A Man Ami 1ufateS His own Les.
From the Idaho World


"A short time ago, Il young Chippew,
nunter was shooting squirrels in the woods
that border Lake Huron, near Penct,n-
guishine, when. by some chance. a large
bl'giited pine fell upon him, knocking him
down and crushing his leg, which was trac-
tured in two places. He coultl not rise-he
could not remove the tree which was living
across his broken leg. He was far from
the probability of passing aid, and to lie
there and starve TO death in agony seemed
all that was left to him. In this dilemma.
With all the fortitude and promptitude of
romance, he took out his knife, cut off his
own leg. bound it up with his sash, drag
sed himself along the ground to his canoe,
'hu Padded himself home to his wigwam
IN distant island. There the cure of his
wound was completed. and the ii.an is still !

A Young Lady's Long Swim.

A Lake Geneva (Wisconsin) dispatch
TO the Chicago Tribune, of August %,
says: The most remarkable event of
the season occurred on the lake yester-
day. Miss Mamie MINER, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. II. s. MINER, and grand
daughter of Judge Aver, of Harvard,
Illinois, bright-eyed brunette of sweet
sixteen, performed the unparalleled feat
of swimming from Harvard Park across
the lake to Camp Collie, distance of
nearly two miles, in less than half an
hour, winning wager from her father,
the ladies natatorial championship of
the United States, and numerous souve-
Mrs presented by admiring friends.
This naiad queen was accompanied by a
gentleman swimmer and by boats con-
tanning the judges and spectators. There
was no time limit to the performance !;
Miss MINER did not hurry, but moved
through the water with easy grace, tax
ing a regulation stroke, occasionally
changing position for relief, now on one
side, now on the other; then listlessly
floating for rest; again swimming with
face up, sword and arms folded on her
breast The heroine of this adventure
was only slightly exhausted by such an
extraordinary feat of skill and esdur-
ance. She was clad in an elegant bath
ing costume, a Ia Dieppe, which allowed
full and free movement to her magnif-
Gently rounded arms and voluptuous
physique. Miss Miner has been some
what celebrated around the lake during
the summer for her skill in aquatic
sports and she was determined to close
the season with grand effort which
would eclipse all her companions, and she
has thus met with admiring success.

Collins as Souvenirs.

The body of the late Louis Napoleon
was brought to England in three coffins,
the innermost one being African oak.
This was inclosed in one of lead, and
both were protected by strong chest
painted black. The three were left at
Woodwich on the removal of the body in
new coffin to Chiselhurst. After the
funeral they were carefully taken TO
pieces, and packed for preservation in a
large box. Every piece was jealousy
guarded, and not screw or a Clip was
lost. The box was placed in an ambu-
lance wagon and taken to Chiselburst,
NJ. Piefrie and Baron Corvisart follow
ing in private carriage. The contents
will be distributed as souvenirs.
In another box was placed quantity
of South African grass, in which the
body had been laid, together with some
other discarded material The whole
was then taken to one of the forging
furnaces and thrust in. In few mo-
ments not vestige of it remained.

q An Inyeterate Halter Of Frogs.

Nof"ch bulletln
A dog likes company and when exiled
from canine society will often find
amusement in foreign partnerships
Recently a Montyille man carried home
a young terrier dog. There were no
other dogs in the neighborhood, so he
broke the monotony of the place by
playing with toads. He actually became
an adept in discovering their haunts,
and when they hoped he would hop,
and when they were at rest he rested.
He showed every symptom of delight
over the fact that he could leap farther
than the toad could, not recognizing the
disparity in length of body and limbs in
his favor One day he nosed out bull
frog in the wet grass that proved to be
the prince of tremendous leapers, ard
trying his jumping powers with it he
was defeated. Astonished, he looked at
the frog as he leaped away, but before it
had got off of the premises, as if in fit
of jealousy, he ran after it and killed it.
He still noses out toads, and playfully
touches them with his feet to make them
jump with him, but from the day he was
beaten by the frog at gleaping he has
insisted on killing every frog he meets in
his travels.

, TOPICS ron THE FARM.

Merino Sheep.-A correspondent
who has visited Mr. Lusk's farm, near
Batavia, N. Y. says: Mr.. Lusk has mas
tered the art of so breeding and feeding
the Merino as to put the maximum
weight of fine wool on one hundred
pounds of carcass. We looked over his
rams, his ewes and his lambs, and won
dered how nature could be so directed
that she could wrap around a sleeps
body a skin large enough to cover twice
the dimensions, and to do it by laying
1t on folds or plaits, and covering all
with thick wool. Wonder if the modern
belle took the hint from the Merino to
wrap around her form twice or thrice
the number of yards of dry goods neces-
sary for dress by laying it on in folds,
plaits, bows, etc. Mr. Lusk's entire
flock of 107 sheep sheared this year an
aggregate of 1861 pounds of wool,
which is an average of over II 35-100
pounds to head. His year-old ram
Hopeful sheared 80 pounds ounces; a
two year-old ram, New York, sheared
20 pounds II ounces; a two-year-old
ram, Money Maker, sheared 81 pounds;
e-year-old eve sheared Is pounds, 5
ounces; two-year-old eve sheared "a
pounds; another 81 pounds. This will
be as sample of what careful breed
ing and constant attention to the wants
of the animal will accomplish.
Habits Of the Pig" When the pig
wallows in mire," says DR. Ballard, che
merely follows an instinct implanted in
him, in common with some other pachy-
dermatous creatures. the objects of
which is cutaneous cleansing. Tie mud
stands to him in relation Of soap to
human being, but instead Of washing it
off with water, he allows il to cake and
dry upon the skin, and then rubs it all
off, mud and cutaneous debris together,
upon some sufficiently rough surface.
Loose hair and cutaneous scurf irritate
him, and he takes his own way of cl ans.
ing his skin from them Cleanse his
skin for him, and he will rest in content
ment, misunderstanding the eyes of his
supercilious betters, often less scrupu-
lous in this matter than he is, by his
wallowings, scratchings and scrubbings.
1t has long been known that pig thus
cleansed with soap and water, not only
becomes less Objectionable, but grows
fat more speedily than if left to cleanse
himself in his own way. Similarly as
respects his food. Garbage is not the
food that the pig selects by preference.
In fact, pig which has been fed for
any time upon sweet food will turn away
from sour and disgusting food. If left
to pick up his own living where he can
find it, he will eat anything he can find
eatable. but even then will eat acorns,
fallen fruit or roots in preference to gar
bage, andhuman 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 no way
more convenient, be made subservient to
the subsistence of mankind, and the pig
is possibly properly utilized in this man
ner. Our only desire is to vindicate his
character as clearly feeder; if only he
has the chance of clearly feeding vouch-
ssfed him.
