lay down any strict rule regarding
wedding cards, as the size, shape of the

ishment is to be immured in dark dun

arranging stables and pens for our
animals. Horses have lost their sight
by having beer kept in dark stables

haps to the snow, which has reflected 1t

There is no other animal that SO de-

Professor J.. w. Sanborn devotes his
tenth bulletin Of the Missouri Agricul-
tural College, at Columbia, to report of
pigfeeding experiments. Il is an in
-ssrsstIng and useful document from
xhich-in the absence Of ability to
quote Ii nll-we make the following
suggestive sxtract.
These shoats had the stinting infu-
snes Of being taken from roaming and
confined in a pen where they could view
other pigs at large. have found that,
approximately, 2 pounds of food per
day per loo pounds of live pig is used as
maintenance fodder. and that about 2
pounds more are used for each pound
Of growth. A careful view of the fig
ures shows only A pounds per ton saved
BY grinding corn. The rates of toll are
Just twice as high IS IN the East, and on
low-priced corn shout force the
uses of whole corn. Excessive
fairness has restricted consumption to
such an extent as to demand the atten-
tlon OF b feeder. Population has gone,
in 80 years, from % to IS millions, and
swine from 30 to A millions only. Our
people are not lard nor grease eaters.
Grease and wealth and culture are not
companions. No animal converts so
much of It's food into growth as the pig,
and none has so little waste of carcass.
One hundred pounds Of corn are good
for 20 pounds Of pig carcass. We are
not realizing 10 pounds Of steer carcass
from this amount OF food. The ship
stuff fed pig carried less fat even in
the ibres of lean meat than the corn
meal fed lot. Experience convinces me
that the exclusive use of corr meal for a
feeding ration is detrimental to a vigor-
GUS and healthy muscular development,
producing q pig easily subject to dis
ease, distasteful to our consumers, and
more costly than is necessary"

h Romantic story Of q Young siamese
Student.

h Romantic story OF xoung nAameSe
Student.
Troy Correspondent Of the New York Tribune.
Mai Kaun, the young Siamese noble
man who has been afraid to go home
for four years past, because he was in
danger of being beheaded, is now pass
ing his summer vacation at the home OF
Rev. DIR. Samuel House, in Waterford.
He was recently graduated with great
honors at the Williston Seminary, East
Hampton, Mass. Just before the Sia-
mese Embassy sailed for home from
New York on July 5, DR.. House went
to the king Of Siam. .whn". was at the
head of the embassy, and received as
surances from the Prince that Mai KaHn
would now be safe in returning to his
native land. The former regent of the
kingdom, the implacable enemy of Mai
Kaun's family, recently died, and the
present King is liberal in his views, and
i%nclines to foster education and the
sciences. 1t is limited thai Mai Kaun
will take a course in engineering at the
Rensselaer, Polytechnic Institute, and
then return to Siam, where he will SUI
perintend the opening of a system OF
railrods and thus restore the fortunes OF
his once brilliant family.
The story of Mia Kaun is like q page
from an oriental man His father,
a member of the Kings private council,
fell in love with a daughter of the Eng.
lish Consul four years ago, and ran
away with her in a steam yacht. For
this he was arrested and first fiogged
by order of his implacable enemy, the
Regent. who was the Prime Minister at
the time. The English Consul thought
punishment had gone far enough, and
threatened Bang Kok with a gunboat
from Singapore. A Siamese envoy was
sent to England to protest against the
threat of the consul. He was gone
eight months, and in the meantime
the imprisoned nobleman was be-
headed and every member OF his
family who could be reached either
suffered the same fate, or was i'm
prisoned. The property ST all his rela-
tives was confiscated, and his chief wife,
the mother of Mai Kaun, was put to
work in a rice factory. Now, in con-
sequence of royal favor, she enjoys an
honorable position as an attendant mp
on the Queen. Mai Kaun at the time
was studying in the United States, but
the Prime Minister made an effort to
compel the American Government to
give up the boy, so that he could do
with him as he chose. Mai Kaun's
grandfather became insane on account
of the brutal treatment that he had re-
ceived. The English Consul was re-
called by his Government and was
knighted in order to heal his wounded
feelings, His daughter made . mar
row escape from the country.
The new order of things which al
lows Mai Kaun's return home is de-
scribed as solely owing to the enlight-
eminent Of the present King, who,
among other changes, has abolished
the rule compelling every inferior Of
whatever rank, when in the presence of
q superior, to get down on his hands
and knees and crawl.

Household Hints.
Don't regale your visitors with the
shortcomings of your servants.

Don't regale your visitors with the
short-coming of your servants.
Put your clothes in warm water over
night; in the morning wiring them from
this into a boiler containing strong hot
suds, to which is added salsoda the size
of a small hickory nut. Boil them one
half hour, dip them into cold water,
rub them out, rinse in clear, cold water,
thenin water slightly blued, and you
will be surprised to see how easily your
washing is done.
Preserving time is here. For currant
jelly, I mash the currants and strain the
juice from them before cooking. Boil
the juice 90 minutes, add sugar-which
should be hot in the oven-cup for cup,
and boil eight minutes longer. 1t is
very nice, and has such a lovely color.
Hot milk is recommended as a res
torative, and as exerting a most benef-
cial influence over mind and body when
exhausted by labor or mental strain.
Its effects are more in~vigorating and
enduring than those of alcoholic stimu-
lants.
A free application Of soft soap to a
fresh burn almost instantly removes
the fire from the flesh, according to
amedical man himself. If the injury
is very severe, as soon as the pain eas

with fine -four. When this last cover
ing dries hard repeat the oil and four
dressing until q good coating is OBJ
tanned. When the latter dries, allow il
to stand until 1t cracks and falls off, as
it will do in a day or two, and q new
skin will be found to have formed where
the skin was burned.

The Noise of the Fingers.

When you poke the end Of your finger in
your ear the roaring noise YOU hear Is the
circulation IN your fingers, which is the fact,
as any one can demonstrate by first pGtting
his fingers in his ears, and then stopping them
up with other substance. Try it, and think
what a wonder OF a machine your body is.
even the points of your fingers are such busy
workshops that they roar like a small Niagara.
The roaring is probably more the noise of
the circulation than of the blood. 1t Is the
