None of the Wanganui owners arc gazetted, although it is from Wanganui the infected sheep recently came. Shammy. —Many persons suppose that chamois skins are derived from the animal named the chamois. In fact, the skins so called are the flesh side of sheepskins, soaked in lime water and also in a solution of sulphuric acid. Fish oil is poured over them, and they are then carefully washed in a solution of potash.

When is a man not elated ? When he is belated.
