Lesson of the Learned Pig.

At country station on one Of our rail-
ways pig used to be 8 constant visitor.
and drove thriving business in picking
up stray grains of corn which dropped
from the bags as they were loaded on the
cars One day the pigs greed so far
overmastered his discretion that his tail
got nipped between the brake shoe and
the car wheel. and when the train started
the tail was jerked out by the root The
victim of this sudden catastrophe was
now confronted with the dismal prospect
of having to naTigste through the rest Of
his life with his steering apparatus q
total wreck He continued coming to the
station after that. but whenever be heard
the clatter Of an approaching train he
hurried OF to q safe distance and backed
up against brick wall till the cars had
passed, he was Fever going to permit
himself to be subject TO the risk Of such
an indignity again. even though there was
10 longer any tail Left to BE pulled out.
He had acquired sufficient railroad expert
euce to appreciate the magnitude Of the
loss OF terminal fscihties.-Geo. Horace

of use. At Bastia. however. juries have
been proverbially nerciful, perhaps on the

ciple. Be this as it may. the condemna-

phenomenon in the criminal annals Of
the town 1t appears that for upward Of
forty years no Bastia jury had returned

Incidentally it may added that Roc

arrested as he was taxing constitutional

with it's six chambers loaded. being as
a matter of course found on his person.
1t is possibly owing to the arrest Of his
parent that the jury made 20 bold" as
to pronounce the culprit guilty of all the
charges laid at his door. The vendetta.
after all, sometimes forestalls the guillo-
tine. and Rocchili the elder might have

Success and HerOiSm.

There are no qualities which succeed SO

nothing heroic about it. And there is
nothing heroic about the success of the
self made man who takes all his chances
and leaves his younger brothers and
sisters to shift for themselves. The young
man who stays at homo in order to help
those near him-to rise from the slough Of
poverty is the hero. He is unselfsb We

would have no heroes. We should have

strains every nerve and sinew to make
money is laying up for himself en- old age
