THE PUZZLED BABY.
My age is fourteen months or so;
I've tauuht myself to wolk ;
But I am now concerned to know ;
How I shall learn to talk;
In fact, how any babe who lives
Day and night among
His idiotic relatives ' ' ,
Can learn the English tongue.
And therefore, I would make it clear
(Nor deem the net amiss)
What chance hjave we, when all we hear
Is language such as this:
"Ze precious sing !" VOI .wootsy woots!"
"His mnzzer's tunnin' petl" j
"Ze itty, pitty, witty toots 1"
"Now what does danma det?" ;
They te'l me that a dtink's a "dink,"
My fingers "flngies" are;' .
And think is "sink," or also "fink,"
And that a car's a "tar."
With "tumpty tump," and "bow. wow
wow,"
, And "diddly, diddly, dee," , t
And other phrases that,. I vow, . j
Are useless, quite, to me.

' PIONEER SHEEPRAISING.
Hon. Edward Huggius, on of
the ', honored pioueers who first
found the great Paget Sound coun
try, is contributing some very in
teresting articles to the Sunday
Oregonian, in one of which he says:
June, 1857, just after the disas
trous Indian war, the Indians had
begun to feel that they could leave
their homes and seek work among
the few white settlers then in the
Puget Sound country.' A number
of Indians, male and female, had
been engaged by the Puget Sound
Agricultural company, at Fort
Nisqually, to wash aud shear
sheep. This work had always been
done by the natives, with the ; as
sistance of a few white men and
Kanakas, until the outbreak of the
Indian war, whioh prevented ' the
Indians from leaving ' the protec
tion of their agencies.
The sheepshearing season had
always been a time of rejoicing
imong the Indians. The men did
the washing, and assisted in the
packing of the woo), and the
women and girls did the shearing.
For the washing part of the work,
about 15 or 20 men and boys would
be engnged, and for shearing, from
30 to 40 women and girls. A man
would catch the sheep and carry it
to'the women, who "would be seat-'
ed upon the floor of a large store
room, called the shearing-house,
with an Indian mat under tbem.
One would take the fore part and
the other , the hind end of the
sheep, the legs of which would be
tied to prevent the poor brute
from kicking and struggling when
under the shears. Some of the
workers were skillful and others
the reverse, and often the poor
animal would, when leaving' the
hands of th sheareers, be covered
with its own blood. Sometimes
these wounds would not be found
until a few days afterwards. The
poor, suffering animal would be
gin to grow thin, and upon exami
nation it would be found that flies
had penetrated under the wounded
skin and laid the foundation for
thousands of maggots, which were
slowly eating the flesh' of the ani
mal. Aq application of ointment,
or a little kerosene soon got rid of
the pests, and the sheep would
soon recover and become, fat and
hearty. After the sheep were
shorn, they w.ere carried to a place
near by and dressed with a decoc
tion of tobacco and corrosive sub
limate, which would speedily kill
ticks and vermin. The entire flock
which in 1850 numbered between
11,000 and 12,000, was generally
dressed with this preparation two
or three times a year.
To show the deadly character of
sheep scab, I will relate an inci
dent. Alter being retired; from
the U. 8. army, Col... Ilaller for
some years owned a farm on Wbid
by's Island. Sometime in the '70s
be requested me to obtain for him
100 or more gimmer ewes, that is,
ewes about 12 or 18 months old,
and ship them to his place. , I in
formed him that such sheep were
difficult to obtain, but fortunately
a neighbor of mine, Harry Barnes,
had about that number which he
would sell at $3 each. This I con
sidered very cheap, as sheep were
then in demand because of the
prevailing high price of wool. I
clonely inspected th sheep and
handled almost all of them, and
informed the Colonel that they

were a fine lot of sheep in prime
condition, showing not the slight
est sigus of being scabby. He Ht
once accepted the sheep, and di
rected me to ship at once. I was
a little disappointed at this, as I
had made up my mind, had he re
fused to take thm, to purchase
the lot myself, feeling aesured that
before winter came I could easily
dispose of them at a profit of at
least $1 a head. However, 1 at
tended to instructions, and the
sheep, in due time, were landed on
Whidby's Island. I had been put
to a great deal of trouble in the
matter and the compensation I re
ceived was altogether inadequate
for the labor performed, but the
Colonel paid my bill without com
ment. I had not charged much
for my own services because, when
the Colonel was in command of
Fort Steilacoom during the Indian
war, in 1856, our families had been
on terms of close intimacy, and
what I did was in great measure
for the sake of auld lang syne. A
few months after the sheep inci
dent I received a letter from , the
Colonel which completely stag
gered me.
He said be regretted having
asked me to purchase sheep for
him, for the little band of ew.es I
had sent him were sorely afflicted
with scab, had lost half or more,
of their fleeces, some of them had
died and what he was troubled
about most was that the wretched
gimmer sheep had infected hib
other sheep, and the island, which
nefore this had never bad a scabby
sheep upon it, was now a hotbed
of sheep disease, all caused by my
having foisted upon him a lot of
infected animals. Of cou rse I was
much troubled at receiving such a
letter, and at once knew that the
Colonel was entirely ignorant of
the nature of the sheep scab.
1 wrote a long letter in reply,
telling Col. Ilaller how easily the
little band of healthy ewes I had
sent him could have contracted
scab on board the steamers which
conveyed them from Steilacoom.
These vessels carried all kinds of
animals, and many of the sheep
forming their cargo were badly
infected, and of course the pens
which held the sheep on board
were badly infected. I am inclined
to hink, that the, Colonel never
forgave me, and in spiteof all my
assurances to the contrary, thought
I had gotten rid of a lot of mv own
diseased sheep, to a friend, at a
price iar beyond their real value,
if such animals had any value at
all. If Haller had only had his
sheep dipped in the usual decoc
tion used, all the bad consequences
would have been prevented, and,
perhaps, the bad feeling which fol
lowed would not have occurred.
HIS 8TEP8.
The Washington Standard says:
Br. C. M. Sheldon, that eccentric
preacher, who last year tried to edit a
paper as Christ would conduct it, if he
might come down to earth and under
take the job, has again made himself
notorious, by insisting upon walking
from a church in Brooklya to Carnegi?
Hall, Manhattan, to keep two engage
ments, because he was opposed to the
Sunday service of cars and vehicles of
all kinds, and would not, therefore, ride
in them. The consequence was that he
was an hour late, and kept an impatient
congregation waiting, and it is now a
question with him whether tbe sup
pressed profanity of bis auditors was
not a greater infraction of morality than
would have been a tiunday ride in the
cars. Some men are too good for Earth
and should be translated to their
heavenly home before making them
selves ridiculous in sight of their fellow
men or bringing aacred things into
ridicule.
AWFUL DEATH.
Last Monday Peter Davis, an
old resident of this county met
with an accident that caused his
death.
Mr. Davis, who is 80 years of
age, went up Mill creek to get a
load of wood. About 4:30 John
Beneiield came down the creek
and hearing some one halloowing,
went to the rescue. There a fear
ful sight met his gaze. Mr. Davis
lay beside his wagon with the lines
wrapped aronnd his right leg and
half hitched around his foot with
bis left leg crushed into a jelly
from the knee to the hip, and the
wagon had passed between his legs
and over the left groiu. His bauds
also bore evidence that the wheel
had run over one of tbem and the
other one badly bruised.
He was badly bruised about the

PASSION PLAY PIETY.
Concerning the Passion Play
which is acted out every day in
the Bavarian village of Oberraru
mergan, Jerome Hart writes in the
San Francisco Argonaut as follows:
Alienists and other skeptic spe
cialists say that "fervent piety" is
a rorm ot mild mania. If the re
ligions fervor of these peasauts be
madness, there is certainly method
in their madness. In 1890 they
took in three-quarters of a million
marks as gute-nioney for their per
formance for piety. They gave
a quarter of a million marks in
salaries to performers for piety.
Some 50,000 marks went to house
owners for rooms rented for piety.
Each of the following funds re
ceived 10,000 marks hospital,
drainage, public fountains, paving,
fire-engines, paupers, soldiers, par
ish church, singing lessons, agri
culture, carving school all for
piety. Among the performers, the
man who played Jesus Christ re
ceived 2000 marks for piety. The
leader of the band, 1300 marks
for piety. Even the six-year-old
children in the tableaux received
40 marks each for piety. There
is nothing like making children
pious when they are young. A
little Oberammergau angol who
gets 40 marks for being pious when
he is six years old may grow up to
be a Caiaiphas and get 400 marks
for being pious when he is GO.
Anton Lang, the man who plys
Jesus Christ, in addition to re
ceiving 2000 marks for his play
acting, has made some 5000 marks
this year by the sale of his photo
graphs, autographs and poems.
The "fervent piety" of the vil
lagers seems to an unprejudiced
person to be highly commercial
ized. Everything is for sale.
Every bed in the village is for sale.
Every seat in the theatre, every
litre of milk, every hen and every
egg, at a pious price. If you have
a camera you may not use it, as
the concession for photographing
has been Bold for piety. If you
wish to have stenographic notes
taken of the play, you are stopped,
as the right of republication has
been sold for piety. And as for
the "homely, simple, unspoiled
villagers," they strike me as being
more practical than pious. The
vjllers way. have been simple,
fervent and unspoiled creatures in
the old days, but they are not now.
The tourist agencies have spoiled
that. When you ean hire in Lon
don the Virgin Mary's best front
bedroom for 20 marks per duy it
removes the glamour.
Those who babble of the simple
villagers, their being children of
nature, and their intuitive ability
as actors and actresses, will find it
difficult to explain why the simple
villagers should hire skilled stage
managers and professional costuiu
ers to help them. Yet to the non
gusher the reason is not difficult to
find. It is easy to drill ignorant
people so as to make them march
and group thempelves in effective
tableaux. It is easy to design
handsome costumes, and so to ar
range their wearers on the stage
as to make the color-masses unique
and effective. In short, any kind
of human beings can be utilized as
stage-supers, banner-bearers and
clothes-racks. But when it comes
to utilizing them for histrionic
purposes, it requires human beings
with some brains and a talent for
acting.
As for the Oberammer gushers
who talk of the idyllio simplicity
of the old days, the religious fer.
vor, and the primitive piety of the
peasants, ana all that sort ot re
ligious legend, one may be par
doned for taking it with a great
deal of salt. Up to a very recent
period the devil was the principal
character in the Passion Play, and
its greatest scene was that in
which he tore open the bowels of
the suicide, Judas Iscariot, and
produced long strings of sausages,
which he distributed to the admir
ing and pious Budience of peas
ants. From the point of view of
f.'ood taste, the pious commercial
peasant of today is perhaps better
than his primitive pious brother of
some years ago.
