The average shear* lng value of the American Angora is about $1 per head, but there is more money in an Angora shearing $1 per head than in a sheep shearing $1.00 per head, because the goat is longer lived, is much hardier, is not liable to disease, the goat eats a greater variety of feed, will come to the sheds lit night and *have many advantages ever the sheep.

Another substantial fragment of the ancient Roman wall that surrounded London haa just been discovered in Lewer Thames street between Fish (treat bill and Pudding lane. The wall ie known to have run through that district and the workmen engaged in soma new street work ware therefore asked to watch out for any sign of ancient remains. They were found at a depth of 20 feet. First came three layers of Roman lilea omhMldatd in mn<4av R?l thes* were thrse layers of roughlj :iewn piece* of Kentish rock about a foot in diameter. Lowest of all were mormons balks of timber about two feet square and mors than fire feet long, lying irregularly across the line ot the wall. These finds represent cnly the lowest fire feet of the wall, which was probably twenty feet or thirty feet high and seren feet or eight feet thick. This discovery necessitates a slight correction of the conjectural maps of Roman London that are now in existence, and it is hoped that further discoveries may be made in the same area, which is being carefully watched. REAL CHIVALRY IS NEEDED For This Reason the Order of World bcouts Is Worthy of Commendation. It was sot the principles of chivilry, but its aiTectations and exaggerations that Cervantea laughed out )f existence. There is as much room for real :hiralry in this workaday world as | iyst there was?perhaps more. On ; jsnsral principles such an organise- | ion as the Order of World Boouts, recently instituted in England, is to >e commended. Its purposes are to Ight against injustice, inhumanity ! md cruelty, and its principles are ' hose of charity, unity and lore.
