Making Hog Happy. aud How 1t Re-
suited
We were sitting in front Vi Taylor's gro
Gerry on a summer day when big black hog
came nosing along the gutter and started a
new train of thought. In the crowd of
loungers was a man from st. Louis, and,
after watching the porker for while, he re-
marked:
IL wonder if that hog ever had real good
time in all his lifeF
Hogs allus have good times, guess" re-
marked the village cooper, who had knocked
off work and come over to hear some politics.
IL doubt it, said the other He must feel
his degraded position in life, and so he cannot
be happy | wish could do something to
make him feel that life is worth the living"
"Fust man | ever saw who pitied a hogl"
grunted the blacksmith who ought to have
been tackiag a shoe on waiting mule.
Eyes, do pity him. I've been down my
self and know how it is. Taylor, have you
got any cherry whisky"
Mighty little, if any. More cherries than
whisky, | guess.
"If you've got two quarts of cherries
which have been in liquor, bring 'em out,
and I'll give you half a dollar I'm going to
make that hog happy for two hours"
The grocer got the cherries which haip
been lying in liquor for a couple of years,
and the St Louis man poured them out into
the gutter for the hog They were devoured
with astonishing avidity, and the porker
stood and looked at US and hungered for

would affect him, but after few minutes he
began to frisk and play, and was evidently

cherries "He is becoming light hearted, and

scattered and he entered the grocery, took
two or three turns and shot out and down
the street. Esquire Smith was coming up,
and the hog charged and upset him He then
headed for a horse and buggy in front of
Snyders, crashed against the horses hind

with a can of kerosene in her hand, and the

Ammonia for Electric shock.

An ingenious dentist has been making
some interesting experiments with ami
mails which have been nearly killed by
electric shocks.
On Wednesday he was standing on
the street and saw sparrow in a small
pool of water left by the street sprinkler.
The bird soon went up and flew to wire
overhead. The shock at once sent him
to the ground, where he lay until the
dentist picked him up, barely able to
move his wings. The gentleman breathed
into the sparrow's mouth and let him

one the bird was soon able to fy,
but he again returned to dangerous
locality, and the result was another
shock much worse than the first. When
the bird fell to the ground he was APP
parently lifeloss, but the dentist took
him to the Office and began an expert
ment.
He at first resorted to artificial respira-
ton as before. and then injected in the
birds flesh aromatic spirits of ammonia
and poured few drops diluted with
water down the sparrow's throat. He
then put him in dry closet and gave
him some clear water after few min
utes. When placed in the closet the
birds body was nearly cold, but the
treatment proved so effective that in
less than an hour he was able to fly as
well as ever and was liberated. Eastern

Miss Bashkirtsen-s Funeral.

Immediately upon her death Marie's
house was draped inside and out, liter
ally from top to bottom, in white velvet,
and white flowers were scattered in
great profusion.
Marie's body was entirely covered be-
meath a mound of flowers. OF all her
friends not one was allowed to see her
face after she died. She had changed
terribly in the last few hours of her life,
and her mother and aunt respected to
the letter her dying request that nobody
should be allowed to see her.
The funeral was great event in Paris.
Every one of the long line of carriages
was draped in white cloth. Music was

proposed to bore through the sound upper

statement, Mr.. Searles got so angry he
kicked one of them across the room. They
patched and pieced, sewed and plastered,
and saved a part of his jaw, and in three
weeks the old hunter was able to go around

Stories Are Multiplying.

Stories Are Multiplying.
Deaths by snake bite are very rare indeed
in any country north of latitude 81 or
thereabout, but several have lately oc-
CURED, and so many persons have been
bitten as to create the impression that
snakes are increasing or getting more ven
omous.
Oliver O'Daniel, workman thirty-five
years old, was bitten on the third finger of
the right hand by a pilot snake at the stone
quarry near Lambertville n. j., the other
day. Although the wound was lanced and
dressed within an hour the man died the
next day. His hand and arm were swollen
to an enormous size before night, and dur
ing the night the whole of his right side
was swollen and turned dark. His suffer
ings were terrible.
1t seems strange that fatal snake bites
should be reported from so old "A country
as England, but the London Practitioner
gives account of some, and also of rapid
cure in some cases of bite by the death
adder, the treatment consisting of injec-
tions of strychnine combined with cleo
trio treatment.
The usual spring crop of marvellous and
humorous stories is reported. Editor +. j.
Bowser, of the Chesterton Qnd.) Tribune,
reports that he recently stirred up snake,
which he attempted to kill with a stone
Contact of the stone with the snakes body
gave back metallic sound and there
upon he hammered the reptile upon the
head until it was dead. He then discover
ed that two-thirds of the snakes body was
incased in a section of gas pipe one inch in
diameter. Whether the snake had crawl
ed into the pipe when young and grown
fast, or was wearing it for self protection
is conundrum with Editor Bowser.
Carl Sutton, of Steubenville, o., tells Of
a very pretty fight between his favorite
cat and blacksnake which had killed her
two kittens. The cat was holding the
snake at bay, and had inflicted several
scratches on the snake when Sutton ar
rived The snake sprang at Sutton and
buried its fangs in his wrist before he
could kill it. The reptile was nearly seven
feet long.
