The Pelon Dog The Mexicans call him
pelon the Americans refer to him as the no.
hair dog, while the stranger from the North
who sees him for the first time calls him cast
iron dog, for that is what he looks like at first
glance. Although not particularly intelligent,
the no-hair dog is susceptible of a high polish,
for his hairless hide shines in the sun as if it
had been recently touch ed up with stove polish.
His body is about the size and somewhat of the
shape of watermelon, that is of one of those
small watermelons that are about the size of a
pelon dog He differs, however, from the mel
on in that his tail is adorned with a tuft of
blonde hair, which is never the case with the
watermelon. He wears a tuft of hair-anoth-
er tuft, of course, not the same one at all-on
his head, which gives him very striking ap-
pearance. The pelon dog is found in Austin,
in San Antonio and in tdaales, the latter be-
ing Mexican dish, the Ingredients of which
are as uncertain as those of hash.-Siftings

An Experiment With Hogs

An Iowa farmer put up twenty-one year
old hogs for fattening, and for the first
twenty-one days fed them on shelled corn,
of which they ate eighty-three bushels. Dur
ing this period they gained 1877 pounds, or
upwards of ten pounds to the bushel of corn.
He then fed the same hogs for fourteen days
on dry corn meal, during which time they
consumed forty-seven bushels and gained
535 pounds or eleven and three-quarters
pounds TO the bushel. The same hogs,
next fed fourteen days on corn meal and
water mixed, consumed 55t bushels of corn,
and gained 731 pounds, or 133 pounds of
pork to the bushel. He then fed them four
teen days on corn meal cooked, and after
consuming forty-fve bushels of the cooked
meal the hogs gained 100 pounds, or very
near fifteen pounds of pork to the bushel o:

Still through Egypt's desert places
Flows the lordly Nile,
From its banks the great stone faces
Gaze with patient smile;
Still the pyramids imperious
Pierce the cloudless skies,
And the Sphinx stares with mysterious,
Solemn, stony Dyes.
But where are the old Egyptian
mi-gods and Kings?
Nothing left but an inscription
Craven on stones and rings.
Where are Helius and Hephoestus,
Gods of eldest cid?
Where Is Hermes Trismegistus,
Who their secrets held?
Where are now the many hundred
Thousand books he wrote?
By the Thaumaturgists plundered,
Lost in lands remote;
In oblivion sunk forever,
As when DER the land
Blows q $40, unwind, in the river
Sinks the scattered sand.
Something unsubstantial, ghostly,
Seems this Theursist.
In deep meditation mostly
Wrapped, as in a mist.
Vague, phantasmai and unreal,
To our thought he seems,
Walk q in a world ideal,
In land of dreams.
Was he one, or many, merging
Name and fame in one.
Like ream to which converging,
Many streanslets run?
Till. with gathered power proceeding,
Ampler sweep it takes,
Downward the sweet waters leading
From unnumbered lakes.
ID a..
Pausing now and then.
On the mystic union bordering,
Between gods and men;
Half-believiDg, wholly feeling,
With supreme d. light,
How the gods, themselves concealing
Lift men to their height.
Or in Thebes, the hundred gat I'd,
In the thoroughfare
Breathing a. if consecrated,
A diviner air;
And amid discordant noises
In the jostling throng,
Hearing far, celestial voices
OF Olympjan song.
Who shall call his dreams fallacious?
Who has searched or sought
All the UNEMPLOYED and spacious
Universe of thought?
Who, in his own skill confiding,
Shall with rule and line
Mark the border-land dividing
Human and divine?
Trismegistusi three times greatest!
How thy name sublime
Has descended to this latest
Progeny Of time!
Happy they whose written pages,
Perish with their lives,
If amid the crumb ing ages
Sill their name survives!
Thine, priest of Egypt, lately
Found in the vast,
Weed encountered, sombre, stately
Graveyard of the Past;
And presence moved before me
On that gloomy shore,
AS q wait of wind, that DER me
Breathed, and was no more.-Midwinter

Butter baking dish and sprinkle layer
of cracker crumbs over the bottom. Warm
the oysters very slightly in their own liquor,
then arrange single layer of them over the
crumbs, placing them close together. The
juice which clings to each oyster will be
sufficient to moisten the cracker, unless the
latter.is used too literally. Season with pep
per, salt and generous allowance of butter
cut into bits. Put on another layer of
cracker crumbs, then more oysters and sea-
soning, and continue alternate layers until
the dish is full Make the top layer of
cracker crumbs, thicker than the others.
Cover and bake in quick oven for fifteen
minutes then remove the cover and brown
tie top on the upper grating. A large dish
will require little longer; slow oven and

PANIED OYSTERS.

Drain the oysters in a colander, then put
them in very hot frying pan. Turn them
over in a moment so as to cook both sides.
AS soon as they puff up, put them into a
hot platter, which should be standing over a
kettle of boiling water, with little melted
butter, pepper and salt, ready in it. Serve
Immediately. Canned oysters prepared in
this way have the favor of those roasted in
the shell.
