Morbid Appetite in Pigs.

We have found one quart of new-pro-
cess linseed meal to each pig per day
would satisfy when coal and ashes fail
to do so. A quart of peas has also had
good effect. The pigs would crack
the peas with great apparent relish. It
is well, also, to mix little finely-pul-
verified bone with the salt when young
hogs are fed almost wholly upon corn.
Corn is deficient in phosphate of lime to
form the growing bone. The bone may
be prepared by burning, then pounding
fine, and grinding in a large coffee-mill.
But the bone meal, ground fine. may be
purchased at So per 100 pounds. Mix
salt and ground bone in equal parts,
and let pigs have access to it.
To explain the effect of tho linseed
meal and peas, we have only to remem-
Der that corn has only u per cent. Of
ash, while linseed meal has 81 per cent.
and this is rich in phosphate of lime or
bone material, besides having three
times as much muscle-forming matter.
Peas have the same nutritive effect, only
in less degree. Linseed meal balances
the corn, and makes II complete ration,
satisf"' III the wants of pigs. Cotton

"But it is nearly dark. Is there no

"Never heard of any, and I've baked

Personal PecuIiarities,

About forty years ago had lad in nv
employ who had the habit when unex-
pectedly spoken to of pricking up his
ears in so decisive a manner as to re-
mind one of the ears of Pyess or of Tray
when suddenly called. Marie Louise,
the second wife of Napoleon, was in the
habit of amusing the ladies of her court
at their private sOirees by turning her
ears almost completely around, andin q
manner closing them up. She did this
by peculiar motion of the Jaw, and she
is said to have prided herself on the OK.
plot not little.
A man knew we'll wore an enormous
shock of raven hair, and would allow
himself to be lifted by the hair from the
ground by any ono who was strong
enough to do it, and to be swung to and
fro like pendulum, or to be dragged
along tho floor.
The faculty of sleeping at will was
one of the endowments of the first Ma
poleon, who it is said could sleep any
length of time, long or short, and awake
at the time, almost to o minute, he had
resolved upon.
Among the muscular movements not
common, I have noticed several in
stancs of persons who could throw back
the four fingers of either hand until they
stood quite perpendicular to the back Of
the hand and wrist. Other instances
have seen, though but few. Of parsons who
can project the lower joint Of the thumb
almost into the hollow of the palm. In
neither of these cases is the use or the
ordinary symmetry of the hand at all af-
fected. OF lcft-handed people we have
all seen many. and they abound among
the working classes; but of the atiband-
list, or both-handed. that is of persons
who can do everything with either hand,
as well with one as with the other,
have known but one in tho whole course
of my life. This was an orphan boy
who had no paternal care, but had been
left almost to himself from infancy
Quick, active and sharp-witted, he had
taught himself many things tolerably
well, could draw fairly, could play tho
fiddle and the flute. and wrote admir-
ably and with unrivalled rapidity with
either hand.

SAMARITAN NERvINE

of Opium Eating These degrading habits
are by far the worst evils that have ever be-
fallen suffering humanity. Thousands die
annually from these noxious drugs. The
drunkard drinks liquor not because hc likes

his road to ruin. Like the Opium Eater, he
first uses the drug I'm small quantities as u
harmless antidote. The soothing influence
of tho drug takes strong hold upon Its victim,
leading him on to his own destruction. The
habits of Opium Eating and Liquor Drinking
are precisely what eating IL to alimentiye-

paraiyzes both the stomach and appetite.

Unspeakably Cruel
Tho Horrible Story that Is told Of Wealthy
Family near Cincinnati

Tho Horrible Story that Is told Of Wealthy
Family near Cincinnati
Charles Dickens, In his ''Talo OF Two
Cities" tells of the doctor OF Beauvis,
how he suddenly disappeared from the
baunts of men, and none save those
who were conversant with the facts
knew whether he was dead or alive; how
he, after his Imprisonment in the tower
for none knew what, was kept in soil
tary room because of his having lost all
control over his faculties by his long
confinement. A case similar In many
WAYS to the confinement in the solitary
room is said to exist within the corpo-
rate limits of Cincinnati. According to
the statements of credible witnesses,
there lives in q handsome mansion on
Mt. Lookout man wealthy in this
worlds goods, surrounded by all that
wealth can bring him. The father OF
this man, now over 80 years OF age, it is
reputcd, has for the past twenty years
been confined in the cellar of his sons
residence. The old man is stone blind,
probably from his long confinement in
the dark cellar. Why he is kept there
no ono knows, except, as rumor has it,
that his sons wife bears him luminosity
for some cause. Old and infirm though
he is, this old man is but scantily clad,
is fed on the leavings Of the table, served
to him in an old. rusty tin pan, much as
a dog would be fed, and as return for
what he gets is compelled to chop all
the kindling wood for the immense
house. There in the dark. damp cellar,
with barely clothes enough to keep him
warm, bare footed and bare-headed,
this old man subsists on what he can
get-the scraps of the kitchen-and OF.
tentimes he does not get av"n th-
being blind, can no.

Business Outlook and Crops.

Gath: Everybody is now waiting
for the crops. All calculations are
based OH the agricultural outlook. If
the harvest is u rich one, 1t is ex-
pected that there will be another area
of heavy trading in the speculative
markets and u continuation of what
are termed "good times" Should
the crops be short and inferior, it is
the universal opinion that period Of
great depression will be upon the
country. The backward spring is
making the prospects for farmers less
cheering every day. While fruits
and vegetables have been seriously
damaged, and in many places ruined,
grain has not yet suffered materially.
Spring wheat will be backward In
any event, and great deal Of the
corn will have to be replanted. FrOsts
have fallen in nearly all of the west
ern and northwestern states. 1t Is on
these rather uninviting prospects
that spectators and legitimate trad
ers alike are basing their hopes for a
return of business activity.
Four million dollars has been sub.
scribed for the laying of a new At
lantic cable.
The arrival of immigrants at New
York OH last Tuesday numbered 2.
$50. One steamer brought over 800
Russian Hebrew exiles.
