The Pet Pig.

''This is story of q pet pig named
Dennis, which was on a ship in which
sailed" said an officer of the navy
dennis belonged to the steerage mess,
but was so intelligent and the sailors
took such a fancy to him that the edible
purposes for which he was originally
brought on board were given up and he
was presented to the men for a pet
The men made him q suit of sailor
clothes and he used to come aft to quar-
tiers every morning with them on. He
never would come aft unless he was in
uniform. Every Sunday he would sit
on little bench that the sailors made for
him and smoke pipe. Dennis would
hold the pipe, previously lighted by one
of the man, in his mouth until the
smoke ceased to rise from it, and then
he would give a grunt, signifying that
he wanted it pulled up again; a wish
which one of the men always stood by
to crafty. We had other pigs outside
in pen IN the forcastle, and one day
the , hinese steward was sent forward
to kill the largest one. He saw Dennis
roaming around, and before his hand
coald be stayed he had cut his throat.
There was almost a mutiny among the
men, and they wanted to serve the
Chinese steward in the same way that he
had served Dennis. We offered them
Dennis to eat, bnt they would not think
Of such a thing. We offered them an
other pig as a pet. but they said no
they wanted Dennis. We had Dennis
roa ted and ate him in the steeragc, but
believe no one ever ate roast pig with
less relish"

ders for an old Mexican named Francis

weighed out the morphine and put it up
according to direction, but thought
while [ was doing so that the powder
seemed to be unusually large. Next
morning when l was arranging things in
the store found that there was ten
grain weight in the scale beneath the
one the prescription called for and each
of these powders was ten grains too
large!
"A cold chill ran down my back when
l realized the mistake, for it meant GER
tain death A short time afterward the

morning, Doctor" He's dead Did

do with it. He died half an hour be-

HOW ENGLISHWOMEN GET ON.
Little Picture of High Society in London.

Who has not watched with interest
and amusement the career of some mid
dle-class Englishwoman, married to o
man who rolls in money (honestly or
dishonesty made is mere detaiD and
who is bitten by the social craze2 Her
first step is to have nice home and q
good cook. 1t is easy to pick up few
men. Her husband can put them on
boards as directors, or she can scrape
acquaintance with few social whelps
at Sandown or some such place. These
she gets to dinner. One or other of
them has a wife. The wife is obtained
by little adroit management, and one
wife secures others-''ce nest que la
premiere femme qui coute." Her din
ners are $50 nice," and she always take
care to see that Mr. sits by Mrs..
By pursuing this course she eventual
ly gets very grand people, who like to
sit by each other, to come to her din
ners. by degrees she receives invita-
tions to Official omnium- gatherums, and
to brushes more numerous perhaps than
select. She now processes a great sym
pathy for some middle-aged nobleman,
who in return for the sympathy gets her
invited to one or two really good houses
where he has firm iooting-his wIfe'a
perhaps or somebody else's wife. The
time has come for her to give a ball
The sympattiz1ng nobleman puts her
into the hands of some lady of quality,
who for consideration asks the guests.
The ball is lavish and is talked about,
and it is followed up by W concerts,
where the very best artists that money
can procure discourse music. She now
joins the Primrose League and the COM
mittees of few charities, to which she
subscribes largely. Finally she gives a
ball, at which she herself invites the
guests. All the professional beauties
are there (this is a matter of a little
money or of trifle in jewelry) and it
is graced by the presence of royalty.
This Is specify followed by few Sun
day picnics at her villa in the country,
ascot or Maidenhead, for preference.)
She is now made. She has attained
her goal. She is on the highest rung of
her ladder. She cuts her old acquaint-
ances (this indeed, is a painful necessity
She can refuse to invite this Or that per-
son to her parties. She can deplore the
number of upstairs that manage to find
their way into society. She is respected,
admired and envied Her only thorn is
her husband, who is dull and vulgar-a
mere monev-making machine. She
makes him subscribe largely to the Tory
Party funds. This secures his election
to the Carlton Club by the committee as
an ''eminent Conservative" A second
subscription leads to his being elected
as Tory member by a Constituency.
Between the club, the House and the
city he is not much IN his wife's way,
and when he is at home he discreetly
holds his ongue.-Lond0n Truth.

In the Congo Region.

"The negroes of the Congo Free
States of Africa" says Henry NJ Stan
ley, don't resent the invasion of civil
Zation. They like it. They like the
methods of civilized dress. You will
find Gen. Wolseley's fine coats on a ma
tive, Lord Alcester's clothes en- the back
of another negro. They do up and fix
thousands of old coats in Whitechapel,
London, and send them out to the ma
tives. At first the negroes merely wore
an Admiral's hat and a big stick, but
now they have found out that these ar
ticles are not sufficient. The Germans
are very sharp at trade. The way they
manage is: They invite the chiefs to a
grand breakfast. They have a room
furnished in apple pie order, grand mir
rors, sofas, chairs, carpets, knickknacks.
and bric-a- brac. Then the native chief
looks around and says: This is very
nice. I wish 1 could have something
like it. VIII you sell itp Yes says
the German; how much oil will you
give me" When the price has been
fixed the whole contents of the rooms
were carried bodily away to the black
chiefs house and the next morning the
German gives another breakfast.
