American Merino Sheep.

When tiie first prizes for Merino Aeep were awarded to American Merinos at the International Exposition at Hamburg, all Europe was astonished. The Yankee sheep took the prises over the best flocks of Europe, and they could not understand it After the first surprise was over, the European sheep-giowers, at the close of the exhibition, did the best possibly thing—they purchased the American Merinos, or “Vermont Merinos,” as they were generally called, for the improvement of their flocks, at what was then an unusual price. The American Merinos are the result of several importations, made early in the present century from Spain, and included animals from the Paular, Infantado, Negretti, and other celebrated flocks, regarded aa the finest in Spain. Of these early importations, some were lost sight of, or “run out,” through careless breeding. Others were bred with great care, and by crossing with other pure flocks, under our climate and with no doubt better feeding, they gradually developed, perhaps unintentionally on the part of tiie breeders, into a distinct family of the Merinos now known as the American. The superiority of the American over the best European families of Merinos is shown, in the first place, in its greater size and weight. While the rams of the most noted of the Spanish flocks range from sixty to one hundred pounds—this last weight rarely reached—the American Merino rams run to one hundred and twenty pounds, and upward to one hundred and eighty pounds. These large weights .are accompanied by shorter peck and legs, and increased width of lain and, what is most important, a great increase in the weight of fleece. Some flockß have averaged ten pounds of washed wool, and individual rams have greatly exceeded this weight. The American Merino is marked by strong folds and wrinkles, and some flocks have been bred with a view to these. It is a common impression that excessive wrinkles indicate purity of breed and fineness of wool, and breeders have endeavored to meet the prevailing taste for heavily wrinkled sheep. Those who look to the best returns in wool do not approve of excessive wrinkles, as they increase the difficulty and the cost of shearing. Breeders differ as to the amount of yolk desirable ixf the wool, and this is sometimes excessive. Fashion has much to do with both yolk and wrinkles; the present tendency is to reduce the amount of both. The American have been found to be superior to any of the European Merinos for improving the flocks of Australia. A few months ago an Australian flock-master called upon us, said that the sole object of his visit to this country was to purchase American Merino rams. He attributed the great improvement which has lately been manifested in Australian sheep, to the introduction of American Merinos. We notice that English agricultural writers speak of the improvement in Australian sheep by the introduction of Merino rams, but they fail to state that it is due to the American rams. In sheep-raising, as in many other branches of agriculture, Australian* and New Zealanders look to America for aid and rather than to the mother country. —American Agriculturist.

The Annihilation of Armies.

The Confederates, out of 68,000 men engaged at Gettysburg, lost 18,000, but Meade held his hand from interfering ■with their orderly retreat. Of that battle the climax was the assault of Pickett’s division, “the flower of Virginia,” against Webb’s front on the left of Cemetery Hill. Before the heroic Alrmitage called for the “cold steel” and carried Gibbon’s battery with a rush, the division had met with a variety of experiences during its mile-and-a-half advance over the smooth ground up the crest. “When it first came in sight it had been plied with solid shot; then half way across it had been vigorously shelled, and the double canisters had been reserved for its nearer approach. An enfilading fire tore through its ranks; the musketry blazed forth against it with deadly effect.” This is the evidence of an eye-witness on the opposite side, who adds, “but it catae on magnificently.” . Yes, it came on to cold steel and clubbed muskets, and, after a desperate struggle, it went back foiled, to the accompaniments which had marked its advance. But, heavy as were its losses, it was not “annihilated.” Pickett’s division survived to be once and again a thorn in the Federal side before the final day of fate came to it at Appomattox Court House. At Mars-la-Tour, Alvensleben’s two infantry divisions, numbering certainly not over 18,000 men (for they had already lost heavily at the Spicheren Berg), sacrificed within a few of 7,000 during the long summer hours while thejf stood unsupported athwart the course of the French army retreating from Metz. But, so far were they from being annihilated, that forty-eight hours later they made their presence acutely felt on the afternoon of Graveloite. In the July attack on Plevna, of the 28,000 men with whom Krudoener and Schahovskoy went in, they took out under 21,000. One brigade of the latter’s command lost 725 killed aad 1,200 wounded—about 76 per cent of its whole number—yet the Russian retirement was not disorderly; trad next day the troops were in resolute cohesion awaiting what might befall them. In the September attack on Plevna, of 74,000 Busso-Boumanian infantry engaged, the losses reached 18,000. Skobeleff commanded 18,000 men, and, at the end of his two days’ desperate fighting, not 10,000 of these were left standing. But there was no annihilation, either literally or conventionally, if one may use the term. The survivors who had fought on the 11th and 12th of September were ready at the word to go in again on the 13th; and how they marched across the Balkans later is one of the marvels of modern military history.— Exchange.

Floating Plant.

A new plant possessing anti-malarial properties, as alleged, is receiving public attention. This is the Jussience' grandiflora, a floating plant of the bayous and lower lakes of Louisiana, which has long been observed to pre-

vent the development of malaria in regions peculiarly adapted to its generation. The claim is put forth for it that it purifies all stagnant water in which it grows; that the lakes and bayous inhabited by it are singularly pure to the sight, taste, and smell; and that to its presen oe, and its undoubted hygienic or health-preserving qualities, is to be attributed the remarkable exemption of the people of Lower Louisiana from malarious or miasmatic diseases. It is also stated that in the region thus repeatedly preserved from such diseases there are more stagnant waters and swamps than in any other part of the country. —Floral World.

Money Plus Talent.

James Parton, expressing his opinion on literary work, says: “The great mistake made by most young writers, and which serves as a drawback to their success, is that they are inclined to depend too much on their self-convictions and ideas, y hieh they evolve from their innocent consciences, without regard to practical knowledge of nature and tfie true philosophy of life. “From my knowledge of authors—nearly all of whom are poor—l am satisfied that a writer, to do justice to himself, can only succeed to his own satisfaction by being possessed of at least a moderate competence, sufficient to relieve him of the care consequent upon his having to write for a living. Most authors write that they may live, and, at times, with a love they cherish in behalf of pet ideas and sentiments, and to satisfy their own ambition. “With a competence, *n author can give his whole soul to the work. He can give all the time and pure thought essential to the proper application of genius and a brilliant mind to a successful literary career. “Young men with a literary ambition should first possess a competence before they start out in the profession. My advice to such is that they go into the grocery business, or any honest calling. When they have secured a competence, then they can satisfy their literary bent and achieve that rich success which always rewards genius and a great mind properly applied.

Waxed Floors.

“Yes, I deal in antique furniture, and get up new furniture on antique models, and repair things, and so on, but my principal business is in waxing floors—-hard-wood floors, of course. That is increasing all the time. I don’t have much to do with the floors of dancing halls, because the men having charge of them get into the way of waxing the floors themselves. It is in private houses that my services are in demand. Three years ago there were very few waxed floors in New York residences, but they are all the rage now among New Yorkers we live in good style, Some have them because they are nice for a german or a small party; but they are also popular among those who do not dance, for they give an air of richness, of well keeping, and are so much cleaner than carpets ever can be. When you sweep a carpet you send up a cloud of dust and fibers from it, but that cannot be the case with a waxed floor, which gathers no dust, and the more it is swept and brushed and polished the smoother and brighter it becomes. A hard-wood floor should be waxed thoroughly three or four times a year, besides being rubbed occasionally by the servants of the house.” —New York Sun.

A New Feature In Fruit Preserving.

California fruit growers have discovered that apricots bleached with sulphur fumes and then dried in the sun are superior to 4-hose that are dried in any other manner or that are canned. They regard this fact of very great importance to the whole State. It enables every fruit culturist, however limited his means, and however small the product of his orchards, to dry his own fruit for market, and make him independent of the canning factories. It is also stated that fruit can be prepared in this manner more cheaply than in any other, that its weight is better preserved, and that it is of superior flavor. Large dealers in dried fruit say that the market for such products of California orchards will always be greater than the supply can possibly be. The United States alone will readily take all the fruit of the kind and quality now being produced by the sundrying process that California can ever raise. Many thousands of apricot trees have been planted within a recent date in orchard form in Southern California. Sun-dried apricots are being sold to California dealers at double the price paid for the best raisins.

Narrow Escape.

A Newburg youth of 16 summers has had a narrow escape from being crippled for life. His parents noticed that one side of his body seemed to be drawn out of shape—so much so that a physician was consulted. The doctor, after seeing the lad, told him he had been smoking cigarettes, and was being poisoned, and that, had he continued the habit a few weeks longer, there could be no doubt that his entire side would have become paralyzed.

Exploration of New Guinea.

* * * i.jjj connection with the Waltham Watch Company, it may be stated that when the proprietors of The Age desired to present Mr. G. E. Morrison (the explorer of New Guinea) with a reliable chronometer, acting upon the advioe of Mr. R. L. J. Ellery, the Government Astronomer, two Waltbam watches were, however, procured for Mr. Morrison instead. These were kept at the Melbourne Observatory for a fortnight, and thoroughly and carefully tested, and were pronounced by Mr. Ellery, at the end of that time, to be better suited for Mr. Morrison’s requirements than any chronometer.”— Extract from, the Melbourne Age.

OUR ANCESTORS' NERVE.

The Secret of Their Uinioal Vigor Explained and Hew It Can Be Acquired. There was somethin* about the sturdy vigor of former generation* that challenge* the admiration of every man, woman, and child. They were no epicure*—those ancient fath. ere. They lived simply, and successfully met and overcame difficulties that would have discouraged this age and generation. The rigors of the frontier were supplemented by the savages, wild beasts threatened their enterprise, and poverty was a oomraon companion. Yet they bravely encountered and resisted all thoso things and laid the foundations of a land whose blessings we how enjoy. Their constitutions were strong, their health unsurpassed, and yet they were forced to expose themselves continually. There certainly must have been some good and adequate cause for all this and for the physical superiority of that age over the present. It is well known to every one oonversant with the history of that time that certain home compounds of strengthening qualities were used almost universally by those pioneers. The malarial evils and exposure! to which they were subjected necessitated this. When their bodies became chilled by cold or debilitated by the damp mists of a new oountry they were forced to counteract it by the use of antidotes. Medicines were few in those days, and doctors almost unknown. Hence the preparations above re f erted to. From among the number, all of which were compounded upon the same general principle, one wns found to be more efficient and benfce far more popular than all the rest. It was well known through the Middle and Western States, and was acknowledged as the best preparation for malarial disorders and general debility then known. The recipe for compounding this valuable article was handed down from one family and generation to another, was known to the Harrison family, and is used aa the'basis and general formula for the present “Tippecanoe,” the name being suggested by the battle in whioh Gen. Harrison was engaged. The manufacturers have thoroughly Investigated this subject in its minutest details, and are certain that for assimilation of food, dyspepsia, tired feelings, general debility, prostrations, malarial disorders, and humors In the blood, nothing can exceed in value “Tippecanoe,” which was the medicine of our forefathers and seems destined to be the most popular preparation of the day. “Tippecanoe” is prepared and given to the public by Messrs. H. H. Warner* Co., of Rochester, N. Y., proprietors of the famous W arner' s Safe Cure, which is now the most extensively used of any American medicine. The wellknown standing of this house is a sufficient guarantee of the purity and power or this preparation, which soeks to banish one of the greatest banes of the ninteenth century—-mal-ass mllation of food. Any ono who experiences trouble of digestion; who feels less vigor than formerly; whose system has unquestionably “ run down, ” and who realizes the necessity of some strengthening tonic, cannot afford to permit such symptoms to continue. If the farmer finds that his threshing machine does not separate the grain from tho straw he realizes that something is wrong and tries to repair the machine. When the food does not sustain the life; when it fails to make blood; whon it causes the energy to depart and ambttlou to die, it is a certain sign that something is wrong and that the human machine needs repairing. it is not a question of choice; it is a matter of duty. You must attend to your health or your sickness, and nothifig will sooner overcome these evils than “Tippecanoe,” the medicine of the past, a safe guard for the present, and a guarantee of health for the future.

Coloring Roses.

A young man entered a Hartford street-car carrying three roses, one white, one green, and one salmon-col-ored. They attracted mnch attention, especially tne green. The owner finally explained that all were white that morning, and that the coloring had been done by putting the stem of one into green ink, and the other into red ink. The leaves were beautifully colored, and the coloring would not rub off, but it seemed as if nature had done the work. The process only required ten minutes.

No Marks.

Mr. T. M. Casad, editor of the Corydon (Iowa) Times, writes that his little girl burned her foot severely on a stove. One application of St. Jacobs Oil, the great pain reliever, cured it completely, leaving no marks. By two applications of St. Jacobs Oil he cured himself of a torturing pain in the side.

Childhood’s Observation.

Visitor (who has taken small girl on his lap'i—“Now, my little pet, what do you think I’ve taken you on my lap for?" Small Girl—“To give me candy.” .V. —“No, but to give you something almost as good as candy—a real sweet kiss. ” S. G.—“l’d rather have the candy; you can go and kiss my governess. That’s what papa does, and he gives me the candy every time I see him do it.”— Philadelphia Call.

The Best Protection.

The best safeguards against epidemic disease are thrsugh digestion and Arm nerves. It Is because they assure the regular performance of the digestive process, and Invigorate the nervous system, that Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters are such a sovereign protective against the Influences which beget fever and ague, intermittent maladies, and those which directly affect the stomach and bowels. If the nerves are healthfully tranquil, the assimilation of food perfect, as they are sure to be under the influence of this standard tonic and nervine, malaria may be defied, and if, in the absence of the most reliable of medical safeguards, the system has fallen a prey to disease of an intermittent or remittent type, the Bitters will. If persisted in, eradicate every vestige of the maladv. Biliousness, constipation and dyspepsia yield with equal oertainty to the operation of this potent vegetable alterative. v Thkt say dogs can’t reason, but no one will doubt that a dog tries to reaoh a oonclulion when he chases bis tail.

Farmers that try to sell white butter are all of the opinion that dairying does not pay. If they would use Wells, Richardson A Co.’s Improved Batter Color, and market their butter in perfect condition, they would still get good prices, but it will not pay to make any but the host in color pad quality. This color is usea by all the leading creameries and daifymen, and is sold by druggists and merchants. _ Dollars are getting scarce enough to be ipelled with a capital D.— Newman Independent.

TRUE SOLDIERLY GRIT.

Having Paaacd Through tho War, sa Old Soldier Con flwn One Enemy More. Kindling with enthusiasm as he recalled the great struggle of twenty' years ago, Capt. J. R. Sanford, of Newark, who raised Company B of 33d N. J. Zouaves, and went to the front with them, said to a transient companion one day last summer: “Yes, I was in eight of the fiercest battles of the war; Beven Pines, Malvern Hill, Savage Station, Missionary Ridge, and Harrison's Landing are in the list. I started to go with Sherman to the sea, but my right leg was shattered by a ball at the first engagement after the great march began. After the amputation I was taken twentyfive miles and left in a tent at Ringgold, Go. A rain came on and my tent was hooded. Then I was started on my way to Chattanooga, BSO miles distant. Just try to imagine the horror of that journey to a mai In my condition. For years afterward 1 was shaken with every exertion. Yes, the doctors prescribe, as they always will when you ask them, but I keep my own doctor now, and he never opens his mouth.” “ A dumb doctor?” exclaimed the Captain’s caller. “Yes, dumb as a mummy, but smart as lightning; there he is,” pointing to a bottle of DR. DAVID KENNEDY’S FAVORITE REMEDY staudlngfon a oorner shelf: “ I take that.
