Feeding Hogs.

The popular idea that IA hog cannot
hart itself by over feeding is errOne-
Gus. Even if fattening, it is better to
give only what can be eaten up clean
at one time and at regular intervals.
If the feeding occurs at stated times
each day, the hogs will lie down and
sleep in the intervals, and this will
fatten them faster and be more health
full than keeping food before the ami
mails all the time. A mass of partially
eaten food left in his trough is distaste
full even to a hog, and makes him eat
less in quantity and with less relish
than he otherwise would.

The honor of being the plainest look
ing man in congress is borne this win
ter by Lyman, a new member from
Iowa. He has a smooth face, round
shoulders, carrOty hair, flattened nose,
and an expression of utter vanity. The
first day he was in the house every one
stopped to look around after him. He
lives in Council Bluffs, and is consider
ed so good a lawyer, that he declined
place in the supreme court of his
state, In order to come to congress.
He Is really strong man, and his as
sociates are beginning to find it out,
but at first sight he is certainly about
as unattractive a person as we have.
The toughest looking specimen is still
WOlford of Kentucky, though he has
improved good deal since his first
appearance two wears ago. Then, he
seldom wore "a collar in the house, and
his whole attire was of IA character that
attracted everybody's attention. Now
his friends have bought new suit of
clothes for him, and he is really in a

he goes by the name of "PuDch." Ow-

A Vermont Soldiers Story.

The Board of pension examiners
had AN applicant for an increase of
pension recently who has had re-
markable history. He was John De-
laney of Rupert, who entered the ser
vice as "A drummer boy in the Thirty
first New York, when about 10 wears
old. After two years service he en-
listed in Company q of the Vermont
cavalry from Bennington, and is prob
ably the only survivor of the immortal
10 who rode into Richmond, March 3,
1864, under brave Col. Dahlgren. The
act was considered almost foOlhardy,
and resulted in the death or capture of
every one of the raiders. Dahlgren
called for volunteers, and with Is
plucky cavalrymen made "A raid on

IN their attempt to escape Dahigren

got well, although there was little
chance of his recovery. After about
seven weeks of suffering he got we'll,

a valuable watch to allow him to take

Plenty of Room Here.

A doleful picture is given in a letter
to Boston paper of the political and
of the hardships endured by young
Americans who have gone there to get
rich, but who "have grown premature
ly old from hard labor and poor food
who have sunk the little they had, and
have nothing but a matched roof and
a fROU checked mp with weeds" The
picture may he over cOlOred by per-
sOnal disappointments, perhaps, bnt it
teaches wholesome moral. The young
man of energy and pluck, who wants
to "grow up with the country" can
find plenty of room still in his own
land:-( Providence Journal.

The Coolest Man in the French Army

The Coolest Man in the French Army.
"The coolest man | ever knew was
old Victor de st. Hilaire, the colonel
of an infantry regi ment that saw some
service in Algeria" said Colonel Henri
Dubois, one of Il party of French off
GERS who, having halted to take look
at Siam on their way home from the
TOnquin war, had come to dine with
us on board of British gun boat
which had somehow found its way up
the Mei-Nam river.
'G've known men," he continued,
"whO managed to put on Il great show
of GOODNESS in time of danger, though
they were really very much excited +;
but there was no putting on with st.
Hilaire-it came as natural to him as
eating his dinner. All his hairbreadth
escapes land he had had so many that
he could hardly count them himselO
had left him as cool as before, and it
really seemed us if dangers passed him
by because he would not condescend
to notice that they were there at all.
Once his men mutinied, and two of
them clapped their bayOnets to his
breast as if to run him through but
the colonel only smiled, and said, as
quietly as ever, 'Be careful, my lads /;
you might hurt me-
''Now it happened that in Colonel
st. Hilaire's regiment there was pep
perry young sub-lieutenant who was as
hot as the colonel was cool. With him
it was always las you English say "a
word and blow and the blow first.
He had fought so many duels that the
soldiers used to call him Sudden Death,
and to say that the best way to end
the war would be for him to challenge
the enemy's whole army, man by man.
Well, one day this lieutenant had COM
mitted some fault, for which the colonel
gave him such scOlding that the
young fellows hot blood couldn't
bear it any longer. Quick as lightning
he whipped out II pistol and fired right
at st. Hilaire's face, so close the muz-
zle almost touched him. But the pis-
tOl missed fire, and the colonel said.
quite cOolly, Forty eight hours arrest
for not keeping your arms in proper
ORDER"
"And was that all the lieutenant
got ?" asked dozen voices at once, in
indignant amaZement.
"That was all and | can tell you

SOciabiIity at Fairs.

At the first farmers institute of the
Hampshire agricultural society at Am
herst recently, j. G.. Dillon explained
the reason why the English fairs were
so successful and the interest taken in
them never abating. Mr.. Dillon said
it was largely OH account of the sOcia
bility manifested among the English
people. Fairs were held in the market
places every week, and as every sixth
house is a tavern they gather there in
companies and have a social good time
over their glass and pipe. Formerly
they seldom returned home perfectly
sober, but now it is the reverse and
seldom any one becomes intoxicated.
Mr.. ID. did not wish, however, to be
understood that he advocated English
customs here in Amherst. Fairs, sim
liar to those in England, have been
tried many times in the Eastern part
of the state, and have failed because
there was that social element lacking.

finished the seeds
Little Bertha ran out of the garden,
delighted to escape from its confinement,
while Sophie continued her work undis-
turbed by the child's prattle.
1t was bright day in early spring,
and ashade of green had already spread
over fields and banks, though as yet the
trees and hedges had not put forth sin
gle leaf to tell of approaching summer.
Here and there stray daisy raised it's
open petals to greet the blue sky, and
seemed to rejoice in the sunshine.
After taking several races over the
short grass, Bertha walked slowly round
the bank, searching for wild flowers but
not one was to be seen. A gap led in
to the next field, and passing through,
she was rewarded by finding cIump of
celandine in full blow. Having gather

down a narrow lane, where few prjm-

The alternative as to whether man was

raised now that we are exercising the
free use of reason. Mans dentition has

IN the mammalian group. Hence, first
Of all it is reduced dentition. True, we
DO not know the definite stages by which
it was attained by man, any more than
we do in the case of the anthropomor-
phoids, and all the other apes of the old
world, but we shall not hesitate to main
tain that the ancestors of man possessed
fuller number or teeth as long as de-
ductions are justified from the observa-
hon of facts.
Our teeth have decreased in number
during the course OF our geologico-
geological development; we have lost on
either side, above and below, two in
cisors, two premolars and one molar.
By this we transfer ourselves back to
those periods from which the jaw of the
otocyon has been preserved. Baume, our
eminent odontologist, in a recent work
has successfully followed and pointed
out cases of atavism or reversion in the
human jaw, by tracing cases of surplus"
teeth-and certain dental formations met
with in the jaws in a large percentage
of cases-back TO those portions Of the
jaw in the animal ancestors of man
which have disappeared in the course of
ages.-Oscar Schmidt in Popular Science
