A writer in one of the English
papers claims that the practice of
ringing swine is one of the principal
causes of the production of dispro-
portionately fat pork, and that as an
indulgence of the animal in its nat
ural desire for digging and roofing
is highly beneficial to the proper
development of the production of
lean or streaky meat, now so much
desired.

of the Netherlands, who is 8 years
old, is being educated in a demo-

Mrs. Garfield has an income of
$4,000, $1,000, of which comes
from the government in the shape of
a pension. General Garfeld's estate
netted the widow about $4,000,
and in addition she received $25, 900

her $4,000, and the popular sub
scription raised just after Garfeld's

The anticipated fusilade over the
free wool provision of the Mills bill
has turned out a flash in the pan.
In the committee of the whole last
week Wilkins, of Ohio, made motion
to strike wool off the free list. 1t was
defeated by years 102 nays 100, thus
retaining the provision by IS major
ity. Sowden, Pennsylvania; Foran,
of Ohio, and Wilkins, were all the
Democratic votes which could be
mustered against free wool. There
is no doubt that had Mr.. Randall not
been i'll his name would have made
four against the proposition. Mr..
Ermentrout was absent and therefore
did not vote. He has been in Berks,
looking after his political interests
since the threatened Sowden-Q Quay
combine on the Congressional con-
test. Vance and McAdoo turned in
for free wool, and Merriman was alb
sent from the city. In fact, the en-
tire Randall following, which set out
so formidable in numbers and noise
i'll the beginning of the contest, has
dwindled away to three.
The Republicans desertions did
not materialize to the extent pre-
sumed. Knute Nelson, of Mimi,
and Anderson, of Kansas, voted
with their party against free wool.
Anderson, of Iowa, voted with the
Democrats in favor of the PROPOSE
ton. Fitch, of New York, did not
vote.
