Tho wonder Of Wonders.

When Mr.. Loughton was Spanish con-
sul at Boston he was one day standing
near where some ballast-stone were be-
ing thrown overheard from vessel that
had recently arrived from a European
seaport. Among this rubbish was a
flint pebble somewhat larger than a
hens egg, which, when it struck some
of the larger stones, separated in the
middle. Mr.. Loughton stopped and
picked up the two halves. On each
half, in marks made by the natural
growth Of the stone, were two perfect
human heads in profile, all Of the out
lines of features and hair being perfect
~ distinct, the natural portrait being
much darker than the surrounding
stone. The most surprising part OF the
whole incident is the fact that, even
though the two halves fit together ex-
actly, one of the faces was clearly that
of male, the other tnat of female.
Even the putting up Of the hair was ap.
propriate to the sex; yet, in the stone,
they were face to face.-St. Louis Re-
public.

LIVE STOCK BREvlTIES.

Nor SO much depends upon the build
ns upon the care and management.
Sows WITH pig should be fed well in
order to have the pigs mature early.
RADICAL changes of treatment or
sudden changes of food often result in
q disadvantage to the thrift of the hogs.
Too MUCH grain is more detrimental
to breeding stock than too little. A
good portion of their food should be
coarse and bulky.
CONSTANT feeding of corn is almost
certain to produce an excess of fat, and
this tends to produce an unhealthy
state of the system.
WHEN commencing to feed to fatten,
the brood sows and growing pigs
should be separated from the fatten,
ing hogs, at least when fed.
STORE up supply of clover espe.
cially to feed the pigs during the winter,
they will thrive better than if they
must depend upon grain alone.
IT is a good plan in building hog
house to arrange place to store feed
and bedding overhead; in many cases
it will be found quite a convenience.
IF hogs are fed within twelve hours
before killing, the meat is more liable
to sour than if no feed is given, while,
in addition, the food will be wasted.
WHENEVER the nights begin to get
cool good feed of whole corn can
nearly always be given with benefit.
1t is one of the best materials for keep
ing up animal heat.
AS SOON as the pigs are old enough
they should have feeding place to
themselves, commencing with light
ration and gradually increasing as they
grow older. Farmer and Stock
Breeder.
In breeding stock do not expect to
get better animals than those you
breed from, for you will in all ikeli-
hood be disappointed. Like begets
ike" and if you want good colts and
good calves look closely to qualities Of
both sires and dams. You cannot get
perfect animals by breeding cripples.

Fashions in Tables.

A year or two ago the people who
owned round dining-table envied
those who possessed a square one, and
now the matter is reversed and still
the madame with the oblong table is
out of fashion. heard lady say of
her square table, which, of course, is
long one when few table boards are
put in it; "This is hopelessly suggest
i've of boarding house, this long ta-
BILE; so have had great cover made
for it, which is seven feet round and at
which l can seat eighteen people," And
so it goes. We who have oblong tables
are worried because they are not round,
and those that are square are in fashion
one year and out of fashion another,
and things have to be kept going, so
that trade may boom and that those
who are afraid of the dictates of fashion
may be kept miserable. le.-Toledo Jour

HARRISON LOOKS BACKWARD.
A Gross Insult to tho Character Of the
American People.

Gross Insult to tho Character of the
American People.
In his speech at st. Albans President
Harrison quoted from another speech
made at the same place fourteen years
ago this sentence: Grading Manches-
ter sent two regiments to conquer n
market" This, the president said, re-
callc>, to his mird the fact that zone of
the great motives of resistance on the
part of the colonies was the unjust
trade restrictions and exactions which
were imposed upon them by the mother
country in order to secure the Amer
lean market for the British manufac-
tNrer."
But the recalling of these things to
mind does not seem to have induced in
the mind of the president a perception
of the folly of the mother country in
wren ching trade and industry from
their natural courses by arbitrary meas
ures-a folly which cost her the rich
est of her colonial treasures and changed
the stream of modern events.
1t did not suggest to the presidents
mind that the arbitrary and unjust re-
strictions to which he referred point to
the conclusive evidence that even in
the colonial days American manufac-
turing industries, then actually in their
infancy, needed no artificial nurture or
defense. Why did the mother coun-
try think it necessary to impose unjust
trade restrictions and exactions in or
der to secure the American market for
the British manufacturer? Why did
she think it necessary to send two
regiments, and many more with them,
to conquer market? Obviously for
the reason that manufacturers Were
springing up in America in spite Of the
arbitrary restrictions and cxactions
imposed by the British government.

their employment is mainly confined tc
the truck farms where vegetables are
raised for the city markets. Nor are
they anywhere near SO plenty about
Boston or Philadelphia. There are
many places in the west, however,
nearly exclusively peopled by old-world
nations where women regularly take
hold of farming operations. Except in
truck farming, for which they seem to
have special aptitude, they usually
get out of it as soon as they absorb the
modern American spirit. It's a great
pity. Women used to rake hay and
milk cows almost universally in this
country as they do in others, and were
probably healthier and happier for it.

manufacturing IN the colonies. the
British manufacturer would have held
the American market without the In
tervention of the British government
with it's arbitrary and harsh measures
in their behalf.
It is an interesting and instructive
fact, which does not seem to have
taught the president any more than it
has taught Mr.. Mckinley, that in spite
of the repressive measures adopted by
the British government, which went SO
far as to declare certain colonial
manufacturing concerns nuisances, the
enterprise and genius of the colonists
were pushing both commerce and
manufactures with such energy aud
success as to alarm Manchester. Not
only without protection of any kind,
but in spite of the severest repressive
measures, the American colonists were
coming rapidly not only to supply their
own wants, but to supply the people
of other countries with manufactures,
and in fact they actually exported con-
siderab BILE quantities of iron.
That was century and quarter
ago, when the population of the colo
nies must have been less than four
millions, and when the prodigious
natural resources of the country were
almost unknown. And yet the presi-
dent and Mr.. Mckinley assure us that
now, with an enterprising, energetic
and enlightened population of sixty
four million, with resources the most
varied and in many respects unsur-
passed, with the best of industrial ap.
pliances and with the best means of in.
accommodation, natural and artifi-
cial, our industries are poor, feeble in
fants that would perish miserably if
they were weaned from the govern
