money amid the burning sands and
dense swamps of Florida, receiving
little benefit and less pleasure from
their outlay, having nowhere to go,
except throngh the sand, with poor
hunting, and very few other att,ac-

pleasant little town. On the compile.

easy access to the traveller or tourist,
We confidently expect Lake Charles

on the margin of splendid sheet Of
fresh water well stocked with fish of
all kinds, will afford endless pleasure
and employment to the disciples Of
Isaac Walton, while yacht clubs and
rowing beats have ample room and
splendid water to exercise in. The

Essay on the Pig

Pigs are very useful animals. When
they are alive they are great help
to farmers by showing them where
the fences need repairing; and when
they are dead the bladders are nice
to blow up. A pig is about the size
of dog, but his fur is coarser than q
dogs. But a pig is more of hog
than dog is, for he will gulp down
enough swifl for him to swim in lit
tie pigs when they are just Matched
are very cunning. They have little
tails that curl SO tight over their backs
they sometimes lift them off their
hind feet. When they get older they
get pig-headed. They want to have
their own way about everything, and
you can't drive them worth cent.
The only sure way to drive big pig
ia to 60 ahead of him with an ear Of
corn and say Woosty, woosty." Pigs
don't bark like dogs do nor you can't
set them after bad boys; but they are
better for sausages than dogs. But
pigs are awful to sqn-al. Ny Uncle
John says you can make a swinett
that will beat piano by taking pigs
Of different sizes and fastening their
tails through holes so you can pull
them. never heard swinett played
but they must be nice. Pigs don't
live as long as dogs, because their
windpipes are apt to be affected when
they grow up. When they are dead
