A PIGSTICKING ADVENTURE.

A correspondent Of the Calcutta
Englishman, writing from Mozuffer-
pur, Tirhut, gives a description of a
days pig-sticking. The fourth boar
proved tough customer. This ami
NAL (says the writer) was a typical
wild boar, sulky and savage to de-
gree, breaking backwards and back
wards again whenever the elephants
reached him, charging with real vi
cious intent whenever any one neared
him, and, when forced out of cover,
using his pace to get back again. He
totally refused to go away clear, so
it was determined to kill him in the
grass. Mr.. D-promptlv got spear
into him, which did not improve his
vicious disposition, and he charged
in savagely, only to be struck again.
Upon this he lay down and let him
self be prodded twice, making US be-
lieve that he was dead. But sudden
ly, without warning he charged out,
and cut H. C.'s horse in both hooks,
and then with a spear still in him
charged between two elephants.
Then, as Rider Haggard would say

The older woman laid down her
book, and looked, still smiling, a t the
speaker.
The younger sat with her hands
folded idly in her lap. She looked
far across the pansy beds. She look
ed across the hedge which divided the
garden from the road, across the
birches which lined the road and
bordered the river, across the river
itself, to where the low hills touched
the sky upon the other side.

low and passionately, that it is all

ourselves We make such pitiful,
such terrible, mistakes, and, with our
hardest efforts we never can al

best years on such childish toys, and
when we see the true worth Of the
things we have despised, behold the
time to obtain them has gone by.
What is the meaning of it all !?

caught her brea tn, and there was

her voice shook a little, you have

You cannot see why the road given

travelled to its end. You cannot
read the word until you have got all

FOOD ADULTERATIONS.

The statements of A. ]. Wedder-
burn of the department of agricul-
ture, who has been making an in
vestigation into the food supplies of
the United States, that % per cent.
of the food used by our people is
adulterated, and thereby we lose a
sum of money which he approx
mately estimates at 500, 100000 a
year, is such stupendous piece of
exageeration than it is difficult to
characterize it in fitting terms. In
the first place, the great staple arti-
cles of food cannot very well be adul-
terated, for the reason that it would
cost more to adulterate them tina n
could be gained by the operation.
Beef mutton, fowl, potatoes, turnips,
onions, beets, cannot be adultera ted
There would be no gain in adulterat-
ing flour, rice, sugar and a large
number of other standard commodi-
ties.
There might be deception practiced
in their sale" for the articles might
be of an inferior quality, which sold
for their superior attraction; but
this would not constitute adultera-
ton Certain food commodities are
more or less adulterated, such as
coffee, spices, tea, butter, but it does
not constitute in quantity or expense
anything approaching 1 5 per cent of
our food supply, and the profits re-
sulting therefrom cannot be estimat-
ed at anything which comes within
a gunshot of $7OO,OOO,OOO year.
Mr. Wedderburn is anxious to have
crea ted National Board of Food In
spection, and for this reason has en-
tered the lists as a special pleader,
but he has made the mistake that
others have before him in similar
enterprises in overstating his case

THE LITTLE DARKEYS DEA TIL.

There is a white-haired old Friend
living in Chester county, whose face
wears an expression of deep sorrow
that seems craven there. Friends
who have known him for 25 years
have the first smile to see on his
broad furrowed face. He is won
derfullv benevolent and kindly old
Quaker, especially to the colored
people, who come to him from miles
around for counsel and assistance.
There is a shadow on the old mans
life, of which few of his friends have
any idea. It was cast away back in
war times. His home had been
station on the underground rail-
way" and to his home one bleak
night came a bright-eyed, ebony
skinned little runaway Of about IA
years. He was such a quick-witted,
clipper little chap that the kind
hearted Quaker concluded to keep
him to run errands and do chores
about the farm, especially as he
pleaded so hard to be allowed to
stay. 1t was not long however I'M
til he developed into the most incor-
rightly mischievous little "darkey"
that ever came out of slavery.
Pleadings, lectures and seedlings
had no more effect than the whist
ling of the wind through the trees.
A good birch whip would hold him
in check for an hour or two, but his
reformation would disappear with
the sting. One day the Quaker went
on railway journey and took the
little colored lad with him. On the
road was long tunnel and before
they reached it it occurred to the
Friend that its terrors might be util-
lied in bringing about reformation
| to the black bundle ofmischief beside
him. He said: -
Caesar, I have tried to befriend
thee, and you give me only disobe-
dience and trouble in return. Ingra t.
itude is black sin, and now l fear
thee must answer for it,
Just before they reached the tunnel
he rose and said, gravely: Caesar,
leave thee to thy punishment"
The train dashed into the blackness
of the tunnel, with shrek from the
locomotive like triumphant fend
and when it emerged into the light
Caesar was lying in heap on the
floor between the seats. They
picked him up tenderly.
The mischievous little darkev wa:
dead.

a strange thing happened; for one of
the elephants, seeing the spear stick
ing in the pig, pulled it out with its
trunk and threw it high over the
mahout's head. When the spear had
thus been extracted, the pig evident
" lost blood, for he lay down and
let himself be slain peacefully. After
this surley fellows death, the ele-
plants were taken to the smaller
grass across the ''bandh." Seven
fighting boars, averaging collective
ly over thirty inches each, and four
horses cut, was good enough for one
morning, and it was batch of sat
isfied sportsmen who sat down to

A SHORT TARIFF TALK.

One of your farmer friends, whose
only fault is that he is a democrat
and he is not to be blamed for that,
for his father before him was dyed in
the wool, and he never reads the
newspapers-came to town one day
this week to buy some sugar. His
good wife was putting up fruit and
she needed about fifteen pounds Of
sweetness. The dialogue in the gro
Gerry ran about as follows:
Farmer-What are you doing,
young man?
Clerk-Waiting on you. Weighing
out sugar.
Farmer-How much are you Civ
ing me?
Clerk-A dollars worth,
Farmer-Yes, 1 know; but how
many pounds.
Clerk-Twenty-four
Farmer-Twenty-four! Why, it
used to be only fourteen.
Clerk-Yes. but Mckinley did it.
Farmer-Well run her back and
give me only fourteen pounds. If 1
