A Test Case.

Some years ago a German named
Steineberg came to the United States
and became a naturalized citizen. Dur
ing his residence here son was born to
him. When this son was ten years Of
age, Steincberg returned to Germany
and resumed allegiance to the German
empire. Lately the son, who is twenty
years of age, was drafted into the Ger
man army. He disputed the right of
Germany to exact military service from
him, asserting that he was by birth an
American citizen, and appealed to the
State department for protection. Young
Steineberg asserts that he never re-
nounced his citizenship, and argues that
his removal from the United States was
beyond his control. The case has been
referred to the attorney general, and is
considered by him one of great import
anco and intricacy.

Half a Hog Apiece.

Statistics carefully collected by the
Department of Agriculture reveal the
startling fact that within the United
States at this present moment there are
son the hoof" no less than 10000 900
head of hogs. Exclusive of aged tooth
less persons and young infants, and
those who abstain from pork as an un-
clean thing, there are now living in the
United States just about 36,OOO,OOO
human beings. The altogether appalling

obvious, the horrible convlctlom s Gi6 Being To9
forced upon us that, within the ngz3
twelvemonth, each individual able
bodied man, woman, and child within
the boundaries of this misguided land,
where once was liberty, must eat half a
hog, or disturb the export and import
equilibrium of the world.

TrOuhle Ahead.

"See that fat man, don't you Jack ? ,
queried a bootblack at the post office;
" well, he's laying up heaps of trouble.
When you see man named johnson,
for instance, slying around to the gener-
al delivery window and getting little
pink envelopes directed to DE Forest
he's standing on the verge of the grave.
The first thing he knows, his wife i'll
come down here and get hold of one of
those purity little letters, and then she'll
unite her bonnet strings and mop her
husband all over these flags, and the
public II get up'n 'rah for her sidel"

maintenance, never wearing out then

and consciontiously abstaining from all
agitation of the labor question in any OF
its phases"

How does a Spider Make its Web !

Here is poser put by writer in Sci
ence Gossip, which some of our readers,
who have watched the habits of spiders
may be able to answer How does a spider
make its web, the lines of which, cross
ing at the center, are carried, some of
them, to the surrounding objects, while
others are fastened to an outer circular
line, made evidently before the outer
circular lines of the woof are formed ?
Where does the spider place itself when
it elects the lines which form the spokes
Of the wheel

Good Bread.

To have good bread farmers wife
advises to take to the mill, when the
water is neither too high nor too low,
enough of your finest wheat to last you
six months or year, cleaned as you
would clean it I0r seed. Tell your
miller you are in no hurry; you wish
him to grind it when he can do his best.
When you take your -four home store it
loosely in barrels and keep it in cool,
dry place. And 1 care not whether you
have red, white, or amber wheat, new
process flour, or old process, you will
have good flour. Next, to provide for
your wife's use a good stove or brick
oven, as she may prefer, and then see
that she has plenty of good, sound, dry
wood, split fne-about as much de-
pends on the baking as ON the making.
