The practice of sitting At piano organ prac.
Using for hours together, without support for the

well knows; and. giving way to the tired feeling,
very many especially young persons, attempt TO rest
or relieve themselves by assuming position which

design until this Back Piano Chair was invented
Although this Chair has been before the public but
short time II has already attracted marked attention.
and has gained the highest approval of all who have

The RAZOR BACK HoG.-To the trav-
eler through Texas one of the strangest
and most peculiar features of the land
scape is the razor.back hog. He is of
Swiss cottage style of architecture. His
physical structure is angular to a degree
unknown outside of text book on the
science of geometry. The country razor
back prowls around in the woods and
lives on acorns, pecan nuts and roots !:
when he can spare time he climbs under
his owners fence and assists in harvest
ing the corn crop. In this respect he is
neighborly to a fault, and when his duty
to his owners crop will allow he will
readily turn in and assist the neighbor's.
even working at night rather than see
his crop spoil for want of attention.
Crossing the razor back with blue
blooded stock makes but little improve
ment. The only effective way 10 i'm
prove him is to cross him with a railroad
train. He then becomes an imported
Berkshire or Poland-China hog, and if
he does not knock the train off the track
the railroad company pays for him at
the rate of 81 pound, for which they
are allowed the mournful privilege of
shoveling the remains off the track. The
ham of the country razor.back is more
juicy than the hind leg of an iron fire
dog. but not quite so fat as pine knot.
