in love with a girl who didn't believe
in rec procity worth Il cent. His per-

day the girl fell of the dock into the

whispered, putting out his hand 70

LAUGHED INTO THE GRAVE.


From Hysterla.
Ayoung lady who resided on Madi-
son avenue received a letter recently
from a relative in Nashville. Tenn.
says the New York Herald. which
contained an account of 81 peculiar case
of hysteria which resulted in the death
of a l~6-year-old girl The latter had
her risibilitles excited by the actions
OF m intoxicated brother. and despite
the efforts Of her parents and a ply
stefan. who had been summoned. the
young girl laughed herself TO death.
The victim was the daughter Of
Hiram Wathen. a prosperous farmer,
who lives a few miles south of Nash
vile. She has been suffering from a
complication of disorders for
several years aud frequently had at
tacks OF hysteria which invalided her
for several days at a time.
An older brother visited Nashville
on the day of her death with several
companions. and returned home in the
evening considerably under the in
tluence OF liquor. On attempting to
climb out OF the carriage in which he
had been riding he slipped and fell,
rolling over several times on the mud
dy drive.
The young girl began TO laugh al
his misadventures and continued
about twenty minutes. At the end Of
that time her mother rebuked her.
She endeavored to control herself
but failed. and then made signs to her
mother that she was in pain She
continued TO laugh and giggle, but all
expression Of hGmor had left her face
and tears stood in her eyes. Mrs.
Wathen made an attempt to relieve
her by douches of cold water and
other simple means, all Of which pro,
duced 10 effect and then a physician
was hastily summoned.
BY the time the latter arrived the
girl was rolling upon the floor scream.

The Rootlnr rrobIsm

The question as to whether ringing
hogs is advisable or not has never
yet been satisfactorily discussed,
though there has been very able adj
vocates on both sides Of the question.
The strangest argument in favor Of
having the hogs nose as nature made
it. to root hog or die" is, that before
the invention Of the various devices
for the prevention of roofing. such as
rings, Sitting OF the nose and etc.
there was little or no sickness among
swine; in fact such a disease as hog
cholera was unknown; and the ques-
ton arises will he root ii he can have

ton to other animal life. The wild
deer will find his salt lick the buffalo

the buffalo grass grows and in like
anner will other animals seek the
haunts and peculiar food necessary to
their subsistence; so with the hog;
while he has been domesticated and

aud valuable animal. he has not lost
his hoggish taste and appetite for
flesh and blood. worms roots, nuts,

Mr.. Sanders Spencer an English
authority on pig raising. said in the
course Of a lecture to farmers: The
great secret is to breed only from
those pigs whose sires and dams are
from prolific strains. and from those
sows that are bred to milk well. The
chief cause OF so much dissatisfaction
in tho past with so many Of the so
called p~edigreed pigs, has been in
want Of attention to the prolifcacy
and rearing properties of the bears
and sows bred from. The great idea
has been TO produce a pig short in the
head heavy IN the jowL thick in the
shoulder. and wide on the top and
then to make it 80 beastly fat that it
could neither eat grass. walk about
or produce its species; nor was ii fit
for anything but TO render into lard.
This is exactly the most useless and
the most Improbable kind OF a pig it
is possible TO produce. The folly. like
any other silly fancy. takes a lot Of
killing. but although it die hard. its
death knell is sounded. and nothing
has brought about this most salts
factory change more than has the dis
cussion in the press and at the farmers
clubs on the question OF the best pig
for the bacon curers' purpose.
