ST SHEEP FARMER. WORLD'S LAR Australia Breeder Will Shear Over 1,250,000 Animals This Season. From the Leeds Mercury. Samual McCaughey of Coonong, Riverina, N. A. W., is the largest sheep farmer in the world, both as regards numbers and, what is more important, quality. He is the most progressite sheep farmer of the age, and hus brought his stock to great perfection. He shears 1,250,000 sheep this season, and would have had more, but lost 250,000 in the drouth two years ago, but thought nothing of ft, as every year he has between 360,000 and 400,000 lambs. At Toorak and Duntop, his stations on the Darling river, he shears 60,000 sheep this year. He bought them from his uncle, Sir Samuel Wilson, and has developed them magnifi- cently. There is literally “water, water, everywhere,” what, with dams, tanks and artesian wells; and all is fenced in and sub- divided into paddocks. The area is about 1,500,000 acres in a ring fence. He has also | fine property in Queensland, on which he is shearing 400,000 sheep. His Coonong station is only his stud farm. It is only 41,000 acres in extent, and he has upon: it Mx) sheep of very high quality, from which he sends annually large drafts to improve the breed on his other properties. Mr. McCaughey is able to boast, as one result cf long-continued efforts, that he has increased the yield of each of his own sheep yearly to the extent cf one peund of clean scoured wool. Now, even at the present low range of prices, a pound of clean scour- ed merino combing is not worth less than | 18 pence, so that it follows that this enter. ‘ prising man has increased his wool returns y upward of £100,000 per annum. These tories of Mr. McCaughey are not merely no less,” but “much more” renowned than the sort of victories that are now being gained on the northwest frontier of India. It was only fourteen years ago that the owner of Coonong first became convinced of | the value of the Vermont breed of merino sheep. It was in 1883 that he purchased about a dozen of this breed of rams, which had been imported into Sydney. So con- vinced was he that he hac, as it were, struck oil, that three years later he visited the states and selected for himself 160 of the finest rams in that state and the fol- Jowing year the flock was added to by a further importation of 300 more. From that time to the present almost every year has found Mr. McCaughey importing more of these wonderful creatures. + e+_____ THE POOR IN ISRAEL. A Scene of Fasting, Prayer ity New York. From the New York Evening Post. The narrow Httle court yard at the Beth- hamidrash-hagodal (the great synagogue) on the Corner of Norfolk and Broome streets was thronged with Jewish beggars yester- day afternoon. Clustering about the en- trances to the ground floor praying rooms, they held out their hands to the stream of worshipers who stopped on their way to or from the Minha service to distribute alms. Charity is one of the thre2 principal re- sources which are pointed out to those who seek to be enrolled in the book of life dur- Ing these ten days of penance, and the poor in Israel are not backward in afford- ing thei: more prosperous brethren an op- portunity to practice it. Prayer and fast- ing are the other means to the same end. The afternoon devoticnas, which on an or- dinary occasion are attended but simply, yesterday attracted crowds of people. Seat- ed at a long table in a spacious, dingy room were eight venerable old men en- grossed in the intricacies of the Talmud. Each had a huge opea book before him, over which he was swaying and nodding, completely absorbed, some with countenances, others in stern mien, but all reading aloud in the quaint rabbinical sing- song. Now and then the face of one of them would become overcast, and he would pause in apparent con! lation of a dif- ficult point, absently st ing his beara beard or curiing his sldelocks, and g lating in speechless debate with Eimesit: and then, brightening up with a sudden inspiration, he would resume his swinging bore singing with redoubled rapture. similar Place oune of the room near the long table, where an olive-cheeked fourteen-year-old foe of the Ghetto, in a messenger Poa fot cap, was studying the same tractate of md Char- Talmud "Yooma.” the volume treating of the day of atonement), as the old Lona (earned men). torian test against being disturbed in their studies in this manner. “We are intent upon the law!” one of them cried. “The law takes Precedence over prayer.” “Yes, but we must offer Prayer,”’ one of the newcomers retorted; “some of us have been fasting ull day, and it is nearly time to have night service, that we may break the fast.” The Talmudists yielded, and went on reading their books in subdued voices, while the others offered their devotions now aloud, now in whispers, shaking and ges- liculating, some gracefully, others violent- ly, while one shabby-looking old man kept snapping his fingers at his left eye. Pres ently the mest solemn part of the prayer Was reached and reluctantly conforming to a Talmudical prescription, the eight learned men and the olived-faced boy rose to their feet, and joined the rest in jumping and shouting: “Holy! Holy! Holy!" After that they resumed their seats and their reading. To look at this whispering, gesticulating, nodding, ecstatic crowd, it was almost hard to imagine them in any other role than ‘olding communicn with their Maker or studying His sacred laws. But Minha over, each at once assumed a work-a-day air. and as they kissed the Mezuzoh parchment on the door post in haste to get out into the noisy street, there was again before the observer a cluster of tailors, peddlers, storekeepers, each with the seal of worldly care on his face. -+—____ AN INDIAN LEGEND. Explaining the age of a Girl on the Face of a Colorado Clift. From the Dvnver (Col.) Republican. Many are the eyes that are turned daily to the picturesque statue that stands hun- dreds of feet above the busy village of Géorgetown, incased, as it were, in a chis- eled vault, and placed there in a :nost mys- terlous manner. With a siient vigil it looks down upon the busy populace, a sentinel of neiseless guardianship. Yet how. few of the many who look upon the fair picture know of the legend connected therewith, and the sorrowful tale of bygone times that is interwoven by Indian history with it. It was related to a pioneer of Georgetown seme thirty odd years ago by an Indian with whom he camped in Middle Park. The Indian’s story, as near as the frortiersman, who still lives here, gould remember it, is as follows: There was gathered in the valley where Georgetown now stands in the early part of the century, a great meeting of .n2 numerous tribes of Indians of the pling and mountains that had been at war as far beck as the oldest chiefs could remember. A general desire for peace had been shown by the various tribes and the council was for that purpose. The plains Indians had elected a power- ful chief of the Cheyennes, named Cor-nu- co-ya, while tffe mountain tribes had for a ieader Tu-se-now, noted far and wide for his excellent qualities in settling difti- culties. Tu-se-now brought a beautiful daughter with him, whose name was Tah- ki. She was the pride of all the mountain tribes, and was known far and wide for her wonderful beauty. For six years the pérley lasted and broke up in a row. A battle was fought and won by Cor-nu- co-ya, during which Tu-se-now was killed and the beautiful maiden captured. The dead plains Indians were borne to the plateau at the head of Leavenworth can- n_ and buried. A number of yeats agoa Prespector driving a short tunnel in from the banks of the creek encountered the re- mains of some of the warriors and numer- ous arrow points, which goes to verify the tradition. After the battle, the matden, refusing to become a slave to her captor, was sen- tenced to be burned at the stake: This sentence was duly carried out. They not only burned her until life was extinct, but until every vestige of her body was con- sumed; and as the last small cloud of as- cending smoke left the spot of suffering there was a terrible convulsion of nature. The mountains trembled for a Moment, and the whole eastern face of what is now Republican mountain was hurled into the valley, burying every plains warrior be- neath the mountainous rock nestled in the heart of the town and now known as Chim- ney rock or Bunker hill. The captive mountain prisoners, who witnessed the cat- aclysm from a distant point, cast thetr eyes to the mountain that had hurled de- struction upon their enemies, and in the TAH-KI; maiden.

The distinguished author remarks in his preface: “This vol- ume does not deal at all with the material resources of our country. It has nothing to do with lands, or merchandise, or markets. It is not a philosophical dissertation on civics, nor a commentary on the Constitu- tion. It is a modest attempt to give my readers a view of the machinery of our na- tional government im motion, and some in- struction as to the relations and uses of its several parts. The purpose of the book is to give a better knowledge of things that have been too near and familiar to be well known. We stumble over things that are near our toes.

No more interesting period occurs in the entire course of French history than that embraced by the reign of Louis XV. Im- mediately preceding a great upheaval of pepular sentiment, it was marked by the decline of a once great regime, the awak- ening of the public conscience and the scattering of the seeds of revolution. It was, in effect, the period of decay, and its treatment by so studious an historian cs the present author, who has specialized his researches to good effect, is altogether a worthy effort. ST.

The story in this form was given serial publication in McClure’s Magazine in this country and in Cosmopolis in London. HAND BOOK OF THE U. 8.

Compiled, Vandegritt & THE PHILOSOPHER OF DRIFTWOOD. A _ Novel. Ry Mrs. Jenness Miller. Washington: Jenness Miller Publications. Mrs. Miller, whose name is familiar to practically all Americans has under this title produced a novel which deals with the social problem and raises a question as to the intrinsic morality of some of our conventional ideas. Its characters are well drawn and introduce many varied and in- teresting scenes—some on the picturesque Maine coast, others in the society life of Washirgton and Paris. The story is un- usual, and its style original. It will in- terest the sociologist and the men and wo- men of society, and will command the at- tention of these who think with independ- ence on social questions.
