you TO feel scarcely able to be on your feet;

FATTENING PIGS.

Clear Feed Of Dry Corn VIII Not Produce
the Healthiest Pork.
This work should not be delayed too
long. In fact the pigs should be kept
on gradual gain all through the sea-
son. Fattening does not mean taking
out Of the pasture and shutting up in a
close, hot pen. Some men have an idea
other WY, but this stand has been
proven untenable time and again.
There Is no way in which pork can be
SO quickly and cheaply produced as
upon partially green diet. which the
animals gain through the wholesome
exercise Of picking from the pastures.
To be sure they need good portion of
more solid food Of some kind. Corn,
probably,tis the most available for this
purpose, although it is not an econ

mails that are upon grass should have
their feed ground or cooked, or large
portion Of it will pass through them
undigested- The healthiest pork can
not be obtained from . clear feed OF
dry corn. The digestive organs of the
animals 30 fed are sure to get out Of

the whole System becomes tainted and

Ferdinand VI. Of Spain, while suffering I'M

subsequently died, was pacing to and fro one
December day in the year 1879 in his bed

interrupted by the entrance of Maria The

hu band. "a beautiful flower, but scent

Queen. 81 have kept the best for you"
The flower which Maria Theresa brought to
her husband century and half ago had been
presented to her the previous day by a Jesuit
missionary just returned from the indies.
Craving an audience from his sovereign he
brought his Offering, a small shrub, with
glossy green leaves, on which blOssomed two
magnificent white flowers and which he had
brought from the Island of Luzon, one Of the
Philippine group. It was about three feet
10 height and grew in a vase of mother Of
pearl. The Jesuit donor was named Camel
ia. Cuttings from this rare shrub were care
fully cultivated IN tie hothouses Of Fl Buen
Retro, at Madrid. Though it was introduced
into Spain toward the end of 1889, the new
Hover OF Father Camellia remained for long
time in a state of semi Ob:curlty, as the pos
SCISSORS jealousy guarded it lest it should be-
come common. But the monopoly was gradu-
ally relaxed, and the camellia now blooms
rs universally as other beautiful ornaments
of the flower garden.

1he New CathoIic University Site.

The New Catholic University Site.
The selection of Washington as the
site OF the new Catholic University APP
pears to meet with very general approval.
Indeed, no better site could have been
chosen. Washington is destined to be
the finest city ia America, and one OF
the finest In the world. Wealth is accu-
mulating there very rapidly. Cultivation
of letters and the arts will follow wealth,
not only because wealthy people have
leisure to devote to these things, but also
because q very large number among them
have tastes in that direction, and have
the means and the inclination TO crafty
their tastes.
Washington is already a gay city.
More is said about its society during the
season than about the society of any other
city in the country. The reason is that
people distinguished for one thing or an
other in their respective States are falling
into the habit Of visiting Washing On
during the winter season.
Congress is doing all it can to make
Washington a capital worthy of great
nation. The parks, the streets, and the
shade trees cannot be surpassed any,
where. There is plenty of statuary, but
there is a good deal of it about which very
little can be said in praise. The public
buildings are fine, and the private resi-
dences are very attractive.
The site selected for the university is in
the open country and commands a splen-
did view of the city and the Potomac
river. The city is reaching out in the di-
rection of the site, however, and, perhaps,
by the time the university is ready to re-
ceive students, its broad and superbly
paved avenues will extend to the univer-
sity gates. Those who were intrusted
with the duty of selecting a site acted
wisely in choosing Washington.
