TRALL4. -Advices from Melbourne state
that abundant supplies of fat sheep and
cattle had brought them to " boiling -
down prices." The process of exporting
fresh meat in tin canisters has led to
disastrous losses, and a conviction; that
the prices obtained in London during the
past two years did not leave quite one
'penny per pound. as net proceeds of the
mutton. Government statistics of the
various colonies show that from the 31st
December, 1.86.1, when this industry was
established,.- to the 31st of December,
1873, sheep in Australia and Tasmania
had increased from 38,896,098 to 45,796,
270 ; cattle from 3,574,133 to 5,123,458.
It was estimated that the natural in-
crease of 1874 'would bring the number of
sbeep to 50,000.000: cattle to 5,750,000,
making the increase of sheep in seven
years, 11,000,000 ; of cattle, 2,200,000,
after supplying ' the population and
slaughtering for export of meat and tat -
low during that period. 5,600,000 sheep
and 85,900 cattle. In New Zealand in
the above six years sheep had increased.
from 8,418,579 to 12,684,863; cattle from
312,886 to 494,113.
A PREMONITION. OF DEATIL- An ex-
change gives' a painful instance. of a man
having a premonition of death one Mr.
Fortescue.. One day he came home and
told his wife that he was convinced he
should the within. 48 hours. He saw the
undertaker, arranged for his funeral,
bought a handsome satin -lined coffin, and
wrote out a list of pall -bearers. He
selected a tombstone bearing a represen-
tation of a flower wita broken stern,
ll
and the legend, " No lost, but gone be-
fore ;" and at the cemetery he designat-
ed a spot where his mother was laid, nn -
der the green trees, for . a tomb, at the
same time giving directions that violets
should be planted about him in the ear-
ly spring. 1t was very melancholy.
This occurred in 184.1. Mr. Fortescue
is still alive and well, and is the excellent
landlord of a large hotel.
however, moat fortunate that you did.
so- My wife told me of her unjust sus-
picions, arid, in a moment of remorse,
exclaimed : ` John, I set Pollaky to
watch you.' ` My dear,' said I, I also
act Pollaky to watch you.' Nothing
could be more affecting than their mutual
confessions. Thanks to Pollaky, there
is at least one happy couple in the world:
His modest boast is that he has in his
employment gentlemen who will "walk
with you, and about you, and up you,
and down you, and you will not know

The Shah's Jewels.
(Froin the. Friend of India.)
The Shah's strong box consists of a
small room, twenty by eleven feet,
reached by •a steep stair, and ,entered
through a very small door. Here,
;spread upon carpets, lie jewels valued at
87,000,000. ,Chief among the lot is the
Kaianian crown, shaped like a flower-
pot, and topped by an uncut ruby as
large as a hen's egg, and supposed to
have come fro Siam. Near the crown
are two Iamb -skin caps, adorned with a
splendid girdle of diamonds, and before
them he trays of pearl, ruby, and emer-
ald necklaces, and hundreds of rings.
Mr- Eastwick,; who examined the whole.
states that in addition to these there are
taiintlets and bells covered with pearls
and diamonds, and conspicuous among
them the Kaianian bell, about a foot
deep, . weighing, perhaps, eighteen
pounds, and one complete mass of pearls,-
diamonds,
rls,diamonds, emeralds and rubies. One or
two scabbards of swords are said to be
worth a quarter of a million each. There
is also the finest torquoise in the world,
three or four inches long, and without a
flaw ;, and I remarked. a- smaller one of
-unique beauty three-eighths of an inch
broad ; the color was lovely and alinost
as refreshing to the eyes as Persian poets
pretend. There are also many sapphires
as bid as marbles, and rubies and pearls
the size of walnuts , and. I am certain I
counted 100 emeralds from half an inc
h
square to one and three -fourth inches
long and an inch broad. In the swore
scabbard, which is covered with dia-
monds, thereis not, perhaps, a single
stone Smaller than the nail of a pian s
little finger- Lastly-, there is an emerald
as big as a walnut, covered, with the

DANGER FROM COAL STOVES. --With
a little care, furnaces can be soregulat-
ed as to prevent the escape of noxious
gases, but stoves placed in a sleeping
room are aiway a source of danger. The
slow combustion with closed drafts,
which is favorable to making the coal
last as long as possible, produces a large
quantity of carbonic oxide. •If this is
not burned before it escapes into the air
of the room, death is liable to occur in a
shortftime. To the wakeful its odor is a
suffiioient warning, but instead of 'awak-
ing the sleeper it lulls to .fatal repose.
The safest way is never to sleep in the
room with a coal stove, unless there is an
open window t� dispel the dangerous
gases,
Having greatly enlarged bis premises, daring
the winter, he is now prepared to pay the
