The VicerOy and the Baby.

A characteristic anecdote is related
of the late Lord Lawrence, when as
the new Viceroy of India, he was re-
turning to the country in which his
best years had been passed. He was
in bad spirits, partly from sea-sickness;
partly from the lack of friends and con-
genial natures around him, partly from
the feeling of the heavy responsibilities
which he had assumed in comparatively
weak health. a lady was returning to
India with her infant child, which she
utterly neglected, and the baby took its
revenge upon the passengers generally
by squalling day and night alike. They
complained in no measured language
to the authorities, Steward, throw
that baby overboardl" was the cry
which came from many tempest
tossed and sleepless birth. But the
nuisance continued unabated. At last
the new viceroy, perhaps he saw in the
child, half-unconsciously, slight re-
semblance to his lost BERTHE, gave it a
large share of his attention, and would
take it for hours together on his knee,
showing it his watch and anything
that would amuse it. The child took
to him, as he to it, and to the great
relief of the passengers was always
quiet in his presence. "Why do you
take such notice of that child?' Asked
one of them. "Why, to tell you the
truth" said the viceroy, ''that child is
the only being in the ship who can
feel quite sure does not want to get
anything out of me, and so / take
pleasure in its society" How much
of the kindliness and simplicity of a
great nature is revealed by this simple
story.

Selecting n Horse.

The Turf, Field and Farm, than
which there is no better authority on
the subject says: In buying horse,
first look at his head and eyes for signs
of intelligence, temper, courage and
honesty. If bad qualities predominant
in a horse, education only serves to en-
large and intensity them. The head is
the indicator of disposition. A square
muzzle, with large nOstrils, evidences
an ample breathing apparatus and lung
power. Next, see that he is well un-
der the jowl, with jaw-bOnes broad and
wide apart under the throttle. Breadth
and fullness between ears and eyes are
always desirable. The eyes should be
full and hazel in color, ears small and
thin and thrown well forward. The
horse that turns his ears back every
now and then is not to be trusted. He
is either a bitter or a kicker, and is sure

ing naturally vicious, can never be
trained to do anything well, and so a
horse with a rounding nose, tapering
forehead, and broad, full face below
the eyes is always treacherous and not
to be depended on. Avoid the long
legged, stilted animal-always choos-
ing one with short, straight back and
rump, withers high and shoulders slop-
ing, well set back, and with good
depth of chest, fore legs short, hind
legs straight. with low down hook,
short pastern joints, and round null
ish-shaped foot.

the wife of an American farmer to her

Essie's thousand loan was the straw

first time she found Ruth sitting on

lambs play in the sunshine with listless,

TrichinR.

This word-the plural of trichina,
has its accent on the second syllable.
1t is from Geek word meaning hair
and is the name of the hair-like worms
sometimes found in the human mus
cles. The word ''spiralis' is generally
attached to it, and refers to the.man-
ner in which the parasite lies curled
up in his tiny capsule.
When fully grown, it would take
eighteen of the males, placed end to
end, to make an inch. The disease to
which they give rise-at first often
mistaken for muscular rheumatism
called trichiniasis, sometimes trichin-
iaSis.
1t was not until 1885 that the para
site was found in man. During the
next twenty-five. years it was prNved
that there was a connection between
the disease in man and that of hog:
and in 1867 the parasite was found in
the muscles of the latter. Whence
the hog has derived it is an unsettled
question.
AS long as the hog lives the parasite
remains dormant i'll the animal, like
the chrysalis of the butterfly. But
when the hogs flesh is eaten, the tiny
capsules then are dissolved by the di-
gestive juices, and trichinae are set
free.
A single meal may introduce many
thousands of them-Over a million,
says one writer-into the stomach.
THUS introduced they live from five to
six weeks in the intestines, each one
producing meanwhile a brood of at
least one thousand five hundred. The
latter soon migrate towards the mus
cles, following the course of the blood
vessels and nerves, and reaching their
goal about the tenth day.
Here, in five or six months, they pass
into a sort of chrysalis condition, to be
freed from it only by the gastric juices
of some other being: Similar migra-
tions may follow, wave after wave
More or less, however, are swept out
of the intestines, possibly to find their
way back to their ancestral home in
the swine.
The trichine have been found in ey-
cry land They have also been detect
ed in the cat, dog, rabbit, rat, mouse,
nlarmot, the wild hog of Europe, and
even in the hippopotamus.-YosIth

The Great Pork SpeculatOr.

2. d. Armour is of sturdy Scotch
Presbyterian stock. He was born in
one of the central counties of New
York, on a farm among the hills. 1t
was the highest ambition of his boy
hood days to earn money enough to
buy the farm adjoining his fathers.
When the gold fever broke out he was
still a mere stripping; but, full of
Youthful enthusiasm, he started for
California, driving wagon across the
nlains and mountains. He remained
there three or four years, and in that
time saved few thousand dollars.
He had cash enough to buy that farm
and settle down. He had no sooner
reached home than he experienced a
sudden revulsion of feeling. The
streets of the village looked narrow,
cramped and dull; the house appeared
mean and dingy. He only remained
on the farm two or three days, and
