HOME AND Farm.

An Iowa farmer, writing to the
Homestead, gives as his experience that
an exclusive diet of corn Is the cause of
hog cholera. He claims that the hog
should be treated TO 3 variable diet like
any other animal, and that corn Is not
q complete article of food, the hog re-
quiring suitable food for converting into
bone and muscle as well as fat.

An Ingenious Design for Bridge.

Writing of the need of providing means
of communication between the northern
and southern banks of the Thames, below
London bridge, a correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Telegraph says:
London is not only the biggest city
but the largest port in the world, and q
bridge has to be designed which shall
interfere as little rs possible with the
shipping. Ths question has been re-
ferred by tho metropolitan Board Of
Works to their engineer, Sir Joseph
Bazalgette, who now recommends a
high-leyel bridge and swo subways-s A
high-level bridge has the objection that
it Is enormously costly, as 20 much prop
erty has to be acquired to obtain proper
approaches. A low-level bridge inter
feres with traffic; but genius has arisen
who has designed q low-level bridge to
suit the exigencies of Thames River Araf-
fic. Whether his scheme is feasible OF
not may be questionable, but the idea Is
certainly Ingenious Inthe center Of the
river three piers of stone are built, about
two hundred yards long; q bridge is built
out from each bank OF the river to the
nearest pier, but, before reaching it.
forks out Y-fsshion to the extremities Of
the pier. We thus have two horizontal
Y-shaped structures, each terminating In
q pier, with a wide space between them,
in the middle of which is n third pier.
At each end of the third OF middle piei
is swing bridge to be worked by by.
draulic power: when shut, these form
the connection and complete the com.
munication. The idea is that when any
vessel. unable by reason of her mast, to
pass under the bridge, shall arrive, she
shall enter the dock formed by the piers,
the swing-bridge to be closed after her,
and the traffic directed upon it, while the
other swing-bridge is opened and ths
vessel passes out"

bon. Twas invited to enter pew occu-
pied by one old lady, and Is my prayer
book was in the school-rack had none,
and did not like to help myself without
invitation. Ash hesitated, q book was
passed to me from the pew behind me.
This Is the place." said charming
voice, and as 1 bowed my thanks, 1 saw
that the page was marked with q pressed
daisy.
Instantly the visit to the gypsy camp
and the fortune-teller's prophesy rushed
into my memory. / could not have
helped looking at the pew behind If my
life had depended on it / actually
turned my head and looked full at the
gentleman who had given me the book
he had black hair and eyes, a long
moustache and dimple on his chin that
you could put your finger in.
The congregation were rising; arose,
too. held the book in my hand and
softly turned to the hy-leaf before the
title-page. A name was written there
Robin Armytage.
Who can blame If said 10 myself:
Certainly have met my fate at last"
1t is vulgar to ''iirt'-wrong to make
acquaintance without introduction, but
it was all Robins fault. When he held
his umbrella over me one rainy day;
when he met me as 1 went shopping for
Berlin wool for my afghan, and walked
with me and talked; when old Billberry,
who made the fires for the school came
upon me in the garden one morning. and
pointing to a gentleman, where he had
no business to be, looking over the fence,
said: /" Look here, Miss. This here is
Mr.. Robin Armytage. Proud to make

pudence to INTRODUCES him to uncle in the
holidays, and in three months we were
engaged graduated, lett school, and
soon after married Robin, and was as
happy as . bird, or butterfly, or
squirrel.
i had told Robin about the gypsy, of
course, aud he had agreed with me thai
it was all very wonderful so often; and
at last, one bright spring evening, as we
walked together. spoke again of the
strange prophesy, and particularly Of
the fact that the gypsy had known his
name, and was growing little excited
over it all, when Robin put his arm about
my waist and drew me close to him
"My darling" he said, "I can't de-
ceive you any longer. There was no
prophesy about it whatever. had been
in love with you for weeks had watched
you everywhere. and followed you to
the camp. paid the gypsy five dollars
to say just what told her, and gave the
old sexton two to get me into the pew
behind you. OF course, / also bribed
Bribery. All is fair in love as In war.
You forgive me, don't youP"
For a little while 1 wouldn't, but at
last gave in. One must. you know.
'.I thought it was the hand Of fate that
guided me-" said, cor I'd never have
spoken to you or let Billberry Introduce
you, or deceived uncle"
''It was all very wrong, 1 know"
Robin answered. "lt would have been
very shocking II it had been some other
fellow, but you see it was 1.
Yes, it was him. That seemed to make
all the difference
30, Robin. the hand of fate was in it,
1 believe, after all"-Aary Kyle Dallas,

Speed Of Railway Trains.

The speed of q railway train Is one of
the things that-people almost uniformly
over-estimate, just as the seating oapac-
ity OF building is generally put at too
high figure. This observation is sug-
gested by arecent railway achievement
in the Old World. A special train char
tered to convey party Of capitalists and
journalists from Paris to Vienna recently
performed that journey in twenty-eight
hours. As the distance is little less
than 800 miles this constitutes an aver
sged speed Of about thirty-two miles an
hour, which is considered in that country
remarkably good record. OF course
this does not compare with the speed
which has been attained In this country
for less distances, and is Insignificant
when contrasted with English rates OF
speed for shorter distances. But for
through continuous travel in an uneven
country 1t is accounted a memorable
achievement The Railroad Guide for
the present month indicates that the
fastest express train between New York
and Chicago consumes Just twenty mine
hours in accomplishing the trip-a dis
tance of 975 miles. This is found TO
represent an average speed Of thirty
three and two-thirds miles an hour. It
thus appears that we are not much ahead
Of European countries generally in this
respect, and the difference may readily
be accounted for on the ground Of
greater physical difficulties in the dis
trictreferred to.-Geueland Herald.

Multifarious Lover.

q A Washington correspondent writes
that in one Of the rooms of the census
office are two young ladies clad in
mourning. One of them has been in the
census Office for some time, the other
was recently transferred there from the
land Office. They were both engaged to
the same young man, who was clerk
in the census office. He died some
weeks ago. One did not know that he
was engaged to the other until a few
days since. In one Of the rooms of the
patent Office q young lady grieves the
loss Of her lover. The lover was the
same young man. How he would have
managed II he had lived no one knows,
but now he is dead, three young ladies
upon whose lips he had planted the sa-
cred kiss Of betrothal, hold his memory

be the most prosperous in the south.
In one county they own ten thous-
and acres of land, 825 head of horses
and mules, over 1000 head of cattle
and sheep, $500 hogs, and their per-
sonal property is valued at $4,000.
In other counties they make an
equally good showing. They do
not want to emigrate from the
State, and most of them are anxious
to have their children educated.
