"A Portsmouth IN. H.) man lost his
pig from its sly in mysterious way the
other day. A vigorous search of the
neighborhood did not reveal its where
abouts. Two days later, as the sad owner
was standing by the deserted pen medi-
tating upon his loss, he cast his eye
toward barrel that stood on end within
few feet of the Enclosure and noticed
something feebly reckoning him to az
proach. He looked again-it was pigs
tail. He walked along quickly and
looked into the barrel and there was
piggy with scarcely breath of life left
in him. The pig had evidently fallen
into the barrel when he jumped from the
pen and had stood on his head for two
days and nights while his owner was
hunting all over the city to lind him.
"A stable-keeper in Rochester, N. Y,
has hack-horse of which the following
stories are told: At the end of the
stable is a water faucet, under which has
been placed large Tub for the horses to
drink from. When this animal is thirsty
he scorns the use of the tub. but turns
on the faucet with his teeth and holds
his head under the running stream until
his thirst is quenched, then turns the
faucet off again, and with knowing look
at his observers trots back to his stall.
During the present spell Of cold weather
the water has been allowed to run to pre-
vent it freezing in the pipes. One even
ing when the men were elsewhere en-
gagged he went for a drink in his usual
manner and after he got through turned
the faucet off. The consequence was the
pipes got frozen up and had to be thawed
out before the horse could quench his
thirst in his accustomed manner. Aft
davits in support Of these statements
most people will regard as necessary.

An Alsatian iron manufacturer of

in Paris on the score that he could not

en- naasse his funeral in the Protestant
Church. His dying will was that he
should be temporarily buried in Switzer-

to his native Alsace whenever it should
be recovered by France, if they had to

The famous "French Academy"

and studied one to boot, as the French
say, although they all and each would
like to belong to it. This academy
keeps up the dictionary, coins and ap-
proves words, and REJECTS slang; it has
been mainly instrumental in pairing the
language down to very narrow point,
almost as narrow as the peaked finger

Horace and Ovid.
1t is safe to assert that lease for 900

Woolwich, and was church property
1000 years ago, but was leased to the
crown for military purposes. Few in

"could speak more eloquently of the
stability of English institutions and the
law-abiding nature of Englishmen and
their respect for the rights of property
than that there should be an unbroken
continuity of possession from the time
of Alfred the Great to that of Queen
Victoria"
