PRINCESS ALICE'S FATAL KISS.

The following beautiful "dedicatory poem
to the Princess Alice" by Mr.. TennysoD,
opens the new number of the nineteenth Gen.
furry:
"Dead Princess, living Power. II that which
lived
True life, live on-and II the fatal kiss,
Born of true life and love, divorce thee not
From early love and life-ff what we call
The spirit flash not all at once from out
This shadow into Substance-then perhaps
The mellow'd murmur OF the peoples praise
From thine own State, and all our breadth OF
realm,
Where Love and Longing dress thy deeds in
Assemble thee; and this March morn that
Thy soldier brothers bridal orange bloom
Break thro' the yews and cypress OF thy
grave
And thine imperial mother smile again,
Nav send one ray to thee! and who can tell
Thou-England's England-loving daughter
thou
Dying SO English thou would'st have her
flag
Borne on thy coffin-where is he can swear
But that some broken CLEAN from our poor
earth
May touch thee, while. remembering thee. /
At thy pale feet this ballad of the deeds
of England, and her banner in the East?"

A Good Word for the Pig.

DR.. Ballard, in q report which he
some time ago presented to IN English
Government Board on the "Efnuvium
N~uisances Arising in Connection with
the Keeping of Animals" bear the fol-
lowing testimony in favor of the pig:
"When the pig wallows in the mire
he merely follows an instinct implanted
in him in common with some other
pachydermatOus creatures, the object of
which is cutaneous cleansing. The mud
stands to him in the relation OF soap to
q human being, but instead of washing
it off with water he allows it to cake and
dry upon the skin, and then rubs it all
of, mud and cutaneous debris together,
upon some sufficiently rough surface.
Loose hair and cutaneOus scurf irritate
him, and he takes his own way of cleans
ing his skin from them. Cleanse his
skin for him and he will rest in content
ment, without offending the eyes of his
supercilious betters, often less scrupu-
lous in this matter than he is, by his wal
lowings, scratchings, and scrubbings.
1t has long been known that a pig thus
cleaned with soap and water not only
becomes less Objectionable, but grows
fat more speedily than il left to clean
himself in his own way. Similarly as
respects his food. Garbage is not the
food the pig selects by preference. In
fact, q pig which has been fed for any
time upon sweet food will turn away
from Soul and disgusting food. II left
to pick up his living where he can find
it, he will eat any thing he can find that
is eatable, but even will eat acorns, fall
en- fruit, or roots, in preference to gar
bage; and human beings in similar
straits will act precisely in the same way.
1t may be economical, and perhaps even
desirable, to convert into pork matters
which can in no other way, or in nc way
more convenient, be made s%ubservient
to the subsistence of mankind, and the
pig is perhaps properly utilized in this
manner. Our only desire is to vindicate
his character as q clearly feeder, if only
he has the chance of clearly feeding
~yOuchSafed him.

About Teeth.

Teeth have been both q source of
trouble and vanity to their possessors
from all time, a. they still continue to
be. Dentists were common among the
Egyptians, on the authority of Herodo-
tus, and the extraction of teeth was
known to the ancient Greeks. Spren-
gel, in his History of Medicine" says:
"Even surgical instruments were be-
queathed by the inventors to these sa-
cred shriDes o. medicine. Thus, Era
sistratus presented to the Delphic Tenn
pie of Apollo an instrument for ex-
tracing teeth" The Romans were
acquainted with the use of false teeth,
and they are mentioned both by Horace
and Martial. Among the ancient Jews
it was . violation OF the Sabbath to
wear q false tooth on that day. Teeth
which have been found at Pompeii
were very sound, q discovery which led
to the supposition that the people of
that ancient city did not indulge in the
luxuries which have attended the pro-
gressive march of civilization. Arti6-
eial teeth became known in England, it
is supposed, about the fifteenth or six
teenth century. They are mentioned
in the Mathematical Jewel" 1885;
and Ben Jonson. in the "Silent Wo-
man." refers to them: softer (speak-
ing of his wife)-A most vile face! and
yet she spends me E4O year in mercu-
~ and hogs bones All her teeth were
made in the Black Friars."-AH tie

A Female Burglar Shot.

Small articles having for some time
been disappearing from the grocery
store of Geo X. Thompson, on Market
Street, Jefiersonville, Ind. Eugene
Moir, . clerk in the store, had his sus-
picions aroused that q mechanic at the
car works, Ed. Bell, who lives next
door, was the thief. Accordingly he
laid q trap to make sure of his game.
He determined to sleep in the store
one night and watch. About 1:30
O'Clock he heard some one picking at
the lock on the door. He silently watch
ed until the thief had opened the door,
and ever until after the entrance of the
party, whom he could not zee for the
darkness, but whom he supposed to be
Ed. Bell. He then calmly raised his
gun and blazed away. A scream and .
fall followed, and the burglar proved to
be Ellen Bell, the wife Of Ed. Bell.
Leaving the woman on the floor with
shattered hips and bleeding fearfully,
NOR hurried up town, and getting Of
ficers Tracy, Story and Cronin, started
back with them to the scene. In the
meantime the unfortunate woman had
been moved into her house, and her
husband had gone to the front Of the
store, pistol in hand, to wait for the
clerk who had shot her. As NOR came
near with the officers he lifted the
weapon, but the officers managed to in
terfere and he did not 6re. The woman
had . terrible wound in the right thigh,
,evering the muscles and At least 100
shot are imbedded in the desh.
She also has An ugly wound on the left
high and Is badly injured in the abdo-
men. The chances for her recovery Ge
lot good. 1

LINE FOR HKNs.-Poultry keepers
should remember, especially At this sea-
son, that hens require lime in some
form to make the shells for their eggs.
When they are zen picking at lime
wash on the weather. boarding Of build
ings or on fences, it Is an indication
that they should be furnished with cal
careous matter. Oyster shells, where
they are to be had, are the cheapest and
best source Of supply. They should Be
broken in pieces small enough for the
hens to swallow easily, and may b given
in liberal quantity. Where shells can
not be obtained, broken bones viii do,
but they are more difficult to break, and
scarcely sogood. Old mortar furnishes
lime, and hens are fond Of picking 1t it
when they can do no better. Ground
bone and ground oyster shells are sold
BY dealers in poultry supplies, and can
be bought at prices which viii repay
their cost. The shells Of eggs used in
cooking should be fed TO the hens, but
not without being crushed or broken
