The LATEST STYLE.-The Provj-
dence Journal says: ave have gone
through with every kind Of wedding
card, from the simply written invita-
tion to the most elaborate copper
plate, adorned with letter, mono
gram, or family coat-of-arms. We
have had cards for wooden weddings,
written on the thinest possible shay
ing, cards for silver weddings in let
ters of silver, and for golden we'd
dingsin letters ofgold. And we have
had weddings with mo cards. But
the latest feature in cards which
come to our knowledge is that an
nouncing the birth ofa son and heir,
the name Of the said son and heir
being given without those of the par
ents, so that the card seemingly comes
from the infant itself. When this
card met our astonished gaze, we
could not help exclaiming, what
will come next?' This card bears
first the initial letter of the family.
then comes the name of the infant,
followed by the date of its birth,
and the place of residence. Whether
this is fashion that will take or
not remains to be seen. Should it
prevail, in a addition to the parapher-
MALTA supposed to be absolutely need
ed on the occasion of the birth of a
child, hereafter must be added to it
the extra labor of getting out cards
to announce the advent of another
olive branch around the table,"

THE HERALD.


Brood sows require especial atten-
ton before and after pigging. They
should be fed sparingly on light food
for a day or two after they have had
pigs, then as much nourishing food
a. they will eat, for no SOW can fur.
nish milk enough for Q large and
growing family with scant food. If
you want the pigs to become proper
" developed, they must BIO supplied
with milk or other food IA soon as
they will cat. Pigs treated thus will
pay twenty per cent. better than
those that are neglected. Care should
be taken TO have each SOW separate
some timo before pigging, and not
allowed too much bedding, as there
10 less danger of smothering her pigs
than when much litter is allowed.
We prefer ground food, cooked or
scsldod, for pigs st sill times. For
young pigs, corn and oats ground
together is the best Pigs weaned at

they are sent out with no clothes at

parts of the body. A stout, strong
man goes out in q cold day with
gloves and over coat, wooden stock

A MAD LION STRANaLEp by A MAJ

A MAD LION Stranded BY A MAN
"A MEXICAN AocoUNT-A RABID
LIoN.-The Periodico Official, OF
Monterey, Mexico, has the following
In the Meco river, near the village
of General Brave, an incident has
just taken place which is worthy of
mention. Two young brothers, Eu-
genio and Jose Maria, sons of Don
Francisco Cautu, were engaged at
cleaning out we'll at a place called
Los Positos. Suddenly rabid lion
appeared, and as quick as lightning
rushed upon one of the young men,
Eugenio, knocking him senseIess to
the ground. The other young man,
who is twenty years of age, on see
ing the imminent danger of his
brother, rushed in turn upon the
beast, who Immediately abandoned
his prey and furiously faced tho one
who intended TO dispute him.
Jose Maria possesses sxtraordi-
nary strength, and having succeeded
in drawing his arms around the beast
in an advantageous manner, he at
tempted to choke it. The young
man and beast rolled on the ground
for some time, and finally the beast
freed itself from the hold of its OPP
pressor, in dying condition, and the
brave Cautu finished killing it by
smashing its head with an agricultu-
raj instrument which he was using
at the time when he was attacked
The two young men were hurt more
or less; the beast was attacked by
by drophobia.

Jews in the city of Jerusalem are
perishing from famine. In London
On association has been formed for
the purpose of relieving present dis
tress and for establishing permanent
industrial institutions among them.
Perhaps among no class of people
are tho poor and disabled of their
own kind better cared for than by
the Hebrews. From this country,
therefore, we do not doubt that q
large sum will be sent to Jerusalem
and that measures will be taken to
cooperate with the London society.

SHEEP AT THE WEsT.-A writer in
the Western Farmer thinks that no
crop gives back so literally as grass,
when used for sheep pasturage, and
through long series of years no
crop gives . greater net income to the
farmer. In this calculation, trouble
and vexation saved are taken into
consideration, and also the continued
improvement given in fertility of
soil. The writer argues thus "The
fact is, wheat and corn cropping is
fast running vast regions in the West.
The grain is sold, the fodder burned
or hauled off and fed in some lot or
pen, and there left to waste. What
is y remarkable fact, is, that those
farmers who exhaust the soil most,
are most negligent in returning back
to the soil the accumulated litter OF
the stable or barnyard. All parts of
farming pay, in long series of years,
if judiciously used, avoiding all " aste
of the different parts, and thereby
tho land is kept mp; and in the end
no cropping will pay that fails to
keep up the fertility-and none but
mixed husbandry will, unless it be
sheep.
