But let as quote Mr. Kemble's glowing
tribute to his goatship: N
"Th1 silken mohair and the delicate,
tender flesh of the Angora coat are be
ginning to be well recognhed in com
merce. The saying is that the Angora
will pick up dollars off the bushes and
put them in the bank for their owners.
It is almost literally true. And what
cleaner and more appetizing spectacle
than the herb eating goat; surely the
flesh of such an animal must be superior
as an edible. They require no extraor
dinary food. They clean brush land off
of farms like no other agency, even bet
ter than fire; they furnish fine food,
they furnish a valuable product in the
shape of the fleece clip and their hiiles
make very fine robes and ruges which
are coming into great demand and bring
prices away up. That is the utility of
the goat and it is worth considering from
a business point of view.
"It perhaps isn't well known, but I
have read that the plushes used in car
s -ats are almost exclusively made from
mohair. Larce quantities are used in
upholstering furniture, also carriaces
robes, sofa pillows and a large number
of other articles of common use are made
of the fleece of goats. The skin make
the most handsome rugs when the skin
is taken when the fleece is about five
inches in length. I never saw anything
more handsome. Muffs and trimmings
for coats are made from the goat hide?.
"But the growine value of the goat is
in the meat and the fleece. The preju
dice against goat meat will soon disappear
before its delicious character. The
vehicles? si. mnct Vu hntchpred inst eiaetlv
- i j
right or the meat is tainted with what is
called the sheep taste; not so with the
goat. The flesh is delicious because the
animal is a ruminant and eats leaves and
bushes and twigs, the most succulent
part of the growing vegetation and fur
therest removed from any contamination."
ft Frames
to be used is very much a
matter of taste. It is import
ant, though, that the frames
set properly on the nose, and
at the right distance from
the eyes. That the lenses
be perfectly centered, and
how are you to know when
some one is guessing.

The great American hen is holding up
her end in maintaining the supremacy
of American institutions. An internat
ional egg laying contest was inaugurated
by the government agricultural college
st Sydney, Australia. The Australians
thought their hens were something on
the lay, and wanting to confirm their
good opinion, invited the breeders
of England, France, Germany, Ameri

over their best poultry to be handsomely

the hens a chance to recuperate
from the long journey and to become
acclimated, and then the contest was
begun. The following from a Sydney
dispatch tells the results:
"So rapidly grew the pile of white
eggs from the three American coops
when the word 'go' was given, that in
side of a week the other nationalities
were left hopelessly in the rear."
The American hen won. She scatter

other lands and won in a cackle. When
even the hens uphold the glory of the
star-spangled banner it seems a waste of
time to go very deep into despair over
the country's future.
