A Docs RACE WITH LOCOMOTIVE
Passengers in the noon train Sunday, on
the Boston and Providence road, were
quietly interested in pointer dog, The
canine would not violate the rules which
forbid passengers to stand on the platform,
and he was too modest to enter the pas
senger car, which was crowded principally
by ladies. His master was in dilemma,
and before he had time to resolve what to
do. the train started, and so did the dog
The locomotive whistle screeched, and the
dog yelped defiance as the race began.
At times the ambitious animal would be
ahead of the engine. and then he would
fall behind. Every window in the train
had head or two peering out watching
the race, and all sympathized with the dog.
He seen ed to realize that he was an object
of interest, as he would make an OCCASION
al squirt and show terrific speed Between
the Heath street station and Boylston the
Stony Brook runs under the railroad, and
the brid ge is not planked. The pointer
went pelI-mell between the guides and
down into the stream But he as sudden
y emerged and regained the track, and
reached Boylston just as the train stopped
Hab it been any other day than Sunday
the dog would have been saluted with
hearty cheers by the ladies and gentleman
whose interest he excited. AS it was, he
gave three yelps for himself and almos'
upset his master, so glad was he at meet
ing him on terra frma.-BoSton Times

DESIRABLE QUALITIES IN PIG.-Of all
the desirable qualities in pig, vigorous
appetite Is of the first importance. A hog
that will not eat, is of no more use than a
mill that will not grind. And it is undoubt-
edly true that the more a pig will eat in
proportion to size. provided he can digest and
's7imllate 1t the more profitable be will prove.
Tne next desirable quality is, perhaps, qu ct
ness OF disposition. The blood is derived
from food, and fish is derived from the
blood. Animal force i derived from the
transformation Of flesh The more of this is
used IN unnecessary motions, the greater the
demand on the stomach, and the more food
will there be required merely to sustain the
vital iuncti )Ds-and the more frequently
flesh is trans formed and formed again, the
tougher and less palatable it becomes. This
quality, quietness of disposition, combined
with a small amount of useless parts, or offt
has been the aim of all modern breeders.
Its Importance will readily be perceived if
we assume that seventy-fve per cent of food
is ordinarily consumed to support the vital
functions, and that the slight additional de
mand of only one-sxth more food, is required
tor the extra ohal parts and unnecessary ac-
slvlty. Such coarse, restless animal would
gain IN flesh and tat, in proportion to the
food consumed, only half as fast as the
quiet, refined animal. To assume that a
rough, coarse, savage, ill-bred mopgrel hog
will require only one sixth more food than a
quiet, refined well-bred Berkshire, Essex or
Suffolk, is not extravagant.

SAVE Your CURRANT BUSHES.
the currant worm was apparently disappear
ing last year, we need not expect to be en-
tirely free from them the coming season.
But few days will elapse before they will be-
gin their attack, and if the proper remedies
are used and properly applied, every bush
now living can be saved Those who have
lost their bushes Can, with COINCIDENCE, reset
them. They are moving like wave from
west to east. They made their fret appear
ance in western New York before there were
any signs of their advent in this vicinity, and
when they first begin there is no appearance
OF them, and evidently they showed them
selves much less last year than the year pre-
vIous. Therefore we can take courage and
start anew. The remedy is white helibore.
Don't be deceived with anything else, or try
xperiments-whiteh elibore is certain. The
best method of applying 1t Is to take a thin
cotton cloth about eight inches square, put
IN about two ounces of the powder, gather it
up around a stick two feet long, and tie it
On, making a kind of bag on the end of the
stick, and as soon as the blossoms begin to
develop, in the morning open the bushes.
and put the sack within about six inches OF
he ground and shake it SO that the powder
will rise aud lodge on the under side of the
young leaves and some on the ground. The
main point Is to lodg, the powder on the un-
del SHE of the leaf This well dore and your
bushes are safe; only to make it doubly sure
give another touch IN about ten days 50 that
II any escape, the.last dose will kill them.
" speak with confidence, We have gwen
battle to them six years and won and believe
in two years more We can lay down our arms.
The currant is a healthy. valuable fruit
nodseKeepers think 1t almost Indispensable
Tney are easily raised if properly cared for
by good manurlng, free from grass and
weeds. -.

Athens. Tenn. sends US piece of the stomach
OF his horse, which recently died, and which
N being opened was found to have the
stomach completely filed with bots. He
says the specimen sent is exactly cut from
the stomach with the bots as they were p ick-
I'd IN it. The worms are 30 inch thick on
the coat of the stomach, which was eaten
through 50 as to allow the bots TO pass into
the abdomen of the horse. 1t was bad case,
md proves conclusiveiy that the bots were
the cause OF death, producing by their i'm
mense numbers fatal inf animation and de-
5tructiOn OF the walls of the stomach. But IN
fortunately, nothing could have been done to
save this horse, excepting TO have prevented
The bots taking possession OF the stomach.

to lose their hold on the coats OF the stomach

the law OF their being, it being the place that
nature provides Tor them, and any medicine

Elimination of the horse's stomach. Pre-
vention is the only cure; and that IS, to de-

PRE-HIsToRIC CULTURE OF FLAX DIR.
Oswald Her, the eminent b0tanist, aud one
who has devoted SO much attention to the
structure and history of fossil plants, pub
fishes an article on fax and it's culture among
the prehistoric races of Europe. His me
moir may be summarized as follows: First.
fax has been cultivated in Egypt for five
thousand years, and that it was and Is one
of the most generally dfused plants of that
country. 1t occupied similar position III
ancient Babylonia, in Palestine, and on the
Black sea. 1t occurred in Greece during the
prehistoric period, and at an early date was
carried INTO Italy, where it's cultivation in
Spain was probably originated by the Phe-
nicians and Carthagenians. Second, it Is
also met with in the Oldest Swiss lacustrine
villages, while, at the same time, no hemp
or fabrics manufactured from wool are there
to BE- found. This is considered a remarka-
bic fact, since the sheep was one Of the oldest
domestic animals, and was known during the
stone period. The impossibllity of shearing
the sheep by means of stone or bone imple-
ments, is supposed to have been the reason
why wooden faDric5 were not used. 1t is
thought not unlikely that the skin, with its
attached wool, was probably made use OF for
articles of clothing. Third, the lake dwellers
probably received flax from Southern Europe,
from which section fresh seeds must have been
derived from time to time The variety cult
waited was the small, native -leayed
kind from the coast of the Mediterranean,
and not at all that now raised in Europe.
1t must, therefore, have been cultivated also
in southern Europe, although DIR. Heer could
not ascertain among what people and at what
age this took place. If this could be ascer-
tanned, it would be an important point in the
determination of the antiquity of the lake
jewellers. F,urt,. at the time of the empire
both summer fax and winter fax were cuiti-
