THE STORY OF JOHNNY GREEN.
From the Detroit Free Tress.
Johnny Greep was Ibe son of a poor
widow n hose husband went out to feed
the hogs one evening and never rt turned
to tbe bosom of bis family. It was sup
posed by some that he was abducted and
held for ransom, and by others that he
was devoured by a cow, but whichever
way it was bis wife was left with a
mighty email farm and a mighty big
murtgaga drawing 10 per oent , aud she
couldu't waste any time tying back her
dresses or frizzing her hair.
Had it not beeu for little Johnny she
would have given up in despair. He cut
all the wood, brought water from the
spring, labored in the garden, and wheu
she sometimes broke down under tbe
burden ot grief be stood before her and
manfully said :
"Don't let her get the start of yon, deal
mother. Shut yuur teeth and hung on.
It will all come right, and you'll ride
around iu your own top buggy, yet."
Aud then she was consoled and com
forted. And she patted him on the head
aud said how glad she was tbat he bad
beeu spared to her. Oue day little
Juhnny found bis mother weeping us
tbougn her heart would break, aud when
be demanded tbs cause she ooufeBsed
tbat P'iOO interest was due on tbe mort
gage that very day, while she bad oul)
seventeen ceuts and a lottery ticket iu
the bouse. Old Stoneheart, who held
the mortgage, would, no doubt, be there
before uigbt to say:
"Gimme t hi m interest or skip I What,
no sugar! Then consider yourself skup
podl" "Mother, do not worry," pleaded the
boy. "It will redden the end of your
nose to cry, and besides, old Stonehenn
o innot disturb us. There's a hen on
"My child, you speak queerly. What
is it? Do not keep me in suspense!"
"There is the mortgage, mother, aud
here is the discharge of it iu due form
from the Ccun'y Clerk."
"Am I awake or dreamingf Child
Cbildl What means thisl" she cried.
"Only u little surprise, dear mother.
Last June Elder Davidson offered me a
cent for every ten tater-ougs I'd kill on
bis vines, and during my spare hours,
when you thought I was felliug frogs

MILLIONS
OF SHEEP
TRALIA.
IN AUS-
One hundred million of sheep such
roughly speaking is, according to Mr.
W. A. Temperley, the total wealth of
Australia invested in these bleating,
flocks whioh were the standard and out"
ward token of riohes iu the pastoral
communities of the old world. In his
paper rend before tbe Tyneside Geo
graphical Sooiety, Mr. Temperley gave a
curious picture of the operation of sheep
shearing at a model Australian sheep
station of 150.00J acres. For system and
eoonoiny it appears to be far ahead of
anything known in this part ot the
world. Such a holding should support,
we are told, 5 ),000 sheep, besides a few
hundred bead ot oattle aud a number of
horses for station work.
The firm described pnsessed 15,000 to
20,000 breeding ewes of the merino type,
the remainder being what are oalled
"dry sheep." Iu New South Wales the
density ot the sheep population, so to
speak, is estimated at about 149 ani
mals to the square mile. The total of
the world's export ot wool is l,000.0j0,000
per annum. Of this vast total, per
cent, oomes from Australia, 29 per oent.
from the Argentine Republic aud per
cent, from the Cape. Thus 64 per oent.
of the whole comes from tbe sheep zones
of ihe southern hemisphere. It is noted
as a curious geographical fact that all
the great wool exporting oouutries lie
south of the fifteenth degree nt south
latitude. Loudon Standard.
ABUSING HORSES.
It seems natural tor some man to al
ways be thumping and abusing the
horses which they handle. In faot such
work is pr.iotioed by some to snob an
extent that their horses think there is
something wrong it they are not Blushed
or jerked around all the time.andscaroely
kuow what to lo with themselves when
they are plaoed m the hands of men who
know how to mauuge horses that have
been properly trained without abusing
them. To say the least these Bbusive
methods are shameful and needless, and
nud are only practioed by those who
know but little or nothing about horse
manship. The idea prevails among this
ignorant oluss of men that without this
rough treatment they could not manage
their horses. This is one rf the greatest
errors that men who handle bores can
fall into. If a horse has any habits that
make him unpleasant to handle tbey
should be thoroughly broken at once,
after which there will be no cause for
further trouble. An hour's work well
directed will remedy the worst fault iu
tbs trainiug of almost any horse and
it is better to take the t m i should it re
quire a whole day to break up habits
that are annoying thau to let them run
along during the whole life of the ani
mal. Whenever yon see a man who is
continually fighting his team you oau
set him down as a fool or a tyrant. II
he is the first he hasn't souse enough to
know how treat his horse. It he is the
eaond he is abuiive because he has the
power to show his evil disposition and
the poor brutes oauuot resist him. Na
