The present Emperor of Russia Is a

There has been too little attention
paid to tho worms that infest our do
nestle animals, They are known to cX-
list, but their habits and danger seem to
have escaped investigation and notice
by writer's on diseases of hogs espe-
cially. In my early Investigations of
diseases of hogs, says a writer in the
Western Rural, | became satisfied that
intestinal worms had more to do with
their health than was generally be-
lieved. In 1SSl | published a pamphlet
entitled THE Hog, His Diseases and
Parasites which gave an account of
my Investigations on that subject
which was intended as a warning to the
public, advising the determination of
intestinal worms. Since that time, and
especially the past two years, there has
been an increasing inquiry for a rem
edy that will destroy worms in hogs

o compound chat contained enough
tonic Alternative and cathartic with the
vermifuge to tone up the digestive or
gans, evacuate the bowels, and at the
same time to be a safe worm destroyer.
The same theory and practice are APP
plicable to horses and sheep.
| would also caution the readers of
the Rural against feeding stone coal or
he ashes from it to their hogs. Stone
,oal is too hard and indigestible. 1t
contains the properties of coal oil, which
is harmful. Hogs will eat it for the
sulphur it contains, which, if not mixed
with the coal, would not be objection
able if given in reasonable quantity.
Coal ashes are rough, gritty and hard,
with no medical virtue, unlike the ashes
from wood or other vegetable matter
which contain anti-acid properties and
assist digestion. 1t is the reverse of
healthful, producing costiveness and
arrangement of the stomach and bow
els. Coal and ashes made from wood,
burned corn-cobs or any other vegetable
matter are perfectly safe and healthful
to the hog. also advise feeding salt
to hogs. The better plan is to mix it
with ashes or air-slacked lime. One

Her mother expressed feeling of dread,
And wished to sit back by the door.

And down the broad aisle We would go.

On fathers strong arms were leaning their

While faces were lovingly bent.

Filled the heart OF dear little Prue.

4 Insect That Has Caused Many n

= stout Heart to Tremble.
I'd 1ankind have in all ages been prone
ab the most lamentable superstitions,
THE enlightened nations of antiquity
were no more exempted from them than
the most ignorant.
The jews, as we are repeatedly in
formed in Scripture, could with diff
Guilty be restrained from idolatrous and
superstitious practices and confined to
the worship and service OF the only true
God.
This remarkable tendency Of the He
brew nation was in all likelihood caused
by their s%ojourn for the space of -four
hundred years among the Egyptians,
whose whole system of religion was a
mass Of idolatrous observance. They
had a number of ideal gods to whom
they erected temples of p~rodigious size
and architectural splendor; they also
offered worship to various animals, as
the OK or bull thence the golden calf OF
the Hebrews), to which they gave the
name of Apis; the dog, the wolf, the
hawk, the ibis or stork, the cat and
other creatures; they likewise paid
alteration to the Nile, personifying it in
the crocodile, to which temples were
erected. and set apart for it's service.
The Egyptians, Notwithstanding their
learning, also believed in dreams, lucky
and unlucky days, omens, charms and
magic. In a word, they were grossly
superstitious, and seem to have had but
a feeble conception, If any, of the laws
which regulate the ordinary phenomena
of nature.

Origin of Different Races.

NJ De Quatrefages, the French ethno-
logist, has made public his conclusions
with regard to the origin and distribu-
ton of the human race. He says all
mankind came from a central mass in
Northern Asia, and that there
were three fundamental t~ypes-black,
white and yellow. These three types
scattered over the world and intermin-
gled, forming, in time, seventy-two dis
tinct races, which is the number now
represented on the globe. De Quatre-
FACES believes that the American Indians
came from a "blending of the white and
yellow races with a local quaternary
race."-St. Louis Republic.
