Swine Raising.

The results which have attended the
better housing. more careful breeding
and higher feeding of pigs, in compare
lively recent years, have convinced
most people that any rickety structure
is not sufficient even for the accommo-
dation of swine. For many years
country people regarded the pig as the
dirtiest and least to be cared for, in
the way of housing, of all the animals
IN their possession, and treated it ac-
cordlngly. Probably few animals are
less fastidious about the source from
which their food comes than the COM
mon pig; but if properly attended to
the natural habits of the pig are more
clearly than was formerly supposed.
The pig-stye should be preserved in
the dryest, cleanest manner possible:
the food regularly and judiciously sup
piled. and the skin of the animal cur
ried frequently.
The Tribune and Farmer says: Hogs
are not protected from the cold by
coatings of hair, fine and thick, like
other animals, and are therefore very
susceptible to severe winter weatheS.
10 make pork-raising profitable, there
should be a daily increase in weight,
from the sucking to the mature swine,
and this may easily be done, yet there
are farmers who feed plentifully of
corn all winter, and their hogs barely
come out in spring as heavy as they
were in the fall. They are fed in the
snow and allowed to nest in fence cor
ncrs or open sheds, and SILVER off as
much flesh every day As the grain
makes.

WOMEN ON THE TRICYCLE..
Growing Popularity OF the ExeFeiso IN
New York and Boston.

Growing Popularity OF the Exercise In
New York and Boston.
Central park in New York, as well
as Commonwealth avenue in Boston,
has become the scene of tricycle. riding
for women. The fact IS the tricycle.
has come to stay, and we may as well
mark with special jubilate the era
when the sewing machine goes out and
the tricycle. comes in. A local con-
temporary meandered through a
column editorial the other day to de-
monstrate beyond doubt that every
woman should be taught to sew, when
he truth is that sewing to any extent
is rapidly becoming as unnecessary a
thing for woman to do as is weaving
or spinning. For one reason the great
philosophy of specialization and coop
Grafton that underlies human affairs is
regulating all branches of trade into
certain definite and available channels,
and housekeepingis being reduced to a
! science, rather than kent in that cha
otto state where the wife and mother
also combined in an imperfect and I'M
satisfactory manner the work of
dozen trades. The introduction of
rea 1y-made garments. comprising
every conceivable article of clothing
for men, women and children, has, Of
itself, made revolution in the house,
hold. BY the great principle of coop
Grafton these garments can be obtained
of better material. better cut and better
workmanship, at less price than
would be possible in buying the mater
al at retail and making it at home,
and the so-callcd emancipation of
women has never received such aid as
this feature alone contributes to it.
OF all forms of exercise the tricycle.
promises to be the most available.
Rowing demands conditions which
only certain localities and seasons can
offer; driving is a luxury that only the
wealthiest class of women can COM
mand, and equestrianism is subject to
the same restrictions. Walking,
while invaluable. is often declined on
account of the distance being too
limited, and thus street cars and
conveyances of various kinds arc
chosen, while if tricycling became
general it would be the natural
resource and combine the necessary
transition with most agreeable and
healthy form of exercise. Boston
women who looked on curiously a
year ago to see women tricyclists at
the Institute fair, and who no more
dreamed of it for themselves than they
dreamed of endeavoring to emulate
CavalaZzi, are now adopting the
tricycle. and taking advantage of the
deserted condition of the Back bay
TO practice up and down Common
wealth avenue. Sitting on the balcony
of Hotel Vendome on the avenue front
one sees the feminine tricycIists fit up
and down in the early dusk of these
summer evenings, and the scene is
essentially graceful and picturesque.
The poetic side of tricycling is ex-
quisitely told in the Canterbury
Pilgrimage of Joseph and Elizabeth
Pencil, who journeyed from London
to Canterbury on a tricycle., and have
related their experience, illustrated
by sketches. BY all means let the
sewing machine and all that it stood
or go out, and let the tricycle. andall
hat it represents come in.

Evidently Thought 1t Was "Case.'
The usual transfer from the ship to a
tug was made in southampton bay, and
landing effected with but little trouble
and loss of time. On two previous oc-
casions that had entered England,
the small impeachment carried by ladies
was not examiner at all, but they are
more particular now, and every bag,
satchel and shawl strap was subjected
to rigorous examination for possible
dynamite, rather than the contraband
whiskey and tobacco.
One of the boxes belonging to a lady
of our party had been put in her charge
for transmission to friend in London,
and she was herself quite ignorant
what it contained. On opening it some

What was in it?'' No one could
tell. The three men evidently thought
it was Tease but finally one cut
the strings with an England expects, :"

looked curiously to see what the sus-

packages of Huyler's candy!-that was
all. The men looked ashamed and
bundled it up again with more haste
than care. while laugh went around
the American side of the Southampton
custom house.

AT the Woman's Congress held at
Des Moines. Iowa. in a paper read by
Jennie McCowen, NJ. D., it was stated
that five years ago there was not a
woman physician employed in the
hospitals for the insane, but that the

the appointment of many women
physicians in hospitals over the entire
country.

The BalkAna.

The war fever continues to run high in
the Balkans, and reports of the 18th, say
the Servian army has crossed the frontier.
Germany, with the approval of Russia,
Austria and England, has proposed as
plan for the settlement of the Bulgarian
question, that the following principles be
observed:
First-That the Greek and Servian de-
mands be rejected.
Second-That Turkey be advised to COM
plete her military preparations, SO as to be
ready to interfere on the event of Greece
and Servia moving to enforce their de-
mands.
Third-That the union of Bulgaria and
Roumelia under Prince Alexander, the lat
ter avowing the sovereignty of the sultan,
be recognized.

AN OLD YEAR SONG.

As through tho forest, disarrayed
By chill November, late I strayod,
A lonely minstrel Of the wood
Was singing to the solitude;
l loved thy music, thus said,
When Ger thy perch the leaves were
Sweet was thy song, but sweeter now
Thy carol on the leafless bough.
Sing, little bird thy note shall cheer.
The sadness Of the dying year.
When violets pranked the turf with blue
And morning filed their cups with
dew,
Thy slender voice with ripping trill
The budding April bowers would fill.
Nor pass It's joyous tones away
When April rounded into May;
Thy life shall hail no second dawn
Sing, little bird !! the spring is gone.
And I remember-well-a-da day.
Thy full-blown summer roundelav.
AS when behind q brOidered scree en-
Some holy maiden sings unseen;
with answering notes the woodland
rung.
And every tree-top found tongue.
How deep the shade! the groves how
fair!
But now the summers chant is done
And mute the choral antiphon;
The birds have left the shiverinp mines
70 nit among the trelised vines,
Or fan the air with scented plumes
Amid the love-sick orange blooms,
And thou art here alone-alone-
Sing, little bird the rest have flown.
The snow has capped yon distant hill
At morn the running brook will still,
From driven herds the clouds that rise
Are like the smoke of sacrifice,
Ere long the frozen sod shall mock
rock,
The brawling streams shall soon be
dumb
Sing, little bird the frosts have come.
Fast, fast the frightening shadows
creep,
The songless fowls arc half asleep,
The air grows chill, the setting sun
May leave thee ere thy song is done,
Inc pulse that warns thy breast grow
Thy secret die with thee untold:
The lingering sunset still is bright
Sing, little bird twill soon be night.
