AN UNASSUMDNC KING.

How One Of Swedcn's ROvereigns Remem.
bered IN Old Acquaintance.
Bernadotte, who became King of Swe-
don, was one among Napoleon's Marshals
who was not spoiled by prosperity. Gen.
eral Wangenheim, German officer in
the English army, at the time OF the
surrender of Pondicherry, was greatly
attracted by the appearance OF young
officer among the prisoners. The youth
was i'll and evidently discouraged. and
the General asked him If he would not
like TO go to his quarters as orderly or
officers servant, as this was the only
way the German could benefit him with
out exciting envy and jealousy.
The young man gladly accepted the
proposal, and for four or Ave months
served the General faithfully. At the
end of that time there was an exchange
OF prisoners, and the young man was
sent back to France.
Years after, the same General was in
command of fortified place in North.

as he delivered his sword. But the
Marshal opened his arms, and took the
General to his heart
Don't you recognize me, General?''
he cried. "Why, / am Bernadotte, your
orderly!"
1t is needless to say that he made the
formalities OF surrender as painless as
possible to his old friend.
A few days after the accession OF Der.
nadotte to the throne of Sweden, Gen.
eral Wangenheim received an auto
graph letter, inviting him to spend a
few weeks at Stockholm. The King re-
ceived him with the greatest cordiality,
and at great dinner given in the hon.

of the order of Charles Mi.

guests, Il present you General Won

The Best limo to lIO N-SOme PrecAu.

Weaving time is always an important
one, and care should be taken to see
that such attention is given as will pro-
mote and maintain = steady growth.
The best plan usually is to commence
feeding several days before weaving.
giving bran mixed with milk, which
should be allowed to stand. Provide >
trough in a place where the pigs can
run in themselves, and eat without be-
ing disturbed, then they will soon learn
to eat and get accustomed to the changed
diet. The age at which they should be
weaned depends greatly on their condi
ton. II they have been we'll fed, and
have done we'll, they can, as rule, DO
weaned when they are eight weeks old.
With others not doing SO we'll allow an
other two weeks nursing. A good
orchard is the very best place for grow
ing pigs. II there is good supply Of
grass, small quantity OF bran and
milk will keep them in good order. 1t
is not wise to made too sudden change
from the mothers milk to grass.
There is danger Of the pigs getting
stunted at this time. anx it is almost
impossible to correct the mischief. As
with disease, every precaution should
be taken TO avoid such. When there is
any considerable difference in the size
and quality Of the pigs. which often
arises when sows have large farrows, q
good idea is to wean the best pigs first
and allow the smaller and weaker ones
to suck few days longer. At this sea.
son the faster the growth Of the pigs
the larger will be the profit, and the
period from now EDWARDS. until real hot
weather sets in, is the very best time to
secure hcal,hv growth. The ex.
tremes Of hot and cold weather are both
against obtaining growth, whilst the
moderately cool weather in the early
| spring or autumn, under proper condi-
tons, is much more favorable for rapid
/ growth. With young pigs, Il they have
plenty Of good green clover, there is
little danger Of overlooking; but it il
never ad visable to give pigs or stock oi
any kind moro than they can clear up
comfortably. Judd Farmer

which ought to be taught n every school

OFFICIALS INDICTED.

New York increases every day. The
evidence so far discloses lack Of svs-
tenn that is most shocking and corrup-
ton that ought to be punished. The
Indictment of Heating and McGonigal
has been swiftly followed by the arrest
of the Deputy Commissioner Of Public
Works, Bernard T. Martin, for bribery,
of the ex-deputy of the sherif1's office
and custodian of the Registers office,
Philip Y. Walsh, for bribery, and of
Deputy Sheriff Patrick Fitzgerald for
petit larceny and extortion.

ex-sheritf, disclosed such vide field
for extortion and corruption, and such
carelessness as to make the public cry

be other arrests No books are kept in

run by the sheriff and deputies upon
the plan to make all they can out Of it
