one of his own little pigs. Piggy was
coming slowly, slowly along the big
road. He was roofing all the way, and
grunting at every step. Did the pig
know where he was going?
One corner of the rail fence rested on
n large hollow log. That log was Just
like the elbow of stove pipe. One of
its ends was outside and one was inside
OF the potato field.
The sly pig went straight to that log,
With grunt, he crawed in at one end
of it, and, with another gruut, he
crawled out at the other end, into the
field. There he began. mt once. to root
up the nice potatoes, and to eat them.
The farmer jumped over theience.
In trce the bars were put down.
There was a loud call: Here. Rover.
Rover, seek himl seek him. sir." And
the dog chased the thieving rascal
Squeezing from the field.
The farmer said to himself: "Tll fix
things all right Then he turned the
log so that the elbow was in the field,
and both OF its ends were on the outside
Then the farmer hid and watched
again. Mr.. Pig came along a second
time. He thought everything was
right. He crawled into the log once
more. He crawled through it, But he
was still on the outside OF the fence!
The pig grunted. He lifted up his
head. He looked all around in great
surprise. He wondered what was
wrong. Then he grunted louder, ana
tried once more. Again he failed. And
he failed rs often rs he grunted and
tried.
The merry farmer laughed loudly at
the wicked and astonished pig.

slYest tricks!-ONr LLNLe On-S.

How to Introduce People.

l said. You invite Mabel Tompkins
TO spend an afternoon with you. She
has never been at your home before,
and your mother has never met her.
When you enter the sitting-roOm, all
you have to do is to say: Mother,
this is my friend Mabel; Mabel, my
mother If you wish to be more elab-
crate, you may say to your aunt Lucy:
Aunt Lucy, permit me to present
Miss Mabel Tompkins; Miss TOmpkins,
Mrs. TemDleton.' Bat while you intro
duce Mabel to your father, or the min
lister, or an elderly gentleman, naming
the most distinguished parsonage first,
YOU present your brother, his chum,
and your cousin Fred to the young lady,
naming her first, Fix it in your mind
that among persons of equal station
the younger are introduced to the
older and that interiors in age, posi-
ton or influence are presented to supe-
riors. BE very cordial when, in your
own house, you are introduced to a
guest, and offer your hand. If away
from home, u bow is commonly sulli-
cient recognition of an introduction.
Please, in performing an introduction,
speak both names with perfect distinct
ness. "--Harper'S Young People.

Sets Of Furs,

There is such a variety OF furs in use
this winter that comfortable and Styl-
ism set OF some genuine fur, good of its
kind, though not always of the finest
quality, is within the reach of all. The
peleriue with null to match constitutes
the most desirable set, because the
shoulder cape or pelerine covers the
chest and shoulder blades, giving the
most luxurious warmth and protection
to these vital and delicate parts. These
pelcriles are round capes, straight on
the lower edges not pointed in 'front.'
and behind attending half way be-
tween the shoulders and elbows, and
measuring about eleven inches in depth
behind. When worn with a close-ht-
ting jacket they are most effective, and
are much used with suits that have an
outer coat of the material, but are not
sufficiently warm without the peerine
Next this cape in size is the small Rus
sian collar of fur, which is really the
most popular fur garment. because the
least expensive. The Eugeuie collar is
very comfortable, because the fronts
are extended and cut off square on the
chest, while the back does not conceal
the figure. The ccbdrpe, or scarf sim

long tabs in front may be found in the
shops, but does not meet with the favor
anticipated for it, The promised in
crease in the size of muffs is not real
lied, except in the fiat bag muifs that
are now made quite large, with a reti-
cule opening at the top, and are orna-
mented with three festooned cords and
tassels in front, or else with bows of
ribbon and loops that will serve to sus-
pend the mutf from the arm as a bag
when the hands are not in it. The
round nun is still very small, and it is
meant that it should be merely large
enough to cover the hands.
For plain and tasteful people who
like stylish things, yet must have them
at small cost, the black hare sets are
chosen. with a small muH valued at

In the sale of unclaimed packages
by the Southern Express Company, at
New Orleans, Colonel j. l.. Cross pur-
chased a small box for ten cents, in
which, upon being opened, was found
a heavy gold medal attached to gold
pin, on which was engraved the name
of DR.. j, G. Legare. On the face of the
medal, which is embossed with a laurel
wreath are inscribed the words (:
Howard Medical Corps" and on the
back; Awarded for services rendered
during the yellow-fever epidemic of
Memphis, 1873" The medal was ac-
companied by fiattering certificate
from the Howard Association to DR..
Legare. who now lives at Donaldson,
and was informed of the discovery of
the medal by telegraph.

Pruning and Training Apples.

1t is not possible in this report to 90
into all the m inutir of orchard manage
ment, nor, having regard to the fact
that these notes are intended for the
farmer who may devote Il few acres to
fruit growing and not for the proses-
siOnal Culturist, is it necessary to do 50
here. But on the subject of pruning
and training apple trees a little in;or-
nation may not be out of place. When
asked what time he recommended for
pruning his trees, blunt spoken wit
ness replied: Whenever the knife is
sharp enOughn' His meaning was eX-
planned to be that, whenever the tree
in appearance or vigOr could be inn
proved by the application of the knife,
it should be applied. ''Prune well but
never severely" may be regarded as a
safe maxim for Orchardists. AS a rule,
farm orchards are not pruDed sufficient.
ly, and the cultivation of wood largely
supplants that of fruit in many. Mr..
Beade's advice as to pruning is as fol-
lows | like to prune an apple tree into
sort of inverted umbrella shape, as
nearly as may be, having some refer
ence of course to the habits of the tree.
Sometimes, however, | make a second
story of limbs "a small set in the cen
ter. | don t think. however, that the
form is so very essential so long a3 we
keep the top sufficiently thinned out to
allow free circulation of air, and
enough of the suns warmth TO come to
the leaves. We should guard against
allowing the trees to become too dense,
so that the fruit is not sufficiently eX-
l.OSpd to the SUNLIGHT and air-OprhaOS
mostly the air, because | believe the
fruit needs but little sunlight. The
leaves are the organs that develop the
sap both for the fruit and the tree
We should also guard against exposing
the bare horizontal branches to the
direct rays of the sun, because some
times the heat is sufficient to scald the
bark when so exposed. The only OBJ
ject | have in pruning an orchard tree
is to get in circulation of the air and
let in the light. The cup form of the
tree is probably not so important here
as in Great Britain where the sky is over
cas- much more in summer than with us,
and there is proportionately less sun
light.
Mr.. Dempsey says: have paid some
attention to the form Of apple trees.
have amused myself by training them
in cordons, by grating the ends to-
gether, and also in pyramids, and al
most every other imaginable shape.
by adopting the system of root pruning,
but there is nothing pays so well in
apple culture as a nice round head, not
timed out too much. | try to get them
in umbrella form. -- CuHd{H PUpGr

chosen, as this fleece has great depth
and warmth, and is jet black and glossy.
The beaver-skins are in great favor this
season for sets, and are dressed III va
rious WAYS, such as the natural brown,
the colored beavers, the plucked, halt
plucked and unpucked beavers, the
silvery or pointed beavers, and the new
golden beaver. Brown furs have been
gradually coming into favor for two or
three years, and now quite rival the
glossy black furs. A good choice
among these is the natural beaver of
dark brown color, which nature, not
art, has made Ombre, each skin showing
pretty range of tints, and this is pre-
served in the deep pelerines, borders,
mufs, etc. Ladies who protest against
dyed furs like this natural beaver be-

economical like it because it is possible
to buy set of it for eight dollars, pro-
vided the wearer is contented with q
small Russian collar, though pclerines,
that are especially popular in this fur,
begin as low rs twelve dollars in the
scale of prices. -Harper' Bu.ar.
