An Electric Pig.

Philadelphia paper tells of curious
incident that may serve as warning to
butchers and to meddlers.
In front ofa meat shop, on an iron hook,
there hung few days ago, half a pig,
nicely prepared and of appetizing appear
ance. A dog came running up the street,
and happening to see the little pig, went
up to it and longingly snuaed around it.
Hardly had he put his nose on the pig
when he uttered a cry of pain and ran
bowling away
A second cur soon appeared and Jared
no better; he ran away bowling as if a
ghost had laid its hand on him. Gradu-
ally as a third and fourth dog had shared
the same fate a crowd gathered and eve
ryone looked with distrust at the porker.
One of the owners of the shop, who
wanted to find out the cause of the trou-
BILE, at last went up to the pig, touched it,
and also flew back as though tarantula
had stung him he had received an cleo
trical shock. An investigation proved
that an electric light wire had come in
contact with the hook on which the meat
hung, and thus the pig was completely
filled with electricity.
