On August 20. last a representative "shipment , of lambs was made to Winnipeg. These were graded and sold as follows: 183 first -grade lambs averaging 85+i lbs. in Winnipeg sold at 8:ic pet pound. 10 heavy lambs averaging 1004 lbs. sold at 71c. 20 third-grade lambs averaging 79 lbs. sold at 6c. Inaddition to these, 96 ewe lambs exhibited at the fair were sold for breeding purposes. There will probable be twenty car- loads of' lambs shipped from the dis- trict before the season is over. The breeders of this section have been fol- lowing the practice of marketing their lambs when ready, and by having the lambs dropped in March and . April, shipments have been going forward to Winnipeg market during July, Au- gust and September, before the big rush of lambs conies on the stock- yards for sale. Sheep breedingRainy in the River District has filled a great need. Cloy- er hay is produced in abundance and the market for this has usually been not very remunerative, These sheep are carried through in good condition and the farmers, by following the practices of dipping, decking and cas- trating, coupled with the use of pure- bred sires largely of Oxford and Shropshire breeding, have produced a product second to none' on our public TOM TfiUMB Romantic Story of the Smallest Mau In the World,—Weighed Only ..15 Pounds. The lite story of Oen,. Tors Thumb, the smallest man in the world, le one of the rnost romantic stories of the Victorian Age, Tom Thumb was discovered by tha: great showman, Barnum, who id reputed to have made $750,000 by exhibiting him, When he appeared at the old Egyptian Hall in Piceadilly the e to were p w 6 $3,000 a day: The title of "General Tom Thumb" was given the dwarf by Barnum, but his real name was Charles S. Strat- ton. He was just 25 inches high, per- fect and elegant In his proportions, and weighing only 1,5 pounds.' `When standing on the floor, or parading the room, which he does, dressed in a style of Bond Street ele- ganee," wrote a journalist of the time, "his head scarcely reaches to the knees of a person of ordinary eta- ture, and is about on a level with the seats of the chairs, sofas and of- tomans'of the drawing -room, ' "Unlike many other dwarfs," con- tinues the writer, ecstatically, "the Genes 1 a is exquisitely proportioned, his head • being not. large, but of . the proper symmetry, and beautifully -de- veloped, and his .hands and feet are the prettiest ever seen. His boots are perfect Wellingtons, : made of the softest kid by the most fashionable artists, "His clothes are the production of the most distinguished tailors, and his gloves are of necessity: furnished to order, for nothing so small and fairy-like were ever before -manufac- tured. . His canes, of which he has e e s y cal, are from ten to twelve inches long, and his hats, for the various oc- casions, are, of themselves, curiosi- ties." Soon after Tom Thumb' appeared. in London he was honored by a cora- named to appear before. Queen Vic- toria and Prince Albert at Bucking- ham Palace. He toured Scotland and Ireland and, besides . being a great favorite. he amassed a considerable fortune. When he went to Paris, a. play -was specially wri'.ten for him. Then carte the time when Gen. Tom Thumb fell violently in love: The woman was also a dwarf, 24 Inches high. and at the time of her meeting with the General, twen.y-one years old. She was an American, and also discovered by Barnum. Her name was Lavinia Warren. One day, happening to visit Nevi York, Tom, Thumb called upon Bar- num. met Lavinia, and immediately became a victim of her charms. He pleaded. with Barnum to say a good word for him with the little lady. Barnum refused and said he must do his own courting. He also warned him .that he had a rival in another dwarf named Commodore Nutt. Tom Thumb was a believer that "Saint heart neer won fair lady," and started his wooing with plenty of confidence. Be' was by this time a rich man and had plenty of leisure. He used to meet thelittle lady with his earriage and ponies, and take her for drives. Eventually he proposed. Lavinia repied that she loved him, but could not agree to marry hien without the consent of her parents. "You know," she said archly, "that mother objects to your moustache. "I will eut that oft, and my eye- brows also, if that will induce you to give an alfrmateve answer ' to my question," said the little man gal- lantly. No time was lost in ascertaining the' opinion of the parents of Miss Warren, The report was favorable. The marriage of the dwarfs became the topic of conversation in all circles and the wedding itself became an af- fair of the season in New York. Most of the little people in the show business, as well as Minnie Warren and Commodore Nutt, also dwarfs, attended. at the altar. A year after the marriage, Tom Thumb's wife gave birth to a daugh- ter, which, at the time of its birth, weighed only three pounds. It was a healthy child, but a sudden attack of meningitis ,at the age of two and a half killed it. Then Tom Thumb died. Mrs. Tom Thumb subsequently married Count Primo Magri. •nw .• AMUSING INCIDENTS., Photographer Dropped Coin Down Sentry's Boot. markets. Just now, while London is parts- eularly full of visitors, A.m,erieans, country cousins, and what not, the mounted sentries in.. Whitehall have to endure a tremendous amount of camera sniping. Their immobility is one of their attraietions, and, of course, they cannot, while on duty, take any notice of remarks or Ques- tions directed to them. It is stated that lately an amateur photographer, grateful to such an ideal sitter, dropped a coin down the long boot of one of the Lifeguards- men—and doubtless discipline' for- bade him to object or to express thanks! ' A yet more amusing and rather less creditable story was told a Yew years ago, to the efteet that some country girls, having vainly tried to induce the sentry to respond to their chaff, suddenly offered a bun to his horse, and that the animal followed the temptress a few yards down the pavement! One can only wonder what the rider was doing meanwhile, and. senile, As a consequence of the continual friction of iron shoes, grooves have been worn where the four hoofs rest, and the Guardsmen will tell you that as his horse takes up its position he feels it shuffle its feet to settle them comfortably in the little -depression made by uncounted predecessors.

Place.—The temple in Jerusalem, •PRAISE.FOR JESUS And behold, there was a rnan in Jerusalem, whose naive was Simeon., "Many have attempted to identify. this Simeon (1) with Rebhan Simeon, the son of Hliel and the father of Gamaliel, who was president of the Sanhedrin, 13 A,D.; (2) with an aged Essene, who was living after the. death of Herod, . and who rebuked Archclatis for, marrying his brother's widow. The name, however, was a very common one, and, all that we really know of this Simeon is told us in this chapter." Andthis man was righteous and devout. He was upright in his dealings and accurate in his observance of the Jewish laws, a man of model character. Looking for the consolation of Israel. "The consolation of Israel" was a 'common expression . for. the Messiah, having its origin in Ise• 40:1: '49: 13, "Com- fort ye, comfort ye my people," etc. And the Holy Spirit was upon him. God's Holy Spirit, the third person of the .blessed Trinity, filled this man, giving him the faculty of prophetic insight which he displayed in the case of the Christ' child. This great gift to Simeon may become the possession of of any obedient and 'Irving Christian, And it had been revealed unto him by the Holy Spirit. He had evidently been longing for light on the coming of the Messiah, and had been much in prayer on the subject so that the revelation was granted him in res- ponse to his prayer and his longing. That he should not see death, before he had seen the Lo5 d's Christ. That is, Jehovah's Anointed, the Messiah sent from God. The implication is that when he had seen the Christ, he should die, and this it also implied in verse 29. It is the tradition that Simeon was 113 years old. And he came in the Spirit into the temple. The Holy Spirit, under whose full control Simeon was, mov- ed word, in peace. "Death will be as a sleep to a laboring man, For mine eyes have seen thy sal- vation, T -ow many, after all these glorious centuries 'of Christiantiy, are blindto the ; salvation which Simeon saw, at the very beginning.

MEETING JESUS' TESTS. And his father and his mother were znarvelling at the things which were spoken concerning him. They were wondering at what Simeon was saying both as coining from a stranger, and because of the boundless extent of benefits which he predicted from it, reaching to the ends of the world." And Simeon blessed them. He prayed for God's blessingupon thein. And said unto Mary his mother. The mother of the child of whotn Simeon was " speaking. Behold, this child is set for the falling anil rising of many in Israel. Christ through all the cen- turies has been a stone of testing to mankind.
