PIGGY got into large yard where he
did not belong, and trying to get out again
he stuck fast under high board fence, and
there began to kick and squeal in the good
old way. His master, 4 big, fat lrishman,
hearing the humbub, ran out of his house
near by and caught his pig ty tho ears, en-
deavoring to pull him through the hole be-
fore his tresspass was detected. But this
treatment had 40 effect but TO make the
pig yell the more. An old ram in the yard
hearing the noise, and seeing piggy's hind
legs and tail lourishing away in II menac-

was challenge, and lowered his Ihead

To PRESERVE BREAD LONG TINE
Cut the bread into thick slices, and bake in
an oven, SO as to render it perfectly dry.
In this condition it will keep good for any
length of time required, II must, how
ever, be carefully kept from pressure 9TH
erwise owing to its britteness, it will soon
fall to pieces. When required for use, dip
the bread for an instant into warm water,
and then hold it before the fire till dry :;
then butter it, and it will taste like toast.
This is useful way of preserving bread
for voyages, and also any bread that may
be too stale to be eaten in the usual way.
