distributed, but that that chance VIII DC

district should not have abandoned his con
test for tho doorkeepership of the next
House, as all the southern repno!i'
cans in the House would have stuck by
him, and compelled his election or that OF q

Servian Wealth In Hogs.

The real industrial wealth of Servia lies in
its pigs. Out of a population of 5000, 900,
100000 walk on four legs with indepen-
dent air, sort of "a pig and brother as
sumption of coequal rights and privileges.
The Servian pig is certainly a remarkable
animal, and no other pig is so self assertive,
SO strong, or 50 hairy as he. We have seen
one of them while driving along by the side
Of his master, insist on alighting whore he
pleased, which happened to be over the splash
board. No persuasion or argument could in
duce him to alter his mind, and it was not till
he had tripped up the pony and upset the cart
that he was satisfied.
The mature hogs coat is of a deep red
brown and as curly as a retriever's, turning
to long gray bristles down his back as he adj
vances in years. His presence is everywhere
visible or audible. He crops out ON every
hillside and from every thicket and copse,
and lines the banks of the Danube in hun
dreds, while the train that carries you away
from Belgrade will cross tracks packed with
squealing porkers and taxing Imagination to
conceive by what ingenuity the beasts were
ever induced to enter and be penned. When
we remember that King Ale1ander's great
grandfather was a swine herder at Takovo,
we must further allow the pig his niche III

Ice Water.

There is a great deal of sentiment and
many opinions regarding the use of ice water
that vanish when the light of reason and ex-
perience is turned upon them. The fact is,
that ice water, drank slowly and in moderate
quantities, constitutes a healthful and in
MIGRATING drink. There is no doubt that ice
is great sanitary agent, and every family
ought to be provided with it during the
warmer months of the year. It is true that
the inordinate use Of ice water, OF its use under
some special conditions and circumstances, is
attended with great danger, so is the i'm
proper use OF any other drink or food. The
assumption that iced water is dangerous, and
that iced tea, or iced coffee, or iced lemonade
is harmless substitute is simply a delusiou
As the source of danger feared by some is the
degree of cold, we fail to see clearly how
flavor modifes the effect of temperature
There are some individuals, undoubtedly,
who cannot drink ice water without injury,
and who ought never 10 use it, but to a great
majority of persons it is refreshing and
bealthful Its use, temperate and discreet, is
in no wey to be condemned, which cannot be
said Of some of its substitutes. Sanitary

A person of dishonest character met the

4 striking illustration of the independence

to send his son to Oxford. The son graduated
with honors, entered the church, and became

One day the bishop came to the livery

be tired of business, and must wish to retire
into the country and live in your own way.

The cold of Siberia is SO great in winter
that many kinds OF provisions, which
are with us either sealed or sailed, are
there kept by simple freezing. The ap-
pearance of the markets at that season
is described bv Mr. Lansdell:
Frozen chicken, partridges and other
game are often thrown together in heaps,
like bricks or firewood. Butchers meat
defes the knife, and some of the sales
men place their animals In fantastic
positions before freezing them.
Frozen fish are piled in stacks, and
milk is offered for sale in cakes or bricks.
A stick or string is generally CONCEALED
into corner Of the mass to facilitate
carrying, SO that wayfarer can swing
quart Of milk at his side, or wrap it in

IMPROVEMENTS ON THE HOMESTEAD

In the busy, dusty city
l dreamed Of boyhood's days,
And the old stone homestead far away
MID quiet country ways.
Its shinged roof all moss grown,
Its walls so cool and gray,
And the vine clad stoop where the old folks sat
To rest at the close Of day.
Then the dream became longing,
And, travelling far and fast
came to the liCtle village where
Ny childhood's years were passed,
And sought the quaint stone mansion,
But 0, what change was therei
Bay windows, balconies, and, at
One end, a porte cochere
The walls were pumpkin yellow,
The shingled roof bright red,
And, at the side, a rounded tower
Reared high its upstart head.

No signs of days gone by!

To look in some old face
He loves, beholds it daubed with rouge,

To rest when day was DER.
