The twin brother and the wretched
wife of the murderer were both present,
though concealed from view in different
spots. The one fastened to tell the
police, and the other to divide the
spoils.
In order that his word might be be-
lieved, rs the character of the innkeeper
had hitherto been unimpeachable, the
twin brother had to resort to stratagem
in order to cause the criminal to confess
his deed. For this purpose he caused q
trap to be made in the floor of the inn,
and from thence, on given signal from
the police, he emerged, dressed in the
exact fashion of the blind beggar, and
harangued the scared and guilty inn
keeper, who fell in swoon at sight of
what seemed to him the ghost of his
poor victim. This caused the wife to
rush from an inner room in dishevelled
state and confess the whole crime and
throw down her share of the money.
The scene then closed.
During the continuance of the play,
and even while conversation was being
carried on, the orchestra kept up a most
dismal and discordant din with drum
of gigantic size and a pair of copper
cymbals and one -stringed instrument,
name unknown. This was the bette noir
of the whole exhibition, but the dear
people seemed to revel in it. Bang

Our friend, the blind beggar, was GER

The Trumpet of Zion.

In the Royal Museum of Copenhagen
there is and has been for more than 275
years, golden trumpet, known through
out Denmark as the "Danish Horn, u
with engraved emblems, comprising the
symbol of purity, the triple lily. Its
weight is 1O2 ounces and it measures two
feet and nine inches in length. This
horn is said to be genuine trumpet of

Feeding Hogs.

| 1t is the fact that it is as productive
| of evil results to feed swine too much as
! it is to feed them too little. Some peo-
pie seem to entertain the idea that the
only purpose to be sought in fattening
animals or in feeding them for growth is
to stuff them, though a moment of
thought will show plainly enough that
stufing means Generalization of the di-
gestive apparatus. 1t is rule often laid
down, and it is a good one, that animals
should never be fed more than they will
eat up clean; and if feeding always re-
ceived the attention that it should, that
would always be the plan. But our i'm
perfect ideas and systems are very apt to
be the result of thoughtlessness Start
ing with the idea that corn makes fat,
and that the more corn we feed the more
fat we will get, we shovel the corn before
the hog and let it gorge itself. 1t is true
that the more corn we feed the
more fat we will have, provided the di-
gestive functions take care of it. II they
do not, the stomach is overloaded, and
an overloaded stomach means trouble to
O greater or less degree. 1t is to proven
this that we should always aim, whether
we are feeding for fat or bone and mus
Gle. Profit in meat production means
economy in feeding. If we lose an ear
of corn either by having it trod under
foot and into the dirt in consequence of
feeding more than the hogs will eat, or
if we waste it by overlooking the stom-
ach, destroying or impairing digestion,
and thus preventing the system from
utilizing what is consumed, it is so
much off the profit, and while one ear
of corn may not amount to much
good many ears amount to a great
deal. Columns have been written
to show how the price of corn may
be raised by feeding swine, and it is
always interesting reading to the swine
breeder and feeder But it is no trouble
at all to figure out the profit or loss of
profit of a bushel of corn that is wasted.
The herd should be carefully watched all
through the fattening period. The rule
so often laid down by the Rural and Stock
man we again state: Do not feed too
heavily when the fatteIing process is be-
gun, and, by the way, that ought to have
been begun, and generally has been before
this time. Feed lightly at first and gradu-
ally increase the amount; and when the
hogs have become accustomed to full
feed, feed them all they will eat and no
more. Give them good, clean food, and
feed on clean floor. Never act upon
the notion that the hog is naturally
filthy. The animal will eat filth, but it
likes clean food as well as any animal. -

EDISON'S FIRST MARRIAGE.
Forgetting all About His Bride at
the Appointed Hour,

An old telegraph operator, who was
stationed at Menlo Park when Edison
first came there, entertained a reporter
the other day with some stories about
the wizard. He is an oddly, doing moth
ing in tina common way and setting at
naught all the conventionalities. The
first Mrs. Edison was an operator in the
Newark factory where Edison was max
ing the machine to fill his first order fo1
the stock indicator which brought him
into notice and formed the basis of his
fortune. She was tall, fine-looking
girl-one of a dozen sitting at bench
was sswalkings ssfJvafi= -lIne,~ tlaat-girI
spoke up and babe him good morning
without raising her eyes from her work.
"Good morning. said the inventor.
"How did you know it was II"
ooh, always can tell when you're
near" was the reply.
''See here" said the man of inven-
tons, give noticed you q good deal of
late. Suppose you and I get mar
ried2"
''I'm ready"
"When shall it be?"
HThree weeks from tonight"
"All right" and the inventor went on
his rounds while his intended bride
merrily wound away upon her bobbin of
wire.
On the wedding day the first consign-
ment of stock indicators came back from
the purchaser, imperative. When Mr..
Bachelor, who has always been Edison
right hand man, went down to the shop
after supper he found the inventor there
in his dirtiest shop-clothes tinkering
away at the machines. Didn't he re-
member that it was his wedding night2
No, he'd forgotten all about it. Bachelor
dragged the tagging groom to the near
est clothing store, got him into new
suit, then to barber shop, and finally
put him on car and shipped him off to
the house of the bride. Then he went
back to the shop to work, supposing that
was the last of Edison for that night. In
an hour or two, however, Edison rushed
in again, threw his new coat down on
greasy lathe, hung his waistcoat upon
the gas-pipe, kicked his shoes under the
bench, seized file and went at the de-
fective stock indicator as if there was no
such thing as marriage and giving in
marriage. and there he stayed with his
faithful lieutenant till the morning sun
looked in on two weary toilers and an
electrical stock indicator that worked
like charm.
When wealth came to them, Mrs. Edi-
son No. 1 betrayed tendency to branch
out in the social world, but it had no eff
feet on the inventors habits. One of
the largest entertainments Newark ever
saw was given at her house, All the
leading men of the Edison works were
there, but he was nowhere to be seen.
His subordinateS grew little uneasy.
A committee of them went over to his
laboratory about midnight and there was
the inventor, tipped back in rickety
old chair, in his shirt sleeves, his shoe
less feet high unan the work bench, sing
ing away into his photograph at the top
of his voice, happy as a clam at high
tide.
The present Mrs. Edison sticks to her
husband like shadow. She is always
at his elbow in working hours, with book
and pencil, taking down his ideas and
experiments. She is, in fact, help
mate in every way worthy of his abil-
tiles.

The Jury Did Not Agree.

About the year 1921, while being
driven with my mother from the town Of
New Ross, County Wexford, in the
country, we came upon crowd of peo-
pie assembled at the foot of the hill then
known as "The New Road" In the
middle of the crowd were two common
country farm carts, with large "kish''
Ga very large basket used for the car

and not at all at their ease apparently,
we're six men. Our coachmen explained
that these II composed o criminal iury
at the then assizes in Wexford who
would not agree to find a verdict. and
SO, by way of teaching them to behave
better in the future, they were ordered
by the Judge to be carried to the bounds of
the county; so the unfortunate iurvmen
were put into these kishes. and. with an
escort of cOnstables, were iolted from
the county town OF Wexford to New
Ross, and so on to Mountgarret Bridge,
where the river Barrow divided the
county from that of Kilkenny, that be
ing the route by which the judges were
to proceed to the city of Kilkenny. the
next assize town on the circuit. Having
reached the bridge, distance of 26 or
q statute miles, they were, as we heard.
then ANONYMOUSLY shot out of the carts,
like heap of Goals or a load of sand,
and left to find their own way to their
respective homes, some of them living
in the barony of Forth, beyond Wex-
ford.-NOteS and Queries.

THE CHICAGO TINES CHAMPIONS
WOMEN.

Tho Chicago Times has opened a
warfare against the injustice done the
underpaid women wage'workers of
that city, for which noble work both
the Times and its able reporter, Miss
Mol Nelson, ought to receive thanks
and encouragement.
Numerous letters published by the
Times describe large numbers of
girls working under stringent rules
and unhealthy conditions by the piece,
receiving from $3.50 to 81 per week
for ten hours daily work. These
girls are averse to housework, on the
ground of social inequality, loss of
independence, aud especially the
want Of any time which they can call
their own. Que writer describes q
daughter who gets for her work less
than her mother pays out for liquor
and assigns as the two chief causes Of
the surplus Of female labor, the
saloons and the thoughtless cruelty Of
many housewives. Another com.
plains that the schools teach the girls
nothing for which the employers are
willing to pay. Cases are named
where girls engaged in housework If
farmers households have been over
worked and underted until ,hel
health has been utterly ruined. TIL
conclusion is, "You will End the poo
slave on the farm, in the kitchen, il
the shop, everywhere" The onl
remedy seems to lie in free publ
industrial education and the ballo,
II girls were taught sewing, cooking
kousework, mechanic arts and skil!e
