I
SHEEP AND Tht KttJ PLUTE
Herder* of P£iesti..e have Accu*
tomed Their Ai .r. ala tc. tne Sound
of Vveiru Music.
The pastoiui iite of the i'alettUie
peasant has always been a subject of
liiteiest anil a pleasant study. The
shepherd Is seen at his best iu the
spring when he has the cure of both
sneep aim lambs auu When ait his
luoughts are cenlei'eu on U:s seeming
ly muoleiil occupation.
Worn lor the tuiepnerii begins in
euinest with the minhing seusuu,
which commences tariy m January

mouths; uuring that time it is no un
usual sight to tee tne slicpnerii with
several newly uoru minus or luUs
stoiou away in the capacious luidt or
ills bosom auu tne niolhois in ciose
attendance.
"When heavy storms of snow or
rain come on the shelter or tome cave
has to be sought and a caroiul watch
against tne attacks of wad animals
kept. This watchfulness is not relaxed
on a line day, and the long ..ours on
the hillsides or plains are whiled away
In making music on the reed liute, or
which every shepherd is the maker
and player.
The music is an assurance to the
sheep that the shepherd is oil the
alen; let tile music cease for any
length of time and the flock will stop
grazing and look around lor their care
taker and leader. At night the sheep
are folded around the* village or camp
in which they belong. The fold is a
large inclosure, the wall of which is
made up of good sized stones piled
one on another. There is only one
entrance, which is narrow, for the
sheep as they enter have to "pass
under the rod" so that the owner may
count them and see that none are
missing.
To find good pasture and a quiet
resting place is tlie daily duty of the
shepherd, and in tlie long suninier
days Hie (lock rests during the heat
by some stream or under the shadow
of a great rock. Each sheep has its
name, !u which it will respond on be
ing called hy its keeper. In southern
Palestine the Hocks are tended by

youths and men. Sunday at Home.
Sirius the Master Sun?
Astronomers once believed that the
entire starry universe revolved around
a renter of attraction and thq star
named Alcyone, in the group of (lie
Pleiades, was selected hy Maedler as
marking that great (Miter. It has
long been known, however, that Maed
ler's conclusion, which was based on
(lie apparent motions of tlie stars, was
incorrect and if any universal center
exists it lias not yet been discovered.
In fact, many of (lie stars seem to be
moving in straight lines, some in one
direction and some in another; and
among these is our own sun. But it is
possible that further observations
will show that all (lie stars are really
moving in curved lines. In the mean
time it lias been found that there are
certain groups or sets of stars which
appear to travel together. To what
set. if any, the sun belongs, we do not
yet know, hut Delauney has presented
reasons for thinking that those stars
whose distances have been measured
l that is to say, those which are near
est to usi, group themselves around
Sirius, the dog star, in a manner simi
lar to that in which the inner planets
are grouped around the sun. If ihis
be correct, Sirius may possibly lie (tie
master sun of which our orb of day is
a distant satellite. Harper's Weekly.
Microbe Causes Lockjaw.
Lockjaw, known to medical men as
tetanus, is one of those terrible mal
adies which occasion great suffering
and baffle the best attempts of the
profession to successfully treat them.
Commencing with stiffness of the jaw
muscles, tetanus quickly goes on to
produce violent convulsions, which
utterly exhaust Its victim’s strength,
while preventing him from taking
food, owing to his being unable to
open liis mouth; hence its more popu
lar designation of "lockjaw.” investi
gations have shown that this dreadful
disease is due to a microbe which
commonly exists In ordinary soil and
the surface mud of tlie streets, which
habitat explains the reason why tet
anus frequently attacks persons who
have been injured in street accidents
and had their wounds contaminated
with refuse and dust from the road
way. Although no certain cure for
tetanus is yet known, progress is be
ing made with injections of “anti
tetanic serum."
The Father of Waters.
It was In the year 1519- 120 years
before the Mayflower reached Plym
outh rock that the Mississippi was
first seen by the eyes of a white man.
Proof was already at hand that Flor
ida was not an island, for in 1519 Al
varez de Pineda had followed that
coast as fnr as the site of Tampico in
Mexico, where he found Cortez and
his men. Pineda then turned back
and after a while entered the mouth
of the Mississippi, which he called
Kio de Santa Espiritu. lie seems to
have been the first European to sail
upon this great river. How far lie
ascended it is not clear, but he spent
six weeks upon its banks trading with
the Indian*.— .lolm Fiske.

Cured ot severe compound
cold and cough by
ytnbl
* “From Dec. 20, ’08, to March I, ’09,
1 had three had colds, one on top of the
other. I got so weak ! could hardly
get around. Nothing seemed to help
me until I began to take Vinol. The
change was magic. Three bottles com
pletely fixed that compound cold and
stopped the terrible cough—and what
surprises ine most, at the same time
It cured me of a severe stomach trouble
that has bothered me for 20 years.
Vlnol is certainly a wonderful medicine.
Mr.Toppan is one of Lynn’s most prominent and highly respected
merchants, whose word is as good as his bond. *
The reason Yinol is so successful in such cases is because it
contains the two most world-famed tonics—the medicinal, strength
ening, body-building elements of Cod Liver Oil and Tonic Iron.
