Naturalists find that the Cathedral
# Strasburg, like the Coliseum of
Rome and other antique structures,
has quite an important fora and fauna
of its own. Not counting the stork,
which temporarily abides in the neigh
boring chimneys, eight species OF birds
nest upon the great building, where
yix of them have become very numer-
,us. The kestrel, the barn owl, the
domestic sparrow and the common
pigeon remain throughout the year;
the jackdSw, the chimney swallow,
the martin and the redstart being
transitory guests. Besides these, the
established fauna embraces three or
four species of bats, the common
mouse and the church rat, butterfly,
some spiders and few ants; while the
huge stone spire, rising 465 feet above
the pavement, is the rendezvous OF
thousands of insects that wander In
the air. The local fora of the dressed
stones is represented by some twenty
microscopic lichens. --ATbasssGU 1ToV

Shall We Raise Hogs.


A great deal has been said to the
farmers at the South to induce them
to raise their own supplies. 1t is gem
orally conceded, by the farmers them
selves, that it is much cheaper to pro-
duce ut homo all food crops necessary
for farm stock, but it is not SO gener.
ally believed that it will pay to raise
the meat needed by ouf labor.
Taking circumstances just rs they
are, this may, possibly, be true; but
making circumstances as they should
be, would very much change the con-
dition of things. In this, as in every
other business, we should seek the
best appliances and the most conven-
lent and profitable arrangements. Let
us arrange our crops, our pastures and
our convenicncies for proper care, and
the matter will be successfully settled.
Our lands and our labor are very
much cheaper than in the West With
proper preparation and judicious Gull
tivation, our crops can be produced as
cheaply and as abundantly as at the
West, and tho capital necessary to
bring about the same results is, there
fore, very much lessened. In other
words, hog worth in the markets
twenty-five dollars, grown upon cheap
err lands, cheaper products and in q
more favorable climate will bring a
larger profit to Southern farmer than
if raised under the conditions neces-
sary at the West.
The mistake we mako is the OK
pensive food given to hogs 1t 10 not
desirable nor profitable to feed hogs
so exclusively corn, as is gener-
ally done at the South. Much OF
this expense will be reduced in
good pasture. 1t is astonishing to see
how thrifty aud vigorous hogs become
on good Bermuda pasture, with very
little other food. Such pasture can be
greatly increased by sowing red clover,
at the proper season with the Ber-
muda. and have both grow together.
The lard must, of course, be well
prepared before receiving the clover
seed. I,ucern, a special food for hogs
has been found admirably adapted tc
the soil and the climate of the South
These grasses will not grow to adj
vantage, on worn out, thin land; MOI
does it ever pay to expect profitable
results in grazing the lands usually
given to pasture at the South. Selec
good lard, prepare 1t thoroughly, fer
tilize as fap,as may be possible, an(
seed to the grasses already indicated
and the foundation is laid for profita
BILE hog-raising.
In addition to pasture, crops may b.
grown at little expense and yet bring
good profits in furnishing suitable
change. Beginning in the early months
Of the year with rye, to be followed
successfully, with early oats, earl.
peas, the gleanings from the grail
fields later peas, sweet potatoes ant
ground peas, large numbers of hog
can be grown and the expense, as com
pared to the income, scarcely appre
oiable. To raise hogs successfully
and at a profit, we have only to ge
ready for it.
The main reason, / imagine, VIII
'armers do not give more attention t
raising hogs, is the destructio

Witchcraft in Germany.


A farmer in Germany lost several
head of cattle within afew months, and
his family agreed that this could only
be the result of witchcraft, exercised
by a neighbor with whom they were
not on friendly terms. A miller from
the vicinity, famed for his power over
evil spirits, was consulted, and ordered
the doors to be painted with certain
ointment. The evil-doer, he said
would be the first person to enter
thereafter, and could only be keptfrom
further mischief by having his or her
nose squeezed between the door and
the jamb until the member was
crushed. The first person who entered
was the neighbours wife, WHO was
dtsly captured, and who, though the
attempt a. crushing her nose was un-
successful, received some serious
wounds on the head in her attempt to
escape her torturers. Chicago Times.

LoEls PALPITATIoN.

He thought he had disease OF heart,
And life neared cxpiration;
He'd read DOCTORS book and called
Histrouble palpitation-
Aod hods OF coal remained unbrought,
Hehecded no imploring,
And in the yard the broken gate
Remained, for all restoring
Against the empty water-pau
His spirit he would harden,
And weeds d yard or more in length
Were growing in the garden.
For these and many more neglccts,
He had this explanation
! To give in accents low and sad:
'oh, dear, my palpitation."
But when the boys came by and spoke
OF baseball on the common,
A pair OF swiftly moving legs
Was seen with Joseph's form on.
Tho sides were placed, and Joe he had
BY vote the pitchers station;
The way that Whizzing ball was SENT
Was bad for palpitation.
And whom his side came in to bg
And he took hold the TIMBER
Hesent q beauty sailing DER
The center fielder timber
Good on your head three bagger Joe,
Run like-the very Nation"
And Joe yelled ''yes nor thought to add;
"oh, dear, my palpitation."
And when In triumph he came round,
Across the home plate flying,
He met his father, switch in hand,
A grim smilo on him lying.
They went toward the barn. that place
Ofgrief and lamentation,
And since that day, Joe nicer hath said
A word of palpitation.

She Lashed Him.

stage after a Sensational separation from her
husband, Arthur Padelfosa, cowhidsd her
manager on the street few days ago. Under

light opera company which has been playing
in this city and adjoining towns for several
weeks, was the victim Of Mrs Padelford's
whiplash. The two were formerly good friends
until Mrs Rochester and some Jealous
GLORIOUS girls made trouble few weeks ago
Manager R0chester left his wife In San Fran
cisco when he started on the trip, but she had
several friends among the chorus, who prom
ised to keep an eye on the husband. While at

There was q scene in the green room when the

the next day the air was full of divorce rumors
But by the end OF the week the trio were ap-

sight of her husband for a single minute. Just
what broke up those friendly relations is not
known, but certain 1t is that one day last week
Mrs. Padeiford purchased q heavy cowhide,

Painted Houses the Healthiest

Statistics show that people live longer in a
brick house than in stone, and that wooden
houses are the healthiest- This suggests the
idea OF using paint on masonry. An authority
states that 100 years ago it was fashionable to
paint brick buildings white, and many charm
ing structures remain to attest the value of q
coat OF paint in preserving the masonry, and
It's pleasant, home-like effect Is a foil TO the

death than the Imprinted ones, it would be
worth while to revive the ancient fashion, and

THE YOUNG MEMS BAPTIST CEMETERY.
The question of closing the Young Mems
Baptist cemetery Is under consideration by the
Commissioners. 1t will be remembered that the
health officer, in reply to the petition from
G. Brown Goode and others requesting that
the cemetery be closed, recommended that an
order to that effect be issued. Thursday q
committee composed of Henry Logan, Anthony
Hickman and C. II. Shorter. representing
the trustees of the cemetery called upon the
Commissioners and said it was not true that
the cemetery was over-crowded, but thought
the whole fuss the result OF the
efforts of real estate men who want the
cemetery removed to enhance the value of
their property. The Commissioners ques-
toned the trustees as to the depth Of the
graves and when they replied that they were
Of the regulation depth. Major Raymond said
if that was SO it was all right and no nuisance
existed, for you couldn't smell the bodies with
microphone. The Commissioners will decide
the matter shortly.
