"Breed Many, Hang Many"

The thoroughbred pig is a modern
product, the achievement of the nine
teenth century, and, like all new in
ventions, it is not yet perfect, hence
we must use our best Judgment, that
derived from past experience In our
breeding and management OF him. AS
is much easier to tear building down
than it is to rear new one, so the care
less breeder will find his herd will
deteriorate much faster than our
breeders of skill can rebuild. One
bad GROSS is often to be OBJ.
served to crop out in a herd
years after the animal that first
caused it had ceased to exist. Every
breeder of thoroughbred pigs should
paste the motto of Lord Rivers, the
celebrated greyhound breeder, in their
hat, viz: Breed many and hang
many" The pig breeder need not, like
the canine breeder, resort to extreme
measures, but he can, by judicious use
of the knife. accomplish that which
Lord Rivers did with rope-establish
sure guarantee that they will never
do uble their own disgrace by producing
pigs of like inferiority to themselves

Colorlnr Artificial Eyes.

The art involved in'coloring the crys-
tai ball intended for the schleroctica, or
white of the eye, in producing an artifi-
cial member has been reduced to mat
ter of great simplicity, at the same time
attaining the desired perfection. In the
best results the artisan applies to the
glass ball enamels Of different colors,
which. amalgamating with that OF the
crystal in pasty state, gradually give
it tie tint of natures optic. This oper-
alton begins with the iris, which is
formed by the use of several amalga-
mated enamels, and, the iris finished,
there is placed in its center a spot of
black enamel; this is the pupil, which is
to be encircled by the artist with its
areola, the process being completed BY
drawing those almost infinitely small
as we'll as exquisite fibers which are
found in the iris. The globe of the eye
being in this manner brought to its
completed state of beauty. and adapta-
ton, all that remains is to place 1t in the
center of the crystal ball.-Science,

ting all the families of stray pigs in tho
Community through its low and very
small cracks.
1t is also very important matter to
all those who have farming interests to
have a sufficient knowledge of chem
istry to make a chemical analysis. so
that any soil may be subjected to a
chemical test. In this way it may
be ascertained what qualities are
wanting, and how they may be sup
piled by the application OF certain
acids, or alkalies, if the acid predomi-
mates. Also the relative value of fer
tilizers. This suggests the sad fact OF
the general use of imported fertilizers
Il say sad, because of the dismal con-
sequences which 1t entails, viz: the
mortgage system, which so nearly
wrecked the farming interests OF our
dear Sunny South, and which was al
most unknown prior to its introduction.
1t is like a moth fretting garment, or
a canker-worm in the heart OF rose,
But when there is higher degree OF in-
telligence among our farmers, all these
things will be put away. and in their
stead will be reign of prosperity I'M
known before in the annals Of agricult-
ure. 'sIt is consummation most de-
voutly to be wished. Cor Southern

ELECTRIC METERS.
Instrument Employed for the Measure
mcnt of Electric Force.

Employed for the Measure
mcnt of Electric Force.
A successful automatic electric meter
has vet to be invented. Some of those
now in use are thus described in the
Chautauquan by Professor Edward l..
Nichols, of Cornell University: There
are many ways in which the current
NAV be made to do work and to record
its rate of working. 1t may be made,
for example, to heat a strip Of wire or
foil through which it is compelled to
pass and the currents of heated air ris-
ing from the hot metal may be made to
drive a tiny windmill, which, as 1t runs,
records its own revolutions. Again, the
currents may be set to work driving the
LIQUID back and forth in kind of cleo
trical pulse glass, which being mounted
upon knife edges, rocks from side to
side, and, as it goes, makes record OF its
rate. instruments based upon each Of
these devices are in practical use upon
electric lighting circuits in this country
and in Europe. More frequently the
little motor is made to resemble in its
essential feature some one of the larger
forms which have come into use in driv-
ing machinery. A tiny armature reyolv-
ing within coil, which has its motion
controlled by some form of governor so
constructed as to make the speed as
nearly proportional as possible to the
current that drives it, is made to turn
the wheel of set of indicator dials
similar to those which are used upon gas

Mrs. Ellen Plat, wife of ex-senator
Thomas @. Plat. has large hopes for the
future of the cat. She is of the opinion
that the Tabbys and Thomases have
been shamefully and cruelty neglected,
and that II given half a chance they
would distinguish themselves. One of
her pets is a big, beautiful Tom, Julius
by name, who has been trained to do u
number of things. and gives evidence of
possessing superior ability. Julius eats
at first table, occupying a chair at the
left of his gracious mistress. he has his
W napkin, with a bit Of silk garter
and a silver clasp to hold it about his
peck. and whenever a morsel is handed
to him he makes acknowledgment by a
profound and respectful inclination Of
the head. He has never been known to
drop a crumb on the floor or capsize a
dish He drinks bullion and eats ice
cream, finger rolls, mint and any game
or fish In eason Julius travels with a
colored maid. Mrs. Plat has had nu-
merous offers from museums for his pur-
chase, but declines to put a price on his
Maltese overcoat.-Exchange.

1t rather staggers the North American
traveller in Peru to see the prettily uni
formed young women collecting fares on
the street railways, but when he visits
the second city in Mexico, Guadalajara,
and witnesses the refined courtesies prac-
ticed by the male conductors on the
street cars there he is completely para
lyzed. The of the Guadalajaran
are in keeping with the cheerfulness and
friendliness of this city. Imagine your
self entering a street car In New York,
or any city In the United States, and be-
fore taking your seat bowling, hat in
hand, to your fellow passengers, hone Of
whom you have ever seen before.
Then suppose yourself arrived at your
destinations; you rise, smile a friendly
farewell to the car in general, shake
hands with the conductor, and with a
polite inclination of the head take leave
of he driver. The number Of times l
have witnessedsuch exhibitions of polite
ness convince me that 1t Is one of the
customs of the country. How much
more winning is the urbanity Of these
delightful Guadalajarans than the su-
perficial intellectually of the Boston
conductor, who corrects your pronuncia-
ton and completes a quotation of
Browning when a passengers memory
is at fault.-New York Tribune.

Standing alone in n peaceful section Of
Prospect park is a big oak. 1t is known
as "Nelly's tree" and an inquiry of any
of the blue coated policemen will elicit
its history.
Fifteen years ago the tree was visited
by the young girl after whom it is
named.
The spot at which 1t Is located, Battle
Pass, is a historical one. Here a short
but decisive engagement between the
American and British troops occurred
during the war for Independence.
Tackled on the side OF the tree facing
the roadway, blackened and furnished
by time and the elements, is a nickel
plate. Delicately engraved on this Is
one simple word-"Nelly."
