A Story With a Potent and Far-Reachins
Moral.
There are a great many romances
connected with the numberless claims
that turn up here. Some of these are
quite pathetic. l have one now in my
mind. The hero, if 1 may confer on
him that pleasing distinction, is of the
name of Reed. Colonel Reed, Major
Reed, Captain Reed, Commodore Reed,
or perhaps it is simply plain Mr.. Reed.
Anyhow, he once lived in st. Lonis. He
has nose sadly out of joint and is not
handsome man, but is persistent. He
had claim arising out of some naval
affair, which he came here to urge upon
Congress for twenty years or more. He
came to Washington every winter. He
actually lived on the prospect of collect,
ing that claim. He would not be put
off by denial or threat He finally came
here to live; camped, as it were, on the
ground. He beset the Senate Commit
tee on Claims like a troubled dream.
He materialized every morning in the
midst of the committee when they as
sembled in their room at the capitol.
He always came up smiling The time
arrived when the matter became one OF
self-preservation on the part of the
Senators, and they allowed his claim in
order to get rid of him. He collected
$4,000 from the Government People
used to laugh and say he would never
get cent. Nevertheless he did quite
well. But what he made in twenty
years he lost in a day. Mr.. Reed had a
wife. In moment of exultant CRATE
fulness to her for having chung to him
through all the years of his struggle he
laid out his $4,000 in Washington real
estate and turned over to her the deeds.
The face of the domestic moon forth
with changed. Husband and wife quar-
relied. Husband was put off in the gar
ret to sleep and given twenty-five cents
a day to buy something to eat. Since a
single pot of tea cost thirty-five cents in
a first-class restaurant in Washington
he was somewhat cramped for liveli.
hood, and now has gone about to sue
the wife for restoration of the prop
erty. The lawyers who have his case in
hand are good deal stumped by it, as
suits of this kind have seldom occurred
in all the long and varied line of marital
fnfelieities. - Washington Cor. N. Y

WEEDS.
The Self-Inficted Curse that Follows Our
Race,

The Self-Infiicted Curse that Follows Our
Race.
There are some things which should
be done as well as others. We have
costly agricultural colleges and expert
ment stations which are devoted, or
claim to be, to the encouragement and
protection of agriculture. No doubt
these are of some service to farmers,
however little the usefulness of the serv-
ice may be. 1t might be expected that
the results of the scientific work of
these institutions should at least be con-
sistent and as ''seience is truth" these
results should be in accord with each
other But instead of this there is the
greatest disagreement among them
selves, and with the experience of prac-
teal, intelligent farmers, and so far as
useful knowledge goes, the Professors
are like the doctors and lawyers of an
eient times who spent their time over
small things and left neglected the
weightier matters which were of most
Importance. And the question of how
to deal with insect pests is one of
the greatest Importance to farm
ers, who are justified in looking for
help to the institutions which they sup
port. America is weedy country
Everywhere weeds prevail In the
fertile West they at times hide the corn,
and the writer has seen the common
pig-weed, or lambs quarter, (CAemopo-
diam atbun,,) in new stubble ground
in Western Kansas, growing six feet
high and densely covering the ground
over 160-aere field in May. So the
universal beggars' ticks (Bide'as from
doSa) cover the river bottoms in the
South completely every Fall after the
crops have been removed. and grow to
height of more than six or seven feet.
The common "barnyard' grasses Pan
icum sangutnaIe, Panicuna capitlare.
and Panicuns cr'usgGlh) cover the land
from Florida to the lakes; and it is a
fact that the threshing machine engine
fires in Dakota are fed with the suffi-
GENTLY abundant weed seeds which are
cleaned from the grain. What vast
waste and labor are involved in this
growth of weeds! Truly the ancient
curse still follows our race, and the
earth brings forth ''thorns and thistles'
for our torment, really self-inficted be-
cause we take no effective means tC
avoid it.-N. Y Times.

TRANSMISSION OF BLOOD.
The Enthusiasm Relative to this Method
of Treatment Dying Out.

The Enthusiasm Relative to this Method
of Treatment Dying Out.
By this is meant the introduction OF
blood from the veins of person, or an
animal, into the veins of another person
who may have suffered dangerous loss
of blood.
There have been great changes OF
opinion as to the value of this treatment.
Anciently the blood was regarded as the
life of the man, or, as containing the
life in some mysterious sense, instead OF
simply furnishing nutriment to the va
rious tissues. Hence, long before the
fact of the blood circulation was known
physicians tried to supply new life to the
body by introducing into it fresh, healthy
blood from another man or animal.
AS late as the seventeenth century
learned Psychologists discussed the ques-
ton whether the introduction of sleeps
blood into the dog would not give wool
and horns to the latter; or whether
lambs blood would not render an iras-
chile person mild; or whether the blood
of Young person would not restore
youth to the aged. In the century that
followed many experiments in transfu-
sion were made on animals with these
ends in view.
Between thirty and forty years ago
TRANSMISSION of blood from one person to
another was frequently made, not only
in cases of loss of blood, but for many
kinds of diseases. The theory was, that
the bad blood of the patient should
IL Iof ho int If hn
''good blood" Grave and often fatal
results brought the practice into dis
credit.
In 1859, TRANSMISSION having resulted
quite successfully in a certain class OF
cases, it again became very popular,
and until about ten years ago was
looked on as almost panacea in a large
variety of ailments. To-day, however,
this enthusiasm has utterly died out.
1t is found that blood from an animal
transfused into human being, or from
one animal into different kind, under
goes injurious chemical changes; and
that when blood is introduced from one
human being into another, there is
great danger of its CLOTHING in the veins
It has also been learned that when
TRANSMISSION has saved life, it has been
simply from starting the stagnating
current, and not from any reviving
action of the new blood.
When loss of blood causes stoppage
of circulation, though the heart con-
tinues to beat for a while it fails to
draw up and circulate the blood, be-
cause the loss has SO reduced the press
ure. 1t is now found that solution of
common salt starts the blood-current
equally well and with entire safety.
Blood, however, introduced directly
from the veins of one person into the
veins of another, is also safe opera

Didn't Bar Her Dover.

A Rhode Island husband and wife
separated twenty years ago, and the
husband applied for divorce. The di-
vorce was denied. Then the wife APP
piled for divorce. This was granted,
and the husband was ordered to pay the
wife alimony of 500 a year. Several
years later the Legislature changed the
law and the husband stopped paying.
Meanwhile the husband sold two houses
in Fall River, the wife not joining in
the deed. The parties continued to
live separate, and about a month ago
the husband died, aged seventy-six. No
one followed him to the grave but the
two families who had bought the real
estate from him. Now that he is dead
his wife, who is seventy-two years old,
becomes vested in rights of dover in tho
houses which he sold, and has made de.
mands upon the purchasers for her
third, which they will have to pay

PIGS.
The Kind of Animals Ohe Should Select
to Secure the Best Quality of Pork.

The Kind of Animals Ohe Should Select
to Secure the Best Quality of Pork.
If you prefer to have the pig narrowed
in the spring, you can, by judicious
selection, procure greater quantity of
pork in proportion to food consumed
than by keeping fall pigs through the
winter. The first point to notice in a
pig is its face. The shorter and more
dished the face the better. In fact, we
venture to say that a pig with broad,
dished face will be found good in every
other quality. He will fatten On
small proportion of food, and will re-
main quiet and easy in his pen. He
will come up to the trough, eat all he
desires, and go to his corner to digest
it, which will be done quickly, when he
will again come forward for his meal to
eat quietly and retire. He will not be
squealer, nor run mad over his feed,
but will be quiet and easy in all his
movements. So much ia favor of the
face alone, which indicates excellence
in the habits and general characteristics
of the animal. When the pig is some
what advanced in growth it should be
noticed that his hair is soft. A good
pig has no bristles, but the body is COW
cred with hair, and the finer the hair
the better. Now examine the pig
for fineness of bone. You do not want a
coarse, heavy-limbed hog, such as
denotes offal. Small bones and short
legs (not too shorty are desirable. He
should be broad across the chest, with
ribs well sprung and wide, the neck
being short, and the back level and fiat.
The hams should be full and prominent,
setting well to the rear, the body pre-
senting when viewed from the front a
broad form, but when viewed from the
rear a square appearance. That is, he
should seem long in body but his breast
and rear parts (across the hams) should
look fiat, as an old maxim is that box
two-thirds as wide as it is long should
fit him exactly The ears should be
small and well set on, while even the
tail should be fine, long and tapering.
By thus noticing the form it matters
little what the breed may be, but such
| points do not exist with scrubs. The
color is of no consequence, though some
maintain that black hogs do not blister
in the sun, but we have found white
hogs to thrive and do well in all sec
tons. When dressed the black hogs
make white carcasses, provided the
hair is completely taken off by scalding.
If shaved with knife, however, dark
! spots will be indicated. We do not wish
to state how the pig should be fed, the
object being to give information in re-
gard to selection. The points are
dished, short face; small bone; promi-
nent hams; long body; broad deep
chest; plenty of stomach; soft hair; and
long square shape. But, as we stated,
the most desirable point is the dished
face. as such hog is usually good in
all other respects.-FSeld. Farm and
