Mecca to the khedive during the Aast

Cairo. This carpet goes out every year TO
be blessed, and is accompanied by vast
throng of 100000 or 100000 of the faith
full. The attention of the visitor at hrs.
Langtry's is also attracted by the line
and very rare oak carvings on the walls
and stands. Among these Is q famous
fifteenth century cabinet by Nerbruggen
of Antwerp, the great sculptor whose
work so enriches the st. GuduIe caEhe-
dral at Brussels. I believe the wonder
fully elaborate covered pulpit which
saw last summer in the old kirk at
Amsterdam, was also fashioned by him.
The tea service of Mrs. Langtry is very
choice, and includes marvellous collec-
ton of china-perfect bits of blue, IN pat
tern ranging from Wedgewood to willow.
Her dinner service Is decorated with de-
signs by AIillais. And there is a hand
some teapot of solid silver of old English
pattern, given to her by her company

He likes the reputation he has had, but

no; he will shake himself together again
after a while. AS for Mrs. Langtry, she
laughs merrily and plays her play, and
aff1rms that she has never been in Peril

afflicted very singularly, first with ear
ache, then with severe pain in the left
shoulder, followed by nausea and raging
fever, which in a short time subsidies and
the patient then slowly improves. No
serious results have followed any of these
attacks, and as no medical assistance has
been called, as far as we have heard, the
cause or real character.of the phenomena
remains mystery.
Walnut Valley Times: A man named
Brown, from Greenwood county, has a
case in court here for abusing his daugh-
ter, child of fifteen years. A step
mother at home and an unfeeling father
| had driven her to friends away from home
and in this county. Recently, report
says, Brown wanted his daughter home,
came after her, and himself on horseback,
drove her afoot fifteen miles to his home,
where her bleeding feet, to which chung
her ragged stockings, attracted the atten-
ton of neighbors, resulting in Browns
arrest. The case has been continued to
the next term. The girl is fair skinned,
and rather pretty and intelligent.

Grinding and Cooking.
Citr LiYe.stock indicator

To the Kansas City Livestock Indicator
In regard to my operations in making
pork from ground and cooked food, l can
not, for the lack of scales, give The LiVe-
Stock Indicator readers exact figures, but
the plan I have pursued for two years
past has been found very gratifying The
food use daily is about 500 pounds of
corn ground in the ear, cob and all. This
is thoroughly cooked when completed
about 125 pounds of wheat shorts costing
40 cents per 100 pounds) is added and
thoroughly mixed; the shorts is added
when the mush is hot, or just as it ceases
to boil; this scalds the shorts and is equal
to boiling. Before feeding, sufficient
water is added to make a thin Cruel.
My entire herd of hogs, consisting of 40
head. gets no other food or water, thus
you will see that about four and one-half
pounds of corn-and-cob meal and shorts
feeds on an average daily each hog.
Their average is from small pigs to brood
sows weighing over 500 pounds; 80 of
these and 40 fattening hogs weighing
about 200 pounds on an average; so head
probably weighing about 125 pounds,
and 10 head about 30 pounds each. l
never in all my experience with hOgs
had any to do as well as these. I will
not pretend to guess at the gain per day
for the fattening hogs, for I believe it
would astonish any hog-feeder if could
weigh them. They are fed on an en-
closed platform and never allowed to
come on the ground the platform is
built alongside Of their sleeping quarters,
which are foOred I use no bedding. I
add salt to their food sufficiently to sea-
son it well-almost the same as if cooking
it for the family. I have often heard
that ground cObs is an improper food for
hogs, theirfstOmachs not adapted to digest
so coarse an article, and injurious results
would follow, but to all who believe this,
from my little experience / must say that
think they are mistaken, and to my
farmer friends who are annually follow
ing the splendid practice of sheltering
their hogs behind an ordinary rail or
board fence, with the starry canopy of
heaven roofing them, and bedded in
belly deep mud and then telling that
that blooded.pigs they got from so and so
in Illinois or Ohio never got good pigs,
or the pigs nowadays are too fine and
have run QUITO them l would say re-
form study aOE1dt goa are doing. Fine pigs
properly raised will bring more than
three times that number raised in
slOvenly way; keep no more than you
can take care of; keep these dry and
comfortable. Lung diseases and cholera
will be unknown; feed them plenty of
rOughness and believe nothing is more
profitable to the most farmers than to
grind his ear corn and cook and feed it
to all of his hogs, both stock and fatten-
ing, and he will not regret it.

THE EDITORS WIFE.
BY EUGENE FIELD.

When the editor comes from the Office at night,
At very late hour, in a dubious plight,
The impression prevails, and the story Is tolo,
That an editors wife can be always caJoled
With a fb about bridges" and broken down
press
But we VINO have been there are free to confess
That when husbands are late and suspicious are
rife
1t is best to own up to the editors wife.
But, all testing aside-since dimly surmise
That the ladies regard me with sinister eyes
Who more than the wife of our bosom deserves
The sweet veneration her beauty preserves
And the years may go by and our heads may grow
white
Her beauty is ever as pure and as bright
AS when she faced poverty, sorrow and strife,
And blessed our estate an editors wife.
You may drink to your trade and your creatures
of fame
1 raise not my glass till hear her sweet name,
IT'S to her who alone uncomplainingly bears
The all ofour sorrows and most of our cares
Whose wealth of sweet influence subtly inspires
Our gTandest achievements and noblest desires
IT'S 10 her l would drink-Our companion in life
Gods best inspiration-the EDITOR wife.

He Causes the Arrest of Couple fer Rob-
bIng his Mother.
New York Herald.
A bright looking boy of about fifteen
years entered the Liberty street station
house yesterday morning and asked for
detective to arrest a man and woman
whom he said he had followed from Ma
hanOy City, Pa, to recover $765 which
they had stolen from his mother The
boy, who gave his name as Charles Kra-.
tel, told such a straightforward story that
Detectives Click and Brady went with
him to No. II Washington street, where
they found Conrod and Paulina Flint,
who had just arrived from Pennsylvania.
The couple were accused by the boy of
having, while in his mothers employ,
broken open a bureau drawer in the
house and stolen the money. He sus-
pected them at once and when, after
shadoWing them, he ascertained that
they were preparing to go to Europe, he
felt that there was no time to be lost and
came to this city on the same train and
saw them register at the Washington
street house.
The detectives arrested Flint and his
wife. Nearly as much money as the boy
had alleged had been stolen was found
In their possession. A dispatch was
sent to Kratel's father, and the prisoners
were remanded in the Tombs Police
Court to await his arrival.

yet seen the fact announced that she has
become an American. I don't know as
she will think it worth while to be

the right to vote; but she has gone to
housekeeping here permanently, and
has settled down as a New Yorker for
good and all. She has bought a pretty
little hOuse-a dainty maisonet-at I20
West Thirteenth street, close to Mays,
near Fifth avenue-not in a very
fashionable or expensive locality, but
well enough; and her residence will
henceforth alternate between here and
her London house in Dover street, Picca-

A HOUSEHOLD PILLORY.
A Wife Airs Her Grievances in the Deser-

A Wife Airs Her Grievances in the Deser-
ton Court.
Philadelphia Record.
Mrs Matte Norton, scarcely nineteen
years old, and. with atwelve-months-old
baby in her arms, elected the sympathy
of the spectators in the Desertion Court
yesterday by her recital of domestic
troubles. She said she could have en-
dured the switchings and strappings
which Arthur gave her, but when it came
to tying her to a bureau on the floor, it
was more than human patience could en-
dure. She said that her husband had
put a broom handle under her knees,
and, after doubling her up, had tied her
wrists and ankles and strapped her to
the bureau. Then he sat on the bed and
laughed. "He just did it to conquer me, .
concluded the wife, "and said that was
the way they treated him when boy
and he didn't mind"
The NortOns kept house in a single
room on Green street, and the husband
declared that his mother-in-law's inter-
fence was,the cause of his domestic diff
culties. He stated that when he had tied
his wife to the bureau he had kept her
there only ten minutes and had then
held her in his lap for fifteen long min
utes" He said it was necessary TO do
something extra in order to make his
wife mind Judge Biddle lectured the
couple on the responsibilities of married
life, and on the wife promising to try her
husband a month longer if ne would be
kind, the case was dismissed.

THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE WORLD.
By WILLIAM ROSS WALLACE.

By WILLIAM ROSS WALLACE.
Blessings on the hand of woman!
Angels guard her strength and grace
In the cottage, palace, howell,
0, no matter where the place
Would that never storms assa1led 1t {;
Rainbows ever gently curled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle,
Is the hand that rocks the world.
Infancy's the tender fountain;
Power may with beauty flow,
Mothers first to guide the streamlet,
From the souls unresting grow.
Grow on for the good or evil,
Sunshine streamed or darkness hurled
For the hand that rocks the cradle,
Is the hand that rocks the world.
Woman, how divine your mission
Here upon our natal sod;
Keep, Oh, keep the young heart open
Always to the breath of God
All the trophies of the ages
Are from mother love impearled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle,
is the hand that rocks the world.
Blessings on the hand of woman!
Fathers, sons and daughters cry,
And the sacared song is mingled.
With the worship of the sky
Mingles where no tempest darkens,
RainbOWs evermOre are curled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle,
Is the hand that rocks the world.

France lsuyldOzes China.

The French admiral commanding
the fleet operating in Chinese waters
has blown all of the Chinese navy out
of the water that came within reach OF
his broadsdes' Several forts, an arse
nal and other buildings at Foo Choo
have also been knocked to pieces. War
has not been declared, but France hav-
ing demanded large indemnity and
China having refused TO pay it, the for
mer has simply destroyed this property
to convince China that she had better
pay it, else France may destroy very
much more additional, than the amount
of the indemnity.
1t is something like this; we demand
of you ten dollars; now it matters not
whether you owe it or not, in any event
YOU decline to pay it; then we shoot
ten dollars worth of chickens belong
ling to you to show you that you ought
ito pay it, else we might shoot that ma
nv more. Now, that is not exactly
parallel case, only because you might
appeal to the law, which happens to
be superior to us, but in the case OF
China, although she might make
righteous appeal, it would necessarily
Se to European powers and it SO hap
pens that affairs there are in such shape
that no one power dares take a step
that might offend another, even though
it be one Of the weaker ones 1t is the
very essence of bulllozing that France
is putting upon China and with every
present promise of impunlty.
