The Pot Cure.

Russian peasants have peculiar
cure for collie; it is called the pot cure,
and in its nature it is a hideous ampli.
tication Of the operation of cupping.
The patient is stretched on a bench
and his abdomen is washed with hot
water and then covered with soap-suds.
While this is being done thin slices of
birch bark are set on fire and put into
an empty pot. When the vessel be-
comes 50 hot that it can hardly be
touched with the bare hand, the burn
ing bark is quickly thrown out and the
pot placed mouth downward on the
abdomen Of the patient. One woman
holds the vessel steady, while another
one kncads the body Of the sufferer, so
as to press it into the pot, which was
emptied of air by the burning bark.
An old peasant on whom such an op-
GRAFTON had been performed declared
that be would not submit to it again.
His COLES were somewhat lighter, but
he would rather endure them than the

Let the boys and girls get out their
biographies.
Our first picture is that Of beautiful
island situated in one Of the loveliest
and most romantic parts of the world.
1t is close to Italy-so close that the
Strait Of Messina has to be very mar
row one in order to crowd itself between
the island-Sicily by and Italy.
Our artist in drawing a picture of the
island of Sicily. conceived great re-
semblance between the shape of the
island and that of bird. BY adding a
few lines and shadows to the outline of
Sicily he has shown us how very much
alike the two shapes are. Have any Of
the scholars ever noticed this resem.
blance before? If they have. will they
write and tell the Little Schoolmarm
about it? Perhaps some one knows
something interesting about Sicily and
would like to tell the others. We shall
expect to hear right soon.

"A Joke of the Season.

! Street fakirs have been reaping a
rich harvest lately from the sale of lit
tie glass walls like those used to hold
homeopathic pellets. The walls cost
at wholesale fraction of cent apiece,
and the fakirs have been retailing them
for 5 cents each. Their value as Il,
street hawkers novelty consists in the
fact that remarkably funny practical
joke can be played with them.
Each Of the little bottles now being
sold in the streets has small hole
drilled or blown in the bottom. When
filled with water and corked tightly
the vial will apparently be perfectly
sound. The water will not escape
from the little hole in the bottom of
the vial until the cork is withdrawn
from the other end. As soon as the
cork is pulled out, however, the water
will run out Of the little hole.
The joke consists in Offering a filled
and corked bottle to the chosen victim
with the question, Can YOU tell me
what that perfume is in that bottle?"
At first the victim attempts to smell it
throug h the cork. Failing to perceive
any odor in this way, he naturally
withdraws the cork, and the chances
are about twenty to one that the con-
tents of the bottle trickle down his
coat sleeve and wet his arm to the
elbow. Then the perpetrator of the
joke laughs tiendishly. and the victim
says: 'By jove, that is the best thing
I've seen yet; where can I get one?''
The trick is IN old one but it has
probably never been sold before. The
way it was played about twenty years
ago was this: A whisky flask was used
with a small hole in the bottom. It
was filled with water and corked and
given to the victim with the remark:
II will show you the most wonderful
trick you ever saw. Put that flask in
your hip pocket and will stand six
feet from you with tumbler in nv
hand, and without going near you or
touching you in any way will draw
the water from the flask and till the
tumbler with it." The joker would
then take the tumbler in his right hand
and stand as he had said. Nov pull
out the cork and I'll draw the water
from the flask" he would say. The
consequences to the victim were of
decidedly unpleasant nature. The
trick in its modified form is not quite
so funny, but it is more good natured.

A Lively War Reminiscence.

One day when I was at Glendale,
Va, couple of negro boys drove up
with a mule and cart and began to
dump out at the blacksmith shop lot
of stuff picked up on the battlefield Of
Malvern Hill. There were bullets,
buckles, stirrups, belt-plates, musket-
barrels, rusty swords and bayonets, and
in the lot was a loaded shell. which had
been fired from heavy field piece.
The blacksmith was an old darkv, and
the boys were his sons. When he saw
the shell he said:
You git QUO wild dat yere foolish
ness! Didn't dun tole you not TO
bring any mo- of 'em yere?''
One of the boys threw the shell aside,
and then the old man went with me
down the road to point out the public
hitching-post. We were gone about
half an hour. and were within 100 feet
Of the shop, when there was loud ex-
plosion. A great hole was blown out
of one side, and part of the roof was
bulged up, and the two boys came
tumbling out through the smoke and
ran against us. The old man grabbed
one by the arm and whirled him around
and demanded:
Didn't dun tole ye to let dat fool
ishness alone!'
shes 'sploded" gasped the boy.
I'm co'se she 'sploded. an now TIE

And he drew him to shade tree,
broke off a limb, and tanned his Jacket
till the boy yelled murder. Then we
entered the shop and found it almost a
wreck. The boys had placed the shell
on an anvil and struck it with the
sledge and the anvil had been blown
ten feet away. Miraculous as it may
seem. neither boy was injured in the
slightest.

A MERRY SABLE,

The Baltic Sea, the Gulf of Finland
and the Gulf of Bothnia seem to be hav-
ing merry time, do they not? They
have taken on the form of sable, and
are running away. The sable is going
in the wrong direction, though, if he
only knew it, for his. head is turned
away from Russia, instead of towards
it, and every one knows that the sable
makes his home in and around Russia,
SO that he and his family can keep us
supplied with fine Russian sable furs.
All four of the sable's feet are CULTS
and his head is pointed directly towards
New Zealand, as If be hoped to make his
escape past New Zealand, Denmark,
through the North Sea and into the At
lantic Ocean. he will do well however,
to stay where he is, between Sweden and
Russia, for the climate is cool and brac-
ing there.

The bestway in pig breeding is to-

chances are that time md labor will be
