THE Spanish Premier, Sagasta, has again
brilliantly triumphed over all opposition by
the overwhelming vote in the Cortes which
sustained his course in favor of the main
tenance of official oaths. He really seems
to be the strongest and ablest man in Spain
connected with political affairs at the
present time, and his policy of moderate
liberalism is exactly what Spain needs more
than anything else.

If there be any degree Of truth in the
continual reports respecting the illness of
Prince Bismarck, that great statesman must
be much more infrm in health and borne
down by the pressure of official labors than
has been generally believed. But he has
done enough work already to render his
fame immortal il. his career should be ter
minated within short time. He is proba-

of all the operations of the German Empire
in his own hands, and to his unwillingness

At the late meeting of the National
Swine Breeders Association. Mr.. F. ID.
Curtis, of New York, from committee
specially appointed to consider this ques-
ton. submitted the following report which
was adopted: That owing to the improved
sanitary condition in the management OF
hogs on the farm the disease known rs
the hog cholera has been almost entirely
eradicated. In most of the States there
are no traces of it at present, and your
committee are entirely satisfied that
with more care in providing greater
amount of succulent food and
green pasturage, with pure water. with
less exposure in cold weather. and the
keeping of swine in smaller herds. so that
in sleeping there would not be so much
piling upon each other, thereby producing
excessive condensation of moisture and
also partial suffocation, this disease would
be entirely destroyed. We would most
emphatically urge upon the pork raisers
the paramountimportance of preventatives
for all diseases, by using the utmost means
in their power to better the condition OF
their swine, and especially to provide
them with as great a variety Of food
as possible during growth, and always
with shelter from inclement weather
which is, undoubtedly. one of the chief
causes of sickness in hogs. In-breeding
should be avoided to prevent the spread
ing of any contagious diseases among
swine. We recommend that laws should
be passed by all the States placing all an
imals thus affected Immediately in quaran-
tine, with restrictions and severe penal
ties in any case of the violation OF the
law. The disease of trichiniasis is un-
known among the farmers. who all eat
their own pork, and we fail to see how
corn, the chief food for the hogs which
make up the market supply, can
in any possible way be productive OF
trichiniasis. The active efforts of the Ma
tional Administration in endeavoring to
obtain repeal of the embargoes Of GER
tain foreign governments against the i'm
portation of American pork are highly
appreciated. and we would approve OF
continued efforts. and. as the interests at
stake are so great. of radical measures.
to the extent of a rigid governmental in
spection, both before the slaughtering OF
the swine and the packing and the foreign
shipments of pork products.

a Word to BARRIERS,

A face well lathered is half shaved
After you have thoroughly soaped
your customer face, seize him by the
nose, and begin operations. This en-
ables him to breathe through his ears.
It is considered very unprofessiona]
for q barber to brush his customers
coat. Ii the boy happens to be absent
let the customer brush his own coat.
Never fail to remind a man chat his
head is full of dandr;lff. A tonsorial
artist who neglects this plain duty
doesn't know any more about his bust
ness than barber.
Always keep on your table SIX
months old copy of the Police Gazette
and also a copy of the Fireside Com
l'aaion. These two publications are
indispensable to every well regulated
barber shop.
If you have been eating onions and
drinking gin be frank with your Gus
TONER and tell him SO. Otherwise he
may think it is the sewer.
II, while cutting hair and watching a
dog fight on the street at the same
time, you find that your shears come to
an abrupt stop, neglect the dog fight
for a moment. Otherwise you may Cut Cut
off somebody ear.
When a man comes in whom yc-
know to be q stranger, always ask him
if he ''has a cupP'' He will say no, Of
course; but his manner will Indicate
that he is pleased. AS a rule none but
bankers, brokers, statesmen and edi-
tors indulge in the luxury of a private
