atInQ Live Animals.

The mining village of Hickman,
on the Toms Run branch of the
Pittsburg, CHARTERS, aud Yough.
iogheny railroad, IS IN a state of
terror and of Indignation. Hu.
name Agent O'Brien, of Pittsburg,
on Tuesday received a complaint
from some citizens of that village
of a crime so startling that be i'm.
medlately began an investigation,
which Will lead to arrests. The
complaints states that a number OF
Italian and French miners, from
Walkers Mills, are IN the habit of
cOngregsting at Hickman and
wagering bets on the ability Of a
Frenchman, named Maxine, to eat
live ANIMALS. This Frenchnan is
a small, thickest MN, with
british GOuntenance, who, it is
alleged, fed from France to avoid
Imprisonment on complaint of the
humane association there. He
wagers that he can eat any small
animal alive. Ga the last OCCASION
the spectators formed a ring around
him, and at signal Maxine seized
frightened, trembling rabbit aud
began TO crunch its right forefOOt.
He ate hide and all, and IN a few
minutes his british instinct 80 as
serted itself that he would hold
the dying animal In his teeth and
shake 1t like a ter rier does . rat, all
the time yelling in frenzled rage,
while the blood Of the rabbit
covered his face and shirt and
spattered over the countenances OF
the drunken group who gazed at
him.
The live animal eater within
fifteen minutes consumed ali of the
animal save its hind legs, and then
fell exhausted to the ground. He
had won his wager and his back.
ers insisted on being paid. The
losers we're unwilling to settle, and
soon there was a general fight, in
which several of the participants
we're badly injured, and knives
we're used, but without serious
effect. Lancaster Examiner.

HOW THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
PAY OFF THEIR DEBTS.

A statement of the debt extin-
gulshment of our country since
the war never ceases to be impress
i've. 1t reflects not only the growth,
but the patriotism and prosperity
of our people as no other statisti-
cal exhibit does. The mere fact is
startling that twenty-five years
ago, less than q generation, the
public debt was $2,756,OOO, 900,
entaillng an annual interest charge
OF Sl51, 900, 900, and it is now only
1921, 100000, and the interest
charge is but 100000.
The face of the debt has decreas'
ed to one. third it's maximum size,
while the interest charged has de.
creased to ,one.ifth Its highest
amount, owing to refunding at the
constantly declining rates of inter-
est.
In the past ten years large
proportion of the debt has been
extlngnished. At the time OF the
1880 Gems the public debt was
81, 919,OOO,OOO. and the interest
charge was $40, 100000, so that in a
decade the debt has been reduced
99S, 100000, or say $1,000, 100000.
1t will thus be seen that If the
country remains prosperous and
continues to be we'll governed it
will be entirely possible to extin-
puish the entire remaining public
debt IN the next ten years, 80 that
the people of the United States
could, if they choose, enter upon
the twentieth century with a net
surplus in the treasury. 1t has
been the historical fiscal policy OF
our country to pay of this debt;
We presume it will continue to be-
The present census will show
Go, 100000 people in the United
States, in all probability, and this
will figure debt at the present
time OF only GA per inhabltant,
which is small, while the interest
charge of 500, 1903 entails a tax
of less than so cents per year per
inhabitant.
Our readers will see from this
how slight a burden the national
debt Is in comparison with the
real taxation of the people, which
is local taxation, ranging all the
way from SO to $l9 per 1000. The
problems which confront this gen.
Grafton of Americans are not those
of poverty, certainly.-BostOn

A Peculiar Case.

DR.. II. G. Edmunds, ElbertOn,
Ga, writes ga very peculiar and
strange case of blood poison came
under my attention short time
ago. A gentleman came here from
Athens, GA. where be had been
bitten on the hand by y vicious
mule that he was breaking to work
The hand was in a horrible con-
dltion, and the inflammation was
rapidly extending throughout his
entire system. Every knuckle on
his hand was an ulcer that was
deep and sloughing. He stated to
me that he had consulted several
physicians, and taken their medi-
cines without deriving any benefit,
| gave him a course OF Swift's
Specific Is. S. S., and in a few
days be reported to me marked
improvement, aud in one week
from the time he commenced tax.

THE HORSE.

The profitable horse for the farm
must combine a good degree OF
adaptation to the required farm
work, with qualities that demand
recognition in the best market. A
small proportion OF the horses pro-
duced on the farm are required for
continued farm labor, but lt is a
fortunate fact that the best ana
most reliable markets call for such
horses as may be produced from
class of mares best adapted to the
diversified wants of the farmer
No clear.sighted breeder Will be
contented to raise the animal that
in common parlance is denomi-
mated the general purpose horse.-
He is compromise between the
two types that are required to
furnish three-fourths of the market
requirements and fails to give in
any considerable degree the dis
tinctive merits Of either.
The idea that the horse that at
maturity will weigh from 1000 to
1900 pounds, possessing a semi
draft, semI-roadster formation, but
wanting the weight of the former
and the style and action of the
latter, is a typical horse for the
farmer to breed, Is a delusiOn and
a snare. This idea has sacrificed
the best available blood in the
country, ignored the demands OF
the best markets, aud filled the
land with unstable, because IN
desirable, stock.
The combination of speed, style
and weight, so often found III the
roadster stallion Of the present,
gives us an animal entitled TO the
careful consideration OF a class OF
our farmers. A standard bred
roadster stallion of superior style
and finish, and weighing in proper
condition 1900 pounds, or up
ward, is grand acquisition to a
community of discriminating farm
ers, from such a sire and we'll
bred, clean.limbed, good styled
--cc.:ister mares weighing loo
pounds or more, a class of colts
should be produced that will al
ways be IN demand for carriage
work in oar cities, as we'll as

wants OF a class OF our American
farmers.

Sensible HOusekeepers of the Flu
ture,

l wish that it we're in my power
to persuade young girls who won.
der what they shall do to earn
their living, that it is really better
to choose some business that IS in
the line of wOman's natural work.
There Is great repugnance at the
thought Of being a servant, but a
Girl Is no less a servant, to a man
who owns the shop where she stands
behind the counter all day than
she is where she waits upon the
table or cooks the dinner in a
pleasant house ; and to my mind
there would not be a moments
question between the two ways of
going out to service. The wages
are better, the freedom and liberty
are double in one what they are in
the other. If, instead of the sham
service that is gwen by ignorant
and really Overpaid servants to.
day, sensible New England girls
who are ANXIOUS to be taking care
of themselves and earning good
wages, would fit themselves at the
cooking schools, or il any way
they found available, they would
not long walt for employment, and
they would be valued immensely
by their employers. When one
realizes how hard 1t is to find good
women for every kind of work IN
our houses, and what prices many
rich people are more than willing
to pay ii they can be we'll suited,
it is wonder more girls are not
ready to seize the chances. 1t is
because such work has been al
most always so carelessly and
badly done that it has fallen into
disrepute and the doors Of it haYe
taken such low rank. Nobody
takes the trouble to fit herself prop
erly, but women trust to being
taught and finding out their
