Big Time---The Maids of Athens, Geor-
gia.

Bill Arp.
Well, had a big time the other
night, got with some old school-mates
that used to run with nigh onto forty
years ago. We used to serenade the
pretty girls about Athens together, so
we got fiddle and some flutes and got
round piano, and we all got young
again; and the way we did knock the
harmonic Juice out of the good old
times was caution. We had a nice
liCtle audience of sympathizing wives
and mothers and astonished children,
and we played aud played till the per-
SEPARATION rolled down our venerable
cheeks, and people stopped on the side
walk and listened and looked in with
wonder and admiration.
There were the Cossacks march, and
Norma, and the Devils Dream, and
Billy in the Lowgrounds, and the
Arkansaw Traveller, and Run Niger,
Run, and Bet my Money on the Bob
tail Nag, and so forth and so on, and
there were some other melodies that
we had named for earliest loves, some
OF whom are away up north and some
SOuIu anu SOue west, anu some In leaV-
en-. How we did love those girls. One
of 'em kicked me three times, but / al
ways did believe she loved me and I
amt right sure but that she has sweet
and tender thoughts about me yet;
may be if had tried her once more
she-but won't allow myself to in
dulge such a thought for then some
other fellow would have got Mrs Arp,
and that's picture too horrible to con-
template. I'm content with my desti-
ny, and would not change it if 1 could.
Those Athens girls kept tooks-they

friend Cole told me his name was down

loved her to distraction, and popped
the question every three months until
finally she made him psomise not to
ask her again. So just before she quit
school he went to see her, and in the
agony Of his soul said he: "Miss Su-

OVer-F eeding Pigs.

OOuntry Oenleulan.
am inclined to think, however, that
the danger of overlooking consists mair-
ly in feeding too concentrated food, or
that lacking some of the constituents
needed for healthful growth and vitali-
ty. Our cheapest foods are mainly
carbOnaceous, and this is especially
true of those principally used in A ten
ing. Corn, corn-meal and linseed oil
meal are not suitable food for animals
not intended for the butcher. A little
may be fed, mixed with food contain.
ing more flesh and bone material; but
for very young animals it is best to
use as little of these, and as much of
coarser and really richer food as pos
sible. Young pigs, up to six months
old, will do better with at least half
their ratiOns bran or oat meal. If they
are intended for keeping over winter,
less concentrated food may be used,
such as roots, waste apples and refuse
from the house. The hay and corn
slower fed to young horned cattle are
better for them than more concentrated
food would be; but as a general rule,
and especially where corn is the staple
food, hogs are never fed with material
to adapt them for breeding. To keep
a pig thrifty is with most breeders
equivalent to keeping it fat. The re-
suit is the animals soon become short
and round, rather than, long, and no
matter how kept thereafter, will be of
little value as breeders.

a Dance of Death

Richmond Dispatch.
One of the most startling, weird.
and realistic tragedies yet recorded in
connection with the great smallpox
scourge which has swept over the
country occurred about week ago.
A gentleman living in the city gave a
ball, and Tom Taylor, a famous negro
fiddler in these parts, was called upon
to furnish the music. A large com.
pany of ladies and gentlemen attended
the party, and dancing was kept up
until the morning hours. After mid
night it was noticed that Fiddling
Tom, who had complained early in the
evening of feeling bad, had seemed to
grow wild and his music grew quicker,
so that the feet of the young dancers.
nimble though they were, could not
keep pace with the music. He sang
out the figures in a stentorian voice.
and seeming imbued with the wildness
of his own music, swayed his body to
and fro like one bewitched, while his
eyes became bloodsbot and his voice
husky. Suddenly, just before the hour
for the breaking up of the party ar
rived, the fiddler fell from his lofty
seat in delirium, and the affirighted
dancers crowded around him, until one
of their number. STOPPING over him,
saw the livid splOtches of the dreaded
red rash over his face, and cried !.
Great God! the man has got the
small pox." The throng dispersed in
a moment.
n few weeks before this party took
place, Bob Jackson, a negro who had
been discharged from the smallpox
hospital, stole some of the clothing of
the inmates and sold them to different
persons as new. Among the buyers
was Tom Taylor, the fiddler, and he
caught the dreaded disease from the
infected clothing from which he died.
Three other persons who bought the
clothing caught the disease, and two
OF them died. None of the attendants
at the party caught the smallpox, be-
cause they were inoculated that nj yht
before they retired.
The only punishment inflicted upon
Bob Jackson, the negro who stole the
clothing and thus killed three people
was the imitation of twenty-five lashes
on his bare back.

An Ancient Work of Art.

LONDON IlneS.
The Academy states that an INFER
esting discovery has just been made in
part of the monastic building of Wet
minister abbey. The large upper hall
In the Western range, once occupied by
the cellarer, is now divided up into
rooms for canon's residence. In the
course of some repairs now going on,
the canvas lining in one of these rooms
was stripped off; underneath, fine oak
neutrality-suspicious. in date-was dis
covered, and under the paneling the
wall was found to be covered with a
well-designed painting of the time of
Henry VIII. This painting is in
black and white, done in tempera on
plaster; the design, which is drawn
with great bOldness and freedom of
execution, is strongly Holbeinesque in
character. There is an oval shield,
charged with France and Englard
quarterly, with the lion and dragon
supporters; at the sides, human figures
growing out of flowers arabesque scroll
work, which covers the wall in large
sweeping curves. The design is white,
with black outlines and shading on a
black ground. The discovery is an in
terestinR one, as English wall-paint-
ings of this date are very rare. The
preservation of these examples is due
to the fact that oak paneling was fixed
over them before they had time to
suffer from age or exposure. 1t seems
probable that this decoration was ex-
ecuted soon after the suppression of
the abbey and the seizure of the mon
astic buildings by the crown; hence,
possibly, the introduction of the royal
arms in so conspicuous a way. The
part of this painting which comes on
the outside wall seem to HAYES persisted
from damp soaking through the plas-
ter. A laTge part of the probably
well preserved painting on the inner
wall still remains hidden, as it is only
in one of the subdivisions of the great
hall that the wall-linings have been
stripped off.
