A CURIOUS experiment has been tried
In Germany for some months past with
success. Il Is the importation OF live
hogs from the United States ct the port
Of Bremerhaven, from whence they are
shipped to Hanover, finding . ready
market at Brunswick, Magdeburg, Cas-.
eel and other North German cities. Last
June q decree Was issued forbidding the
importation Of American chopped pork
and sausages into Germany, presumably
on trichiaatous grounds, and some in.
geniOus butchers hit upon this method
Of evading tho oct, which said nothing
about live hogs. It was 1t first thought
that 30 maay hogs would die upon the
VOYAGE ~ to make the experiment rath.
or unremunerative, . loss ct five per
cent. being the lowest that WAS thought
probable. Experience, however, has
proved that the loss Is under two AID
onc.hali yer cent, which gave such an
impetus to the undertaking that a com.
pany has been formed for the purpose Of
building large lairs for the arrivals Al
Bremerhsven, which Is to be the hog
depot for Germany, the animals being
killed there and dispatched into the in
terror by rail. The American hog no
more fat substance and less meat thar
his German relative, and . suggestion
has been made to import . number o
German pigs into America for breeding
nurn0aes. -NeU York Sun.

Quite remarkable instance Of the

taken place at Lynchburg recently. 1t
appears that . few years ago Frank
lIelmholz shot very young negro boy.
The ball struck the boy and inflicted .
severe wound, from which an entire
paralysis Of one side resulted. The boy
suffered intensely At times, yet attempt

pie pitied his helpless condition he made
q living by the sale Of cakes, cOnfec.
tons and matches. Last week, during
the absence Of his mother, he undertook
and accomplished the entire amputation
Of his paralysed foot with . small pen
knife and q pair Of scissors. When
found he WAS insensible, but the fool

4 LAST TALK.

Come out In the garden and walk with me-
While the dancers whirl to that dreamy
tune;
See! the moonlight silvers the sleeping sea,
And the world is as fair as a night in June.
Let me hold your hand, as used to do,
This Is the last, last time, you know,
For tomorrow a wooer comes to WOO
And to win you, tho love you so.
You are pale, or is 1t the moonlight's gleam
That gives to your face that sorrowful look I?
We must wake at last from our summer dream,
We have come to the end of our tender book !:
Love. the poet, has written we'll
he has won our hearts by his poem sweet.
And now. at the end, we must say farewell;
All! but the summer was fair and fleet.
Do you remember the night we met?
You wore rose in your yellow hair.
Closing my eyes, can see you yet,
Just as you stood on the topmost stair;
A futter of white from head to foot
A cluster of buds on your breast. All! me.
But the vision was never half SO sweet
AS it is tonight in my memory.
Hear the viors cry. and the deep bassoon
Seems sobbing out in its undertone
Some sorrowful memory. The tune
Is the saddest one I've ever known,
Or is it because we must part tonight,
That the music seems SO sad? All! me-
You are weeping, love, and your lips are WI lite
The ways of life are a mystery.
love you, love. with a love SO true,
That in coming years I shall not forget
The beautiful face or the dream knew,
And memory will always hold regret.
shall stand by the sea as we stand tonight.
And think of the summer whose blossoms
died.
When the frosts Of fate fell chill and white
On the fairest flower of the summer tide.
They are calling you. Must let you 60?
Must say goodbye and go my way?
If we must part, tits better So
Good-bye's such sorrowful word to say.
Give me- my darling, one last sweet kiss;
So we kiss our dear ones and see them de-
But death holds no parting so sad as this
God bless you and keep you. and SO good
bye!

SOMEBODY'S MOTHER.

The woman was old, and ragged and gray,
And bent with the chill of the winters Day;
The streets were white with a recent snow,
And the woman's feet with age were slow.
At the crowded crossing she waited long
JOstled aside by the cruel throng
OF human beings who passed her by,
Unheeding the glance of her anxious eye.
Down the street, with laughter and shout,
Glad in freedom Of "school let out"
Came happy boys, like flock of sheep,
Hailing the snow. piled white and deep,
Past the woman SO old and gray.
Hastened the children on their way,
None offered a helping hand to her
So weak, SO tim id-afraid to stir,
Lest the carriage-wheels or the horses feet
Should trampIe her down in the slippery street.
At last came out of the merry troup,
The gayest laddie of all the group;
he paused beside her, and whispered low
'Ill help you across, if you wish to gov'
Her aged hand On his strong young arm
She placed, and so without hurt or harm,
He guided the trembling feet along,
Proud that his own were firm and strong;
Then back again to his friends he went,
His young heart happy, and well content.
''She's somebody's mother. boys, you know,
For all she's aged, and poor, and slow;
And some one some time may lend hand
To help my mother-you understand?-
If ever she's poor, and old, and gray,
And her own dear boy is far away"
Somebody's Mother bowed low her head
In her home that night. and the prayer she. said
Was "God be Kind to that noble boy,
Who is somebody's son. and pride and joy.r
Faint was the voice, and worn and weak,
But Heaven lists when its chosen speak;
Angels caught the faltering word,
And "Somebody's Mother's' prayer was hea I'd

POTATO AND MEAT PIE.-Cut any
kind of cold roast meat into very thin
slices; shake little pepper and salt
over each slice then dip it into smell
plate covered with flour. Place the
slices. in layers. in small yellow nap
py; and if seasoning of onions is
liked, sprinkle little chopped onion
over each layer-or use three or four
tablespoonsful of canned tomatoes in
stead of the onion; but very small
quantity of onion will add to the sea-
soning of the tomato and the meat.
Turn in all the gravy that was left from
the roast beef, or if none remains, put
bits of butter over the top layer of meat.
and pour in enough boiling water to
cover the meat. Put a plate or a tin
cover over the dish, and bake for one
hour. While it is cooking, put some
potatoes into salted boiling hot water,
and boil until fork goes easily
into them (perhaps 25 minutes Pour
off all the water; scatter the salt over
the potatoes, and shake the kettle Wig
orously while you slowly count one
hundred. This will make the potatoes
very mealy, Then mash them with a
wire masher or fork, and spread them
over the top of the dish of meat. Put
bits of butter all over the potatoes, and
brown them in quick oven. This
makes an excellent breakfast or lunch
dish
