downcast and respondent. But in a month
or two he fell back into his old ways.
Shortly afterward new man got a sheet OF
his copy that commenced and ended in the

minutes, and then, walking over 10 a galley

and many entertaining stories are told about
that period of his life. This one is too good
to let slip:
Being assigned to report hanging, he
determined to find out if possible whether
consciousness deserted the victim at the
moment the drop fell or not In converse
ton with the condemned man he said:
My friend, have you any objection to
help settle a scientific question? There has
been a good deal of talk in the newspapers
lately as to whether a man who is hung has
any consciousness or feeling after the drop
falls. Now, if you choose, you can settle
this question"
How asked the surprised man.
Well" said Halford, suppose you have
consciousness after the drop falls. If you
will just wiggle the little finger of the right
hand that will be signal TO me. | will
know you are conscious as long as the finger
keeps wiggling. Will you do itr'
The man was not easily persuaded, but
Halford's eloquence finally overcame him.
1t is not recorded that the finger wiggled.

Hos Breeding,

Some rather startling computations
have been made on the subject Of hog
breeding. 1t has been found that, if per
mitted, hogs viii live from fifteen to
twenty years Of age, that they COM

nine to twelve months old. and that from
one pair only IN ten years, allowing only
six to litter. male and female, upward
Of 6,4S4,SS pigs would be obaaned;
that is to say that, if, instead Of three
acres and cow, a countryman started
with some acres and pair OF pigs, he
might in the course Of ten years count
their progeny by millions This is not
reckoning on any ous-of-the-way basis,
for it has been shown that one SOW
actually produced 355 pigs in twenty lit
tiers; while at an exhibition Of the Agri-
cultural society boar was shown which,
although only twenty months old, was
already the father of 1,46s hogs. Here
then Is wealth for the million.-San
