thousand and five thou¬
sand feet, and a few are over six
thousand. The Black Mountains,
a few miles north of Ashville, con¬
tain the highest peaks in the Ap¬
palachian Mountains. Mount
Mitchell, six thousand seven hun¬
dred and eleven feet is the highest
point east of the Mississippi, being
four hundred and twenty-five feet
higher than Mount Washington.”
Maria Teresa Coaling.
New York, Oct. 24.—A dispatch
to the Herald from Caimenara, Cu¬
ba, says :
“The armored cruiser Maria Te¬
resa is coaling. The cement worked
in over the patches will be hard¬
ened by Tuesday, and all points
will be watertight.
On account of the wrecked deck
beams, heavy chain cables carried
around both turrets, frapped and
hove taut amidships will be em¬
ployed to take up the fore and aft
strain and in heavy weather wire
hausers will be carried from the
main masthead to the deck.
All the carpenter work is done,
and all other temporary repairs are
so nearly completed that a hundred
Cubans of the working forces have
been discharged.
The engines are in a satisfactory
condition and it is now confidently
expected that the Maria Teresa will
start for the United States on Thurs¬
day.”
