a PASSIONATE PIG.
gIis Singular Affection for a Man ana no
xenge Upon Her Slayer.

The large, blooded Poland-China boar
Rob Roy Ill, owned in the town OF
Wayne. east of Lake Keuka, has more
than a local reputation, not only 1or MS
breeding but for the fierceness OF his
nature He is of enormous size. with
the exception of his owner he Will per-
NIT no one to come near him, and the
only other living thing on the farm that
he ever had any friendship for was
dominick hen, which has been his al
most inseparable companion and at
tendant for moro than year. The big
hog has the run of half an acre OF
ground, and he has rooted that over and
over again, for apparently no other pur-
pose than to provide the hen with
worms and other insects, without her
having to take the trouble to scratch Tor
them herself.
The hog and the hon could be seen
any day in good weather making the
rounds of the Enclosure, the hog turning
up the ground with his great snout, and
the hen standing ready to seize tho
worm or bug the roofing revealed. The
hog would watch the hen as she scratched
in the upturned dirt for insects, the old
fellow grunting contentedly the while,
and apparently having no object In HE
but to root for the hen. When she had
gone through one roofing of soil the
boar would pillow up another one, and
keep on until the hens appetite was
satisfied. Then Rob Roy Ill would
stretch himself in the sun for nap, and
the hon would either wallow in the dust
by his side or perch on his body some
where and wait for her big admirer to
wake up.
The hen always took her place on the
edge Of tho boar's swill trough when his
feed was poured in, and picked out such
morsels as his nosing about the trough
brought to the surface.
A week ago another pig was turned
into Rob Roy's inclosure, and the big
hog tolerated her pre- sence. She fed al
tho same trough with him, and all went
well until Saturday. The dominick hen
perched herself as usual on the edge OF
the trough at feed time. The new pig
did not approve of this, and with quick
and savage movement caught the hen BY
the neck and bit it in two before she
could squawk. For a moment Rob Row
turned his head and gazed at the tlut
tering and piroutting of the bleeding
and headless body of his friend. Their
he made one rush upon the dominick':
slayer, and before his owner, who hae
been witness of the hens taking of
could interfere, Rob Roy had torn the
other pig SO frightfully with his long
tusks that she died in few minutes

MISS OR MISTRESS
All Women Out of Their Teens Are En-.
titled to the Latter Appellation.


"Miss" is merely diminutive, and is
properly confined to young girls, just as
Master" is commonly confined to
school-boys. In tho days of Pope,
"Mrs" was the common appellation OF
unmarried ladies. Sir Walter Scott, too,
speaks Of Joanna tunmarried) as Mrs.
Joanna Bailie. There are nowadays
plenty Of spinsters-and young spinsters,
too-who insist on being addressed as
Mrs" and at one or two places in Sus.

Ia miss" and the unmarried lady re-
ceives the title Of Mrs" The same
custom is found in many parts of Ire
land. The form Mrs" was at one time
applied indifferently to persons at all
ages. Nowadays our servant-girls ex-
pect to have their letters addressed as
Miss" though there are few that
have more sense There is story told
OF a certain maid-of-all-work who trans
ferred her savings, upon the ad-
vice of her mistress, to the Post
office Savings Bank, and she was
asked how she did it. The
young lady gave me a book, ma'am,"
she said, "to write my name in, and her
wrote my name in another book; and
her says to mo, Are you Mrs. or Miss?'

want" That young woman respected
herself and her calling. She had not
been educated at board school. Among
servants generally, the cook, whether
married or single, expects to be called
"Mrs." SO do housekeepers, though
unmarried. In point of fact Mrs. or
Mistress is title of respect that the
plain Miss" is devoid of. Why actresses
who are married women should seek to
disguise that fact by allowing the pis'
leading prefix of Miss to be attached 70
their names is a mystery that admits OF
no intelligent explanation. Are they
ashamed OF their husbands? There arc
many well-known exceptions to this
habit OF disguise and masquerade, bu,
fifty per cent. of the theatrical Misses
are entitled by law and custom to the
term generally recognized as distin.
gushing the married women. Only
about fve per cont. OF the entire profess
sion admit that they are married and
are not ashamed to publicly own it on
tho theatrical programme.-Tho Lady.

NEST-BUILDiNG FISHES.
They Watch over Their Young Like n
Careful Hon.

Tho Bitshki is a Russian fish which
lives in the Black Sea. When tho
Matching season approaches, it seeks the
shore and builds there a nest for its
young. Both father and mother unite
| In gathering seaweeds, and deposit them
/ IN small holes on the shore. There the
I mother lays her eggs, and watches over
Thorn like careful hen until they are
matched.
The sticlllcbacl not only builds a nest
for its young, but defends 1t from attack
With great zeal and ferocity. One nat
uralist says that he took male
stickleback from tho water, and placed
( him with others in a collecting bottle.
Then he went on observing the nest
which the prisoner had been guarding.
Suddenly large crowd Of hungry
sticklebacks assembled about it and be-
gan an attack, evidently with the pur-
pose Of deyouring the young within.
The conscience stricken naturalist al
once dropped his prisoner among them,
/ and as soon as the wronged householder
could collect his scattered wits, he
rushed at the invaders, attacked them
1iercely and soon was again in possession
of his nest, which he at once set about
mending with bits Of weeds and twigs.
A Chinese fish constructs a nest, not
Of grass or scaweeds, but Of frothy Sc
cretions. The male prepares bubbles in
the air by sucking thcmin and strength
oning Thorn with mucuous matter from
his mouth. THIN he brings them into
the water, and eXpels Thorn to construct
a nest. The female enters this cavity,
and lays her eggs there.
The eggs sink to the bottom OF the
water, and the male is then obliged TO
raise them into the nest, Ho appears to
be unable to carry them in his mouth,
so he swallows largo supply of air, de-
sends beneath the eggs. and violently
eXpels the air accumulated This air,
finely divided by the iringes of the gills,
escapes in the form OF two Jets Of
gaseous powder, which envelop the eggs
