How A DEAD HOG KILLED MANA
negro man in the adjoining county OF Bald
win killed large hog in the woods He
opened the animal, and removed the en-
trails, and devised a method of carving the
pork, which was altogether s,a ge,le7Ts. This
manner of transportation was effected by
tying the hind legs together, passing hfs
being in front, easing the weight on his neck
by lifting on the fore legs with his hands. IL
is presumed that he got along remarkably
well until rail fence got in bis way, and, in
order TO climb this, he needed his hands. Ac-
cordingly, he relieved them by lifting the hog
over the top rail and letting IL drop on the
other side. II is presumed that he proposed
TO follow the hog, but he didn't. A few days
since congregation OF buzzards attracted
attention TO locality where a negro man
was found hanging on one side OF a rail fence
and hog on the other, the weight OF the AMI
NAL evidently having pressed his neck down
upon the rail until he was clicked TO death.

CYCLES IN EARrH's HIsToRY.-Amoug
the most popular of Prof. Tyndall's descrip-
tions is bis history OF drop of water. He
traces 1t as IL is lifted by the suns heat from
the surface Of the sea; carried aloft as an in
visible vapor; waited over the land; cooled
by and precipitated upon some mountain
peak, possibly in the snow and ice of a gla-
cier, or perhaps sinking below the surface as
rain, and reappearing in the spring that bub-
bles up in a valley; and at last, through rin
and rivulet and river, finding its way back
TO ocean again. Something like this has
been done for other substances than water,
by Professor Pumpelly, In a discourse be-
fore the National Academy of Sciences.
II has long been recognized that all the ma
terials of which the earth is formed, are in
course of being gradually washed into the
sea. Modern discovery has thrown much
light on the processes by which they are
transformed into the rocks and minerals of
good dry land again. The cycle OF these
changes is of course enormously greater than
that which Prof Tyndall describes. II re
quires eras Of time In which mountains must
wear away and ocean floors rise 10 the sur
face; compared with which the whole known
history Of the human race is an affair OF yes
terday. But though SO slow, IL Is continu-
Gus, and Is going on at this hour all over the
globe, inst as Ii has been ever since there was
any land lifted above the waters.

SPATrER- WoRK.-One of the simplest and
daintiest Of the home arts is the making of
pictures by "spatter-work". The following
directions for amateurs in the process we
take from the Scientific American: "Spat-
ter-wOrk pictures, usually delicate designs
in white, appearing upon softly shaded
ground. are now very popular, and are, with
a little practice, easily produced. Procure a
sheet of fine, uncalandered drawing paper,
and arrange thereon bouquet OF pressed
leaves, trailing vines, letters, or any design
which il is desired to have appear In white.
Fasten the articles by pins stuck into the
smooth surface, which should be underneath
the paper. Then slightly wet the bristles of
a tooth or other brush in rubber, Indian I'm k,
or common black writing ink, then draw
them across stick in such a manner that
the bristles will be bent and then quickly r.
leased. This will cause dne spatter ?, ,nk
upon the paper. Continue the spatto. ING over
all the leaves, pins and paper, allowing the
centre OF the pattern to rec., the most ink
the edges shading OFF. When done. remove
inc design, and tr.e forms will be found pro-
9nceu Win accuracy on the tinted ground.
WIN ar.stic wooden frame this forms a very
cneas and pretty ornament"

JOHN BLANCHARD'S AUNT.

She was talking of returning home
when young John, walking home
from school, one evening, was seen to
leap clear from the ground and heard
to exclaim:
81 II do it this very night
That evening his wearried aunt, re-
posing on the sofa, asked him to bring
her glass of water. Floating on top
OF the water was pumsin seed, rub
bed as smooth as glass, and securely
tied around the seed was silk thread
twenty feet lorg. She raised the
glass and down went the seed, and
pretty soon she coughed two or three
times and complained of tickling in
her throat. He reached out and gave
the string pull, and she sprang up
with yell.
"Did something bite you?' he in
quired, with great solicltude.
1--WE got ba 60 ha-hair in my
throat-a-h-h,' she gasped, cough
ing vigorously.
"May be you swallowed Lair
snake" he suggested, giving the
string another pull.
81 did did-a-h-h-a!' she
screamed; Il feel it biting mel"
Does it seem to move?' he asked,
as he jerked the string, and after "A
little investigation she found that it
was attached to something.
"WelI, now-you've swallowed
the toy | made for baby" he said, as
he hauled in on the string and lifted
her off the lounge.
She coughed-gaspei-made mo-
tion and rolled her eyes, and that boy
kept jerking the string, while hesym-
pathized with her, and demanded to
know how he could aid her. His
mother was down to the grocery, and
wien she returned she found he aunt
choking and coughing in the big arm
chair. and John stool ten feet of
holding the string and telling her to
cough hard while he pulled, 1t was
finally decided to cut the string,
close to her mouth and let her swallow
it but all that night she tossed and
groaned aud sighed for fear she had
swallowed lead nickle or hor.e-hy
instead of a pumpkin seed.
She took the car for home yester-
day, and when John serenely kissed
her goodbye at the depot, and slipp
ed a vel! worn euchre deck into her
pocket, she wiped her tears and said
that it seemed to her as if he wouldn't
live lnog-he Ma ~ good.
