SHEEP —RAISING.

sheep raiser must produce the kinds
that are in demand. rl'o this end he

breeds that moot with the readiest

are to be kept tO the tied:use:n.3 of' all
Others. Even of those, only the hest
developed, longest and heaviest
should bo kept es breeders.
'MO question of shelter is another

other animals, should bokept in
comfortable quarters et night during

Mr. iiriton Riviere, R.A., Is de-

in spite of his early success, :he waif
for some years compelled to main=

Disease.

The German meilical journals re-
port that some remarkable cures of.
rnild caps of appendicitis are being
made by, a new method of treadle;
the -disease before the knife is needed.
Certainly it is an original, almost
an ebroiginal method.
lt is nothing loss than to require
the patient to walk on all fours for
twenty minutes four times a day. It
is claimed • that certain muscles
around the vermiform appendix • are:
brought into play and strengthened
by this quadrupedal cure, which Etre
unused when a biped walks erect.
Others are relaxed and the localized
inflammation has Opportunity to
subside.
A well-known diplomat, celebrated
for his hatigetiness and punetilious-
loss, was cured of appendicitis by
this method lately. I-fis Associates,

DIDN'T GUESS.
'On the journey from Vienna. to St.
Petersburg, Cumberland, the well-
known anti -spiritualist and thoinsht-
reader, entertained his follow -Passen-
gers by guessing thole thoughts.
Ono of the travellers, a Polish .Jew,
Who • took the whole, thing as e.hceue,
offered to pay Cumberland the 'sum
of fifty roubles if he could divine his
thoughts:

clare eourself a bankrupt and com-
pelled with your creditors for 8 per

.On bearing these words the Jew
gtteed at the &Jolter with reverential
awe. Ho then, without etitering 11

the fifty roubles. Whereupon the mae
