cess.
l. He early adopted the plan Of salt.
ing ell hisanimals in waterstight troughs,
keeping salt in these all the time. 2.
Finding after while that the hogs were
fond of this and charcoal, he began the
! use Of both-charcoal when the swine
were closely penned, and ashes with the
salt always. 8. When the bristles and
hair on the animals were reduced BY cul-
ture and the forests diminished, he pro.
vided shelter for his hogs, still bedding
them, when convenient, with leaves. 4.
When they tore up his grass by roofing
for worms he put rings in their noses,
but to supply the want of flesh gave
them all the dead lambs and other use
less meats. 8. In feeding, for many
years he has abandoned the close pen,
putting his hogs in grass pastures, allow
ing them pure water, green food and ex-
excise. The exercise diminishes some
what ths fat but it is compensated by
the other advantages, and when pump
kins are used they are content to eat and
wander about less, and full feed of
pumpkins is worth one.third Of all the
corn fed. -... -
This correspondent puts salt first in
importance as preventive of cholera,
and believes that salt, of all substances,
is the best promoter Of digestion and an
tidote against worms. =

Mrs. cleveland's Double.

Mrs. Cleveland has her double in
Washington. The lady IS Miss Mullen.
She is employed in one Of the depart
menis, and the joke Of the resemblance
is that Miss Mullen has been inno-
cent Of it until quite recently. You
know that the Marine Band plays every
Saturday afternoon in the rear Of the
White House. On these occasions the
grounds are crowded. with visitors, and
those Of the middle classes Of Washing
ton society. I believe it IS not the proper
social cdper for the elite 10 attend these
concerts. Soon after the marriage Of Mr..
Cleveland the concerts seemed 70 grow
in popularity 4 better class Of Wash
ington society attended them than had
been won't Then il began TO be whis-
pered that it was all on account Of Mrs.
Cleveland's presence at them. This, Of
course, increased attendance, and then il
was discovered that Miss Mullen, who
went to the concerts with great regular
ity. had been mistaken for Mrs. Cleye-
land. 1t is said Miss Mullen has not lost
her senses on account Of the resen-
blnce.-Chieago Ti5,e4

Amusement for English School
boys.


believe that Uppingham makes fuller
provision than any other existing school
to meet the necessity for diverse en-
ployment or healthy amusement out
side of study hours Until within a few
years the great schools mostly contented
themselves with providing facilities for
cricket and foot ball For these ample
provision is made at Uppingham in sew
eral large playing fields, and the cricket
ers of the school particularly have won
for themselves record so distinguished
as to prove conclusiyely that exclusive
attention TO this game is not essential to
great success. But Mr.. Thriug WAS per
haps the first head master who fully real
lied and acted upon the fact that many a
boy has not the stamina for these games Of
strength and skill, nor can he, By any
amount Of forced exercise, be led to take
pleasure in them. The gymnasium, open
ed in 1859 under care of a competent
gymnastic master, was the first possessed
By any public school in England For
many years the school has had in opera
ton carpentry. where any boy, by the
small fee, can secure regular and compe-
tent instruction in the working, Of wood
and the use Of carpenters tools. In 1882
this field Of useful manual occupation
vas enlarged by the construction Of
forge and metal workshop, where skilled
instruction is similarly given, and boy
can go far towards making himself a COM
petent mechanical engineer.
In the same category may be included
the school gardens. These gardens, open
ed in 1871, cover some acres, and are laid
out and planted with much taste. Here
boy may have allotted to him a small
plot Of ground for the cultivation of plants
and flowers. In connection with the
gardens is an aviary, where the lad with
taste for natural history has an oppor-
tunity to observe the life and habits of a
considerable collection of birds. A pref
ty stone building looking out upon the
gardens serves as a school sanitarium,
and if beautiful surroundings eonduce to
health, UPpingham patients ought to re-
cover rapidly. The want Of any stream
of considerable size near at hand led TO
the construction, few years ago, Of large
swimming baths, where the boys can per-
feet themselves in an art which, while 1t
does so much to protect life, is also Of
great sanitary value.-George r. Partin

streng.h OF WhIte Ant Earth

When a fragment Of earth has been
cut away BY one Of these soft little in
sects, it is so mixed and worked up with
a giutinous saliva, which it elects, that it
becomes like an exceedingly tenacious
mortar, and, when dry, turns into sub
stance as compact and strong as stone
itself. Out Of this substance the whole
OF that portion of the dwelling that lies
above the groGnd is built up bit by bit,
each bit being hardly larger than a mus
tard seed. There are often many IONS Of
this stone-like stuff in single ant hill 4;
and it is not only sOstrOng as to resist the
terrible fury Of tropical storms. but It viii
support without disaster the weight Of
wild bulls, who have a trick of climbing
upon the ant heaps, when partially fin
ished as desirable points from which to
survey the surrounding country. In fact,
the white ant earth has been quarried
and used by the missionaries in some
places on Lakes Nyassa and TangaHyika
as material for building their houses and
in South Africa the natives pave their
floors with it and use it to build their
ovens.
