No examination ! Bools of the state can do any | s not begin with an-au- Weterhauling of the control those schools from Hartford. In| plain language, it is the office of the state board of education that needs investigation.—New Haven Register. It was not until recently that the practice of introducing bills in the | legislature for an investigation of the | state board of education ceased, but | at no time did such a measure have | a chance of passing and presumablyl those interested the proposed vestigation concluded that it was time | to quit and quit they did. Just whut; kind of investigation is proposed now | has not been explained, but it prob- ably relates to the cost for the rea- son that it has been said by some people around the capitol that the bills are becoming pretty heavy. The state contributes toward the support of the graded schools and presumably some one has gotten the notion that the expense is becoming tao large and that there should be an investigation. That is the usual way. There probably was a time | when the public schools were so sue- cessfully conducted and with greater | advantage to the pupils than at pres- ent. It has gotten so now in Con- | necticut when every child, no matter | what its circumstances are, is gi\'ens the same chance as any other.

The Great Sheep Flocks of Russia. In no,part of the old world immensé flocks of than in southern Russia, \rites are sheep N. Tourneur in The Shepherd's Journal. | There, where the plains strech across the empire or Steppes from the | frontier of Hungary to those of Mon- gclia—where the country is one mon- otonous level, with few trees and few- er hills—vast flocks of sheep roam, some proprietors possessing no than from 500,000 to 600,000 of them. The number of sheep reared on the steppes increases year after year. But | they are exposed to the most severe privations, for the scorching heats of summer and the freezing blasts of winter are alike tremendous, while the hurricanes that burst over the plains are as bad as elther. During the tem- pests the animals make not the least effort ‘to weather the violence of the storm, but run panle-stricken before the wind, and are forced by thousands into the streams and ravines by which the steppes are intersected. Were it not for the use of goats, neither the shepherds nor their dogs these times; for the sheep can but seldom be brought to face the terrible winds of the great plains, or to march dur- ing a storm into the shelter of u i Tavine. But with every hundred sheep three or four goats are kept, and as these are easily brought to face any wind that will at all bear facing, they are used to lead the way boldly down the most rugged descents; and the sheep follow without much bother. The herdsman of a large flock or oitara is caled a tschabawn, The tschabawn usually has one or two wagons drawn by oxen, in which are carried his provisions and cooking utensils, together with the sheep that have died and those of the wolves he has been fortunate enough to kill. The order of his progress is uniformily simple. The or wagons lead the van, the tschabawn follows, and the sheep follow him. When he comes to good he does not leave till the grass has been eaten down: and even | on the march his encampment for the night is often no more than two or three miles from where he started the dewy morning. Five hundred to six hundred ewes-— | and more— tschabawn draws the milk from them, and places it in huge, shallow bowls to be exposed to the sun, and made into a kind of cheese known as which is very popular in | Russia and eastern Germany. Owing | to the cheese being packed in goat- skins, it has a rather peculiar flavor, however, an gets to a time. During the sheep the severe winter are ced in shelter, but all spring, summer and autumn they are pasturing on the plains. as the weather is fine, and predatory enemies are absent, the life of a and his three or four as- pleasant.

McMILLAN 199-201-203 Main Stree i It is the tremendous snowstorms of March the shepherds dread. i The writer knows of an occasion on | the Otshakov Steppe, when, out of an | ottara of 2,000 sheep and 150 goats | that were caught in the pelting, screaming snow-drift, 1,200 sheep were lost, and all the goats. The | sheep are mostly of the Wallachian | or fat-tailed breed. and the merino; though, of late, other strains have been successfully reared. In the fat-tailed sheep, the fat in or | about its tail is considered most valu- able, and brings a high price among | Russians. !
