A Serious Matter.

The District Commissioners have large and
underlined powers and should be careful to ex-
ercise these powers with degree of modera-
ton. caution and justice calculated to give
confidence In the commisslonershlp form OF
government, clothed as 1t Is with this some
what autocratic extent OF authority In
general way there has been little to complain
OF In this respect One OF the exceptions Ia the
fatal facility with which the Commissioners
grant the right to telegraph companies to ex-
tend the telegraph-pole nuisance along prom
inent streets without the knowledge or con-
sent OF the citizens whose property Is
injured. Within q day or two the pole
raisers have infested miles OF the streets
In the northern portion of the city; coming
With the SuddenneS3 and destructive activity
OF a swarm OF locustS. On Saturday the resi-
dents upon 18th street northwest were aston
1shed and Disguised by the appearance OF this
devastating gang, with a choice assortment OF
the great clumsy, tree-trunk5. misnamed
telegraph poles" without asking consent,
and against the protests OF the citizens inter-
ested, they proceeded to dig great holes and
plant these huge masts at their sweet will
Citizens, whose property was deprecated In
value to the extent OF thousands Of dollars by
the erection Of these crooked, unsightly tree
trunks and their network of wires In front OF
their premises were powerless to protect them
selves or to fnterpose the slightest delay
In the vandal work until an appeal could be
made to the authorities for relief. The tele-
graph men were evidently under orders to
erect the poles with speed that would pre-
vent any attempt to resist the objectionable
work.
The question row Is who is next to be victim
lied? What principal street Is next to be dis.
figured! How soon will the telegraph fiends
descend upon Massachusetts avenue or Yer
mont avenue, or K street, or any one OF the
many avenues and streets that have been
graded and beautifed for vista effects and are
lined with handsome houses? II the Commits
sioners are wise they will give the public some
assurance that the power to extend this tele-
graph pole nuisance shall not In future be
granted In this loose manner

The contest IN Tammany Hall last night re-

majority SO small that 1t must convince him.

TOTAL number of votes cast exceeded by over
one hundred the estimates of the opposition,

past using his control OF the socIety's ma

pledged to vote for the Kelly slate. These
newly-electei Tammanyites, no DOUBT. gave to
Kelly the slim and narrow hold he now has
upon the organization Of which he was absolute
dictator but year ago. In q vote of over
seven hundred Kelly, with all the ADVANTAGES
he had, won by majority of nifty. But a feg

inside OF Tammany hall was preached, 1t was
almost impossible to 1ud man willing to
present resolution criticising bis conduct In

putting through resolution approving and
commencing his action In that election; the
condemnatory resolution was offered and re-.
eeived but three votes. The boss IN tone of

and are susceptible of a great variety OF
diseases, and among them those OF
scrofulous nature, which may be trans
mitted to the human family when the
pork is eaten. I never eat random pork,
as am afraid of it. When carefully
raised and properly fattened, however,
pig meat is healthful food. The omni-
vorous nature of pigs makes them more
dangerous for food than beef or mutton,
as neat cattle or sheep will not naturally
eat anything but grain or vegetables,
while pigs are kept sometimes on putrid
food OF the refuse of slaughter houses.
Cattle may be taught to subsist on fish
and be made to consume swlll, but the
number of such animals which are turn
ed into beef in this country is extremely
limited, while " swill hogs are much
more plentiful A butcher or any per
son who cuts up such animals can read
ily distinguish them, as the flesh is soft
and habby. 1t should be made mis-
demeanor to sell such meat, as it is not
healthful food. Pigs from the country
are almost always fattened on grain, and
the firmer the flesh the nearer it is to
perfection and health. Correspondence

Recipe for Happiness.

A silversmith's wife once told Careme,
the great cook, that her erhusband spent all
his money in a restaurant. He ques-
toned her and found that she was an
Indifferent cook, but, worse than that,
was in the habit of giving her husband
boiled food 365 days in the year. Next
day he visited the house of the silver
smith, ostensibly with the purpose Of
having cup repaired. Drawing a
woodcock from basket, the
master showed the wife how to
dress it, and the silyersmith, woman
and Careme sat down to breakfast. For
the first time happiness beamed on that
household. Careme called frequently
after this, always provided with some
Wand, which, like an unpublished stone,
became as brilliant as gem when
touched by the hand of genius. The
silversmith's wife was quick to appreciate
the difference in her husbands conduct.
She became in time an efficient cook,
and so regained herhusband's affections.
The wine shop, the seeond-class res
taurant had no charms for him, for he
ate at home.

Indigestion of Pigs.

1t is not general practice with
farmers to give salt to pigs or to mix it
in their food. Salt is no more injurious
to a pig than to person. The stomach
of pig and its digestive functions are
more like those of human being than
are those of almost any other animal.
A hungry pig would probably eat
enough to iniure itself if its food was
strongly mixed with salt, just as hun
gry man would be likely to eat too
much of salted fish OF meat, Salt is
used, to make human food more pala-
table, and seems necessary to supply
the wastes to the system caused by the
animal secretions. The instincts of
horses and ruminating animals lead
them to desire salt. Hence, in wild
state they seek for salt springs or
clicks" where they may satisfy this
natural craving, and in domesticated
condition it should always be accessible
to them, and then they never will
iniure themselves by eating too
much of it. Pigs do not seem to have
this natural craving for salt to the same
extent as other animals, but l have
known them to eat it when given to
them while in pasture, and also while
confined in pens, and have made it a
practice to put salt where pigs could help
themselves to it. When pigs are fed
cooked food of any kind, and especially
vegetables, the food can be improved
and made more palatable, so that the
appetite may not flag, by moderately salt
ing it. The proportions of salt should
be the same us for human food. Too
little attention is usually given by farm
ers to the stomachs of pigs. They are
expected to eat anything and everything
OF perhaps to live long time ON only
one kind of food. This want of atten-
ton is the cause of frequent diseases
I among pigs, chief of which are diaI1hea
and constipation. Regular feeding of
salt in moderate quantity and of sui
phur, with an occasional feeding of char
coal (once a week., will serve to make
good appetite, promote digestion,
and prevent disturbance of the
/ bowels, which is more likely to occur
without these precautions. The health
and digestion of pigs wenld un-
/ doubtedly be promoted if ons
access to prepared chalk or if snlaI
amount of magnesia was given them in
their food. Pigs suffer much from indi-
gestion, caused by oYer-eating, and if
they had the remedies accessible their
instincts would teach them to make use
of them and thrs prevent the frequent
result-diarrhea In summertime,
when pigs have access TO the ground,
they cure themselves, OF, in other words,
prevent diseases Of the stomach by eat
ing grass, which is laxative, or earth,
rotten wood or bits of charcoal, which
seem to check this condition or to pre-
vent extremes. The best medicine foI
any animal is preventive, hence THEN
food and surroundings should be such
as to promote health. The opposite is
too frequently the case, as they are often
kept in filth, and their food is prepared
for them regardless of sanitary laws,
their physical wants or natural instincts
This inconsistency is all the more
remarkable when we consider that pigs
are always reared only for human food
and are the most liable of almost all ami
mails to possess parasites in THEN bodies

They Lost Further Interest.

There is nice little game in vogue
among the young folks in this vicinity
known as the Hutchinson family"
The game consists in beguiling some
unsuspecting person into room into
which the whole " family" is stationed
the members of which initiate in word
and action everything done by the vic
tim, and the amount of amusement that
can be extracted from nervous young
man of bashful proclivities can easily
be imagined At sociable gathering
held in this village short time ago,
q young newspaper man was introduced
into the room, and the Hutchinson
family" began its imitation to the in
tense delight of everybody present-ex-
cept the victim. It didn't take the
young man great while to appreciate
the situation, and then he calmly
walked to the center of the room and
stood on his head. The Hutchinson
family" at that moment was composed
of two young ladies and gentleman,
and it is needless to remark that the
lady members Immediately lost all in

Sitting Bulbs Name.

The manner in which "Sitting Bull,
the great chief of the hostile Sioux,
came by his name is thus described
by Western correspondent; Sitting
Bull in his early youth was called Lame
Deer. One day he went out unnoted
among his brother buffalo-hunters and
came in at night carrying on his
shoulders the carcass Of a young buffalo
with a mystic white cross on its forehead,
shot by him and borne for so many
weary miles that he sank exhausted at
the lodge gate in a sitting posture. He
thus became Sitting Bull, for the carcass
remained on his shoulder and seemed a
part and parcel of himself. The car
cass of the animal was left there, the
camp abandoned, and ever since has
been avoided as cursed by the spirit
evil.
