around the man, and the man

ually grows exciting.
a woman, however, does not get
nervous, and when she fires there
is death and mourning in the flea
family. She merely holds her
thumb and tore fin ger of tho right
hand about an inch apart, and
then hurling her hand like a har-
poOn into pillows Of lace and crin-
oline and ruflies, she brings forth
the flea, which she rolls as gently
between her fingers as If 1t was a
rose leaf, AMI then drops thc
mangled corpse as if the feat was
not worthy of the slightest notice.
Tho movement Of the hand is as
quick as fash, and it requires a
trained eye and some knowledge
of the art to detect Il woman when
she catches flea. There are vast
numbers of able men who have writ
ten volumes about the peculiari-
ties of women. and from their Ian
guage one would judge that what
they did not know about women is
not worth knowing, yet not one of
this class Of men knows that a
woman can sit in parlor full Of
company and draw her feet up and
sit on them, Turkish fashion, with
out aeitating her skirts in the least.
How she does it, IS a secret
which the sex for centuries have
carried down to the grave. They
perform this difficult acrobatic feat |
while man is booking them square
in the eye, and he does not know
it. lfa man should attempt any
thing of the kind, he would require
an empty lot to practice in, and
his legs would swing around in the
air like a pair Of consumptive
derricks. 1t may be urged to the

Hog Cholera.

Mr.. J. Long, of Jasper county,
says. Years ago lost thousands
of dollars worth Of hogs, but for
the last six years have not lost
any, and have a remedy that l
will warrant. / have tried it in
thousands of cases, and never had
a failure. l am now engaged in
buying lots of hogs where cholera
prevails; l bought two hundred
and fifty recently and found n"
trouble in curing them. My rene
dy is this: Make concentrated lye
into good soap hy the usual rule;
take ono pail OF the soap to fifty
hogs; put it in a kettle, add water
and two pounds Of copperas, boil
it; then add dishwater and milk, or
anything to make it taste good,
till you have about what the hogs
will drink. Place enough Of the
mixture, while warm, for twenty
FIVE hogs to drink, in troughs, in a
separate lot. just when ready to
let the hogs in, scatter two pounds
ofsela III the troughs; the object
is to have it foaming as the hogs
come to drink. Be sure that every
hog drinks, aud if he will not drink,
put him in the hospital; and ifyou
cannot get him to drink, then
knock him III the head, for he will
give the cholera to the rest. At
ter twenty-five have had all they
will drink, let in twenty i've more.
and continue till the whole are
treated. The next day 60 through
the same operation. After the
second day skip day, then give
for two days: aud sou may turn
thcm out cured. generally give
the same dose once i week to my
hogs. An important point is to
make the hog drink. and ifhe viii
not take it any other way, add new
milk Or put 10 sugar.

FACTS ABOUT WOMEN.

| AClC ADOC "OM In.
The Things She Can do Better
Than a Man.
v. O. States.
The average New Orleans man
despite the fact that he is always
| willing to admit that a woman is
Heavens best gift, and the main
stay of the dry goods trade, does
not appear to realize that in a
great many respects she is supe-
rior to the rou.her sex, and can ac
complish in a moment what a man
cannot do in a month. For in.
stance a woman can drop a collar
button in a dark room and so right
to the spot and pick it up. She
cannot explain how the trick is
done, but she knows that she can
do it nine times out of ten, and she
smiles with pride. Let a man
drop bis collar button, and what Is
the resalt? He gets down on his
all fours like a mule, ard paws
around the floor until he splits his
shirt in the back, and gets mad,
and swears until the windows rat

frightens his wife, by saying that
he would rather be in q certain
place without claws than to go
tinkeripg around after a blasted
button, and Swears that he will
buy a barrell full of then, the next

and this makes him so mad that he

bad husband.
With long cob-webs hanging
from his nose he slares at his wife,
and wants to know if she thinks
his eyes are in his boots, and that
he is wallowing all over the house
merely to amuse himself. Sudden
~ the idea seizes him that the in
fernai button is under the bureau,
and he gallops to it like a lame
jack rabbit, and while trying to
look for the button le sticks his
head under the bureau and gets it
wedged there, and kicks his legs
in the air until his wife
comes to the rescue, and pulls
him out. While he is putting and
grunting III q chair his wife says: ::

she walks directly to the button,

start out in life with the idea that

ness and chlcaucry. They imag
inc if IL man is always able to ''get
the best Of d barg;lin,' no matter
by what deceit and mcauness lie
carries his point, that his pros
perity is assured. This is a great
mistake. Enduring prosperity
cannot he founded OH cunning and

sooner or later, to the influences
which are forever working against
hin. His house is built upon the
