The Art Of Leaving.

When Mme de Stael visited Weimar
with the avowed intention of intellect
ually capturing the literary lions of
the day, Goethe and Schiller, she made
one fatal mistake; she stayed too long.
Goethe wrote to Schiller: "Mme. de
Stael is bright, entertaining person,
butshe ought to know when it is time
to CO."
The art of leaving is less understood
by women than by men. The habit of
business, the recognized fact that to a
business man time is money, the throng
and press and exactingness of business
life, all tend to make men who live in
cities the best possible exemplars of
the fine art of leaving quickly and
neatly. A business mans social call is
usually model of good manners in
this respect. When he has said what
he has to say, and listened to what
there is to hear, he takes his hat, says
''good-evening," and is out Of your
presence without giving any time or

thoroughly independent body of men.
And that they will inaugurate a new

Medical z ducation.

There are not a dozen American
medical colleges out of the III that
would be tolerated for a moment in
any foreign country that lpretends to
be civilized. And while, on account
of some of our dead and living
eminent medical men, the profession
of America is respected in other coun-
tries, American diplomas, as class,
are byword and almost reproach
among the profession in foreign coun-
tries. And thus they will continue to
be until medical education and prac-
tice are regulated throughout the
country. For years the representative
men of the profession have been be-
fore the state legislatures end asked
for such regulation. All the legisla-
ton that exists has been obtained by
persistent efforts on the part of the
medical profession. On one side have
been the better classes of medical
men; On the other side the quacks,
charlantans, low class colleges and
some newspaper men who are ''agin
the Doctors because they do not ad-
vertise in the newspapers. In the
matter OF medical legislation the states
have failed in their duty. The indica-
tions are that they will continue to fail
in this respect. To protect the health
and lives of the people is the plain
duty of any and every government.
To get the best results, and to insure
uniformity of regulations, the whole
matter should be placed in the hands
of the federal government. Why
should we lag in the rear of all other
nations?-North American Review.

How q Fox Escaped from a Hunter.

A good story is related at the ex-
pense of a well-known business man of
Little Rock and one of the best-na-
tured gentlemen in the world. His
hunting proclivities are well-known,
and he has the reputation of being so
skilful in this line that seldom, if
ever, does anything escape from his
grasp when he once gets on its trail.
Last Saturday, however, it is related,
he was defeated in q most provoking
fashion. He saddled up his swiftest
steed and took up a trail that led to
the southwest from the city. A short
distance away he started up a hand
some looking fox. Away the animal
flew with Martin in close pursuit He
seemed to be under an unlucky star,
for no matter how much he spurred
his horse, the fox always kept just out
of reach. The race lasted fully five
hours. SO the story goes, during which
the sly little animal doubled and re-
doubled his track so much that the
daring hunter became greatly bewil-
dered. At last the fox showed signs
of fatigue, and Martin began to smile
to himself as he thought of the salts
faction with which he would break
the little fellows neck. But alas for
his fond anticipations! 1t happened
that they were running through
herd of hogs at the time. Just as
Martin was preparing to ''close in,
the fox nimbly sprang upon the back
of a long-legged porker-one of the
kind that can outrun race-horse.
The hog raised his snout, gave a
frightened grunt and away it flew.
Martin stopped, completely SPELL
bound with amazement The fox held
his seat like a circus-rider, while the
further the hog got away the faster it
seemed to 60. Martin watched the
strange pair till they disappeared in a
brush patch, an1 then returned to
Little Rock. He related the strange
occurrence to a number of eliminate
friends,' and from them it became
known thr oughout the city.

A True Wife.

1t is not to sweep the house, make
the beds, darn the socks and cook the
meals chiefly that a man wants wife.
If this is all he needs a servant can
do it cheaper than wife. If this is
all, when a young man calls to see a
lady, send him into the pantry to taste
the bread and cake she has made; send
him to inspect the needlework and
bed-making; or put broom in her
hand and send him to witness its use.
Such things are important, and the
wise young man will quickly look after
them. But what the true young man
wants with wife is her companion
ship, sympathy and love. The way of
life has many dreary places in it, and
a man needs wife to 90 with him.
A man is sometimes overtaken by mi S.
fortunes; he meets with failures and
defeat; trials and temptations beset
him, and he needs one to stand by and
sympathize. He has some hard battles
to fight with poverty, enemies and sin,
and he needs a woman that when he
puts his around her, he feels she has
something to fight for; she will help
him to fight; she will put her lips to
his ear and whisper words of counsel,
and her hand to his heart and impart
inspiration. All through life, through
storm and through sunshine, conflict
and victory, through adverse and
through favoring winds, man needs
woman's love.-The Lady.

Feeding Swine.

Stockmen who have made observa-
tons in feeding swine are claiming
that some of the breeds have lost vigor
by long-continued feeding of corn as
an exclusive food. Corn is deficient in
mineral matter, especially of lime, and
the use of corn leads to degeneracy.
Only by a varied diet can the vigor be
maintained. Injudicious feeding leads
to disease and loss.-N. E. Farmer.

Feeding For Bacon.

There is something else to be aimed
for in breeding and feeding hogs be-
sides the amount of lard they will
make. The best market at present is
reserved for good bacon hogs. Buy
ers understand that hog fed nothin g
but corn, while he may be heavy, is
coarse. soft and spongy. A hardy con-
stitution is what the successful breeder
should try to attain. Pick out the best
breeding stock, neat, plump and we'll
boned, but avoid the coarse. lubberly
stock. Vary the food from corn to the
more heterogeneous foods, as rye, oats,
bran, short middlings, oil meal, grass
and clover, with an ample supply of
good ashes, which is one of the best
bone builders apd worm destroyers
We should make distinction between
feeding and fattening. Corn furnishes
very little Misunderstanding, flesh pro-
ducing food; it is made up so largely
OF carbonaceous material that fat is al
most its only product. After the pigs
are we'll grown. and have good, strong
frames and constitutions, they may be
fed on corn with profit. But even then
care should be taken or overlooking in
one direction will injure their health.
Hog cholera is often proof of bad
feeding, and always takes the most
hold on constitutions weakened by con-
slant corn diet.

Over-saltinr of Butter.

If the butter is thoroughly worked
to remove all the white flakes of
caseine, it will need much less salt. It
is the impurities of butter, and espec-
tally its exposure to air. that cause it's
quick decay, The public taste of late
years requires much less salt in butter
than it used to do, and to make little
salt effectual necessitates all the greater
care from the butter-maker. Over
sailing is, therefore, presumptive evil
dence that salt has been added to
cover defects arising from ignorance,
laziness and general want of cleanli-
ness.
