~ SHEPHERD CARVERS.
The Lonely Sheep Tenders of the Cail-
fornia Sierras.
There are few lonelier lives in the
world than those lived by shepherds
in the high meadows of the California
Sierras. All alone they follow their
sheep, seeing no one for many months
of the year but the sheep, their dogs
and perhaps an occasional—a very oc-
casional—traveler. Probably this soll
tude dries up the springs of speech,
for they are said to be very silent
when they do encounter any one.
One of these strange men is a Basque
from the Pyrenees. A lean, dark vis-.
aged, ragged fellow, he Is now and |
then overtaken by some wanderer in
the mountains. Along the trail before |
him his sheep feed. His mongrel collie |
hangs at his heels. He may raise his |
stick in mute salutation; he may slouch
by without a sign. Yet this uncouth
being has one talent—he can carve.
His amusement Is carving quaint]
sheep buckles out of bone. Every herd |
has its bellwether, about whose neck
hangs a bell. The bell depends from a
leather collar, and it is the buckles of
these collars that this old Basque shep-
herd and some of these other Sierra
shepherds make in the course of their
lonely days. Sometimes a buckle rep-
resents a summer's work, for some of
them are very elaborate. Some are in
the semblance of saints or angels,
some have the monograms of the sheep
owners or of the shepherds in curious |
designs. All are patiently cut, bit by |
bit, with the pocketknife of the shep- |
herd.—Exchange.
DIET AND SLEEP.
Eating Before Retiring and Digestion |
During Slumber.
Diet has little influence on sleep ex- |
cept in so far as it may produce dis- |
turbances of digestion and through
these of the general balance of health.
The hypnotic effects of certain foods,
such as onions, lettuce, milk, etc. are
chiefly imaginary. Even the time of
the last meal of the day is of relative
ly little importance except that it is
well to let this be at least two or three
hours before retiring. But even this
rule has many exceptions, as many
healthy laboring men habitually fall
asleep over thelr pipes directly after
supper, and children after poking the
spoon into their little eyes nod off over
the tea table, with the bread and but
ter still clutched in their chubby fists.
The processes of digestion probably
go on more slowly during sleep, but
they are perfectly carried out, as is {l-
lustrated by the almost invariable hab-
it among animals of going to sleep
directly after a meal.
Indeed, a moderate amount of food
in the stomach or intestines seems to
promote slumber. Many night workers.
for instance, sleep much better for tak.
ing a light or even full supper just be.
fore retiring.—Dr. Woods Hutchinson
in American Magazine.
The Tenors’ Parts.
Probably the composers are largely
responsible for tenor worship. In Ver-
dl's operas, with hardly an exception,
the tenor plays a more important part
than the baritone or bass, and the
same Is true of other opera writers,
Mozart's “Don Giovanni” being a nota-
ble exception. Wagner wrote one
opera, “The Flying Dutchman,” in
which the baritone Is king, whereas in
six of his works the supremacy of the
tenor is indicated by the very titles—
“Rienzl,” “Tannhauser,” “Lohengrin,”
“Tristan und Isolde,” “Siegfried,”
“pParsifal.” This being so, we shall
probably continue to be subject to the
tyranny of one tenor or another, unless
it be true, as was maintained at a con-
clave of French savants, that the tenor
volce is a relic of barbarism, destined
to become extinct.—Argonaut.
A Divided Answer.
The country mind sometimes works
slowly, although with an enviable
weight and accuracy, but the country
mode of expression is usually to the
point. Even {ts pauses serve thelr
turn, They are always of rhetorical
value. An old fisherman sat by the sea
wall skinning eels which were that
forenoon to be packed in ice and sent
to a city market. A young woman, a
visitor In town, stood by watching the
anusual occupation and quite fascinat-
#d by the ease and dexterity with
which it was carried on. At length
she felt the necessity of “making talk.”
“What do you get for eels?’ she
asked.
“Nothin’,” returned the old man em-
phatically, stripping off a skin. Then
with the same precision and lightning-
like haste he “peeled” another and
another, leaving his visitor to wonder
at the eccentricity which prompted
him to take so much trouble unreward-
ed. It was ouly after she had given
up the question as a bad job that he
calmly finished his sentence—“to what
I'd ought to.”
Color Gossip.
Have human beings, like animals, a
tendency to clothe themselves in colors
that reproduce the prevailing tone of
their surroundings? There is another
question for scleutists who have dis-
covered that different colors produce
differing effects on the health and dis-
position of individuals. At all events
color conventions in different parts of
the world are decidedly at a variance
For example, while we use black In
mourning the Chinese wear white
gowns, white caps, white shoes and
white ties on thelr cues. The royal
color In Europe is purple—a hue of red,
got of violet, as often misrepresented
In China the imperial color is yellow
and a certain shade of yellow may not
be worn by the common people, but is
conferred upon high officials as a great
distinction.
Some individual color preferences are
historical. Cleopatra loved yellow;
Mme. de Pompadour delighted In a
charming mixture of pink and blue;
Napoleon's first empress, Josephine,
wore the daring combination of black,
white and emerald green, while Eu-
gene Field boldly declares that—
Any color, so long as it's red,
Is good enough for me.
—Woman's Home Companion.
Bargain Sales In Japan.
Even in placid Japan they have bar
gain sales, but they conduct them on
very different principles from the
scrimmages we have over here. An
amusing American woman has embod:
fed her experiences of traveling alone
in Japan in a most entertaining vol-
ume just published, whence may be
gathered a description of a sale at the
greatest trading house In Japan.
The goods are not flung about. They
are shown to advantage In locked
cases, and the heads of departments
keep the keys. Remnants, however,
are laid on mats, and, though there is
keen anxiety to secure bargains, per-
fect order and quiet prevail.
Bables toddle about quite comforta-
bly, others sleep on their mothers’
backs. However orderly and quiet
though the Japanese bargain sale may
be, it is not free from the shoplifter,
and it is interesting to hear that the
detective is as necessary in the fiowery
land as in England. The kimono sleeve
1s a useful receptacle for unconsidered
trifies.— London Ladies’ Pictorial.
Odd Baby Customs.
Among the Parseces when a child is
born a priest takes the place of the
medicine man, carefully noting down
all details of birth and “calculating its
nativity” to a nicety. Having graclous-
Iy consulted the parents, he announces
the child's name. Baptism by water
and by fire follows, the Infant being
first dipped in a tub and afterward
taken to church to be held over a
flame.
In Persia the baby is laid on the
floor while five names on five different
slips of paper are elther tucked under
the edge of the carpet or hidden in the
Koran. The first chapter of this holy
book is theu read and a slip drawn at
random. The chosen name is confided
to the baby's ear, but lest he should
forget his wee memory is tagged by
fastening the paper to his clothing.—

Taken at His Word.
Master Walter, aged five, had eaten
the soft portions of his toast at break-
fast and piled the crusts on his plate.
“When | was a little boy.” remarked |
his father. who sat opposite him, “I
always ate the crusts of my toast.”
“Did you like them?’ inquired his
offspring cheerfully.
“Yes,” replied the parent.
“You may have these, said Master
Walter, pushing his plate across the
table.—Harper's Weekly.

The following gem of English as it

us by one of our reporters: “Some |

Pyung Chun made a loud when he

whiist one of the Japanese military of-
ficers arrived there and asked the
reason of making noise.” —Korea News.

“Then my case must be hopeless,”
said the youth sorrowfully.
“Not at all, I simply said that to
sncourage you." —Pittsburg Press,

wise philosopher, between wishing and

TESTED HIS LOGIC.
John Seemed to Make His Point, but
Missed the Chicken.
The old couple were eating their first
meal with their son after his return
from college.
“Tell us, John,” said the father,
“what have you learned at college?’
“Oh, lots of things,” said the son as
be recited his course of studies.
“I'hen,” he concluded, “I also studied
logic.”
“Logic,” said the old man. “What is
that?”
“It's the art of reasoning” said the
son.
“The art of reasoning?’ said the fa-
ther. “What is that, my boy?”
“Well,” replied the son, “let me give
you a demonstration. How many
chickens are on that dish, father?”
“Two,” said the old man.
“Well,” sald John, “I can prove
there are three.” Then he stuck his
fork in one and said, “That is one, isn’t
it?”
“Yes,” said the father.
“And this is two?’ sticking his fork
in the second.
“Yes,” replied the father again.
“Well, don't one and two make
three?’ replied John triumphantly.
“Well, 1 declare,” sald the father,
“you have learned things at college.
