The Story of the Pig.

A friend of ours was arguing in favor
of, buying large pigs in the spring, de-
claring it to be very much better than to
buy small oues, as they would eat but
little more.
A neighbor differed from him in opin-
ion, whereupon he told a story, which, in
the language of the day, took down his
opponent, and all hearers decided that
small pigs eat some
"Last spring." said he, "I bought a
little pig from drover, and he was good
for eating, but wouldn't grow much. He
got SO, after a week or two, that he
would eat a bucketful at a time, and
then, like Oliver Twist, would call foI
more"
"Well, what of it2 What has that got
to do with"
"Hold on 1 was goin' to tell you
One morning carried out water-buck-
ct full of provender, and after he had
swallowed it all, 1 picked up the pig and
put him in the same bucket that I had
fed him from, and he didn't half fill Il
up!"
Curious, isn't it2 And can real "sci.
ence" explain the phenomena?

Halloween.

On Halloween all the witches, demons,
fairies, and aerial people who have out
lived the attacks of scientific criticism
were supposed to be abroad, disporting
themselves as best they might. All
Saints Day followed, which, in the
Christian world, has been general feast
since the ninth century. Halloween is
yet in origin pagan institution, and
was known long ago in the British Isles
and the Norseland in the times of the
Druids. 1t is celebrated with merry
rites, the efficacy of which is more than
half believed in by even the well-to-do
people in the northern counties of Eng
land and in Scotland, and it were pity
should they ever die out, being so pleas
ant and harmless. The customs here
with connected have been brought to
this country by yeoman immigrants,
and will be practised in many farm
house far out in the country tonight, as
well as in many city homes. Cakes and
ale, nuts and apples, will be abundantly
eaten and drunk games will be played,
and there will be good times every
where. Youngsters will "duck for ap-
pies" and bring them up from the bot
tom of the water-tub in their teeth-a
matter which is by no means easy for
one unaccustomed to it, since ones eyes
must be kept wide open under the water,
and the mouth open, too, sufficiently
wide to hold the fruit. Girls who wish
to see their future husbands will take a
thimbleful of salt before retiring for the
night, get to bed backwards, and, look
in at the moon-if there be one-say
Thou moon, fair moon, hail thee!
Grant this night that may
Who my true lover is to bs.
And, of course, when they awake thirsty
from their salt, the lovers mystic forms
will bring them real water to drink. A
volume would hardly describe all the
customs of the eve, so many and varied
are they, and all are of "merry pleas
ance."

Sea Sickness.

A man who has been sick unto death,
and very often, at sea, writes an account
of recent voyage to India, and how he
circumvented the attack:
My remedy was this did not, like
many sanguine passengers who felt so
well and jolly with the sea-breeze and
still water, go down to dinner, but sat
quietly on deck till such time as l felt a
little hungry, and then went down to
my berth, had some toast, lying down,
though it was then rough and we were
in the open sea- and slept well during
the evening and through the night, l
did not get up the next day, though L
felt quite well, but by the stewards IA
vor ate good breakfast and dinner iy--
ing in my berth. arose on the third
morning, feeling perfectly WELL and from
that day and all through my voyage, L
took my meals at table, ate heartily, hay
ing found, as 1 then believed, and still
am assured of, a perfect cure tor sea-
sickness. may mention that fully one
third of the passengers were sick, and a
number did not make their appearance
at table till day or two after me, and
can only attribute my unwonted I'M
munity from this miserable complaint to
lying in my berth till such time as my
system had become accustomed to the
rolling and pitching motion.

NeMSnaDer Advertisements.

Why is anything made public, but in
the belief that it will be of interest to
others? Why is it announced that Isaac
and Rebecca were married on certain
day last week, but on the supposition
that it will give youpleasure to know it ?
Read in this light, the commonest adver-
tisements which crowd our papers have
a kindly order about them. Say not with
cynic sneer-as though you were
doubtful whether there was anything
honest in the world-when storekeeper
advertises his wares, that it is all sheer
selfshness, for if it is pleasant for one to
announce fresh supply of tallow and
wool, hardware, or muslins, is it not just
as pleasant for one who wishes to know
it? Business advertisements Waste
paper! You know not what you say.
Those ships which are to sail for every
harbor in the world those fabrics which
have arrived from every commercial
malt on the earth this iron from Rus
sia, tea from China, cotton from Georgia,
sugar from Louisiana - do they not
preach to us at the corners of the streets,
at the entering of the gates, in our docks
and in custom-houses and exchanges
sermsns on the mutual dependence Of
mankind? ?
The Elk County advocate. [volume] (Ridgway, Pa.) 1868-1883, 1872-11-14
Russian SuperstitiOns.

Birth and death, as we'll as marriage,
the Greek Church invest with symbols
and solemnities.a When an infant is
day old, priest is summoned to give it
name and reads prayers for the re-
covery of the mother. The calendar is
searched, and the name of some saint
chosen whose festival falls within the
week of the child's nativity at least
this is the proper and pious mode Of
procedure. The one selected becomes
thenceforth the patron saint, the angel
of the boy or girl and the festival day
is his or her names day, a day for plea
sure and gifts and congratulations.
Thus the present Emperor bears the
name of st. Alexander Nevski, and his
names day by our calendar, which is
twelve days in advance of the Russian,
the l1th of September-a day for illumi-
nations and rejoicing throughout the
Empire. These days are begun by de-
vout attendance on mass; then an enter
tainment is provided for friends who, to
show their interest, drop in without
special invitation, and the evening is
concluded with mirth and dancing. In
Russians eyes his angel is most pre-
eious and potent; sacred intelligence
watching over Iall his life, and waiting
to receive him when it is ended.

Life i'm New York,

Despite the laws against" " pretty waiter
girls" and the occasional raids upon sa-
looms especially obnoxious on this ac-
count, not even the palmiest days of
"444" and "The Louvre" before the
war, could show more activity in this
branch of gas-light entertainment than
one now sees. "Murderers Block" on
Broadway, is glare of light from early
evening until early morn. Candy pits
yawn at every step, with glittering pic
tured announcements of the attractions
within, whence come sounds of what
may pass for music, punctuated, on oc-
casiens not always 80 rare, with the pop
of the joyous pistol. 1t may truly be
said that, with all its pretensions to a
recovery of virtue and a suppression OF
indictments to vice, this city was never
more openly supplied with the means OF
debauchery than at present. The cos
tuning of the haggard creatures who
have taken the place of the "pretty
waiter girls of yore is even more repre-
hensible to the strict moralist. 1t con-
sists of the dress of the theatrical page
only more exaggerated, ii possible, and
while the effect is somewhat unpleasant
in inclement weather, the fact of its high
favor with the frequenters of these re-
sorts is attested by the throngs that are
found here long after the meridian oi
night is passed and when the milk
wagons have left the hydrants to rattle
through the deserted streets on theil
morning tour. The immense rents, too
paid by these establishments, located on
the best part of Broadway, give evidence
of their prosperity.-M Y Paper.

A Pathetic Sheep Story.

The st. Louis Democrat prints this
beautiful little story "There is COW
cred bridge at Peoria 500feet above high
water mark. A drover recently attempted
to drive 1000 sheep across it. When
about half way over, the bellweather
noticed an open window, and, recognizing
his destiny, made strike for glory and
the grave. When he reached the sun
light he at once appreciated his critical
situation, and, with a leg stretched to-
ward each cardinal point of the compass
he uttered plaintive Ma-ap and de,
scended to his fate. The next sheep and
the next followed, initiating the gesture
and the remark of the leader. For hours
it rained sheep. The erewhils placid
stream was incarnadine with the life
blood of moribund mutton, and not un-
til the brief tail of the last sheep as il
disappeared through the window waved
adieu to this wicked world did the move,
ment cease"

The Throw Stick.

Sir Walter Elliot has traced to East
India a curved "throw stick" resemb-
ling, but differing from, the Australian
boomerang, inasmuch as it does not re-
turn to the hand swhen thrown. The
Indian "throw stick" is found among
the rude races inhabiting the mountain
and forest tracks of Central and Western
India In waste and jungle tracks tho
people turn out In great numbers during
the hot season, commencing on the first
day of the Hindu new year in March,
and continued on every succeeding Sum-
day till the monsoon begins. Hares,
deer, hog, pea-fowls, partridges, ETC.,
raised by this lowly race of beaters, each
carrying a throw stick" are knocked
over by showers of these weapons thrown
with great force and precision.
From the form of such sticks, which
are from II to 2 feet long and to 6
inches broad, thrown with the concave
side foremost, the author deduced the
foIm assumed by the iron weapons sub
sequently formed by the same races.
Professor Huxley, in classifying the va
rieties of the human race exclusively for
physical characters, had included under
one head the people of New South Wales,
of the Highlands of Central India, and
of Ancient Egypt, all of whom he in
cludes under the term Australoid. Now
it is remarkable coincidence that among
these three far distant peoples the
throw stick" was the weapon of the
chase, and that examples do not occur
in the intermediate countries. The pic
lures in the tombs of the kings at Thebes
curved sticks found at this day in India
are extensively represented. The bome-
rang of Australians precisely of the same
form, but, being thinner and lighter, is
so fitted as to have a recoiling property.

Texas Cattle Fever.

~Our western exchanges have already
begun their periodical fusilade against
the transportation of Texas cattle across
their territory, upon the alleged ground
that the disease known as "Texas cattle
fever" follows in the wake of these
Texas cattle drovers. There are some
singular, if not suspicious facts con-
nected with this TRADE against the Texas
cattle in reference to the disease in ques-
ton, few of which we propose to no
tice in the interest of common Justice.
1t is fact not generally known, per-
haps, that Texas cattle do mot have the
Texas cattle fever and those who are
without interest in the matter cannot
regard it otherwise than very singular
fact that Texas cattle impart to the cattle
of Missouri and Illinois disease which
they do not have.
During the late war large numbers of
Texas cattle were driven to and through
Louisiana by the Confederate authori-
ties for the use of the Confederate
forces at Vicksburg and Port Hudson.
These cattle were driven across the
country, herded on the range till re-
quired, and many of them wintered in
the cane region of Eastern louisiana
where they had free and constant inter
course with the native stock of the coun-
try, and yet not single case of Texas
cattle fever was ever developed from this
contact. The unsophisticated, who are
without interest in the matter, would
regard this as another singular fact.
But Louisiana cattle were not compe-
ting with the Texas cattle in the beef
market, hence they obstinately refused
to contract any disease from them, and
they were particularly cautious not to
contract disease which these Texas
cattle did not have. ....5..
Some four years ago an Arkansas cor
respondent of Colman's RuroI World de-
tailed the fact that "thc disease (Texas
cattle fever) commenced its ravages in
Arkansas in 1916, killing thousands of
cattle, while no such thing was known
in Texas at that time. 1t continued to
rage for ten years, and disappeared about
the time Texas cattle were introduced"
Now here is an array of facts adverse
to the theory that Texas cattle imparts
this disease, that is worthy of considera-
ton. And when we remember the ad-
ditional fact that Texas cattle are formi-
dable competitors of the cattle OF Mis-
souri, and Illinois in the beef markets of
the North and East, make case against
the assumptions of the interested parties
of the States named which will require
more conclusive proofs than have thus
far been adduced, to satisfy us that they
are justified in the unfriendly legislation
that has been enacted upon this subject
