Wealth in Sheep.

eultural and stock -raising capabilities
of the Australian islands, a correspond-

I prefer, when treating of the mighty
squattersflocks and herds, to Ueal in
generalities, just as did the A erican
pig -breeder who, at early morn, ntered
the sleeping apartment of a gues whom
he entertained over night, and whose
attentions at supper -time to 'h s mar-
riageable and on -hand daught r were
somewhat pronounced, flung 0 en the
window, and disclosed, stretchinc north,
east, south and west an almost illimi-
table prospect of complacently unting
swine. "There," he exclainied "the
man as pleases our Polly has hal them
hogs." In degree; the Aust alasian
squatter's sheep are as innu erable.
That makes him proud—and jus ifiably
proud. His "mobs" of horne cattle
may be huge; his taste in horeefl sh may
be pretty ; he may rear race -hors or im-
port Clydesdales; but, after all, he four
corner stones of his prosperity ire his
sheep. Sometimes he dreams neasily
of drought: but, waking up in th morn-
ing to find perchance a drench' g rain
pouring down, he rubs- his hand glee-
fully, and murmurs. "Aha 'th wool's
growing I the wool's growing !" 1 If the
squatter be hard pressed for ready
money there are financial. associations
which will make him cash -advances on
his dip "—that is to say, he ma pawn
the wool which. is 'growing on thel backs
of his sheep. No wonder, then, from
King George's sound to Brisban —far-
ther north. lie talks sugar—he ta s wool
and thinks wool; exultstsvhen it i "up,"
despcmds. when it is " down " in the
market. For the mere carca.ss of the
animal, worth only a few shillin s the
large squatter does not care much 'Tis
the fleece and not the meat which when
a long drought has • been suace ed by
two or three good seasons, giv s him
the power, not only of paying if his
mortgagee and getting his titl -deeds
out of the strong -rooms of the o ankt,
but of becoming, within an aston shing-
ly brief space of time, rich beyo d the
dreams of avarice. But in Ne Zea-
land, with its thirteen millions of heep,
the thoughts, the aspirations if the
stockholder are bent, not only on wool,
but on mutton. He compassiona es the
sad fate of his British brother at home,
doomed bythe tyrannieal retail b tcher
to pay from 11 pence to 1 shil ing a
pound for leg of mutton. WI y, he
can send his British brother froze I, mut-
ton which at the port of shipmen shall
cost only 3 pence a pound—mut on of
prime quality, not to be distinguished in
nature and excellence from the home-
bred article. The New Zealand rozen
Meat And Storage company in ueen
:sheet, Auckland, whose worksel ecent-
lt visited, consign immense quaut ties of
fr Jam mutton to theBritish isles. Noth-
iee can be more scientific nor mo e ex-
qeisitely cleanly than the man er in
eich the newly -slaughtered ea casses
af frozen and packed in linen sa ks for
sa wage in the refrigerating cham o ers of
the great steamers which take the Meat
lenne. By the way, is there not a cu-
r`yetely prophetic vision of a meat-freez-
ihe and preserving establishment some-
weere in Captain Marryat's "P. ha of
Many tales?" The New Zealand rozen
Meat company at Auckland ar also
• vnufacturers on a very extensiv scale
ot tinned meats and soups' ° of all 1. inds,
mid the corned beef which they p epare
L in particular excellent, Still t e dis
rectors of the cerapany, like Mr. Toole
in the burlesque, "are not happy.' New
Zealand frozen mutton is getting good -
mune in Eng/and; its consu ption
should innnensely increase every year;
but the trade is overweighed, a d the
profits of the shippers diminishe a! in a
cerresponding degree, by too ma by dis-
tributors and middlemen, and ey the
heavy freights—something like 17 a
tou—which the exporters have to gay the
great steamship companies for th con-
veyence of their meat. to England The
fe.zen mutton trade, in a word, pays,
but does not pay the New Zeala.n pro-
ducer so handsomely as it should o. It
ie consoling, however, to reflect t at the
trade is as yet virtually in its in any,
and is capable of enormous exp nsion.
Henri Quartre benevolently long d for
the day when every peasant in h s do -
;wham should have on- Sunday la ponle
au pot -a fowl in his saucepan. burely
ta day should arrive, as New Z eland
cotnea more to the front with her inex-
haustible supplies of frozen utton,
when every English workingma will

The Tunnel Under the Se ern.
The tunnel is 26 feet wide, .„O feet
high from the rails to the crown la the
areh inside the brick work, and has a
double line of rails laid on longi udinal
sleepers. More than a mile of it has
been excavated through the - har Pen-
nant sandstone and the coal me sures;
half a mile through ong1omerati over-
lyiug the Pennant ; half a mile the
shale of the coal measures, with 1 some
beds of coal twelve inches thick, nd the
rest was. through the red marl of ti e new
red sandstone. About four and quar-
ter miles of actual tunneling :a e be-
neath the bed of the river, and in the
journey on Saturday the whole f this
was found as perfectly dry as th floor
of a room, the only sign of wate • from
Leakage from the once troubleson e land
springs on the Monmouthshire side,
near what is known as the Fis e -mile
Fear Chain Shaft, where the great spring
was tapped in 1883, when this art of
the works was flooded. The le ka,ge,
however, was very slight. and it ill be
easily stopped by aalking a d " ce-
ment work similar in character to the
plan adopted beneath the river The
cover or depth of the strata betw en the
river bed and the crown of the tunnel
has minimum of 30 feet. At thi point
there is adways 55 feet of water o er the
tunnel even at low tide, while t high
tide this is inereaaed to no less than 92
r•
feet. Seventy-five millions of bricks
have been used in lining the tunnel
throughout with Staffordshire or veri-
fied brick set in cement. This arched
crown or wall has a thickness of three
feet in the deepest part of the work be-
neath the shoots, but as the tunnel rises
from the lowest point the thickness is
gradually reduced to two feet and three
inches; 700,000 cubic yards of material
have been excavaeed, chiefly through
rock, anslfrom commencement to finish
the work has in all been .spread over a
period of twelve years, but the present
contractor has been in possession of the
work only five and a .holf years. A
powerful fan, forty feet in diameter, has
to be ereeted. to complete the ventila-
tion, and some cutting on ,the Glouces-
tershire side, together with the junction
with the main lines and the doubling of
of portions of the line from Patchway,
have to be finished before the tunnel
will be opened for- traffic, probably in
two or three months.—London Times.

Rivalry in the DinneiT Businiiss.
. New York Letter!.
The most careful of adju ters was the
Italian whom I saw in the great Wash-
ington market. He was going from
stall to stall, literally no ing out bar-
gains in fish, fowl and veg =tables. 'His
sense of smell was his gun e in making
*purchases. He sought thir gs that were
not yet in decay, but won d be on the
nsorrow. In that way he secured very
low, prices. The sage] s which he
bought -at half rates, or tti 1 lower,were
those which the dealer tVo kl_have lost
all to4ether if not sold th t day. The
quantities purchased were considerable,
and I was curious to know what was to
be done with them. .
- "He is the caterer for one of the
table d'hote dinners," said the butcher
of whom I inquired. " They buy
mighty close, these fellows., They can't
be fooled in the least. They can tell by
sniffing ata turkey that it isn't tainted
yet, but will be in a few hours ; and
a
having bought the ;owl at a fractien of
the market pric f .1. prime best, they
get it cooked an4 d wn the throats of
their customers be ore the proccss of
rotting has time to airly begin. It is
the same way with 311 they buy. How
else could they mak,. any money ?"
The rivalry in he business of dinners
at a stated pric hs indeed become a
wonder of the in tr polls. I ate a 65 -
cent meal of this am t yesterday on trial.
The place was a Iclean, commodious,
well-furnishedrestaurant and the men
and women at the t bles were fashion-
able enough in dre a and manners—for
it has become a rag to eat these table
d'hote dinners. Th courses were, first,
beef soup; second boiled weakfish;
third, maccaroni Wi h grated cheese, in
the Italian style no v so much affected
by New York, epi utes ; fourth, roast
fillet of beef, with •lives ; fifth, broiled
quail on toast wit t salad; sixth, ice
cream; seventh, co ee and cheese. Not
a thing was poor in quality or mean in
in quantity; the co kery was excellent
and the service wa by a polite, quick
waiter. Think of all that for 65 cents!
Two additional dim s bought a pint of
tolerable claret. It 's "only by this kind
of marketing that I have described,
along with the utmo t economy in cook-
ing and carving, tha these Italians are
able to pen such meals so cheaply.
They are bearin " the restaurant
quotations, and el ters are eagerly
taking advantage of the abnormal con-
ditions.
—An invention ha been exhibited in
London, which inay e of great use in
future warfare. It onsists of the ap-
plication of electric 1 ghting to balloons
for the purpose of fl shing signals over
great distances. Th balloon is made as
translucent as possil le the lights beimg
inside, and the rope by which the cap-
• tive balloon is secure 1 contains wires to
transmit the electr c current. The
Morse system is us d, long and short
flash -es corresponding to dashes and. dots.
—The arrest last S turday night, at
Boston, of CharleS H. West, for twelve
years book keeper o the Ames Plow
Company, and his co' fession that it was
he who blew open' an robbed the safe
of the tient at midni ht, January 4th,
was a genuine surrisp to the detectives,'
who have believe( thhi job was the work
of the notorious 1 New England gang.
West is a.fine appeari g young man of
33, and has a charming young wife and
one child. His c4nfetsion is a remark-
able one. "1 did the job because I
wanted money," said ihe. "My salary ,
was only $12 a week and my
creditors were bothering me all the
time. I had read in the newspapers
how safes were cracked., and it canie
into my head that I !might safely get
what money I needed in some such
-way." He then gave the details of the
robbery.
. Catarrh—a New Treatment.
Perhaps the Most e4raordinary sueoess that
has been achieved in modern medicine has been
attained by the Dixon Treatment for Catarrh.
Out of 2,000 patients treated during the past six
months, fully ninety per cent, have been cured
of this stubborn malady. This is none the less
startling when it is reMembered that no five per
centof patients presenting themselves to the
regular practitioner are benefitted, while the
patent medicines and Other advertised cures
never record a cure at allL Starting with the
claim now generallybelieved by the' most scien-
tific men that the distasais due to the presence
of Heine- parasites in the tissue, Mr. Diann at
onee adapted his cure .to their extermination—.
ehis accomplished, he claims the Catarrh is prac-
tically cured, and the permanency is unquestion-
td, as cures effected by ,hina four years ago are
mires still. No one elee has ever attempted to
cure Catarrh in this m nner, and no other treat;
ment has ever cured ataarh. The application
of the remedy is simp e, and can be done at
.home, and the present season. et the year. -is the
most favorable for a seedy and permanent cure,
the majority of eases 1eing. cured at one treat -
Meet. Sufferers should correspond with Messrs.
