The Newest Thing in Thieyery.

The newest thing iu Inspector Byrnes's
line was developed when Detective Wolf
brought in Antonio Frosnello, lad
young in years, but evidently precocious
in crime.
Antonio is an Italian, fourteen years
old. He lives at 102 Mott street, and
for living blacks passengers boots on
the South Ferry line of boats.
Sunday afternoon Young Antonio
sauntered into T. Goldesman's photo
graphic gallery, ss1 Canal street, and
told the artist that he wanted to sit for
his picture. The lad was attired in his
best Sunday clothes, but his appearance
was not quite in keeping with the impor.
lance of the event. He said that the picture
was to be present to his sweetheart, a
Neapolitan beauty, and he wanted to APP
pear at his very best. lie asked the
photographer to loan him his watch and
chain for the occasion.
All unsuspecting, the photographer
did so. The picture was taken, and the
operator went into the dark room, leav.
ing Antonio alone. When he came out
the boy had gone, and with him the gold
watch, chain and medals attached, worth

WISE WORDS.

Suffrage means liberation.
A fool is always self-possessed.
Contentment is akin to foolishness.
Happiness can only be had by earning
it.
Envy and pride are always on good
terms.
1t is burden to possess unearned
wealth.
Every one can be master or slave to
himself.
1t is better to be ignorant than to stop
learning.
Life is continual conflict between art
and nature.
The only way to be both rich and
happy is to earn it.
Happiness is derived from industry
rather than wealth.
A sieve-like brain is convenient for
education in transit.
A lazy man has good authority for
complaining of others.
The richest man is he who is on good
terms with his feelings.
1t will not avail at all to find fault
with the result of free choice.
Success depends upon how much one
can bear without becoming pulled.
Prejudice is as difficult to discover in
ones self as to find virtue in politics. -
Sturdy Oak.

Dreams.

The subject of dreams seems to de-
mand more thorough study than it has
yet received from science. DR.. Julius
Nelson, of New York, has lately pub
lished the results of an examination he
made of some 1000 of his dreams. He
finds that the dreams of evening gener-
ally follow great physical or mental ia
tigue, and are associated with the events
of the day. The same applies to night
dreams, which, however, have more of a
terrifying element in them. The most
remarkable and pleasant are the morning
dreams, occurring after complete rest of
the brain. Fancy then appears to have
its widest range and activity, working
marvellous transformations, and giving
clear vision of the past and the future.
DR.. Nelson further finds that the vivid
ness of his dreams is subject 10 regular
fluctuations of twenty eight days, aud
that they also vary with the seasons, so
that they are very vivid in December,
and least vivid in March and April. Az
old popular superstition attaches special
importance to dreams in the twelve
nights from Christmas to January 6, and
it is suggested that this is, perhaps. be-
cause dreams at that time have been
found very vivid and distinct.

room AND CARE or YOUNG PIGS.

In the East we do not have access to
cribs of cheap corn, such as our Western
brothers are favored with for the pork
production, so we are forced to study a
more economical way of producing this
standard meat. l am strongly in favor
of every Eastern farmer raising his own
pork, but l want to see 1t accomplished
on paying basis. If two-thirds of the
farmers outside of the corn belt, who
raise hogs for family use, would figure
out the actual cost of their home-fed
pork, they would find that it far exceed
ed the moneyed worth of the commodity
in their local markets. The principal
causes are slow development of the grow
ing shoat, and the final cost of fattening
it. We must make the shoat grow
faster, and fatten it at nominal outlay
First, pigs should not be taken from their
dam too young; they should suckle her
until they are at least six weeks old; the
SOW in the meantime to be fed hearty
ration of milk producing food. Before
they are weaned, the young pigs will
