First and most important is to buy the right class ahd to blty them cheap enough. With the lamb onfc can afford better to pfiy too much, Since the gain in weight they be so gfeat that the ex­ cess of cost may be offset by the good gain In Wright and profitable price 1w lb With mature sheep much smaller gains can be had, and if there is not’ material advance in selling price over cost loss (s apt to ensue. in lamb feeding there is often most profit la buying small, immature lambs.

Theboomerang is-an instrument used both in war and in the chase by the i aborigines of Australia, i t Is usually about two feet In length; made of hard wood bent into a curve resembling an obtuse angle, fiat on one side and rounded on the other. The method of using this curious weapon Is very pe- CUllari The thrower takes it,in one hand, holding the bent side downward, snd hurls it forward as if to hit some object-twenty or twenty-five .yards in advance. Instead- of continuing to go ‘directly forward ia accordance with the Newtonian law it slowly ascends In the.air,' whirling round and round, describinga beautiful and geometrical curved line till it reaches a considers-- ble height, when it begins to retro., grade, finally’sweeping over the head of the projector, Striking the object for Which It was Intended, which is al­ ways In the rear, - .

In the middle of the last century Ihe crofters In the west highlands seldom bow money -and never needed It. They erected for themselves huts mostly built of turf, floored' with clay and roofed, with heather. ’They kept a few ’cattle, goata and sheep, which grazed at will on the open hillside und provided, them with milk and woo). „They lived a truly simple life, and their needs were few* They grew oats for their own food and potatoes, which formed their Other chief article of diet' Tea was an unknown lux­ ury. It was by no means uncommon to find persona who bad never tasted' ( t Wheaten bread bad never been seen in those parts. Their' clothes were made from the fleece^ of their, own sheep, spud and woven by .the good wives during the long winter nigbts and dyed from the simple dyes made from the lichens which grew on tbe stems of trees or on the bowlders of rock fn the neighborhood. The whisky they dtnnlc came from secret stills on tbe hillside and had never paid excise. The nearest parish church was often many miles away. No school, was there for the Children. Very foW of them, Indeed, conld read or Write. Still fewer had ever heard a word of English spoken. Their spir­ itual needs, however, were not neg­ lected, for they received constant vis­ its from the “men,” as they were call­ ed, who had constituted themselves the spiritual guides of their neighborhood. —Blackwood’s Magazine, OU T ine Flosftlag*** An act of the time of Queen Eliza* both ordained that vagrants were to be “stripped from the middle upward and Whipped till the body Is bloody.” Four- pence each was the recognized charge made by the “whlpman” for every male and female vagrant who passed .through bis hands, but on special occa­ sions this sum was exceeded. Says the constable’s account of Great Staughton, Huntingdonshire: “May, 1061.—Paid In charges taking up a distracted woman, watching her and Whipping her next day, S shillings Gpence.” After whip­ ping people according to the statute the authorities sometimes gave them a letter recommending constables and others-“to b# as charitable as the law permits.” _ T h e Mind** E y e . .It will probably be news to most peopla>to hear that rudimentary traces of a third eye exist among All rttte* brutes, including man.
