being fatal, the dead animal must be

Itmay, in fact, be stated as beyond

American hogs dying by disease or even

market in the shape Of meat or lard,
are founded wholly upon ignorance or
malice, for it is not in the power of

Health of Swine.

The Department of Agriculture has
issued a pamphlet on "American Pork, "
giving the result of its investigation
concerning trichinm and the diseases
of swine. We make the following
extracts from it:
The hogs of Illinois and Ohio, and
douptless of other Western States, are
of various improved breeds, mainly
high.grade Berkshires and Polm
Chinas, and are unsurpassed for purity
by the hogs of the best British fancy
breeders. The pigs are generally
farrowed in April and May, and as
soon as they are able to do so, are
allowed to follow corn-fed cattle, with
the range of grass pasture and pure,
running water during the summer and
fall. When not following cOrn-fed cat
tie, the pigs are fed with corn until
the spring grass and their age make il
possible for the animals to subsist and
thrive on grass alone.
Formerly hog-killing was all done il
the winter, and the farmers consequent
ly had a special season for preparing
hogs for market, but now that summer
killing, especially in Chicago, ha'
attained proportions nearly as large a'
the winter-killing, the farmer can fint
a market for his hogs at any time o,
year, and has only to consult his con
venience as to the time Of fattening
being sure of finding a market when
ever he has a ca rload ready for trans
portatlon.
When the hos reaches the age of sil
months OF more and it is previous t
this age, and WI Tile he has no presen

despised as food they could max a

from France the art of cooking-the
art of economizing nutriment, and al
the same time presenting it in the mos,
savory fOrms-an art almost entirely
unknown even at this day in the homes
Of English workmen, and a source OF
enormous national waste. Before the

A Spider Draws up a Mouse by the
Tail.

Tail.
Lebanon KY Standard
A very curious and interesting spec.
tacle was to be seen on Monday after
noon in the Office of Mr.. 2. c. Clevcfs
livery stable in this city. Against the
wall Of the room stands a tolerably tall
desk, and under this small spider,
not larger than a common pea, had
constructed an extensive web reaching
down to the floor.
At about 1870 o'clock Monday fore
noon it was observed that the spider
had ensnarcd a young mouse by passing
lilaments of her web about lis tail.
When first seen the mouse had its hind
feet off the floor, and could barely
touch the floor with its fore feet. The
spider was full of business, running up
and down the line, occasionally biting
the mouse's tail, making it struggle
desperately. Its efforts to escape were
unayailng and the slender lilamculs
about its tail were too strong for it to
break. In short time i. was seen
that the spider was slowly hosting its
victim into the air. BY two o'clock
in the afternoon the mouse could bare
" touch the floor with its fore feet; {;
by dark the point of its nose was an
inch above the floor. At nine o'clock
at night the mouse was still alive, hut
had made no sign except when The spi.
der descended and bit iti tail. st this
time it was aninch and q half from the
floor.
the next morning the mouse was
dead and hung three inches from the
floor
The news Of the novel sighl soon be-
came circulated, and hundreds Of peo.
pie visited the stable to witness il.
The mouse isa small one, probably less
than half grown, measuring about ore
and one half inches from the point Of
its nose to the root of its tail. How
the spider succeeded in ensnaring it is
not known. The mechanical ingeuui-
ty Of the spider, which enabled ler to
raise body which must weigh forty
or fifty times as much as herself, has
been the subject Of much comment
and speculation, and no satisfactory
solution Of the difficulty has been
found. All agree that it is a most re
markable case, and one that would be
received with utter incredUlity ilit
wore not So amplY Infested.

wages have no call " their profession,
for the very reason that they take no

they cannot give il thenecesslry pains,

be understood That gO)d work and eXcer,

How many unh pPy girls ba;9 paid
dearly for the upbringing Of .heir
young husbands, who, the lrst glamour

as they saw their fathers treat their
mothers, careleSsly, disrespectfully,
with a total want of that considerable
tenderness which is worth all the pas

they may pass muster outside as excel.
